To awaken the Legendary Fire spirit Loar in Slayer Legend, navigate to the Companion menu, open the Spirit tab, select Loar, and spend duplicate copies of him to raise his star tier. Awakening Loar upgrades his active boss vulnerability debuff, scales passive Fire damage, and increases account-wide Attack stats, making him a critical companion for clearing timed boss encounters.
Steps to Awaken Legendary Loar
Before attempting an awakening, acquire duplicate copies of Loar through Spirit Summons or spirit fusion chests.
- Open the Spirit Roster: From the main game screen, tap the Companion icon and select the Spirit tab.
- Locate Loar: Filter by the Fire element or scroll through your roster to select base Legendary Loar.
- Check Duplicate Requirements: Open the Awaken panel to confirm that you have the required number of duplicate Legendary Loar spirits.
- Confirm the Upgrade: Tap Awaken to consume the duplicates, raise Loar's star rank, and unlock higher skill scaling.
- Raise the Level Cap: Spend stored Spirit Stones immediately after awakening to level Loar up to his new maximum cap.
Awakening Stat and Skill Improvements
Awakening Loar enhances both his combat utility during boss battles and his passive stat contributions across your account:
| Upgrade Focus | Base Legendary Tier | Awakened Tier Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Active Vulnerability | Base percentage damage amplification on bosses | Increased damage multiplier and longer debuff uptime |
| Passive Fire Boost | Standard Fire element percentage increase | Higher passive Fire damage applied to all Fire skills |
| Account Attack | Baseline passive Spirit slot Attack | Higher passive Attack bonus active even when unequipped |
| Level Cap | Standard base level ceiling | Expanded ceiling requiring additional Spirit Stones |
How to Maximize Loar’s Burst Window
Loar is built specifically for high-health single targets such as Promotion Trial bosses, Guild Bosses, and closed arena encounters where timer expiration is your primary bottleneck. His active ability applies a vulnerability debuff directly to the boss, multiplying the damage of incoming player strikes.
To capitalize on Loar's debuff window:
- Delay Burst Casting: Do not fire primary damage skills instantly at the start of a fight. Wait until Loar triggers his active skill and the visual debuff appears over the target.
- Sync High-Impact Skills: Line up long-cooldown burst skills like Wrath, Rave, and Demon Hunt to hit while the debuff is active.
- Pair with Fire Synergies: Combine Loar with Fire skills such as Hellfire Slash and Red Lotus to take full advantage of his passive Fire damage bonus.
Deciding When to Prioritize Loar
Loar shares the offensive Spirit pool with Sala, while Noah serves as the primary defensive choice. Use your failure conditions to decide which companion upgrade to prioritize:
- Prioritize Loar if your Slayer survives until the fight timer runs out but fails to deplete the boss's health bar. Loar's debuff multiplier overcomes the diminishing returns of flat Attack against high defense.
- Pair Loar with Sala when running dual offensive spirits. Sala provides Fire resistance reduction and continuous burn damage, amplifying the burst window Loar creates.
- Prioritize Noah if incoming boss damage kills your Slayer before the timer expires. Loar only helps if your character remains alive long enough to cycle through a full burst rotation.
Avoid recycling or sacrificing other high-grade Legendary spirits to rush Loar's awakening stars. High-tier spirits provide permanent passive collection bonuses across your account, so spirit awakenings should rely strictly on targeted summon banners and earned milestone duplicates.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
This saved me time in the early game.
