Notable Attacks/Techniques: Key: Low-end/Platformer | In the RPGs
 * Magic Blast: Ludwig shoots a powerful dark blue blast of magic that homes in on his foes, and can be shot in groups of five at a time. When duplicated, Ludwig himself can shoot three while his clones can shoot two, making it a total of seven blasts. Ludwig can also charge it up and shoot it in the form of an enormous ball of energy that can potentially one hit kill his foe.
 * Fireball Spit: Ludwig shoots a fireball from his mouth, which flies at his foe.
 * Spin Tackle: Ludwig spins into his shell and flies forward, slamming into his foe. One of his strongest and most versatile attacks.
 * Zap: Ludwig points, and lightning flies from his fingers in the direction he points.
 * Battle Card: Cards Ludwig can summon to turn the tide of battle. Their affects can range from nullifying attacks via barrier creation, bypassing conventional durability via magic, raising his stats whilst lowering his foe's, healing himself, etc. A card, however, can cost anywhere from one to nine Star Points, and Ludwig has to build his up from zero by landing successful attacks on his foes.
