Lucius in Last Asylum: Plague
Lucius is an SSR Warrior Tank, and 2 of the 5 popular tier lists give him B+. He swings a great axe at the front, cuts the damage monsters deal to him and stuns with his top skill. Lucius is the Tank that a new account can field on day one, and he stays in the squad until Arthur or Bella is ready to take his place.
Lucius Stats
Lucius is an SSR Warrior tank. Level 1 starts at 3,207 HP, 17 DEF and 13 ATK. Command (CMD), the number of troops the hero leads, starts at 50. Maxing out means level 150 and all 50 star steps (10 full stars), which gives 2,012,674 HP, 11,181 DEF and 8,625 ATK, with CMD at 350. That puts Lucius 7th of 31 heroes in HP, 16th in DEF and 30th in ATK. ATK is the lowest of the three, inside the last five of 31.
The numbers above come from level and star upgrades alone. In battle Ravens, gear and base buildings add more, so the full build reaches 778,239 power. By full-build power Lucius ranks 16th of 31. Level 150 on its own, before any star, gives 1,565,472 HP, 8,698 DEF and 6,710 ATK. Lucius needs 10 shards to unlock and 975 more for the 50 star steps. Each SSR Hero Omni Shard is worth 1 hero shard. A hero with full stars can join the Hall of Honor, where the honor level goes up to 600.

Skill Priority
Four of Lucius's skills take Skill Badges. This order is the one the rankings and the numbers support.
- Decapitation. Its 5 second cooldown makes it the skill he casts most, and its three upgrades (stars 15, 35 and 45) end at 1,874.4% ATK.
- Whirlwind Cut. It is his biggest hit and carries the stun. Stars 10, 30 and 50 bring its upgrades.
- God of War Blessing. It is always on, but it tops out at 24% and affects only monster damage. Upgrades come with stars 20, 45 and 50.
- Battle Axe. Even the star 50 value of 514.8% ATK keeps the axe at the bottom of the queue. Tenacity costs no badges.
Lucius or Bella
Bella has the same rarity, faction and role, and the lists prefer her. Across the 5 lists that rank both heroes, Bella wins 4 of the comparisons. Her top skill weakens enemy ATK, and her active skill cuts more monster damage. Lucius counters with a stun and slightly more power. The full side by side table sits in the comparison on the Bella page. The short version is to field Bella first and keep Lucius as the second Tank or as a fifth Warrior.
Is Lucius Worth It
Lucius is worth using while your roster is small. Rankings call him a decent early Tank that gets you through the first chapters, and they warn that he has no shields or team buffs to scale later. Their advice is the same: use him freely, replace him when Arthur or Bella arrives, and keep rare upgrade materials for heroes that will stay.
Below is a video that sorts Warrior heroes for accounts that do not spend. Lucius gets no segment of his own, so use it to see which budget Warriors sit next to him.
Lucius Build
A UR hero can awaken and carry an exclusive weapon, while Lucius cannot, so the build has three parts. The stars come first: all 50 stars cost 975 shards. Tenacity, a 10 percent boost to ATK, HP and DEF, unlocks at star 40. Skill levels open with the stars, at star 20 for level 5 and star 30 for level 10.
Gear is the last part and adds flat stats on top. The gear page lists the slots, and the upgrade guide shows what each step costs. Because Lucius is a stand-in, keep his build short and put the surplus into the Tank who replaces him.
How to Get Lucius
Lucius needs no waiting, because his unlock day is 0. Ten Lucius Shards unlock him. Tavern pulls and event prizes are the sources, and SSR Omni Shards can replace missing ones. For tickets and pull rates, read the heroes list. Every star after the unlock costs more shards, which is one more reason to stop early on a stand-in.
Best Team for Lucius
Lucius stands in the front row. The squads below use him as the Tank in an early game or as a second Tank in a Warrior line.
| Squad | Heroes | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| All Warriors, no UR | Kesso, Lucius, Sivir, Bella, Claire | Five Warriors and the full faction bonus without a UR hero |
| Early Tank slot | Lucius, Celia, Sivir, Bella, Hastar | Free heroes while shards are scarce |
| Second Tank | Arthur, Lucius, Marlena, Harper, Daskal | Warrior squads with UR core heroes |
Lucius also appears in the list of temporary replacements, together with Sivir, Harper and Bestar, until you pull the hero you want in that slot. Check the best team page for squads in each mode, and the tier list for the rating of every partner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lucius or Bella better?
Bella is better on most lists. Among the 5 lists that rank both heroes, she comes out higher in 4, and she averages A+ against B+ for Lucius. Lucius has 4,739 more power and a stun on his top skill. Use Lucius as a starter Tank and move him to the second Tank slot once Bella or Arthur is ready.
Is Lucius worth building?
Lucius is worth using, but not worth a heavy investment. Individual lists score him anywhere from B to A, and B+ is the grade that 2 of the 5 lists agree on. Rankings call him a decent early Tank that lacks shields or team buffs, so spend common upgrades on him and keep rare materials for the heroes you will keep.
Which Lucius skill should I level first?
Level Decapitation first, then Whirlwind Cut, then God of War Blessing. Decapitation recharges every 5 seconds and reaches 1,874.4% ATK. Whirlwind Cut hits harder but waits 7 seconds. The auto attack Battle Axe comes last, and the support skill Tenacity is free of badge costs.
How do I get Lucius?
Lucius joins from day one, since 10 Lucius Shards unlock him. The shards are a tavern and event reward, and SSR Omni Shards fill any gap. No server day gates him, so he is one of the first Tanks a new account can field next to the free heroes.
Does Lucius cut damage from players?
No, not by the skill text. God of War Blessing lowers the damage Lucius takes from monsters by up to 24%, and that is the only damage cut in his kit. Against other players he relies on his HP, DEF and the stun on Whirlwind Cut. That cut does not apply in a fight against another player.
