When building Lucius in Last War Survival Game, you have some important choices to make in order to get the biggest bang for your buck as you simply can’t upgrade all heroes at the same time but you need quite a bunch to build your squads.
By fine-tuning the way you upgrade Lucius’s skills and gear, you can save yourself quite some Skill Medals and Universal Shards in the process and as not all skills have the same amount of impact but have the same amount of costs leveling up, fine-tuning them is worth it in the end.
Important! If you want to check how well Lucius does in the current meta of all heroes in Last War Survival Game, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.
Tier A+Here is a quick overview of the rankings of Lucius for the different modes of the game. Please refer to the full tier list linked below to see the ranking of all heroes in Last War Survival Game and full evaluation and priority.
Lucius’s Optimal Skill Upgrade Order
Upgrading skills is possible after you get Lucius to 2-Star and then you will be able to upgrade each skill in 5-level increments. White the first skills are rather easy and cheap, it will start to eat quite a bit into your Skill Medals and as you can’t produce them, you might end up with half-built heroes. So, here is the order you should work on the skills for Lucius so you only spend the Skill Medals where they actually provide good value:
Skill 1
Skill 2
Expertise

Lucius’s Optimal Gear Setup(s)
Now we have to take a look at the gear setup, as it takes a lot of time and resources to craft higher rarity gear and not all gear is as impactful as the other one and you have to gear a couple of heroes in Last War Survival Game. Also upgrading gear gets very expensive and you simply can’t just pump all your Upgrade Ore randomly on gear.
Minimum Build
This is the build you really should have to use this hero decently considering when you get access to it and where your account is at this point
The levels for each gear item here is:
- M4-A Destroyer Cannon: Level 30
- M3 Armor: Level 20
- M4-A Jackal Data Chip: Level 30
- M3 Radar: Level 20
- Lucius Exclusive Weapon: Level 1
Sweetspot Build
We know the best build is the one that is maxed out but unless you spend a ton of money on the game this is not realistically. This build here uses the best value of all the gear and the required goals you should have with this hero in the meta to be viable while trying to limit your investment as much as possible
- Level 🔒
- Level 🔒
- Level 🔒

Optimum Build
This is the optimum build looking at the diminishing returns of your invest where it makes sense to take this hero in terms of gear. Max is great, I know, but realistically everything beyond this is just very expensive and wasteful in terms of resources at this point
The levels for each gear item here is:
- M6-A Puma Cannon: Level 40
- M5-A Guard Reactive Armor: Level 40
- M6-A Athenas Crown Data Chip: Level 40
- M5-A Predator Radar: Level 40
- Lucius Exclusive Weapon: Level 30
Lucius’s Exclusive Weapon
When we take a look at his Exclusive Weapon, which becomes available in Season 4 – Evernight Isle, there is not much strategy as you will linear unlock the Exclusive Weapon skill at Level 1, Level 10, Level 20 and Level 30. In the beginning there is not too much about it but the stats are nice. Laos honestly each skill at the 10-level increments aren’t by themselves super op or broken but adding them altogether to the picture they will make Lucius so incredibly strong. So yes, an investment that is worth it for sure.
Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you to build your Lucius without just pumping your manuals into the skills. I assure you this will make your progress in WHiteout Survival a lot faster and get the biggest bang for your buck in terms of making the skills rock that really make a big impact espcially as costs get higher and higher.
