Lucius

Lucius is one of the ten heroes of Gordian Quest. 
__TOC__
== Overview ==
*Difficulty: Easy/Medium
*Synergies: Critical, Might, Vulnerable
Lucius's main strength is his Openers and Finishers: Attacks that discount other attack cards, and powerful attacks that leverages excess AP (and Offensive Buffs) efficiently.
Lucius also has access to a number of decent Defensive and Utility Buffs.
Since all his attacks are Melee Lucius often can't hit priority targets in the backline. Later this is remedied with Card Masteries and AOE Finishers.
== Notable cards ==
===Generally Good=== 
* Flash Cuts
* Dual Wields
* Efficient Swordplays
* Commanding Aura (if partied and all three are positioned in the same column)
===Draw===
* Quick Draws (2x when Mastered)
* Blade Mirages
* En Gardes
===Situational=== 
* Shrug Off (until getting a Purge Rune)
* Weapon Clash (Enfeeble 1x enemy)
* Perseverance/Stand Your Ground (early game Healing)
* Riposte (block 1x Melee attack)
==Potential Deck Concepts==
===Critical + Might (Int+Str)===
Call To Arms, then for each enemy: Gain Critical from Battle Tempo + Battle Manoeuvres, double Crit + Might with Heroisms, Guillotine for 1 hit kills (Order/ratios depending on number of enemies).
Finish with Blast Wave when AOE damage lines up efficiently.
===Vulnerable (Str+Int)===
Draw/Cycle, Stack Vulnerable with Back Kicks, play Blitz Slashes, then use a Finisher (Heavy Sunder is synergistic but situational).
===Blade Flurry (Dex)===
Draw/Cycle for max attack cards in hand, then Blade Flurry, then play Flash Cuts alongside attack cards (such as Phantom Edge).
===Tank (Str)===
Stack some Guard and/or Defensive buffs (Indomitable Will, Fluid Defense, Riposte), Challenge key enemies, play a Finisher to use AP efficiently, then let Intervention(s) transfer damage from allies to Lucius.
==Potential Party Compositions==
* Zeal is a powerful enabler for First-Turn Combos if Lucius goes first.
* Catherin's Spiritual Strength and Spiritual Precision can give Lucius a lot of Might + Crit. 
* Naran can double and copy Vulnerable with Chorus of Intimidation and Chorus of Empathy, which sets up Lucius' Blitz Slashes.
* Kudo's Dexterity Totem and another Bleed Hero can ramp up Lucius' Dex, which he can capitalize on with Phantom Edge.
* Jendaya and Rocky's Weighted Fist + Lucius On My Command's is a funny meme combo, especially when Naran can pump up their AP and hand sizes first.
