Lord isn't Bad,  my personal ranking (And a lot of people on reddit) for most units is such Anima>Guardian>Lord>Breaker>Oracle with certain exceptions, but remember unit>type!

this is because Anima/Guardian get more HP/Def per level than the others but less rec which are considered the most important stats for some late game content, however lord gains all stats at a normal rate and unlike other types don't gain less in a secondary stat (Usually rec or def which is why oracle and breaker are bad, because they get less def instead of rec)

However if you want decent capture rates I suggest grinding level 1, it cost a lot less energy and the unit is usually a star lower but it's really easy to evolve them, just 50 merit points can buy you the nymph required from the shop and you can get the levels needed by fusing the units you pick up during the quest.
