UBB is pretty low on the list of important aspects in taking account a meta unit. Truth be told, he's really not that stellar. Raids utilize both damage and survivability LS, and both of his are only decent, especially considering it doesn't even proc without reaching a certain threshold, so it can never occur on the first turn. His BB is pretty nice, but not stellar. His SBB is also pretty good, but considering it conflicts with Gazia, who is a mitigator alongside a double damage buffer, some of the highest I might add, it's easy to choose Gazia over Lucius, since the only thing he'll provide is a 40% Ares. There are several units that would be better options like Bestie, Andaria, or Griff. If you're going to only rely on his UBB, then he's already been on the losing end of a battle. Yeah, 4000% is amazing, but that's only if all units have max SBB. I'd much rather take Avant or Zedus's UBB that also provide insane damage buffs for the whole squad for multiple turns, and they both provide far more utility in every aspect in comparison. Hell, Gazia is 3000% but only requires full health to get maximum output. He also provides an insane mitigation buff and shield on top of it.

Lucius is a good unit, a great free unit, but he's not meta in my opinion. There are simply better buffs out there to look out for that would fit better in your squad
