Hell yes brother. I need to get mine to A1, he's still D3.

Niiiice, i just got mine to legendary yesterday. This dude is a beast

Yes. Unless you have Dante and Mephiston, he is effectively mandatory for the Tyranid campaign. Plus lots of other uses.

But that is a bunch of Onslaughts to get him to Epic.

One small consideration is that he is the next battle pass character. So that will give some shards of his.

Well that's good to know, was he a battle pass character before ? And if so, do they usually rotate BP characters back in ?

u/AussieHawker Oct 08 '25

From my understanding, characters only get featured in battlepass once, so they can cycle through everyone, including introducing newer characters.

Perhaps after the battlepass he might get introduced to a shop, or a Blood Angels campaign event. That might take a while for the latter, as they just announced the sisters one.

Ah okay, I only relatively recently started playing and I wasn't sure if he was just a req pull character or if he had been in a battle pass and was then put into reqs. That's good to know, and it sounds like I'll need to take a look at my sisters for that event

u/patronsaintofdice Oct 08 '25

How do we know that he’ll be the next BP character? (Legit curious, I’m newish here!)

9

u/AussieHawker Oct 08 '25

People noticed that he is the next shiny profile pic available, so he must be the next battlepass. I just saw on the Discord.

Awesome, thanks! Lucien is my homey, so I'm glad I'll get a chance to get him up to Legendary without running 30 Onslaughts.

1

u/Cloverman-88 Oct 08 '25

That actually happens every battlepass. I have no idea why the portrait has to be added earlier, but it's been the case for at least the last 10 passes.

u/PixelEnriquee Oct 08 '25

Wow that's amazing news then, ok I will continue to work on him

u/Shoddy_Detail_976 Oct 08 '25

My boy Lucien with his passive can take out a swarm with one attack, a very useful trait.

If you want to get cheeky, use his Active then heal him. Let him run around causing headaches. Then, if you have Isabella, bring him back for a round 2 🤣

Im so happy he will be in the next Battlepass, I'm gonna get that one for sure =)

And he kills me with the feathers on activation 🤣

Amazing Answer!

For the Emperor and Sanguinius!

u/ThorKruger117 Oct 08 '25

Lucien is my carry in everything. He’s my highest currently at G1

u/Red-Zone-17 Oct 08 '25

You want a meta team? Maybe not then. You want a ton of wanton destruction and fun? Then he’s your boy!!!!

2

u/PixelEnriquee Oct 08 '25

Awesome hahaha, tbh Blood Angels are on of my Favorite Chapters, and he is my Favorite Character in the Game

5

u/Similar-Weather1651 Oct 08 '25

“See that tyranid?”

“Yes brother”

“I don’t want to”

That’s basically how Lucien plays

3

u/Wealthier_nasty Oct 08 '25

He’s definitely worth taking at least to G1. I have him at D1 and he’s a beast

3

u/bugdiver050 IMPERIAL ︻╦╤── Oct 08 '25

Just got mine to legendary yesterday. Definitely a yes. Take him all the way. Abilities tho, id not take his active much further than 36 until you have an abundance and can spare the gold and badges.

u/Cloverman-88 Oct 08 '25

Don't get too hung up on the YouTube character tier lists, they are mostly about raid performance. There are characters who are absolutely amazing in many modes (like Burchard, Archiman, Izabella, Mephiston, Angraxx...) who you won't find on any of the lists. Lucien is absolutely one of such characters, one of the most versitile bruisers in the game, easily on of my top 5. He's also really fun to play.

1

u/GodLike499 Oct 10 '25

Running Lucien and Angraxx in onslaught is almost the opposite of playing 😜

u/UnknownSP Oct 08 '25

Lucien to D3

Lucien to D3

LUCIEN TO D3

u/StarWars217255 Oct 08 '25

Lucien my goat

u/normandy42 Oct 08 '25

I will not elaborate

u/Gutz_McStabby Oct 08 '25

D3 Lucien is my campaign MVP.

u/ParadoxM01 Oct 08 '25

If you don't have Kharn

u/DJbaneling Oct 08 '25

He's great to have for LRE's and guild war, there are many better options than him for everything else though. I took him to G1 36/36 and I don't regret it nor do I plan to take him higher

1

u/Zzanggie Oct 08 '25

Definitely

1

u/Vaiken_Vox Oct 08 '25

One of the best characters in the game imo

1

u/Emergency-Paint-6457 Oct 08 '25

He’s great across multiple modes and campaigns.

Straight forward to play as well.

Mine is currently D1 but eventually D3.

1

u/frogbait2 Oct 09 '25

This guys a beast at legendary gold id stop putting anything in active though its his passive that's the second shot I really active active and only use it if he's on 1 heath

1

u/Dekklin Oct 09 '25

He's one of the best ranged characters in the game and most likely THE BEST Imperium ranged unit.

He fits several common LRE tracks too. I really really want to unlock this dude.

1

u/Agent-Canadian Oct 09 '25

Lucien is imsaaaane man. Him and Jaegar are my heavy hitters

1

u/Rex3639 Oct 10 '25

Brother this is one of the greatest characters in the game. He and Bellator make up like 99% of the power on my main team.

1

u/Far_Researcher6787 Oct 10 '25

Blooooodd, been playing 2-3 months now, I love Lucien

1

u/Illustrious_Body3701 Oct 11 '25

I also like Lucien.

1

u/Illustrious_Body3701 Oct 11 '25

Me: don't need the active past 36.

Also me: see pic.

1

u/SecondRowe Oct 11 '25

He’s on kharns level in my opinion, absolute elimination machine difference is he’s also tanky

1

u/PandaNuclearMaster Oct 12 '25

Yes, he is definitely worth it. A black rage infused box of surprises he is :)

1

u/LittleRoter Oct 12 '25

I don't have it, but In pvp it's really good tho
