FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Lucy Guide: Best Builds and Teams for Lucy and Lucy (Leo Form)​

FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Artwork 2

Lucy is one of the most flexible units in FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle, with base Lucy Heartfilia acting as a strong healer/support and Lucy [Leo Form] sitting in SS tier as one of the best DPS buffers in the game. Building both correctly lets you cover sustain and damage in almost any team.

Lucy vs Lucy (Leo Form) overview

Tier lists and official descriptions paint two very different but complementary roles for Lucy’s forms.

FormTier / roleKey strengths
Lucy Heartfilia (base UR / SR variants)A‑tier support / healerHeals the whole team periodically based on her ATK and provides general sustain, making her a solid support option, especially early on.
Lucy [Leo Form] (UR)SS–S+ DPS / team bufferHighest normal‑attack DPS in the game, boosts Attack Power and Crit Rate of all allies while on the field, and has one of the strongest AoE ultimates with Darkness crowd‑control.​​

A detailed tier list explicitly states that Lucy [Leo Form] has “the highest normal attack DPS in the game,” increases allies’ Attack and Crit while she is on the field, and has an ultimate that is “one of the strongest AoE attacks” while inflicting Darkness for 5 seconds. Multiple video tier lists place Leo Lucy at the very top, calling her a “melee powerhouse” that “redefines damage per second.”​​

Best builds for Lucy (Leo Form)

Leo Lucy is a front‑line or mid‑line melee DPS/buffer who wants pure damage stats with enough bulk not to fall over.​

Stat priorities

PriorityFocusReason
1ATK, Crit Rate, Crit DamageMaximises her top‑tier normal‑attack DPS and ult damage.​​
2Skill/ultimate damageFurther amplifies her AoE ult, which also inflicts Darkness.​​
3HP/DEF as secondaryKeeps her alive while she stands on the field to provide team buffs.​​

A holiday‑unit overview video shows that while some newer units get “top” level buffs, Lucy Leo’s buffs are at the “mid” tier but still strong, and combined with her DPS, that remains extremely valuable for most teams. Her official description from the pickup gacha promotion emphasises that “with Leo’s blessing, she shines bright and strikes down her foes,” reinforcing her damage‑first identity.​​

Gear guidelines for Leo Lucy

SlotRecommended focusNotes
WeaponHigh ATK, Crit Rate/Crit DamageAny UR weapon with strong offensive stats is ideal.
ArmourATK with some HP/DEFSlight bulk so she can stay on field to keep buffs up.
AccessoriesCrit, skill/ultimate damagePushes her into true S+ carry territory.

Use the power arrow to equip upgrades and prioritise offensive pieces on Leo Lucy, as tier and DPS guides consistently treat her as a long‑term main carry.​

Best builds for base Lucy Heartfilia

Base Lucy acts more like a healer/support, with some resources noting that she heals all allies every 10 seconds based on her ATK at higher potential levels. That makes her more ATK‑scaling than a pure tank.

Stat and gear focus for base Lucy

PriorityFocusReason
1ATKIncreases heal amount since her heals scale off ATK.
2HP/DEFKeeps your healer alive on the backline.
3Some Crit / skill effectivenessMinor, but can help with any damage or secondary effects.
SlotRecommended focus
WeaponATK‑heavy staff/book/whip that raises power.
ArmourHP/DEF‑leaning with some ATK subs.
AccessoriesATK and survivability, rather than pure crit.

Base Lucy is generally rated below Wendy and top niche supports, but still performs well in teams that lack premium healers and can be a nice F2P fallback.

Best teams for Lucy & Lucy (Leo Form)

Leo Lucy slots into almost every meta team as either the primary or secondary carry, while base Lucy is a backline healer/utility pick.

Best‑team breakdowns and player reports repeatedly show Leo Lucy appearing in top teams alongside Natsu DF, Gray DS, Erza HW, Wendy and Makarov, especially in Arena and high‑end PvE.​​

Teams for base Lucy

Base Lucy is best used:

  • As a backline healer when you do not own Wendy or want double sustain in difficult content.
  • In F2P or early‑game teams where her periodic heals add valuable survivability for fragile DPS units.

Place her in the back row, pair her with at least one strong tank (Erza HW/Makarov) and a main DPS like Natsu DF, Gray DS, or Leo Lucy, and let her quietly keep the team topped up while others deal damage.
