In an ideal situation, yes, a buddy's gauge cost should be low. But low is a relative term, relative to the world. If you have the gauge accel, there's no reason to consider 2 or even 3 the ceiling of "low". 3 gauge in Ancient World is a decent call cost. Similarly, in the Apocalypse Knights, seeing as Gratos is the majority of their gauge usage, 3 gauge isn't bad. And you only get the full 5 soul if he's your actual buddy, seeing as it's on-call, and wouldn't proc with their new shield. Honestly, 3 gauge isn't even that hard to achieve, and with the low gauge usage of the rest of the deck, you can get away with buddying him without penalty.
