Legendary Julia Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★★
Spd (6)		★★☆☆☆
Def (4)		★★☆☆☆
Res (10)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units

Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Atk/-Def

Legendary Julia's recommended IVs are +Atk and -Def. With her superbane in Atk, an asset in this stat will give her Atk+4, and make the effect of her exclusive weapon easier to trigger. Her Def is already quite low, so it is ideal for a dump stat.

Legendary Julia Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Legendary Julia's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Virtuous Naga	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Effective against dragon foes. Grants Atk+3. At start of combat, if unit's Atk > foe's Atk or foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Res+6 to unit during combat, and also, if unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials by percentage = difference between stats x 4 (max 40%). If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and also, if in combat against a dragon foe, unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Virtuous Naga

Refined Virtuous Naga grants stat bonuses during combat, Dragon Wall 3, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and Close Counter against dragons.

These effects are better than any other option Legendary Julia has for her weapon, and should always be used.

Legendary Julia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Julia Roles

Julia - Crusader of Light Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

L!Julia is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Legendary Effect Raises Your Arena Score

Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4	Pair Up

Pair Up and Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4

As a Legendary Hero, Julia will gain the Earth Blessing when summoned. Additionally, being an Earth type Legendary Hero means that during Earth Seasons, other allies with an Earth Blessing will receive HP+3, and Julia's total stats will be treated as 175. This will lead to a higher Arena Score.

Legendary Julia's Strengths

Extremely powerful against dragons

Julia's exclusive weapon, Virtuous Naga, is effective against dragon foes, making it easy for her to deal heavy damage to powerful manaketes such as Idunn and Fallen Tiki. Additionally, her exclusive skill, Light and Dark, negates the effects of skills that calculate damage using the lower of foes Def or Res, allowing her to minimize the amount of damage taken from dragon foes.

Gains huge buffs to her Atk and Res stats

Julia has the powerful A skill Mirror Impact, which will grant her Atk+6 and Res+10 when she initiates combat. This skill, combined with the effects of her exclusive weapon and C slot skill bring the total buffs gained in these stats to Atk+17 and Res+21, allowing her to deal massive damage to foes while being able to tank damage from magic attackers.

Can nullify all enemy buffs while inflicting penalties on all of their stats

L!Julia's exclusive B skill Light and Dark will neutralize a foe's buffs and simultaneously inflict -2 to all of their stats. This will severely decrease the stats of a foe with active bonuses, but be aware that the effects of skills like Spur/Drive will not be nullified, as they are only active during combat.

Legendary Julia's Weaknesses

Low Def and subpar Spd leave her vulnerable to physical attacks

Legendary Julia is lacking in her Def and Spd stats, meaning that physical attackers will deal heavy damage to her, especially if they can receive a follow-up attack. Be sure to keep her out of the range of foes who deal physical damage.

Legendary Julia Team and Counters

Teammates for Legendary Julia

Ayra	Legendary Eliwood	Mirabilis	Legendary Azura
Peony	Brave Dimitri	New Year Peony	Eir

Flexible Unit That Can Fit in Any Team

Legendary Julia can fit in a wide variety of teams as she can mostly take care of herself.

Shee can be paired with those that can boost her firepower even more, like Legendary Eliwood's Bonus Doubler effect on his Ardent Durandal or any of the dancers above.

Legendary Julia Counters

Brave Hector	Brave Ike	Legendary Celica	Legendary Edelgard
Brave Edelgard	Shamir	Ninja Hana	Ninja Lyn

Despite being an extremely powerful unit, Legendary Julia does face difficulty against these certain units.

Tanky Green Units

She will struggle against tanky green units like Brave Ike or either Brave or Legendary Edelgard as she is already at a weapon triangle-disadvantage against them.

Do note, however, that their effectiveness will vary from how you build them, if they're merged up, as well as how invested the opponent's Legendary Dimitri is.

Fast Units

Legendary Julia may be extremely powerful, but she's also slow and has poor Def.

Any fast unit that can initiate on her can potentially one-shot her, made easier if they have brave weapon effects like Ninja Lyn's Tailwind Shuriken.

Legendary Julia as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Mirror Impact or Atk/Res Oath 3

Mirror Impact and Atk/Res Oath 3 can be inherited from Legendary Julia. However, as an extremely powerful anti-dragon unit, it would be a waste not to raise and build at least one of this unit.
