Fallen Julia Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (28)		★★★★★

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/-Spd

The best IVs for Fallen Julia are +Atk and -Spd. A higher Atk stat allows her to add to her already high damage output. Her Spd is not super important to her as she can already gurantee follow-up attacks through Dark Scripture, so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Fallen Julia to 10. With a +Atk IV, Julia can fully utilize the guranteed follow-up Atk that Dark Scripture grants her. This will allow her to potentially take many units out in one single hit.

Fallen Julia Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Fallen Julia's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Dark Scripture	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Grants Atk+3. At start of player phase or enemy phase, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res < unit's Res+5, inflicts Atk/Res-7,【Sabotage】, 【Deep Wounds】, and a penalty that neutralizes non-Special "if foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP" effects on those foes through their next actions. If foe initiates combat or if unit is not adjacent to an ally, inflicts Atk/Res-6 and Spd-4 on foe and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-4 on foe, foe cannot make a follow-up attack, and unit deals damage = 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, if unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Dark Scripture

Refined Dark Scripture grants Fallen Julia a handful of new effects, including a unique Ploy effect that inflicts Atk/Res-7,【Sabotage】, 【Deep Wounds】, and a Null Miracle effect onto her foes, and a built-in Dragon Wall effect to improve her bulk at the same time.

This refine is significantly better than any other option available to Fallen Julia and is worth refining if you have an invested Fallen Julia on your barracks.

Fallen Julia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Fallen Julia Roles

Julia - Heart Usurped 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

Fallen 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.

Fallen Julia Strengths

Refined Dark Scripture applies multiple debuffs and improves bulk

Fallen Julia's refined Dark Scripture has a handful of effects that impact her performance both in and out of combat.

Below is a list of all of its effects:

• Grants Atk+3 and a guaranteed follow-up to Julia
• A unique Ploy effect which inflicts Atk/Res-7,【Sabotage】, 【Deep Wounds】, and Null Miracle onto multiple foes upon winning a modified Res check
• Inflicts Atk/Res-10 and Spd-8 onto Julia's foe during combat
• Denies Julia's foe's follow-up attacks
• Grants Julia bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Res stat
• Grants Julia a Dragon Wall effect

Light and Dark is a Strong Debuff

Light and Dark neutralizes foe's bonuses from skills like Fortify, Rally etc and inflicts -2 to all stats. This synergizes well with Panic Smoke 3 because it converts foe's bonuses into penalties. This makes Fallen Julia a formidable debuffer.

Additionally, the skill also neutralizes effects that calculate damage using the lower defense stat of a unit whether it be Def or Res, allowing her to make use of her amazing Res stat to tank hits from dragons.

Fallen Julia Weaknesses

Low Def

Fallen Julia has a low Def stat, if she gets attacked by a strong physical attacker, there is a high chance that she will be taken out. Be mindful of Julia's positioning in relation to units that pose a threat to her. Pay extra attention to units that possess weapon like Brave Axe+ as they can guarantee follow-up attacks regardless of Spd, and they are sure to finish her off.

Fallen Julia Team and Counters

Teammates for Fallen Julia

Mirabilis	Brave Hector	Peony	Brave Ike
Reyson	Brave Edelgard	Triandra	Leanne

Refresher-assist units that can boost Fallen Julia's offensive output

The Álfr, Peony, Triandra, Plumeria, Mirabilis, are examples of refresher-assist units that greatly boosts Fallen Julia's damage output. They also possess flying movement, which ensures they are always in range of Julia as they can take shortcuts. It is always a good idea to pair Julia with them especially in Aether Raids whether it would be on defense or offense.

Reyson or Leanne

Reyson and Leanne provide both heals and refreshes to Julia so she can brawl it out in the frontlines for much longer. When transformed, they can keep up, or even lead Julia's movement.

Physical powerhouses, preferably those who are strong against blue units

Since Fallen Julia is a magic unit, she would need some allies to cover units that are strong in absorbing magic damage. Some great ideas are Brave Edelgard,, Brave Ike, or Surtr.

Reyson can be a good choice too if you choose to run Triangle Adept 3 for the sole purpose of covering Lilina's weakness against blue units.

For blue choices, Brave Hector sets the bar pretty high up for the the best pick.

Fallen Julia Counters

Cordelia	Brave Hector	Legendary Chrom	Brave Dimitri
Legendary Dimitri	Brave Edelgard	Brave Claude	Legendary Claude

High-powered blue brawlers

Def is Julia's weaker stat so blue physical units can easily exploit her. Her Spd is quite bad too. Even slower blues can nail follow-up attacks on her so watch out!

Brave Edelgard

Despite being a green unit, Brave Edelgard is strong enough to take on Fallen Julia. She is very common unit in competitive game modes, and her kit focuses on countering tome users like Julia. Watch out for her.
