What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Strong against cavalry units ・Can counterattack physical melee units ・Neutralizes foe's skills that change attack priority |
Might: 12 Range: 2 Effective against cavalry foes. Disables unit's and foe's skills that change attack priority. Effect:【Dagger 7】 【Dagger 7】 After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts Def/Res-7 on target and foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions. |
Cooldown Count = 2 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 30% during combat. |
If sword, lance, axe, bow, dagger, or beast foe initiates combat, grants Atk/Def+5 to unit during combat and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. |
Inflicts Atk/Spd-3 on foe and neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk/Spd (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat. |
Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
---|---|---|
HP (18) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Atk (20) | ★★★★☆ | |
Spd (10) | ★★★★★ | |
Def (7) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Res (5) | ★★☆☆☆ |
◯ = 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.
The best IVs for Julian are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Julian to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. With his low defensive stats, no bane would be best, but a -Res IV would be great for him as it is of less importance. Take note that his Res is a superbane.
We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Julian to 10. It is best to aim for follow-up attacks to increase his offensive ability as his Atk combined with his Def and Spd debuffs is already high. If you prefer relying on other allies' skills to increase Julian's Spd, you can go for a +Atk IV instead.

A more expensive build for Julian. Barb Shuriken+ combined with Moonbow allows him to rapidly activate Special attacks. His Spd is not the best, but thanks to Lull Atk/Spd 3 and Rouse Spd/Def 3, he can score follow-ups on a good range of units. With this build, he will also be quite survivable especially with merges. This is thanks to the choice of Sturdy Stance, his A,B, and C skills that either bulk him up or lower the foe's damage input.

A simple budget build for Julian. Atk Smoke 3 is an inexpensive skill that works well with his overall function as a dagger unit. Quick Riposte 3 is taken because his Spd is quite average. It helps him score follow-up attacks with the native Close Foil.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Julian is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.
Julian's weapon is strong against cavalry units. Use this to your advantage!
Caltrop Dagger+ also negates skill effectst that change attack priority such as Vantage 3 and Desperation 3. This is useful against units like Kronya whose builds commonly contain of of these two skills. Be warned that it also negates Julian's skills so remember not to equip affected skills as they will be useless when using Caltrop Dagger+.
The A skill Close Foil allows Julian to counterattack all physical attacks regardless of distance. This means Julian can counterattack even close ranged fighters whom he would normally be defenseless against.
Another perk of Close Foil is that it gives a Atk/Def +5 to Julian whenever physical enemies initiate combat.
Julian has the B skill Lull Atk/Spd, which will inflict Atk/Spd-3 on a foe in combat, and nullify bonuses to those stats. This will decrease foes' damage and Julian's rate of follow-up attacks, and it has the powerful property of nulliying Atk/Spd buffs.
Julian's Res only sits at 18 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Julian's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.

Julian can be used to inherit the skill Close Foil. However, Julian is a pretty powerful unit. It is best that you do not fodder him off, and we recommend that you build around him instead.
Julian is a Hero who can be pulled from any summon.
Note: Not currently a featured hero in any Summon events.
