Legendary Julia

Preferred IV: +ATK / -DEF

• +ATK is Julia’s best Asset, as it improves her damage output considerably and allows her to benefit from Virtuous Naga against stronger opponents. -DEF is the preferred Flaw, as Julia will naturally avoid picking fights with physical heroes who can land a hit against her.

Weapon: Virtuous Naga

• The Virtuous Naga turns Julia into a fearsome offensive unit, offering up to 9 points of bonus Attack and an additional 6 Resistance. This is coupled with her key feature: effective damage versus dragons allows her to defeat even the strongest of dragon heroes, making her a valuable counter to some of the more prominent heroes in the game.

Assist: Draw Back / Flexible

• Draw Back is easily accessible and allows Julia to reposition herself and her teammates, but this Assist skill is flexible depending on the needs of Julia’s team.

Special: Draconic Aura / Dragon Fang / Iceberg / Glimmer

• Draconic Aura offers a great damage bonus based on Julia’s Attack stat on a serviceable 3-turn cooldown. This is Julia’s most flexible Special, striking a nice balance between damage and charge time. Julia can expect to deal upwards of 20+ bonus damage thanks to her fantastic Attack, allowing her to punch through bulky opponents.

• Dragon Fang is available in Julia’s base kit, and deals exceptional bonus damage thanks to her impressive Attack. However, the long cooldown makes it difficult to utilise this skill repeatedly during the same battle. Nevertheless, this Special ensures that Julia will KO almost any opponent.

• Alternatively, Iceberg is a worthy consideration for those who can negate Julia’s Resistance Flaw and use other Resistance boosting skills like Mirror Impact and Atk/Res Oath. 

• Glimmer is valuable if Julia opts for Special Spiral, as this is the best 2-turn Special that Julia can immediately charge with this B skill.

Passive A: Fury / Mirror Impact

• Virtuous Naga’s Attack requirement is calculated using visible stats, meaning Mirror Impact’s bonus 6 Attack is not considered. Fury 4 therefore offers a fantastic alternative, boosting all of Julia’s combat stats and providing a boost to Virtuous Naga’s Attack requirement. 

Passive B: Light and Dark / Null C-Disrupt / Special Spiral

• Light and Dark is Julia’s unique B skill, which offers a range of bonuses including a -2 debuff to all of her opponent’s combat stats, nullification of all enemy stat bonuses and the nullification of adaptive damage that targets Julia’s Defense instead of her Resistance. This skill alongside Virtuous Naga makes her a formidable answer to enemy dragons, and improves her general combat ability through debuffing enemy opponents.

• Null C-Disrupt allows Julia to fight heroes who would otherwise nullify her counterattack, such as Dazzling Staff users. This is a much more specific use compared to the advantages of Light and Dark however.

• For a more offensive approach similar to heroes like Ophelia and Lilina, Julia can perform well as a hyper-offensive mage thanks to her immense Attack stat. Special Spiral allows her to charge Glimmer immediately, allowing her to deal impressive bonus damage 

Passive C: Atk/Res Oath

• Atk/Res Oath is accessible in Julia’s base kit, and offers an easy to acquire bonus to two of her more important stats. Though an Attack Wave skill would offer slightly more Attack, the reliability of Oath and the extra Resistance makes it the superior choice.

Sacred Seal: Brazen Atk/Spd / Darting Blow / Brazen Atk/Res

• Brazen Atk/Spd complements Fury incredibly well, and allows Julia to take on an impressive offensive role. Alongside Light and Dark Julia’s effective Speed sits at 35, with a -2 Speed debuff to her opponent. This allows her to avoid many more follow-up attacks while dealing her own follow-up attacks against slow opponents around the 30 Speed benchmark.

• Darting Blow is another Speed-boosting option that has no HP threshold to worry about. However, this trade off results in less Speed and no Attack at all, making it difficult to recommend over Brazen Atk/Spd.

• If Speed is not a concern, Brazen Atk/Res boosts Julia’s two key stats and can be easy to utilise thanks to Fury.

Preferred IV: +ATK / -DEF

• +ATK is Julia’s best Asset, as it improves her damage output considerably and allows her to benefit from Virtuous Naga against stronger opponents. -DEF is the preferred Flaw, as Julia will naturally avoid picking fights with physical heroes who can land a hit against her.

Weapon: Virtuous Naga

• The Virtuous Naga turns Julia into a fearsome offensive unit, offering up to 9 points of bonus Attack and an additional 6 Resistance. This is coupled with her key feature: effective damage versus dragons allows her to defeat even the strongest of dragon heroes, making her a valuable counter to some of the more prominent heroes in the game.

Assist: Draw Back / Flexible

• Draw Back is easily accessible and allows Julia to reposition herself and her teammates, but this Assist skill is flexible depending on the needs of Julia’s team.

Special: Draconic Aura / Dragon Fang / Iceberg

• Draconic Aura offers a great damage bonus based on Julia’s Attack stat on a serviceable 3-turn cooldown. This is Julia’s most flexible Special, striking a nice balance between damage and charge time. Julia can expect to deal upwards of 20+ bonus damage thanks to her fantastic Attack, allowing her to punch through bulky opponents.

• Dragon Fang is available in Julia’s base kit, and deals exceptional bonus damage thanks to her impressive Attack. However, the long cooldown makes it difficult to utilise this skill repeatedly during the same battle. Nevertheless, this Special ensures that Julia will KO almost any opponent.

• Alternatively, Iceberg is a worthy consideration for those who can negate Julia’s Resistance Flaw and use other Resistance boosting skills like Mirror Impact and Atk/Res Oath. Glimmer is more appealing with additional Resistance boosting skills like Atk/Res Bond which can be taken in the Seal slot.

Passive A: Close Counter

• Close Counter allows Julia to defeat enemy dragon heroes on Enemy Phase, greatly improving her versatility. Without Close Counter, Julia is restricted to defeating these heroes on Player Phase. 

Passive B: Light and Dark / Null C-Disrupt / Renewal

• Though Light and Dark is less important as dragon heroes who attack Julia in melee do not have adaptive damage, this skill is still valuable in debuffing enemy heroes and nullifying their bonuses.

• Null C-Disrupt allows Julia to fight heroes who would otherwise nullify her counterattack, such as Dazzling Staff users. This is a much more specific use compared to the advantages of Light and Dark however.

• Renewal can be a useful defensive choice for keeping Julia healthy, and synergises well with her preferred Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte.

Passive C: Atk/Res Oath

• Atk/Res Oath is accessible in Julia’s base kit, and offers an easy to acquire bonus to two of her more important stats. Though an Attack Wave skill would offer slightly more Attack, the reliability of Oath and the extra Resistance makes it the superior choice.

Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte / Atk/Res Bond / Atk/Spd Bond

• Quick Riposte allows Julia to deal a follow-up attack when defending, greatly improving her KO potential on Enemy Phase. This allows her to take down any dragons that survive her first attack, as well as other heroes who cannot defeat her before her second attack.

• Atk/Res Bond synergises nicely with Atk/Res Oath and offers a nice bonus to two major stats. Alternatively, Atk/Spd Bond is a great choice that can improve Julia’s middling Speed stat, though this is less of a concern with Quick Riposte.
