In this post, I’ll explain in detail the hero Julia, how to get her, how to upgrade her skills and talent tree, and how to combine her with other heroes.
How to get Julia?
Similar to other heroes, you need to acquire 10 fragments. Julia is a roulette hero, which means you can acquire her solely by playing the Lucky Roulette (and winning 10 fragments) during the Ranged Top Commander event. You can also buy daily boost packs once Julia is available at the daily boost section in the mall to obtain her 10 fragments.
Talent trees
Julia’s main ability is Ranged Squad which means she is best used to lead ranged troops. It doesn’t mean you have to max out her ranged squad talent tree. Her two secondary abilities are General and Skills. There’s two possible builds for Julia.
On the field: For maximum damage, I recommend fully upgrading her skill talent tree first and then investing some points in her Ranged Squad tree. Essentially, her talent trees would look like this:
For siege: You need to max out the branch for siege in the general talent tree, then max out the skill talent tree and finally use the remaining of your points in the ranged squad tree. You can potentially also use some additional point in the general tree to get more traveling speed.
Skills
- Stunning Magic: Deals damage to one target with a damage factor of up to 12,500 and restore up to 100 rage.
- Escape Preparation: Increases the ATK and DEF by up to 20% each.
- Mind Reading: Reduces the damage taken from basic attacks by up to 20% and increase the skill damage dealt by up to 17%.
- Impenetrable: Increases Ranged squad HP by up to 40%. There’s also a 60% chance of being immune to taking increased damage.
- Miracle of the century: This is a skill enhancement of the first skill and increases the damage factor from 12,500 to 13,750, silence the enemy for 3 seconds and restores 120 rage.
How to upgrade her skills?
For every fighting hero, you need to upgrade the 1st skill, the raging skill, first. I would upgrade the 4th skill next, followed by the 2nd, and finally the 3rd. The suggested order would be 1, 4, 2, 3. Julia’s squad will be most likely the first squad targeted on the field, so you’d better increase the 40% HP skill to have a stronger squad. HP is also the 2nd best stats to increase on ranged troops. To further increase the survivability of the squad I’ll upgrade the 2nd skill with the 20% DEF but also 20% ATK to increase your damage, and finally the 3rd skill last.
How to combine Julia?
Julia has the skill talent tree which makes her a great squad leader. She is a ranged squad hero and therefore it’s better to pair her with another ranged squad hero such as Louis, Chun, Jacob or Nakano.
The best options to pair Julia with on the battlefield are as follows:
- Julia/Louis: Perfect to make a maximum of damage with the skills and great rage regeneration.
- Julia/Jacob: Great damage dealer on multiple squads.
- Chun/Julia: Great damage on single target.
- Julia/Lynne: Great squad for more survivability.
- Nakano/Julia: if you don’t have many legendary heroes upgraded and you got a lot of Nakano fragments with the advanced search.
- Julia/Akemi or Julia/Seo if you have no other options
The best options for siege are:
- Julia/Bard: This is the most powerful siege squad on the game.
- Julia/Louis if you don’t have Bard.
Conclusion
Julia is a must-have hero. She is probably the best hero you can have on the field for your ranged squad. I would definitely recommend using your legendary fragments to upgrade her.
