Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don
¹ “Julian is an Sx25 dual-troop (Footmen & Archers) mitigation and Combo support. Like Olive, his Skill 2 (Battle Master) grants +35% troop counter advantage and -35% counter disadvantage (vs Footmen/Cavalry when leading Footmen, or vs Footmen/Archers when leading Archers). Skill 5 (Battle Ender) halves all damage dealt in round 1 (-50%, decaying by half each round) and from round 3 onward has a 40% chance each round to cut all enemies' physical damage and skill damage by -35%. Skill 8 (Oath of Dominion) triggers every round (100% chance): granting -20% crit damage taken to 2 squads (Footmen) or granting Combo status to Julian and 1 random ally (Archers).”

Deployment Summary: Julian is a Support commander introduced in Sx25 (rated High Tier). Commands Any in the Middle row (with secondary flexibility in the Back row), following an unlock priority of 8th - 6th - 7th.

² Special Mechanics & Formation Advisory
