After casting two different skills, Julian enhances his third skill. Casting the enhanced skill makes all his skills go on a 9-6s Cooldown (decreases with his level).

Casting another skill extends the duration. Julian gains 15% extra Hybrid Lifesteal for 5s each time he hits an enemy hero with his skills (up to 3 stacks).
Julian hurls a flying scythe in the target direction, dealing 420 (+140% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies along the way and slowing them by 30% for 1s. The scythe disappears upon hitting a non-minion enemy.
Julian summons a flying sword and dashes in the target direction, dealing 400 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies along the way.
Julian casts chains at the target location, dealing 300 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies hit after a short delay and immobilizing them for 1.2s.

Community-ranked Julian builds, sorted by popularity. Each build was uploaded by a real player and is refreshed every 6 hours.
Feather of Heaven
Tough Boots
Concentrated Energy
Windtalker
Brute Force Breastplate
Queen's Wings
Julians build should always consists of FEATHER OF HEAVEN and CONCENTRATED ENERGY as these items are his main source of spellvamp and attack speed, after getting this two items it is important for you to get WINDTALKER as it synchronizes with the emblems perfectly, the kast 2 slots should be sustain items as going full damage could let hin be bursted down too fast.
Vengeance · Reflect Damage
Swift
Festival of Blood
War Cry
Picking the marksmen emblem is great with providing additional lifesteal and attack speed for the talents pick SWIFT in the first slot for additional attack speed Festival of blood for the second slot for more spellvamp And for the third slot Pick war cry, War cry fits perfectly in with Julians passive.
Julians Build (Magic build+Attack speed+ sustain). Julians build should always consists of FEATHER OF HEAVEN and CONCENTRATED ENERGY as these items are his main source of spellvamp and attack speed, after getting this two items it is important for you to get WINDTALKER as it synchronizes with the emblems perfectly, the kast 2 slots should be sustain items as going full damage could let hin be bursted down too fast.
Marksman emblem with lifesteal and basic attacks. Picking the marksmen emblem is great with providing additional lifesteal and attack speed for the talents pick SWIFT in the first slot for additional attack speed Festival of blood for the second slot for more spellvamp And for the third slot Pick war cry, War cry fits perfectly in with Julians passive.
Battle Spell. Julian being locked down is very dangerous especially with multiple enemy heroes, to survive this he either needs to escape the lockdown or survive it which is why Flicker or vengeance are the best options you can also pick purify but picking it so may lower your damage or mobility by picking it instead of flicker or vengeance tho it gives you the ability to escape lockdowns and do a great comeback by using your enhanced second skill, For damage inspire is always the best but makes you very vulnurable to burst without any tank build or sustain build.
Tough Boots - Dire Hit
Windtalker
Feather of Heaven
Concentrated Energy
Divine Glaive
Holy Crystal
For high bursting and fast farm and more likely overkill for marksman in basic attack in late game due to high damage skill with immune or crowd control but you could change build depends on the hero of enemy and gameplay
Tough Boots - Dire Hit
Windtalker
Feather of Heaven
Concentrated Energy
Rose Gold Meteor
Queen's Wings
It's op for sustaining damage if enemy have less crowd control and anti lifesteal because not many all buy it like they didn't know anti heal exist so it's good for that enemy but this build are kinda risky due to lack of skill damage and weak for burst enemy
Tough Boots - Dire Hit
Clock of Destiny
Feather of Heaven
Concentrated Energy
Oracle
Brute Force Breastplate
Good for sustaining if your team have damage roam like helcurt saber kadita etc but it's kinda useless for bursting enemy and 1v1ing enemy dues to lack of damage only sustain and medium damage but it's still op for teamfight
Retribution · Jungle Special
Rupture
Seasoned Hunter
War Cry
You can also use fighter emblem or assassin emblem but this is I recommend because of the +penetration and cool down reduction and partner it with rupture and seasoned hunter for fast farming and war cry for instant burst and high damage for 6 seconds
For player who want to play jullian
My usual build. For high bursting and fast farm and more likely overkill for marksman in basic attack in late game due to high damage skill with immune or crowd control but you could change build depends on the hero of enemy and gameplay
High lifesteal. It's op for sustaining damage if enemy have less crowd control and anti lifesteal because not many all buy it like they didn't know anti heal exist so it's good for that enemy but this build are kinda risky due to lack of skill damage and weak for burst enemy
Sustain like a tank. Good for sustaining if your team have damage roam like helcurt saber kadita etc but it's kinda useless for bursting enemy and 1v1ing enemy dues to lack of damage only sustain and medium damage but it's still op for teamfight
Mage. You can also use fighter emblem or assassin emblem but this is I recommend because of the +penetration and cool down reduction and partner it with rupture and seasoned hunter for fast farming and war cry for instant burst and high damage for 6 seconds
Battle Spell. It's for the jungler to farm easily and could easily secure objectives due to high burst damage

for sustain
Use Vengeance when facing high burst or multiple enemies. It is best for fighters, tanks, and heroes who stay in close combat, as it reduces damage taken and reflects damage back during teamfights.
atk spd. for atk speed and burst/sustain
atksp/fighter. for sustain
Battle Spell. For a short duration, the hero takes reduced damage and reflects a portion of the damage received back to nearby enemies as magic damage.

The build will vary slightly depending on the situation, but it's roughly the same. After buying the boots, buy a knife. It's still too early for GW, so first, buy a Genius Wand. If all goes well, buy a Crystal, but if not, use Queen's Wings instead. The third is Concentrated Energy for Vampirism. Now, upgrade the knife to GW if there are few tanks, or to a Feather if there are many tanks, and 5 items always have penetration. Instead of a Genius Wand, buy Immortality or a Crown. билд будет немного меняться в зависимости от ситуации но примерно такой. после покупка ботинка покупайте нож, еще рано для гсв поэтому сначала покупаем палку гения. если все хорошо то покупаем кристал но если не очень вместо кристала крылья королевы. третий концентрированая энергия для вампиризма, только сейчас мы улучшаем нож до гсв если мало танков или до перо если много танков и 5 предметов всегда пробитие. вместо палочки гения покупаем бессмертие или корону

Battle Spell. I take Smite for quick forest clearing. The most important thing is not to save it. As soon as you cast 2, 3, or 1, immediately give it away. Most importantly, don't use Smite 1-3-2 on an objective; there's a 78% chance you'll lose the objective because of it, since Smite damage only occurs when the enhanced 2nd skill finishes.(смайт беру для быстрой зачистки леса. самое важное не экономить его. как только вы делаете прокаст 2,3,1 сразу отдавайте смайт. самое важное не используйте прокасть 1-3-2 смайт на объекте, 78% шанс что вы из-за этого потеряли объект, так как урон смайта будет только когда усиленный 2 навык будет завершаться)
