ITEM TERSAKIT DAN TERKEBAL. item ini membuatkan darah julian tidak akan habis dengan damage serta serangan kritikal dan attact speed yang tidak akan habis membuatkan hero Julian broken parah

JIKA LAWAN HERO LINCAH TETAPI LEMBUT. item ini akan buatkan kamu tidak dapat dibunuh hero lincah dan sakit seperti ling,helcurt dan hero lainnya...selain itu, item ini juga akan membuatkan damage kamu lebih sakit dan broken parah

Mage. Item ini akan menambahkan damage dan kritikal julian sehingga menyebabkan hero ini menjadi lebih menakutkan dan sangat ditakuti enemy

Battle Spell. Julian menjadi sangat berbahaya apabila menggunakan Inspire kerana spell itu meningkatkan attack speed dan memberi efek lifesteal yang tinggi. Ini sangat sesuai dengan passive Julian yang menguatkan basic attack selepas menggunakan dua skill. Dengan Inspire, Julian bukan sahaja mampu memberi burst damage melalui combo, malah boleh terus menekan musuh menggunakan basic attack yang sangat laju dan sakit. Gaya permainan Julian juga menjadi lebih agresif kerana dia boleh menang duel dengan lebih mudah, terutama ketika early hingga mid game. Inspire membolehkan Julian mengejar musuh, menghancurkan hero lembut dengan cepat dan bertahan lebih lama dalam pertarungan melalui sustain yang tinggi. Tambahan pula, objektif seperti turtle, lord dan turret dapat diambil dengan lebih pantas. Walaupun begitu, Julian Inspire memerlukan positioning dan timing yang baik kerana dia perlu berada dekat dengan musuh untuk memaksimumkan damage. Jika salah masuk fight, dia mudah dihukum kerana tiada spell escape seperti Flicker. Namun dalam tangan pemain yang mahir, Julian Inspire boleh menjadi monster yang sangat sukar dihentikan dalam Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Battle Spell. **Retribution is mandatory for Julian as a Jungler.** It provides essential jungle clear speed, objective control (Turtle/Lord), and gold income through jungle items. **Why Retribution:** - **Fast Jungle Clear:** Julian's combo-based kit synergizes with Retribution to clear camps in under 2:30 minutes - **Objective Secure:** Ice Retribution provides slow for securing Turtle/Lord and chasing fleeing enemies - **Gold Advantage:** Jungle item upgrades provide necessary stats and gold generation **Techniques:** 1. **Use on Big Monsters:** Always save Retribution for the largest jungle monster (Golem/Red Buff) for maximum damage and faster clear 2. **Ice vs Fire:** Ice Retribution recommended for ganking (slow synergy with Julian's kit); Fire for faster clear speed 3. **Objective Steal:** Keep Retribution ready for Turtle/Lord contests - Julian's burst + Retribution can secure objectives 4. **Gank Tool:** Use Ice Retribution slow to close gaps before landing Chain (Skill 3) combo **Upgrade Priority:** Max Retribution first for increased damage and objective control. Upgrade to Ice Retribution at earliest opportunity for enhanced gank potential.

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.

Spells

Vengeance · Reflect Damage

Emblems — Marksman emblem with lifesteal and basic attacks

Swift
Festival of Blood

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.
