Player Tip
Useful in-game noteJulian works best when entering from the side. Walking straight into five heroes wastes your pressure and makes you easy to control. After Tough Boots, War Axe you can start playing more confidently. In EXP, side-wave control decides whether your team fights with pressure or loses turret for free. Be careful against kiting, anti-heal. If enemies pick Wanwan, Xavier, avoid ego fights and wait for team setup.
Pro Gameplay Guide
TemplateEarly Game
Trade around cooldowns and keep lane pressure without dying early.
Mid Game
Join Turtle/Lord fights after managing side wave.
Late Game
Flank or zone enemy backline while protecting your carry if needed.
Combo guide: Gap close → sustain/control skill → main damage → disengage or chase.
Positioning: Side/frontline. Enter from side angles rather than walking straight into CC.

When to Pick
- Enemy side laner is weak early
- Your team needs a durable frontliner
- You can split pressure then join fights

- Enemy has strong anti-heal
- You lose lane pressure before first Turtle
Advanced Tips
- Play Julian around the strongest timing of the Fighter role.
- Watch the minimap before forcing fights.
- Save escape or control skills for enemy dive.
- Win fight → take turret, Turtle/Lord, or enemy jungle. Do not chase forever.
- Use Julian when the enemy key escape or control skill is already used.
- Do not fight randomly before objectives; prepare vision and cooldowns first.
- After winning a fight, take turret, Turtle, Lord, or enemy jungle instead of chasing too far.
