To master Julian, you’ll need quick thinking and a lot of practice.
The good news is that we’re here to make the learning process a little easier, with recommended emblems, battle spells, and best builds for the hero in this beginner’s guide.
Julian’s skills in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Passive – Smith’s Legacy
After casting two different skills, Julian enhances his third skill. He can also upgrade each of his skills to level five.
Skill 1 – Scythe
Julian hurls a flying scythe in a target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way and slowing them.
Enhanced effect: It works similarly, but inflicts a more punishing slow effect. Upon hitting a non-minion enemy, the scythes do not disappear and will continue to fly at a slower speed, dealing continuous damage to nearby enemies.
Skill 2 – Sword
Julian summons a flying sword and dashes in a target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way.
Enhanced effect: Summons a large number of flying swords and dashes in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way. Julian will also briefly disappear and become invincible. After a short delay, he’ll reappear at the farthest end of his dash.
Skill 3 – Chain
Julian casts a chain at a target location, dealing damage to enemies hit after a short delay and immobilizing them.
Enhanced effect: The chain deals continuous damage to enemies in the area and slows them. Enemies that are still in the area at the end of the skill duration will take more damage and be knocked airborne.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Julian in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Julian’s skills work great in the jungle, and Retribution helps him farm faster and secure important objectives like the Turtle and Lord.
With Retribution, you can clear jungle camps quickly, level up faster, and be more active on the map.
The advanced version of Retribution, particularly the Ice Retribution, allows you to steal movement speed from your target depending on your level for several seconds, making you agile while slowing them down.
Recommended emblem
Opt for the mage emblem to boost Julian’s Magic Power, Cooldown Reduction, and Magic Penetration, as all his abilities scale with magic power.
In terms of talents, prioritize Rupture a boost in Adaptive Penetration, Seasoned Hunter for increased jungling speed, and Lethal Ignition for bonus damage on multi-hits.
This talent combination enhances his early-game capabilities, with Lethal Ignition synergizing effectively with his skill set.

As you transition into the mid-game, buyDivine Glaiveto boost your Magic Penetration and kill potential.
After securing these core items, adapt your item build based on in-game dynamics.

Tips and easy combos to learn
Once you reach level three, you may repeatedly use Sword, Chain, and Enhanced Scythe to deal a lot of damage during the laning phase. This combo is also great for getting kills in the mid to late game.
If you are outnumbered, using Chain, Scythe, and Enhanced Sword will help you dodge skills and move closer to or away from enemies without getting hit.
During team fights, use Scythe, then Sword, and finally Enhanced Chain to knock up several enemies. After each enhanced skill, follow up with Basic Attacks to do the most damage. Use your skills again as soon as they are ready.
It’s also important to mention that Julian’s passive gives him a big boost in lifesteal. This means fighting with low health might be better than trying to run away, unless you’re heavily outnumbered or very far behind in the game.
