Best Archer combos with Julian

Julian appears in 12 ranked Archer combos.

1. 3 FMB Galahad · Julian · Oliver
   Galahad (X23), Julian (X25) and Oliver (X24) score 85.60 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Galahad is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 127% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 89% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 enemy squads every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Galahad and Oliver both wait on. What you give up: little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. This is one of the lineups recommended in-game by the developers, and the scorecard shows why it earns the recommendation.

2. 5 FMB Beowulf · Julian · Oliver
   Beowulf (SP · paid), Julian (X25) and Oliver (X24) score 84.44 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Beowulf is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Slayer applies Disarm, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 95% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 enemy squads every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Beowulf and Oliver both wait on; Beowulf’s Dragon Slayer applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Beowulf raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →

3. 10 FMB Julian · Spectral Reaper · Oliver
   Julian (X25), Spectral Reaper (X03) and Oliver (X24) score 79.93 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Spectral Reaper brings a second damage line worth 13% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Tamashi-kusari puts 742% into one enemy squad on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 87% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 enemy squads every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Spectral Reaper and Oliver both wait on; Spectral Reaper shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt. What you give up: Spectral Reaper (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

4. 12 FMB Beowulf · Julian · Henry II
   Beowulf (SP · paid), Julian (X25) and Henry II (X20) score 79.25 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Henry II is the win condition, bringing 91% of the lineup's expected damage: Spear of the Dynasty puts 260% x4 into one enemy squad every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Beowulf waits on; Beowulf’s Dragon Slayer applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Henry II swings into a line that cannot answer; Beowulf raises Henry II’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 31% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. How these scores work →

    Liberator is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 97% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Julian is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 34% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Harald III is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Absolute Authority applies Taunt on a 55% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Liberator waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 10% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Liberator (X05) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →
