## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Angela](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/angela.md), [Diggie](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/diggie.md)

Julian works best with powerful support heroes who can buff him, like Angela and Diggie.

**Strong against**: [Cecilion](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/cecilion.md), [Aldous](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/aldous.md)

Julian is a hero who can constantly grow his own advantage, so he is strong against heroes who are weak in the early game, like Cecilion and Aldous.

**Weak against**: [Joy](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/joy.md), [Harith](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/harith.md)

Julian needs to hit enemy heroes with his skills to bring out his potential, so he is countered by heroes with good Mobility. Such as Joy and Harith.
