Julius's Attacks:

  • Left Punch (blockable): Winds up and punches downward. Dodge diagonally left or right. Can be blocked and countered, but be wary of unblockable moves.
  • Right Uppercut (blockable): Quick uppercut that launches you. Can be comboed into Body Slam or Left Punch. Dodge diagonally or block.
  • Body Slam (unblockable): Jumps and slams down, then quickly gets up. Best dodged by staying at a distance.
  • Elbow Drop (unblockable): Flails twice, then jumps across the screen. Dodge diagonally and use the downtime for healing or magic.
  • Fists of Fury: Quickly moves across the screen, alternating punches, ending with a spinning punch. Block when close and counterattack immediately.
  • Grab and Screw (unblockable): Sweeps to grab you, pulls you close, and spews on you, causing Blindness, Confusion, or Poison. Dodge diagonally; if caught, dash away immediately upon hitting the ground.
  • Charging Bull (unblockable): Charges, turns, and charges again. Easy to dodge; use the opening for magic or healing.
  • Butt Pound (unblockable): Magically leaps to a tall building and repeatedly bounces down. Difficult to dodge on the ground. Try to maintain height using Flowmotion on surrounding buildings or use Curaga with Leaf Bracer.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Be patient and avoid all of Julius's attacks using diagonal dodges or blocks.
  2. 2
    When Julius uses Fists of Fury, block it and immediately counterattack to deal damage safely.
  3. 3
    Julius will become stunned for a second after a certain amount of hits (e.g., two counters).
Tips
  • All-out attacking is ineffective and will lead to quick defeat.
  • A diagonal dodge is generally the best way to evade most of his attacks.
  • If caught by Grab and Screw, dash away as soon as you hit the ground to avoid follow-up attacks.
  • Curaga with Leaf Bracer can help mitigate damage from Butt Pound if you cannot fully dodge it.
