Julei: Necromancer Details

Julei’s Necromancer is incredible on paper, but the game provides precious few opportunities for it to really excel. Its first two tiers of moves aren’t especially exciting (though a passive defense debuff to all enemies can be nice), but its signature Dark Curse spell in the third tier is the real selling point here. A spell that debuffs all of an enemy’s stats, alongside buffs that extends the spell’s duration and lets it target all enemies? Sign me up!

Unfortunately, there’s just one tiny problem here: Dark Curse is a Dark attack. Against enemies that resist darkness, which includes the final boss and the game’s strongest post-game bosses, Dark Curse doesn’t put in much work. Still, this class can be helpful depending on how early you unlock Julei’s third tier of his Elemental Plot, and the full suite of debuffs can help in Elemental Aeries too. Don’t rely on Julei to be your main debuffer, but in the right context, this class can really shine.
