'''Julius''' is a vicious artificial monster that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. He first appeared in the Disney animated short film ''{{w|Runaway Brain}}'', and can be fought as a boss once the story has been completed. It is required to defeat him once to access and traverse through the Fountain Plaza.

Line 96: Line 93:
Julius is a powerful opponent, possessing immense physical strength and a devastating combat style similar to commercial wrestling. Julius is very agile despite his large size and is capable of running swiftly and leaping great distances and heights. His basic attacks include a quick uppercut-like punch, a downward arcing punch, and a basic straight punch. He may perform a combo in which he knocks the player upward using the uppercut twice, then knocks them back down to the ground using the arcing punch. Julius may also take off at a run and leap into the air to come crashing down in an elbow drop, and begin to run across the arena at high speed to ram into the current character.

His most dangerous attack at first is a barrage of swinging punches as he moves forward, telegraphed by him punching his fists together. The attack is very difficult to dodge unless the player is a significant distance from Julius when he begins the attack, as he will quickly turn to keep coming at the player. All of these attacks except for the elbow drop and his running around the arena can be blocked, but Riku's [[Dark Barrier]] is the only Block command that can block the entire punch barrage, as the quick turn Julius performs causes him to attack from other directions other than head-on, which other Block commands cannot stop. Julius may also perform a slower attack in which he smacks the ground, then unleashes a one-two punch. If the first punch connects, he will grab the character and belch on them, inflicting {{c|Blind|status}}, {{c|Poison|status}}, and {{c|Confusion|status}}. His most powerful attack involves him jumping to the tallest building, and then leaping through the air to crash down. The punches can be blocked but the ground smack and aerial crash cannot. The aerial crash is also very difficult to dodge. Sora can use [[Superglide]] to dodge it safely, and while Sora and Riku can use Flowmotion to dodge, it is not always reliable, as Julius can break the poles around the arena to limit Flowmotion's effectiveness.

Flowmotion for both characters is also an option to dodge it, but is not always reliable, as Julius can break the poles around the arena to limit Flowmotion's effectiveness.


When Julius falls to half his HP, the screen will darken and Julius will summon lightning bolts to bombard the arena, supercharging his fists with electricity. All of Julius's punch attacks now create shockwaves to increase their range, and his elbow drop and aerial crash create shockwaves in his wake, each one now inflicting additional Thunder damage. His lightning-charged Crush Press will also reset the reload bar of the currently selected command while multiplying its reload time by 8, signified by the disabled command turning black and red. If the selected command is still reloading, the doubled reload time will take effect for the remainder of the reload time. After a period of time, Julius will lose his lightning and his attacks return to normal. However, he will continue to periodically charge himself back up throughout the rest of the fight. If Julius charges himself with the lighting while on his last bar of HP, he will not lose the charge.

[[File:Versus Julius KH3D.png|thumb|right|Julius engaging in combat in Traverse Town.]]
In order to provide for adequate defense, both Sora and Riku should equip [[Leaf Bracer]], [[Once More]], [[Second Chance]], [[Blindness Block]], {{c|Poison Block|ddd}}, and [[Confusion Block]]. Equipping several [[Thunder Screen]] is beneficial too, as it will reduce the damage inflicted by Julius's thunder-enhanced punches, as will be maxing out [[Magic Haste]] to lessen the reloading time of [[Cure]] commands and spells. Their decks should both have at least Curaga or two [[Elixir]] commands; as Elixirs are item commands and have no reload time, they would be unaffected by the reload-slowing effect and would be the best command to have active if it is inflicted. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD]]'', the reload-slowing effect instead fully disables the currently-selected command. Increasing the Max HP of both characters is important, so make sure to clear both characters' Secret Portals for another boost. Although the character's Spirits will not be able to assist them directly, all active abilities will remain enabled during the battle.
Julius's attacks change depending on his stance. He has a small chance to change stance after each attack, with certain attacks having a high chance. Sora and Riku are also forced to fight Julius alone, though the abilities provided by their dream eaters remain.

Continue dodging Julius's combos and attack when possible, and eventually, he will be defeated, unlocking the Ultima Weapon.

Line 125: Line 119:


After about six of Julius's HP bars have been depleted, the battlefield grows dark and Julius surrounds his fists with electricity. Carefully time Dark Rolls to avoid the lightning bolts that come crashing down on Riku, or chain several Dark Barriers together to defend against them. If he manages to make Julius flinch while he's charging up, the charging effects won't be canceled. Because Julius's attacks are much more powerful in his charged-up state (adding Thunder damage on top of physical) and come more frequently with greater range (and also have a chance of slowing down command reload times), the player should disregard offense for the time being and merely chain Dark Rolls together to avoid the boss (be extremely careful not to accidentally trigger Flowmotion, as this leaves Riku vulnerable). Julius leaps off of the building more often in this state, so always remember to disengage Lock-On and get as far away from him as possible when this happens. When Julius's fists cease to glow, resume the previous strategy of dodging his attacks and following up with Balloon-type spells or Dark Firaga. Julius will enter this more powerful state at random intervals from this point onward as his HP continues to dwindle, but once he is on his last couple of bars, his last charge will remain until the end, so continue using Balloon and Dark Firaga from a distance until his HP finally hits 0.
