Julius Novachrono is the latest character introduced in Black Clover M. His banner is currently active, and there are only a few days remaining before it ends. He is a limited-time character, so he won't be available for much longer. However, players should strive to summon him as he is an incredibly powerful character in the world of Black Clover M.
Who is Julius Novachrono?
Julius Novachrono is actually a character from the anime and manga series "Black Clover." He's the Magic Emperor, a powerful and respected figure within the Clover Kingdom. Julius is known for his immense magical abilities, particularly his control over time magic. What makes him unique is his youthful appearance despite being quite old due to a spell that preserves his body. He's a mentor and guiding figure for the protagonist, Asta, and the other Magic Knights, playing a crucial role in maintaining peace within the kingdom. Julius is highly intelligent, fair-minded, and committed to protecting his people. His character development and role in the series make him a fan-favorite.
Julius' Role
A magic attacker who is good at delaying enemy actions.
All of Julius' skills have effects related to action power and speed, with many of them inflicting action debuffs on the enemy.
By applying an action debuff, you can easily create a situation where you delay the enemy's next action order, potentially securing victory by attacking first.
"Lotus" stands out among existing characters for having the best tactics, but Julius himself serves as an attacker capable of aiming for high firepower. Consequently, he can adeptly perform two distinct roles.
Unique Passive (Unlocked upon promotion to LR): Julius' passive skill grants a 3% increase in damage dealt for every 15 points of his own speed. Additionally, it enables 'time accumulation,' boosting the damage dealt by special moves by 10% each turn, accumulating up to 5 times. This unique passive not only facilitates Julius' swifter actions but also enhances his firepower significantly.
The Awakening Passive (Accessible upon reaching LR2) enables the recovery of up to 45% of his physical strength once, preventing incapacitation. This revival ability serves as a lifeline, particularly valuable for beginners lacking support from defenders and healers.
Recommended Skill Pages
His motif page reigns supreme. Though it's mentioned as increasing stamina damage, it's actually an all-attack enhancement, making it incredibly powerful. If this isn't available, Lotus might be a good alternative, especially if Julius is well-duped. Otherwise, increased damage plus Crit rate could also be very effective, particularly with a Crit damage build.

Skills
Skill 1 applies decreased stamina to the enemy. If he lands a critical hit, everyone gains a five percent increase in stamina, creating a fascinating mechanic. Even a five percent decrease in stamina can disrupt the turn order, which I find intriguing.
Moving to Skill 2 without the skill page, it has a chance to apply time stop and grants Julius a level three speed increase. Time stop disables the enemy's Skill 2 and increases its cooldown by one for two turns. This is particularly effective against characters like Noel, whose shield is a pivotal part of her kit in PvP.
Julius' ultimate skill is what makes him incredible. Typically, the turn order would be his ultimate followed by Skill 2. It either applies a stun and a 20% decrease in stamina, or if he kills the enemy, he gains an extra turn. It's incredibly potent.

Passives
His LR passive is insane, offering a three percent increase in damage for every 15 speed, along with time accumulation stacks. It's mind-boggling. His other passive, the full revive, is equally fantastic, if not better than Licht's. It essentially grants a full revive, a game-changer.
