#Add Giuiliano/Julian to the game

Giuiliano would be a very interesting addition to the game as a character.

Who is Giuiliano?

Giuiliano is a character that briefly appeared in Strinova's story (that is only available on Bili Bili, but you can also find the translated version on Strinova Wiki), along with other two characters - The Great Artist(aka Galatea who is already in the game), Rafa (a character very closely related to Yugiri) and Giuiliano. Giuiliano is a sniper with spider web abilities who seems to work along with Rafa and Galatea. Now i haven't really dug deep into the lore, but Giuiliano, as a character, seems to be very cool and exciting, and him being added to the game would be an awesome idea.
Here is a reasoning as for why I think he should be added to the game:

  1. Giuiliano could be the first sniper in the Urbino team, making him the first sniper that could be played for both DEFENDERS and ATTACKERS. That will give people many opportunities to explore a sniper in various situations. His spiderweb abilities could both be used as a stall for defenders or a trap for attackers. The possibilities are grand.
  2. He would be the fourth male character in the game. Now, we already have Bai Mo in the Urbino team. But here's the thing - Giuiliano has INSANE potential to become a new fan favorite. his clothing very closely resembles one Kokona is wearing, and his bodybuild makes him look pretty young. And knowing how some people like those types of buils nowadays, there's a huge potential for good art and media revolving around Giuiliano.
  3. His abilities could be GAME-CHANGING. Every time a new character gets added, people find a way to absolutely dominate people on launch. It happens in every game ever, not just in Strinova. But the thing is there are not many "trappers" in the game. Of course, there are some good characters with good stall potential, like Leona's cubes and Meredith's Ultimate, but there wasn't a "trapper" character at any point in the game. Giuiliano could be the new CONTROLLER with Abilities that could either greatly slow down or stop the pushes completely. That would not just break the game... That would make other players adapt and come up with new ways of trying to counter that. Though, making him too unbalanced could upset the players, and nerfs would totally kill a character(kind of what happened to Mara after many nerfs).

Overall, adding Giuiliano to the game would add a very versatile sniper with great stalling/trapping abilities and create a new fan favorite.
took me a while to write this so pls consider reading it all. I believe my reasonings are good enough :]

# peak lava did something happen?
  1. As Rei said, CN absolutely panned this character when he was revealed in the CN story. Mainly because he tried to kill Audrey (by shooting her with an agent that induced Collapse Syndrome) in CN Season 3, and in CN Season 4, it seems implied that he, I dunno, blows up the entirety of Space Lab and potentially causes a second disaster.
  2. The entirety of that story has, at least for now, seemingly been retconned. The other two members of his faction (New Bethlehem) have seemingly been rewritten (Galatea has not been written with any ties to terrorism, and Rafa is now Yugiri). The entire New Bethlehem plotline has also been seemingly scrapped in favor of Outbreak.
  3. A precious dev interview from months ago announced two things - no plans to add male characters for the forseeable future, and no new sniper characters (citing balancing reasons).

Just to rehash the comment already made that parsed through that kinda low quality footage:

Julian - PUS Controller
Primary Weapon - Goliath/Birdeater (refers to the Birdeater tarnatula), identical performance to Kokona's SR (CheyTac M2000)
Active Skill (Spider's Web) - Deploys spider devices that form a web when at least three are near each other. Enemies within the web are Slowed. (base 10 sec. CD)
-Unclear whether devices are destructible, devices likely have infinite duration.
Passive Skill (Silk Cocoon) - Losing all Armor creates a web that gives Stringified DMG Reduction whilst inside.
Ultimate Skill (Earthbound Evil?) - Creates a large web only visible to allies. Stuns enemies within its area when it expires.

A1 - Enemies within webs take damage over time. (looks to be ~15 DPS?)
A2 - When Julian is near a web, slows descent when aiming down sights with Primary weapon.
A3 - Enemies that cross the web are revealed. (likely to the entire team)

Upgrades:
Normal Sniper upgrades (Rechambering/Charging SPD, Sprint SPD/Stringified DMG, Magazine Capacity/Reload SPD, ADS SPD/Quick Zoom Scope)
Active Skill - CD reduction, +3 Charges
Passive Skill - +Duration, +Stringified DMG Reduction

I dont want another fucking sniper ima be real here

#

Shit dawg a kokokanami who dont miss makes the lobby hard to play and enjoy

You either end up with snipers that useless and just exist for the Q or 2 sniper that equaly good and make other team"s day a living nightmare...it not fun

#

Give julian a P90 or Mp7 or something ...i dont think we have a urbino SMG

brave raven
#

No we do not. And there are some people in #1342687979491168387 that do have different ideas for an Urbino SMG agent.

# bright hinge I MISS THE OLD UI 😭😭😭

I also miss it. But I don't think the current UI is bad either, I just don't like that we don't have the option to see our stats by default, and instead we can only see our agent splash art by default
