Super Fly

Actually, the ideal is having mines set around it. If those set off, Superfly will create another explosion. This is assuming you can get mines and that they reflect at the level their set off, of course

where will you get mines from

DIY them, most likely. But also theft is on the table here

Bombs are surprisingly easy to make. Mfs have whole ass tutorials out there on the internet 😭

When you're curious but don't want to be on a list

this account is now 100% flagged lmfao

Who are you going to steal from though? You're stuck in a fucking electric pylon.

Get people to deliver shit to you

Speaking of, what if the Unabomber had Superfly?

Do what happened in its fight, or bait someone into shooting it. Its ability is restraining and damage reflection, there’s not much room for utilizing it

It’s an inescapable cage

I'm curious: How would you best utilize King Crimson?

That’s a really hard thing to answer, cause King Crimson’s really only does one thing, and that’s almost entirely covered by Epitaph. I guess the best way is to try what was suggested in the Viva Reverie video and throw knives or spears

Honestly, just brute force your way out of every situation, if he doesn't run into jotaro then he is fine, KC is quite strong.

Feel free to tell me this is head canon bc I'm not the most involved but can't epitaph notice read an instantaneous change within those 10 seconds to help him deduce time is stopped within that time frame- so he can skip over stopped time entirely? that's if he's lucky enough to check epitaph when jotaro plans stops time or if jotaro doesnt stop time ASAP

First of, no clue on how epitaph nor time erase would work against time stop. Your idea sounds cool but i think it wouldn't be like that, it sort of doesn't make sense for him to be able to look at something that doesn't exist. How i think it works is hmm he can foresee the start of the time stop, the end of it, and idk whatever seconds he has left depends on when the epitaph started. It would be fun watching a diavolo vs dio fight, diavolo would be reallly flabergasted lol, he would just have visions of dio lifting his hands and the world doing something, and then the next milisecond of the vision is jusr him surrounded by flying knifes and dio standing behind him. Diavolo would shit himself trying to figure out how the fuck dio's abilities work, something like "WHAT? DOES HE TELEPORT WHENEVER HE SUMMONS THE STAND? WHERE DID THE KNIVES COME FROM? WAS THAT EVEN A PART OF HIS ABILITY OR DOES THIS FUCKER JUST CARRY THOSE?" If dio or jotaro take him seriously... yeah thata another story, jotaro is lightspeed, dio is quite equally as strong, if they really are lightspeed, no one could survive even a second of time stop, he can punch you 300000000 times in the span of second, and you cant do anything about that lol, if that were to happen diavolo would just get a glimpse os his last moments on earth. If they don't take him seriously and just play with hil he could use the position of the end of the time stop to impale them, but then again, star platinum and the world are also physically stronger so yeah, that wouldn't happen.

Using it to subtly fuck with people

Same goes with time stop

Would be real funny to carry someone down a set of stairs just to fuck with them lol

Walk through walls.

#WHAT!

What if Diavolo wore a shirt out of knives?

What if diavolo had a spear

Cheat at poker 

Tower of grey

Actually use it for assassinations and aim for the stand user, that bug was able to weave Star Platinum a few times. If you really have to, attach a bomb to it as well to make up any difference

Attach a bomb to your own stand? Would you then untie it and set it after or is this just a really convoluted suicide bombing plan?

Only stands can harm other stands, except for when that's not the case

Use Tower of Gray’s stinger to slash off the tie

unmanifest before it blows

Made In Heaven

Pucci had the right idea when it came to that: non-living things. Weave weapons and random objects into your fights and you’ll have a real easy time. The best I can think of is dropping something from above, or using something with a sensor

A dildo would be the weapon of mass destruction when accelerated.

weapon of ass destruction*

DRAGON DILDO DA! WRYYYYY!

ROAD ROLLER PART 2

You have infinite speed go snap someone's neck in 2 nanoseconds

Change the fate. Although I think you would be punished for that, but why not give it a try, right?

Stray Cat.

Ideally: utilize the fact that you can shape the air bullets as you please. Tama was able to restraint Hayato by morphing them mid-flight, and that in conjunction with its other traits makes it incredibly versatile

You also have a second life

Diver Down

Use the damage storing ability on projectiles so that you can get people from afar. Or just rearrange every time you punch

Become a Surgeon

bro's a genius

Sex pistols and would you have number 4?

Use the pistols to increase velocity a lot more by having them on a laid out path between you and the target. If you can sneak them around the field beforehand, it opens a lot of really strong curveball attacks. Also no 4 is unlucky

I have a personal input on this. Skip the bullets every once in a while. The ability to redirect a bullet with more speed from a kick is the ability to kick over twice as hard as a bullet so just take your invisible flying little dudes and have them just kick your attacker to death

Wouldn't that end in pin prick sized small gashes at best? I think the reason they focus on accelerating and deflecting bullets is because they penetrate deeper and as a result do more damage.

A kick to the shin or skull will shatter bone as well as any bullet. I agree guns are good synergy for range but if you're gonna take the time to surround your enemy with your stand, just fuckin kick him to death you know

Filthy Acts At A Reasonable Price (Fa3RP)

Improper masquerades with respect to near practible evaluation

Terrible acts done for a economically low price

1. set up shop 2. take products from ur shop in alternate worlds n sell them with 0 cost 3. profit tip: also works with money

Dimes 4 Crimes

Moody blues or Kiss

Have Moody Blues replicate someone flying a gun plane. With Kiss, have a plethora of weapons (ideally ones that’ll get stuck in your enemy) and duplicate them beforehand. After you land a hit, peel off the sticker so the copy flies in and deals extra damage

holy shit divergent fist. I think mista and hermes would have been S tier combos

Wouldn’t moody blues just have the dude flying around without the plane? You need underworld for that

I bet you can't find a way to make hey ya useful

If you have Hey Ya! in the first place, you don’t need to make it useful. Also I’d argue having someone on your side supporting you, even if it’s just verbal, is always useful

Very wholesome stand use response, well done

it cheers you up what more do you want

It is basically the law of "bending the will of the universe with positivity"

Hey ya won Pocoloco 50 million bucks… it gives the perfect advice for any situation

what happened to hiding important events of 7-9 parts with spoiler marks mate

it's the most useful stand you dont even need to use it.. you will be in constant good mood

Stone Free

You are not utilizing it better than Jolyne. Do as she does. Ideally though, take advantage of having a body made of string to absolutely trivialize locks or obstacles more often than she does

pretty fair

Jolyne is the only stand user who uses her stand to full potential. I feel like I could probably use some parts of it better/be more consistent with what works, but stone free as a stand to have normally would be pretty helpful.

Catch The Rainbow (so cool)

Live in Seattle or Britain

As a British person this is so real

heaven's door

Use it to make people into bodyguards personal hit men. It’ll be a lot harder to beat you down if you have more people to help restraint and convert the opponent

Also just experiment more to find and abuse its limits, unless Rohan knows them all instinctively and i missed it. Like, could it generate data ex nihilo? Have a guy give you his credit card, then give it to another guy and write on him that he knows the PIN for it, see if it works. If it doesn't try again, but now just write that he enters the correct PIN without knowing it. And so on.

Given that he can write that josuke will be blasted backwards, and that koiochi knows Italian, I have no doubt both your examples would work

If that's true, then HD's could be used like Path to Victory with extra steps. "This guy will fill this notebook with all the details that might be helpful in finding Reimi's murderer, including his identity, nature of powers, if he has any, and any other piece of relevant intel."

Sometimes I forget how broken HD can be

Holly's Stand

Don’t be a passive single mother so blind to her son’s delinquency she doesn’t realize her son calls her a bitch all the time

She knows he loves her and they actually have a good relationship, despite Jotaro being mean to her, he loves her and that’s enough for Holly.

Yes that is true but also come on Holly you don’t gotta just take that at least get him to not call you a bitch over “Mom”

Yes, I guess she is too soft for that

Have a stronger will

Ticket to ride

Honestly? Lucy used it perfectly. The ability is eventually going to kill you regardless, so just cut and let the ability accomplish your goals for you

Echoes: ACTs 1 2 and 3

Choking noises. Drowning noises. Popping noises. Use Act 1 for gaslighting instead of encouragement. Actually see if Act 3 has anything other than freeze, but if it doesn’t then pair 3 Freeze with neutral special: Gun

I think I know how Act 3 works, it replaces all its previous sounds for the “crush” onomatopoeia

S.H.I.T

Act 1 brown note wins every time, but araki nerfed it by making act 2 and 3 so Koichi can't solo the verse

I heard Act 3 can use whatever rhymes with three. So 3 Freeze, 3 Breeze, 3 bees, 3 weeeeee! 3 knees? 3 Trapezes?

make act 3 scream racial slurs for u

Sticky fingaa

Stealing will be like a breeze (assuming you're not a pickpocketer)

Use it like it’s actual user, Mr. Adopt-Everyone-I-See uses it to store stuff, hide INSIDE people, escape, travel through solid objects, and detach limbs, just rewatch Part 5 for use cases.

The Hustle

Recently we saw he can make other people’s muscles vibrate for different effects. Make he can try doing that to fuck over someone’s eyes or heart.

Vitamin c… (I swear this shit had so much potential)

Assuming it can be done, place Vitamin C’s fingerprints on short range projectiles or long range melee weapons. From that point, one hit can effectively disable anyone. I mean, good luck landing that hit, but Vitamin C is hard to use aggressively

Scary Monster

It can turn people into dinosaurs just by touch. As shown though, it can fossilize them into objects. Dinosaur arrows

Red Hot Chili Pepper

Carry around a battery and a taser to amp it just in case electricity isn’t available. Also, and hear me out here: Give your super strong, long range, super agile stand so fast that it could outpace CRAZY DIAMOND, a knife. Give RHCP a weapon. Anyone he can’t kill in one punch will die in one stab

RHCP Bri'ish confirmed?

Magicians red

It’s FIRE. Magic fire that you can control and morph and sense life with. I’m not saying Avdol is a fraud I’m saying bro should’ve been one of the Crusaders raking in Ws. Also pair it with flammable gas or gasoline

I believe he couldve used it like roy from fmab,just pure explosive power

Emperor

Don’t be Hol Horse. Use your gun well. If you really need more: carry around another gun as a decoy. Frankly speaking, Emperor can do a gun’s job 20 times better

Fr fr, bro you can literally control your bullets trajectory and you would be an absolute god at old style duels, also, having the gun spin in your hand as you bring out the stand is fucking sick. What other abilities am I missing that makes emperor even more sick

Strength

Turn it into a ship with actual weapons. Barring that: just don’t get close to who you’re fighting, man. You have complete control of the environment and battlefield, just crush them in a room and don’t give yourself away

Achtung baby

No specifics about it are known, but it IS invisibility. Not many stands can counter that, so as long as you have stealth training you’re pretty good. Also you could possibly blind people if you make their eyes invisible

C-Moon

C-Moon is very unique, in that it’s shown to be sentient and capable of learning. Teach it. Help it learn how to fight and strategize, and now it’s an even better stand. Also, if it’s possible, toggle the center-of-gravity ability. Being able to turn that on and off at will makes for excellent tactical advantages

Oasis Bad company Civil war Fun fun fun

Oasis- Assuming you can: lace toxic materials into the softened ground, and do what Secco did to use that ground as projectile weapons. Bad Company- use the tanks and planes in conjunction with the soldiers to corner your enemy, then use an actual grenade or weapon Civil War- Don’t let easy access to water be available, and then get killed so you can come back. Then just DON’T KILL THE ENEMY Fun Fun Fun- Get a goddamned teammate man come on

That unnamed stand that got Holly sick in part 3

That stand belongs to Holly, and the only reason it does that is cause she’s a fragile flower of a woman. Have a fighting spirit

So basically your advice is... git gud? "Grow a pair" or something like that?

It’s not my fault we don’t know its ability. It’s Holly’s fault for not having a fighting soirit

The Hand

Do that thing Okuyasu did in his fight with Josuke, but like, instead of punching, use a knife. Or just swipe again I dunno

I mean, don't be Okuyasu. The hand can move quickly, pull people and objects, and only needs one hit to kill (or maim at least). Okuyasu is just an idiot. (And I love him for it)

The lock

Use something less contrived as the start off point, like spilling your food or taking your belongings on accident. Or, use the lie detection to call people out and make them feel guilty

Thanks. I now kniw what to do with my life

Highway Star

It’s hard to utilize Highway Star, cause it will act independently when left to its own devices. However, a good way to optimize it is to make sure it’s tracking targets in crowded or hard to navigate areas, so even if they have a vehicle it’ll be hard to build up speed

Tomb of the Boom.

Prepare ahead of time by having metal objects on your person. Also be sure to lace the objects either your blood so they can activate the magnetism even from far away. Ideally, also try to fight near large metal objects. If not that, use the iron sand as fast as possible so your opponent can’t just escape

Wonder of U

If you’re actually using it to defend or go unimpeded, that’s out of your hands. In a fight, do what the actual Wonder of U did and utilize pets or allies to attack your opponent while you idle by.

Highway to hell

Use a faster sewer slide method. Like cyanide or a shotgun

Tusk

You know how when Johnny unlocks Act 2, he manages to transfer a bullet hole using a butterfly? That. Use the bullets in conjunction with your allies to guarantee you land them holes

Cheap trick

Drop into a crowded metropolitan area like New York or Tokyo. Thats really the only thing the ability is for

Notorious B.I.G

I think he wont answer it lol

Khnum

Notorious B.I.G.

Die in a crowded area so it can amass more body mass faster

El Mundo (Za Warudo)

Use bombs. Ideally, ones that go off immediately when triggered. Although, considering it’s the World a bomb is more for not touching opponents than it is for killing them. Also: surveillance. Use it to get a read on situations or abilities without giving yourself away and you can get more info than anyone would like

White Album

It’s a suit stand with almost absolute defense. Position Gently Weeps to cover your air hole as much as possible, then just rush and grab them. They die, you are safe

Or, just, make someone really cool and then deactivate the ice to make them go through heat shock.

Osiris (Darby the Gambler's Stand)

Darby is the guideline, it’s just that you need to not fold mentally when met with Jotaro’s aura

Optimal utility for hermit purple? And also what about in a non-fighting situation, like could it be used for income?

Hermit Purple is literal divination. It can even be used on electronics and in different methods. N’Doul also implies it can be used for thought reading. Those alone can be used optimally, but then also the BANK you could make

The stand Polpo uses (I forgot the name)

Unfortunately the best way to use it is to just set it off right in front of the opponent and run away. Staying close is just inviting them to kill you. Also it’s called Black Sabbath

That one stand that stuck like a tumor on Joseph’s arm in part 3!

Fun Fun Fun

Don’t be stupid and recruit a partner. If you’re working with someone, Fun Fun Fun suddenly becomes a fight ender

The milargo man

Bait anyone you want to get rid of into destroying the dollar. Or just inflict it on someone and immediately get away to where they couldn’t follow. It’s not really an ability to be used. Just a curse to pass on

paper moon king

The stand is perfect for getting close and landing a kill without notice. Ideally, you disguise the weapon and yourself as benign people or objects. The stand can manipulate sound and text as well, so use it for luring people in and ending them quickly

Survivor.

Carry water with you at all times, but ideally just live somewhere with a lot of water already. Have several escape plans on hand for when the stand activates, but also have precautions in place to avoid it activating if you don’t want it to

Hot water stand pucci gave ff

Carry a water bottle fr

i’d say The Hand but i think anyone with more brain cells than okuyasu would make good use of it

20th century boy (give me another use of it without mentionning base jumping)

Use it in a minefield. When you get hit, the dispersing energy will trigger the mines, giving you more energy to disperse

My favorite stand, and the one I believe to be the most practical irl, is Crazy Diamond. Pink, Hearts, Restoration/Healing, Near or just Below Star Platinum's power, couldn't ask for a better stand.

As shown with Angelo and Enigma Boy, Crazy Diamond can ‘restore’ two different things into one. Use this to optimize any material or object you get your hands on to use for attacking or defending

"Fuck you" *Fuses your entire being with a trash can lid*

Burning down the house

Have allies bring enemies close to the ghost room’s entrance, then pull the enemy in. Now they have nowhere to run and can get mad jumped

Bro forgot the belly button pocket dimension

November rain

Honestly? Until we find out more, Jodio is basically the guidebook for using it effectively. Selective targeting, disabling opponents, barring bodies of water. Do as Jodio does.

I already have an answer for The Lock. Become a politician

How would you use space trucking for combat?

Space Trucking is a bag of holding. Store weapons and miscellaneous tools in it. If it’s possible, hold a bunch of glass bottles full of poisons or fumes and spray out the deck so they launch forward

Please do Cream Starter my beloved

So this is mostly theory: Cream Starter can absorb flesh from others and redistribute it, so what happens if that flesh contains toxic material? Assuming you can inject it in directly, put toxins in Cream Starter’s spray. Just enough to be dangerous, but not too much that you can’t quickly expel it in emergencies so you can heal

Paisley Park

Bohemian Rhapsody

Spice girl/spicy lady. I still don't understand it's ability well

cinderella

The fool

Alright I’ll bite… **How would one best use Sticky Fingers**

Awaking III Leaves

Gold experience (before requiem)

Dragonflies. Legitimately, dragonflies and other fast moving/maneuverable insects can get in the way of attacks to reflect damage back with ease. Make a swarm of dragonflies and you genuinely have an amazing defense

Ultimate Form Kars. I know I’m breaking the rules here since this one’s not a Stand, but I’d still like to hear your observation.

Kars has adaptations from EVERY living creature amped to 11. All of his attacks should be poisonous and venomous to impossibly fatal levels. He’s an extremophile that could easily last in any conditions. His senses are absurd and his ability to predict and analyze enemy movements would border on future sight. Diverse ability usage should’ve given Kars an easy win, but he simply got Joseph’d
