Tips & Tricks:
- Using any OH stand or Tusk ACT4, GER, Kars, Santana, Crazy Diamond or Sticky Fingers is recommended to defeat the Minions and Dio Brando.
- During Dio Brando's barrage, you can move directly forwards towards him (otherwise it wouldn't work) and go behind, leaving Dio stuck until he finishes the barrage.
- It's extremely recommended to defeat the Vampiric Minions first and then Dio Brando. This can best be done by pushing the Vampiric Minions next to Dio Brando and then stopping time and hitting them with a Barrage.
- Using The Hand's Legs Erasure (F key) you can stun Dio Brando for 8 seconds.
- Using Sticky Fingers' Zipper Detachment (F key) you can stun him by removing his legs or lowering his overall damage by removing one of his arms.
- If you’re in a crowd, don’t use Whitesnake's Stand Disc ability, as you may disable others.
- Using Blood Drain Grab in the Vampiric Minions is very recommended since they're not that threatening.
- Don't use GER's F move when Dio Brando is about to use his Vampiric Jump. Instead, wait until he uses it so you can use your F move at full potential.
- Avoid getting to close to Dio Brando when he's using Vaporization Freezing Technique. This can be easily dodgeable if you pay attention to his voice when the move is trigged.
- If you are in private server alone you can perform a glitch with Santana that makes Dio Brando and his minions ignore you. Just simply use Santana's F move into Dio Brando or his minions.
- There is a glitch with Dio Brando's Vaporization Freezing Technique that can instantly kill you. This only happens when you barrage (hold E) or block, it might have something to do with defense. To prevent this, let go of E when you hear his voice line.
- You can solo him with any OH stands, the barrage is essential for good damage.
- Dio Brando has no cooldown in his moves, in most of the cases he will not spam a single attack since he is an NPC and choose the attacks randomly, but sometimes he can spam Vaporization Freezing Technique and the Barrage and that is very dangerous; be careful with that.
- Using D4C Clones (Both Regular and LT) can bait him, allowing you to get easy hits.
- Timestop is bound to kill the minions and get Dio Brando to nearly half his health.
- Jumping straight behind Dio while he barrages will make him stand still (might not work sometimes).
- Dio Brando has a chance to have his Vampiric Minion 1 spawn somewhere else in the sewer.
- Dio Brando can get stuck on items like Water, so use that to your advantage.
- You freeze Dio Brando in place by using R attack with TWOH and other stands while he barrages this with bug him for a short amount of time.
- You can solo Dio Brando with Magician's Red, by spamming its Barrage and red bind, However, this will probably end up in you having red hp at the time you kill him.
- Wamuu's G Move can 1 shot Dio Brando, you just have to wait 1 minute after placing the Ring.
