ā€œI am an emperor! My only ambition is to remain at the top!ā€ - King Crimson (Kingu Kurimuzon, ć‚­ćƒ³ć‚°ćƒ»ć‚ÆćƒŖćƒ ć‚¾ćƒ³)

Summary

King Crimson is the Stand of Diavolo, the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo.

Unlike most other Stands that deal high amounts of damage in their barrages, King Crimson mainly specializes in punches, slashes and strikes that are fatal in close-ranged combat. Combined with its ability to erase time, this Stand can be extremely powerful when used correctly. This Stand also has two shiny counterparts of itself: Ender Crimson and Manga King Crimson (MKC).

You can get this Stand by using a Frog on King Crimson (Two Arm Doppio). However, there is also a 1% chance of obtaining the shiny variant, Manga King Crimson, when a Frog is used on King Crimson (Two Arm Doppio). To obtain its other Shiny, Ender Crimson, the user would need to use a Monochromatic Sphere on King Crimson.

Appearance

King Crimson is a humanoid Stand of a height and build like the user, however tends to seem somewhat bigger. Its body is roofed by a raised diagonal grid; save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees, and feet/footwear. Its eyes comprise of sharp orifices of a steep inward slant.

The said second face on King Crimson's forehead is called Epitaph and is usually duplicated within the same position on the user's forehead. Epitaph presents itself as a bump on the forehead that includes eyes and a mouth perpetually grinding its teeth. Appropriate to its name, King Crimson is represented all told media that includes it as being primarily red, with the shade of red variable from work to figure.

As for King Crimson's shinies, Manga King Crimson possesses the same model and physical build as its predecessor, with the difference being that this shiny has an overall orange and yellow color scheme, instead of being completely red. As for Ender Crimson, its simply recoloured and retextured to resemble an Enderman.

Battle Strategies

General Combat Knowledge:

King Crimson possesses sheer power and speed, thus making it a very powerful stand in close quarters combat. King Crimson is easily one of the Stands with the most damage output through throwing single hits. However, due to its extremely low durability, King Crimson has to play tiptoes and proactively as trading damage is not the primary option. With the damage King Crimson outputs every single punch, you don't need to rush at your opponent if you don't feel safe for the follow-up attacks; it is advisable to keep your distance and use Epitaph liberally until you feel comfortable enough to retaliate.

Technicalities:

King Crimson's chop (F) is the most useful for following up attacks or for defensive options. If your opponent starts spamming projectiles when you're charging F, you better stop and try to get close to them. To King Crimson, running is almost useless since time erase exists. It's best to not let your opponent notice you are erasing time. Instead, use impaling strike (R + time erase) right upon TE activation to deal godly damage without them being able to react. Since TE reverses the enemy's to their former position, you can pair up R + H + R and deal 145 damage in less than 3 seconds.

Time Skip Hitbox Extension

Strangely, the endlag on King Crimson's attacks (R, T, G, and F) actually ends ever so slightly before the hitbox of the attack disappears. Paired with KC's time skip dash (V), which is instantaneous, it is possible to dash forwards with the hitbox of the previous move still active. This can lead to KC hitting attacks from a long distance away, which is deadly when utilized with T, KC's primary combo starter. Since V has a relatively low cooldown, you can get away with abusing this as much as you like.

Combos:

  • T + R + F + F (Medium)
  • T + G (Easy)
  • F + T + R + H + R + T + G + R + Y (Medium/Hard depending on opponent's ability) (If done right, very hard to escape from)(cooldowns may make it not work)
  • H + R + T + R (Easy)
  • T + R + V + G (Easy/Medium)
  • G + T + F + F + R (Medium)
  • F + F + T + R + G (Medium/Hard)
  • H + R + F + T + R + T (Medium/Hard)
  • H + R + E (Easy/Medium)
  • T + H + R + G + F + F (Medium)
  • T + G + F + R + R (Easy/Medium)
  • R + C + V + T + G + H + R + R (Medium)
  • T + R + H + R + G + F + F (optional) (Medium) Can almost kill users with A durability (kills A+ if E lands).
  • H + R + T + G + F + F + R (Easy/Medium)
  • H + R + T + G + R + C (If Needed) + V + F (Not Long) Medium/Hard. Can Instant Kill People.
  • T + G + R + V + F (Hold) + F + R (Medium/Hard)
  • H + T + R(Must be at 75% health or less)(Easy)
  • H + R + T + R + G (Medium)
  • H + R + T + G (Easy)
  • F + R + T + E (Easy/Medium)

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • Godly burst damage output.
  • Good mobility.
  • Time erasure and Epitaph can help you avoid deadly attacks.
  • Low cooldowns for most attacks.
  • Time erase can make you invisible and not attackable and is great for setting up attacks.
  • Epitaph is very viable for escaping attacks, and once it ends TE cooldown should be over.
  • Deadly combos. A well-practiced player's combos are almost impossible to escape.
  • Deceptively large hitboxes, even without Time Skip Hitbox Extension.

Cons:

  • Close range stand; hard to deal with projectiles.
  • Kingly Chop is a slow move to pull off, and is almost useless against stands with projectiles.
  • Time Erase cooldown is global, which means the cooldown happens to every KC user across the server.
  • When exiting Time Erase, the effect may blind the user for a second.
