Dio Brando/Warusaki3's second version

Based on his final boss form from Heritage for the Future'', Warusaki's second take on the usurper vampire bears some striking similarity to his first, but has many things that set him apart in order to reflect his boss status. For starters, DIO can now throw his knives at any time, even while outside of frozen time. He also gains access to his signature Road Roller!, which gives him an absurd amount of damage for a low Power cost.''

Gameplay


DIO is a five-button character, utilizing for his attacks;  is used for DIO's stand mechanic, allowing him to activate or deactivate his stand, The World;  is used as a dodge button, however, DIO will not be able to perform a dodge if his stand is active, and will instead perform an attack.

Much like in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, DIO possesses a stand mechanic where his moveset changes considerably depending on whether or not his stand, The World, is active. DIO's ability to activate The World is dictated by the Stand Gauge; taking damage while The World is active will deplete this gauge, and once at 0 will disable DIO's usage of The World for a limited time until it is able to recharge to full. DIO can also manually deactivate The World by pressing again, which will cause DIO's Stand Gauge to replenish at a faster rate without having The World disabled. DIO is not without his fair share of flaws; for one, he is unable to chain any of his Normal attacks unless his Stand is active, so putting DIO into Stand Break status will remove an important aspect of his offense.

Being based on his boss incarnation from Heritage for the Future, DIO still possesses a striking similarity to his playable incarnation, but has many changes due to his boss status. For starters, he has access to his signature Road Roller! Hyper, which deals extraordinary damage for a level 1 Hyper, putting it on par with most level 3 Hypers.

DIO does not have any custom A.I. and will instead use the engine's default; resulting in him randomly summoning The World on and off while sporadically moving and attacking, often dropping combos in the process.
