DIO

Stand User

## Description

*You expected a hale description, but it was me, DIO!*

**DIO**, originally called *Dio Brando*, is a character that appears in *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*, as the main antagonist in part 1 and 3. This version of DIO is the one that appears in the 3rd part. He was an ordinary human, but he became a vampire, with the mask of stone, to dominate the world. In the 3rd part, he gains his stand, **THE WORLD**, with the ability to stop time for a few seconds.

*He wants to dominate the world, literally all the worlds, and he even wants to dominate a world that mixes mercenaries and ponies.*

## Abilities

DIO's main mobility tool is **Super Jump**.

* Activation: **Secondary Attack** (Mouse2)
* Cooldown: 5s

DIO has access to **Weighdown**.

**Main Rage** costs 100% rage. It is activated by the **Medic Call** key (E by default).

After a 2 seconds delay, the time stops, rendering all enemies, buildings and projectiles unable to move or act for 5 seconds. During this time, DIO is completely immune to damage and all damage he deals to his enemies is delayed until the ability ends. Affected enemies cannot be backstabbed while frozen in time.
When DIO uses the Rage, he gains 20 knives in his Secondary weapon slot, which he can throw like Flying Guillotines. These knives only do half the damage of normal cleavers.
Additionally, DIO obtains 1 **Point Teleport**.
* Activation: **Reload** (R)
* Range: 1024 HU

DIO needs to receive 3500 damage in order to get from 0% rage to 100% rage.

On 21st April 2020, 21:21 UTC, Minuette's abilities, class and mechanics have been changed to match DIO, marking his removal.
* On 27th March 2022, 03:43 UTC, DIO was made playable again, and Minuette was reworked to be unique.

### Strengths

* Good mobility with Super Jump. The extra jump height also helps DIO while moving around for better mobility.
* Spy boss, allowing him to go for backstabs and having an easier time while dealing against melee classes.
* His bleed damage on hit can be useful to add pressure and for stacking insane damage on rage.
* Rage freezes everything around the Boss, allowing DIO to go for specific picks or to get multiple kills in groups.
* On rage he obtains throwable knives that helps him on finishing off players, specially if they are not at melee's range.
* A Point Teleport gained on rage which also helps him get closer to players.

### Weaknesses

* DIO has the lowest base damage among the solo bosses, meaning that you will most likely need more than one hit to kill a player.
* Staying in the air for longer time can cause him to take a lot of knockback.
* Buildings. Having a low base damage also means you need multiple hits to destroy a building.
* Medics, Wizards and other classes who can become or help others to be invulnerable or more tanky can counter your Time Stop ability and survive, since its activation isn't instantly.
* Sources of constant and quick healing, such as Mad Milk and Quick Fix, can eventually negate his bleeding's DPS on players.
* Dio's Rage is expensive on his health cost, so it's better to use it wisely according the situation.

### Battling as DIO

DIO is a boss whose playstyle is not based on going to the center where most players are grouped and are along with their buildings and ubers, due to having a low base damage (99) and very counterable bleed damage which makes him suffer against big groups. As DIO is better for going one by one (preferably if they are isolated), so that they begin to disperse and there you have a better opportunity taking advantage of your good mobility. Use your Super Jump very often to get closer to the classes that you consider most essential and easier to get to, since you'll want to avoid groups as much as possible until you get your Time Stop ability.
Remember that you're a Spy hale, so you can take advantage of it while taking care of melee classes such as KGBs and Demoknights with a backstab.
Now, once you have full rage, don't just use it, consider when is the best time to use it to get the most value out of it, as it's expensive. Here are some tips on how to get the most value out of it:
1. If you know that there is a Medic, try to bait his Uber by jumping on him and focusing him down so he uses it, and once he runs out of Uber, use your rage to go for him once he's defenseless. Otherwise, Uber will save him during your Time Stop since players have 2s to react before getting frozen.
2. Once his rage is activated, you will receive and your weapon will be switched to some throwable knives that you can use to deal bleeding damage at range. Well, it's best to use your melee weapon to get kills because that way you're not spending a resource that can be better for you later.
3. During its Time Stop, if you see that a class is very tanky or you want to take care of it at once, taking advantage of the fact that everyone is frozen you can go for a goomba so that, once time runs its course again, they die instantly.
4. Another thing to keep in mind during his rage, when dealing with Shield classes like Demomans and Snipers, it's best to use your Throwables Knives against them so the bleed stacks and kills them in one go, otherwise his Shield would protect them as it would if you hit them with your melee.
5. Remember that **you can't backstab players during your Time Stop.**

The Point Teleport you get from your rage is also useful for getting close enough to players to kill them or even to get a backstab, like for example, to that annoying Sniper that's messing with you at long distance, or to an Engie behind his buildings. Just remember that it doesn't have much range, so it's best to use it at medium range by aiming to the place you want to be teleported at.
### Battling against DIO

When fighting agaisnt DIO, you must always be with your teammates to protect each other, and essentially from medics, since DIO can't kill in one hit at any class, but it also causes bleeding damage, so the medics will they make a bestial counter, as well as with the engies for their sentries and dispensers, since DIO has higher chance to take a lot of knockback because of his higher jump.
When DIO uses his rage, the best you can do is to jump down a cliff (of course without killing yourself when you fall), to jump really high (if you're Soldier or Demo), or to use cloak with Spy, so that DIO has to decide to go after you or let you live, but he loses his time in the process in the case that he decides to focus you. Also being next to a Medic with uber is a good idea since the uber still works when time is stopped, same can be said for Soldier's battalion's backup effect.
