**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**
\***Hamon:** Hamon/the Ripple/Sendo is a form of energy that relies on breathing techniques to replicate the power of the Sun. It can be used to enhance physical attributes, heal wounds, and acts as both an offensive and defensive tool. Due to it's solar connection, it has an advantage over creatures weak to sunlight.

* **Hamon Hair Attack:** Joseph uses strands of hair and spikes it with Hamon. This makes each individual strand of hair tough enough to block bullets when thrown in the air, therefore making it a barrier.
* **Sendo Hamon Overdrive:** Hamon releases from Joseph's arm and into whatever he releases it into. It can be used as both a direct and indirect attack, as it has gone from simply transfering into another living being and traveling from one object to another to release from a specific point, such as the string of a wool cap or the bone of Kars.
	+ **Rebuff Overdrive:** Hamon charges into Joseph's elbow, which rejects and knocks away anything that comes into contact with his elbows.
* **Clacker Volley:** Joseph chucks or slings his Hamon-charged clackers into his opponent's direction. It can be used as both a projectile attack or a ranged melee attack.
	+ **Clacker Boomerang:** Joseph intentionally throws his clackers to where the opponent would avoid them or where they would miss. One pair would then attach to an object behind them, while the second pair latches onto the first pair and flings back to the opponent.
* **Hermit Purple:** Joseph's Stand. It is a set of purple, thorny vines that are projected through one of Joseph's arms. It can be extended and latch onto or inside of objects, for example being able to both swing from building to building like Spider-Man or to send the vines inside of a television set. The vines can also gird objects to leave opponents in a bind.
	+ **Psychic Photography:** Joseph can manipulate a camera to take a picture of whoever/whatever he wishes at the exact moment the picture is taken. The photo revealed shows the object he wishes to see, but does not say where it is located. He is also capable of producing live feed of a location from a television set and can create a map of an area from something as little as dust.
	+ **Hamon Transmission:** Hermit Purple can be used as a conductive source for Hamon to travel through. Joseph can wrap himself around with his Stand and fill the vines with Hamon, acting as live barbed wire.
* **Secret Technique:** A supposed technique passed down by the Joestar bloodline, Joseph only uses this as a last resort when nothing else works or gain distance from his opponent **The technique is running away.**
