Overview

Killer Queen: Bites The Dust, is a Stand obtained by using a Requiem Arrow on Killer Queen. This stand belonged to Yoshikage Kira, the main antagonist of JJBA Part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable. He obtained the ability "Bites the Dust" after being stabbed by The Arrow the second time. The ability gave him access to a 3rd bomb which re-winded time by an hour every time the victim exposed his identity and killed all those who learned it.

Killer Queen: Bites the Dust is a humanoid cat that emits a purple-black aura. It features a crack on its face from the damage it took in its final battle with Josuke's Crazy Diamond. It also features Stray Cat, a separate stand that controls air, stowed away in its stomach chamber. Instead of red eyes, it has glowing pink eyes with white pupils.

This Stand is most commonly paired with Hamon thanks to it's easy to use nature and damage increase. Boxing and Vampirism do make their appearances from time to time due to how bulky Boxing makes you, and Vampirism's Vaporization Freeze Counter.

Like it's pre-evolution, Killer Queen: Bites The Dust possesses a unique, offensive niche. All of it's unique abilities are unblockable while ragdolling and most Stand Crash the opponent. Sheer Heart Attack is an indestructible summon that will relentlessly pursue it's target, so long as no one else gets in the way.

However, while the Stand has many unique qualities, it has multiple flaws to compensate for it. Unlike other Stands, Killer Queen: Bites The Dust's attacks are very vulnerable to invincibility frames thanks to the fact that they need to loop in order to play the game. This is most apparent with Sheer Heart Attack, who is commonly Time Skipped or stand jumped away from, resulting in no damage. The same applies for counters and damage redirection. All of it's attacks are cancellable, making it difficult to utilized in close combat. Bites The Dust looks good on paper, but it has an overly long startup to the point where dying while using it is common. It's immense cooldown prevents it from being of much use in any regard, even if your opponent doesn't walk out of it. Speaking of which, for a move with one of the longest cooldowns in the game, Bites The Dust does not deal enough damage nor heal enough HP to warrant it's cooldown (worse yet, it can be dealt with by Return to Zero, by far having the longest cooldown of any move affected by it). Killer Queen: Bites The Dust has one of the costliest skill trees in the game, costing 63 skill points in all.

Total Skill Points: 63 Points

U - Bites the Dust: Killer Queen and it´s user will initiate a pose for about 4 seconds. After an initial 2 seconds, the user becomes invulnerable and everybody that's in close proximity will be frozen. The user then activates Bites the Dust, dealing 77.7 damage and rewinding time to 20 seconds. This has no upgrades and will revert anyone who was exploded back into the position they were in 20 seconds ago, along with the user, who additionally restores 20% of their max health. This move can be used in hitstun, such as barrages. Bites the Dust will not activate when nobody is in the explosion's range.
