Overview[]
Specialities (also known as Fighting Styles and Specs) are non-stand abilities where you pay a certain amount of money to an NPC to unlock it. The NPCs are scattered around the map so it might take a bit of time to find them. Each speciality has its own fighting-style, with Sword-Style and Boxing relying on items that replace Stand punching to access moves unlocked in their respective Skill Trees. Specialities all require their own items to unlock and cost $10,000. Fighting styles are used alongside your stand, each with different properties. Sword Style appears to be for putting pressure and quick damage on enemies close range, Spin focuses on projectiles and long range, Boxing focuses on survivability and defence as well as heavy-hitting moves, Hamon focuses on damage buff and defense, and Vampirism focuses on survivability and damage.
It's noticeable that Fighting Styles after a rework tend to lose on combo potential but gain base strength on their own. (Pluck being an exception)
NOTE: You can reset Specialities in 2 ways. You can either use a Rokakaka Fruit, or talk to Matt (exit of the cosmetic shop where Greed and Fang are) to reset your fighting-style for 3 Diamonds and $5000. Note that resetting Vampirism only removes your Speciality, not your race; you will still be a Vampire and burn in the sun. The only way to turn back into a human without a Rokakaka is by talking to the Jesus NPC. However, removing the vampire race will also remove the vampire fighting style.
You cannot use a Stone Mask while having Hamon or Spin. And you cannot change to either of these with fighting style storage.

List of Upcoming Specs[]
Stand/Speciality Combinations[]
Hamon(Jonathan Joestar)[]
Stands that deal a high DPS (damage per second) and a long combo is a great match with Hamon. If the player owns Hamon Punch, the player's base damage is increased by 25%. With maxed out Hamon Defense, all incoming damage is reduced by 30%. Many stands benefit more from a damage bonus rather than damage assistance.
Stands that work well with Hamon:
- Magician's Red
- Hermit Purple
- Made in Heaven
- Star Platinum: The World
- The Hand
- Mr. President
- Crazy Diamond
- Gold Experience Requiem
- King Crimson
- The World
- The World (Alternate Universe)
- Silver Chariot
- D4C/D4C: Love Train
- C-Moon
- Tusk Act 4
- Killer Queen: Bites The Dust
- Killer Queen
Vampirism[]
Vampirism can work well with most close-ranged Stands, and overall is one of the most aggressive specs in the game. Your increased speed combined with many high-damage, low-windup is counteracted by the lack of combo potential with stands themselves.
Vampire is perhaps the strongest spec on it's own, having a stunning counter that enable you to escape dangerous combos, a pseudo-beatdown combo alongside a powerful healing move (if landed the player regains 45% of their blood bar.) However, it's block break requires some range/planning to use, and it lacks a direct combo extender (such as zoom punch, steel ball/s, or knuckle sandwich. This makes it best used with high-damage, rushing stands, ESPECIALLY those with high m1 damage.
Stands that work well with Vampirism:
- Gold Experience Requiem
- Magician's Red
- Cream
- Purple Haze
- D4C / D4C: Love Train
- King Crimson Requiem
- Gold Experience
- The World
- The World (Alternate Universe)
- Killer Queen
- Killer Queen: Bites the Dust
- Hierophant Green
- Hermit Purple
- Made in Heaven
- Scary Monsters
Boxing[]
Boxing itself can compete with many Stands because of its insane amount of DPS and short cooldowns. Especially good if you have a Stand with high combo potential. It greatly helps in winning neutral engagements and applying pressure to opponents
Stands that work well with Boxing:
- Star Platinum
- The World
- Hierophant Green
- Sticky Fingers
- Crazy Diamond
- Mr. President
- White Album
- Hermit Purple
- Scary Monsters
- The World (Alternate Universe)
- Gold Experience Requiem
- King Crimson Requiem
- Chariot Requiem
- Tusk Acts 1-4
- Magician's Red
- Whitesnake
- C-Moon
Sword-Style[]
Sword should be used as the primary ability, with a Stand serving to make up for its weaknesses (range and durability.) Sword is one of the hardest Specialities to use, as it requires learning combos; however, the range is unmatchable against players that don't see the combos coming.
Stands that work well with Sword-Style:
- Star Platinum
- The World
- Gold Experience Requiem
- Purple Haze
- Silver Chariot
- Scary Monsters
- Six Pistols
- Aerosmith
- White Album
- Chariot Requiem
- Mr. President
- Whitesnake
- Crazy Diamond
- King Crimson
- Made in Heaven
- The Hand
Spin[]
Spin is best used with Tusk, because it buffs damage for all of its moves. Spin should be used with short-distance Stands as a secondary, because of it having defense buff, long range attacks, and combo extending capabilities. The Spin attacks have a chance to hit the opponent twice, which means the damage would be doubled. The only downside to this is its move sets; it's really easy to predict the Spin balls coming and can be blocked.
Stands that work well with Spin:
- Tusk : Act 1-4
- The World
- The World Over Heaven
- Purple Haze
- Made in Heaven
- Mr. President
- The World (Alternate Universe)
- Beach Boy
- Six Pistols
- Crazy Diamond
- D4C/D4C: Love Train
- Whitesnake
- King Crimson
- King Crimson Requiem
- Hierophant Green
- Aerosmith
Trivia[]
- Sword-Style is the highest damaging Speciality.
- Hamon(Jonathan Joestar) and Vampirism are generally interchangeable; a Stand that is good with Hamon will almost certainly work well with Vampirism too.
- For limited times during the year (so far Halloween and Christmas), spec item skins are available for purchase, those being:
- Pluck: Festive Blade, Candy Cane Blade, Candy Cane Sword, Festive Scythe, Cyber Scythe, Cursed Scythe, and Scythe.
- Steel Ball: Peppermint Bell, Jingle Bell, and Eye Of The Saint's Corpse.
- Boxing: Festive Gloves, Boxing Claws, Bone Gloves.
Vampirism Removal[]
- You can set your race back to human and remove Vampirism upon talking to Jesus (if you are a vampire) you will die and respawn as a human without the Vampirism. if you have the Vampirism spec stored it will remove the spec.
- There is no other way besides Rokakakas and Jesus to remove the Vampire race.
