Combat Guide
Master PvP and PvE combat mechanics.
Basic Controls
Left Click for basic attack. Q to summon/dismiss Stand. F to block. Space to dodge (has cooldown). E/R/Z/X/C/V for Stand abilities. G for fighting style moves. T for sub-ability moves.
Blocking & Dodging
Hold F to block — reduces incoming damage but you can still be guard-broken. Dodge (Space) has invincibility frames but a cooldown. Never spam dodge — time it for big attacks. Some moves (Kendo Whirlwind) break guards.
Stand Combat
Each Stand has 5-6 abilities on E/R/Z/X/C/V keys. Learn your Stand's combo routes — which moves chain into others. Barrage (E) is always your basic combo. Most Stands have a stun move — use it to start combos.
PvP Tips
Learn your opponent's Stand — know their stun moves and avoid them. Bait dodges before using your combo starters. Fighting style moves (G) are great combo extenders. Sub-ability moves add another layer — Vampire Flash Freeze is one of the best openers.
