Battle Tendency
Wired Beck first appears trying to prevent Joseph Joestar and Lisa Lisa from reaching his master, Kars. Literally emerging out of a door, he surprises Joseph who first believed him to have ten fingers on his hand, only to later realize that it was part of his power. Wired Beck comes out of the door and confronts Lisa Lisa, who uses her Ripple scarf on him before walking off. Joseph explains that Lisa Lisa has already killed him by exposing him to the Ripple, but before Wired Beck is able to fully question it, the attack takes effect and he dies instantly.

Diamond Records (Android/iOS)

 * Basic Attack String: Wired Beck's basic attack string is a combination of up to five various attacks comprising of different strikes with his arms that are riddled with spikes. In Tactical Battle, this is cut down to only three hits.


 * Blue Skill 1: Wired Beck strikes at an opponent with a chopping motion.


 * Blue Skill 2 (Unlockable): Wired Beck summons a door in front of him to block incoming attacks. The door also deals a small amount of damage to opponents if it's summoned in their place.

 * SP Skill 2 (Unlockable): Wired Beck charges at his opponents with his shoulder, repeatedly ramming into them, dealing multiple hits of damage.
