Gameplay Overview
During combat, DIO can use a multitude of different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders. The World possesses great utility, allowing him to effectively battle from most ranges, primarily midrange. Many of his moves utilize his Stand's ability and power to deliver surprise attacks and break through defenses with unblockable moves. Even in the absence of his Stand, DIO by himself has an above-average set of abilities that can still effectively counter a predictable offense, and even steal his opponent's health as per his vampire powers.

His control over time provides uniquely powerful options; not only within his characteristic time stop that leaves the opponent completely at his mercy, but also with the ability to escape combos at the cost of Heart Heat. This way, if DIO has enough Heart Heat, he can both force his opponent to approach and challenge him with the threat of him stopping time, and simultaneously keep them cautious when actually attacking him, as certain combos on their part cannot be guaranteed.

However, DIO has much lower than average health compared to the average character, making mistakes and losing interactions very costly for him. When not in Stand ON, his odd abilities can take some time to fully grasp, and thus he can feel a bit weaker without The World active. Finally, DIO's best combos are of a higher level of execution than most, requiring good practice and familiarity to properly execute. Aside from characters considered better than him, DIO has a natural enemy in none other than Jotaro, as Jotaro has specific means of countering DIO exclusive to him alone that can turn the advantage against him.

True to his character, DIO is a versatile and complex fighter, wielding an impressive variety of abilities and skills, and thus boasting many options for not only offensive but also defensive purposes. Overall, he builds upon a balanced, jack-of-all-trades character archetype, combining his time-stopping powers with vampiric abilities to unleash immense combo damage.
