Types par pouvoir
Les Stands sont principalement définis par le type de pouvoir qu'ils possèdent. Dans un combat, il est crucial pour un manieur de stand de connaître le type de capacité du stand car il découvre ainsi ses faiblesses.

Stands de courte portée
Ces Stands sont connus pour pouvoir infliger des attaques physiques puissantes et/ou rapides en combat à mains nues. En règle générale, la puissance destructrice et la vitesse d'un stand à courte portée se situent quelque part entre A et C. Ils sont également capables de mouvements exigeant une grande précision car leur manieurs les commandent à proximité. Comme faiblesse, ces Stands doivent rester à proximité de leurs utilisateurs, bien que leurs propres pouvoirs de Stand puissent avoir une plus grande portée. Ces stands obéiront généralement à la volonté de leurs manieurs.
L'utilisateur d'un stand à courte portée préfère généralement affronter ses adversaires directement, permettant ainsi à la puissance supérieure de son stand de briller tout en palliant à leur courte portée. Cependant, la plupart sont presque impuissants face à un adversaire hors de portée ou caché.
Un stand étant un stand à courte portée ne signifie pas nécessairement que sa capacité a une courte portée. Certains stands peuvent ne pas être en mesure de s'éloigner de leur utilisateur mais ont une capacité qui influence une grande zone autour d'eux.
Stands à longue portée
Aussi connu sous le nom de Stands télécommandés,[1] ces Stands sont définis par une portée supérieure à la moyenne. Certains Stands à longue portée sont capables d'exister à des kilomètres de leurs utilisateurs, ils sont donc généralement classés A ou B en portée. De plus, le manieur est toujours capable de commander son Stand avec une bonne précision. D'un autre côté, le lien entre l'utilisateur et le support signifie que le fait de blesser le Stand endommagera également l'utilisateur et la plupart de ces stands sont physiquement physiquement plus faibles que d'autres types de supports.
Les manieurs de stands de longue portée exploiteront généralement leur plus grande portée et précision pour organiser des embuscades à leur avantage et tuer / blesser l'ennemi avant qu'il ne puisse riposter. Le manieur sera par contre vulnérable s'il est pris par surprise avec son Stand loin de lui.
Un stand étant un stand de longue portée ne signifie pas que sa capacité a automatiquement une grande portée. Certains stands peuvent voler loin de leurs utilisateurs mais n'affectent toujours que quelque chose de proche avec leurs pouvoirs.
Stands Automatiques
Les stands automatiques sont tous les stands qui ne suivent pas les commandes de leurs manieurs, mais agissent plutôt automatiquement via des instructions prédéfinies. La plupart des stands automatiques sont en quelque sorte séparés de leurs manieurs, et ainsi nuire au stand laissera l'utilisateur indemne, et parfois même inconscient de l'état de son stand. Cependant, il existe plusieurs sous-types de stands automatiques.
Les Stands de Type autopilote à grande distance (遠隔自動操縦型, Enkaku Jidō Sōjū-gata) peuvent parcourir de grandes distances à partir de leurs manieurs sans perdre en puissance. En plus de leurs capacités respectives, ils auront des capacités physiques remarquables, comme une grande résilience. Cependant, la plupart des Stands en pilote automatique à grande distance suivent des instructions simples centrées autour d'une seule donnée, comme la température, et ne peuvent pas s'adapter à la situation ni effectuer des mouvements précis.[2]
Les Stands Posthumes[3] (死んでるスタンド, Shinderu Sutando) sont capables d'exister longtemps après la mort de leur manieur, ce qui leur permet d'agir de leur plein gré. En raison de leur nature, les stands posthumes sont automatiques et, en tant que tels, la portée ou les dommages causés à leur utilisateur ne sont pas pertinents.
D'autres stands peuvent simplement démontrer des pouvoirs automatiques, l'utilisateur ayant besoin d'un minimum d'intervention pour commander son Stand. La capacité d'un Stand peut être liée à une condition sans rapport avec la volonté du manieur, ce qui la rend semi-automatique. Ils pourraient être sensibles et agir seuls sans suivre les ordres de leurs utilisateurs. Dans ce cas, le manieur peut être incapable de le contrôler et éventuellement devenir victime de la puissance de son propre Stand.
Stands indépendants de la portée
Il y a quelques Stands dont la portée a très peu à voir avec leur fonctionnement. Cela s'applique à ceux qui manquent de formes à part entières et sont généralement assimilés dans le corps de leurs utilisateurs; ces Stands sont appelés Types Intégrés ( 一体化型 Ittaika-gata ).
Cette catégorie inclue également des stands avec des capacités liées à l'espace-temps où la portée ne s'applique tout simplement pas.[4]
Materialized Stands
Materialized Type Stands,[5] commonly referred to in the western fandom as "Bound Stands", are those that attach themselves to material objects, such as vehicles or weapons, and essentially become said objects. As a result, ordinary humans are more likely to see them in effect, as the object they are integrated with will showcase supernatural properties. A Materialized Stand is usually featureless but occasionally possesses its own appearance. Moreover, as a rule of thumb, the greater the object the Stand is linked to, the more powerful the Stand is. Unlike Artificial Non-Humanoid Stands, some Users can modify the shape of the bound object (some users may have the ability to change what object their stand is bound to, most notably Wheel of Fortune).
Materialized Stands can be easily mistaken for ordinary objects, allowing their Users to catch their enemies off guard. However, destroying the object will often disable the Stand and leave the User defenseless, if not wounded.
Psychological Assault Stands
This category encompasses Stands whose abilities specialize in attacking either psychologically or spiritually, meaning their primary focus is assaulting the mind of the User's enemies, be it in their thoughts or dreams. The nature of these Stand abilities can be described as the exact opposite of Close-Range power types as they do not require physically attacking to be effective.[5]
Psychological Assault Type Stand abilities will sometimes require certain conditions to be met, but for the most part they are next to impossible to defend against. Stand Users that are able to apply proper tactics that compliment these abilities are said to be invincible.[5] JoJo6251 lists Death Thirteen, Atum and Tenore Sax as examples of this type of Stand.
Foresight Stands
These Stands have the ability to foresee the future and as such are particularly useful for avoiding incoming danger or directing their user to the best course of action. Stands of this nature tend to be very powerful when utilized with other Stands,[5] however due to the nature of Fate in the JoJo series, a certain amount of strategic planning is required for the User to maximize its benefits. JoJo6251 lists Tohth as an example.
Reconnaissance Stands
More literally referred to as "Search and Investigate" types, these Stands have abilities that allow the User to gather information on their surroundings.[5] They can be used as scouts or to directly seek out a specific target. They are generally not as powerful as other Stands and have limited utility in the thick of battle. JoJo6251 cites Hermit Purple and Hierophant Green as examples.
Form Types
Stands can also be divided by appearance into five great trends. They can be either Natural or Artificial, in addition to being Humanoid or Non-Humanoid. A fifth category based on appearance is made to include all Stands that do not fit into either of the previous trends.
Natural Humanoid Stands
These Stands possess a humanoid form with physical characteristics that take on an organic appearance. Their human-like facial features allow them to express emotions. This category encompasses Human Type (人間型, Ningen-gata) Stands who closely resemble people. Although they are usually the size of humans, some Stands can vary in size.
Natural Humanoid Stands are usually able to perform tasks requiring a degree of dexterity, like grabbing something, and if powerful enough, can wrestle and fight using their fists and feet. These Stands would appear more frequently in early parts.
Artificial Humanoid Stands
While also having humanoid-like bodies, Stands in this category will often feature artificial or mechanical nuances that separate them from natural humanoids. Appearances that resemble dolls, robots, cyborgs or androids are applicable here. Their eyes are generally robotic and inexpressive and they lack proper mouths. Although they are usually human-sized, some Stands can vary in size.
Generally, Artificial Humanoid Stands are functionally similar to Natural Humanoid ones and can perform the same physical tasks. In the series, these Stands have progressively replaced the more natural-looking Stands and are now commonplace.
Natural Non-Humanoid Stands
This category features Stands that, while not human-like, are reminiscent of other lifeforms or objects in nature. This includes basic organisms such as animals and plants, but also more unorthodox concepts.
These Stands are considerably more varied in appearance and do not share any functional characteristics. Some animal-like Stands may fight using fangs or claws and some may take the form of a natural element impervious to physical attacks.
Artificial Non-Humanoid Stands
The Artificial Non-Humanoid Stands category groups Stands that look like tools, mechanical objects, vehicles, or other artificial constructs such as clothing. A non-official subset of this category referred to as "Materialized Stands", takes into account non-humanoids that are visible to non-Stand Users.
Because they look like objects, these Stands typically require the User to personally wield them. Unless they are a weapon of some kind, these Stands are not suited for direct confrontation and most of them are especially poor at protecting their respective Users.
However, there are a handful of Stands that functionally act as a suit, directly granting the User greater combat abilities.
Phenomenon Stands
Phenomenon Type (現象型, Genshō-gata)[6] encompasses all Stands that do not fall under the previous four.
These Stands may be formless, manifesting as a supernatural phenomenon, or simply giving the user superhuman abilities. They may also have an appearance so eldritch that it doesn't fit into the natural or artificial categories.
Tentative Types
The following are categories not documented in official media but are often referenced in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fandom.
Colony Stands
Colony Stands are comprised of multiple units, each able to function entirely on its own. The entirety of the colony constitutes a single Stand, and as a result, their power is divided. Similarly, damage to the user is proportional to the population size of the Stand; the higher amount of units, the less damage is transferred when a unit is damaged.
Thanks to their number, Colony Stands can be used to overwhelm an enemy by attacking from multiple directions, the User not fearing damage since as long as even one unit remains, they won't die.
Evolved Stands
Throughout the series, various methods are introduced for altering a Stand's base form.
A select few numbers of Stands have the inherent ability to undergo metamorphosis and evolve naturally, becoming stronger and allowing their user to unlock various forms of the same Stand, referred to as "ACTs". It usually happens to individuals with weak fighting spirit but the strong potential for spiritual growth.
The Arrow is also known for its ability to further unlocking the potential of a Stand, its effects seemingly determined by whether or not the User or Stand is targeted. In the unique case of Killer Queen, it developed a new ability after its User Yoshikage Kira was struck a second time. In Vento Aureo, it is revealed that when pierced by the Arrow, a Stand may evolve into a "Requiem (レクイエム, Rekuiemu) Stand", which possess abilities far above ordinary Stands.[7]
A Stand User may also obtain a new Stand through a process described in DIO's Diary as a way to "achieve Heaven". Although the method isn't detailed, it involves making several souls fuse together with a Stand User, and reaching specific gravity conditions.
In Steel Ball Run, a Stand can gain a new ability if the Saint's Corpse blesses its User.
In JoJolion, the New Locacaca can be used in order to evolve a Stand, through fusion of two stand users. When Josefumi Kujo fused his body with Yoshikage Kira, his Soft & Wet adapted some abilities of Kira's Stand - Killer Queen, creating a new form of the Stand which is possessed by Josuke Higashikata.
Sentient Stands
Although most Stands do not show any personality or simple hints of it, there are Stands who display a full-fledged consciousness separate from their Users. These Stands are able to think, analyze their environment, and converse with their Users, offering advice or commenting on their actions. Their personalities are diverse, but most sentient Stands follow the command of their Users regardless and act to protect them.
Some Sentient Stands qualify as automatic as they do not have Users and think for themselves.
Shared Stands are rare cases where a Stand can have several users simultaneously / overtime, for various reasons. Some Stands naturally have more than one user at the same time (Such as Ratt and Tomb of the Boom), while others were passed on, either because of the stand naturally changing its user or by another phenomenon involving the users.
