Dio Brando (ディオ・ブランドー, Dio Burandō) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought along.
As the voice of Dio since the Phantom Blood anime, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role for All-Star Battle R. Like with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Dio were either added or re-recorded.
Dio Brando has 800 health and uses the Vampirism (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Phantom Blood.

Special Interactions
When Dio defeats Jonathan Joestar with his Heart Heat Attack, Jonathan attempts to block the laser attack with his hands, as he does in the original story.[5]
When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Dio closes his right eye and the right half of his mouth, as he does when Jonathan splits his head in half during their climactic battle.[6]
When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Dio clutches both sides of his head and closes his right eye and the right half of his mouth, as he does when healing his head after the aforementioned attack.[6]
Dialogue
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Dio has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Your Stand was surprising at first, but now I know it's nothing to fear! (Sutando ka... honno chotto odoroita ga jissai tashikamete mite mō mondai de wa nai!)
スタンドか…ほんのちょっと驚いたが実際たしかめてみてもう問題ではない！
