All-Star Battle R ★ Dio Brando
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.
As the voice of Dio since the Phantom Blood anime, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role for All-Star Battle R. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Dio were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Dio Brando has 800 health and uses the Vampirism (吸血, Kyūketsu) Battle Style, which converts part of the damage he receives from non-Ripple attacks into recoverable gray health. As a vampire, Dio also has access to several moves that drain either health or Heart Heat Gauge from his opponent while restoring his own.

As a successful Counter Hit doubles the damage of only a single initial hit, the damage increase to this HHA is massive compared to most other attacks in the game. Coupled with the attack's speed and range, it becomes an excellent tool for retaliation and punishment.
If this HHA is used to K.O. Jonathan, a special animation will play where Jonathan futilely tries to block the beams and whispers "Erina..." as he falls.
