Additionally, each character has a specific family of Stands they gain bonuses from using. The family a Stand belongs to is indicated by a coloured ribbon in the bottom left corner of its icon. You’ll always want to fill out your first few slots with this family but can be more flexible with your remaining space.
Thefamilies aren’t always apparent without checking the tags or ingredients. Zhu Bajie fits visually with the beastmen the vampire uses and uses a bladed rake that would fit in with the bladed Stands of the Swordsman. The mythical pig’s actual synergy is with dancers.
How To Unlock Swordsman And Moon Goodness
These two have achievements in opposite stats but the strategies for unlocking them are the same.The Muscle’s Strength Growth ability at level threegives level-up rewards in both stats, and then you can pair that with stands that increase stat growth:
All three of these abilities will give faster growth if you canforge equipment with skill cooldown enchantments.
Other sources of these stats can also help you reach the 500 mark.
How To Unlock Fortune Cat and Zephyr
The Fortune Cat and Zephyr can beunlocked on the same run with an economy-focused build.
The easiest way to collect 10,000 gold is by stacking Salaryman stands and their evolutions.
Getting a two-star financial advisor and thennot opening any doorswill quickly pile up the interest until you reach 10,000.
The most efficient path to 180 percent movespeed is through equipment. A single set ofred quality bootscan get you there by itself. Without economy talents, you’ll need tostack blacksmiths to get enough oreby the end of the game. You can use the 10,000 gold you saved up to reroll items for a better chance at crafting boots.
How To Unlock The Vampire
The Vampire requires you to beat the second level of Lava Valley. While this is the only character that is unlocked naturally just by beating the levels, Lava Valley is the hardest area to complete. You’ll likely have theentire rest of the cast by the time you reach this point. This gives you more options for how to approach the level.
Fortune Cat is one of the better choices for the fight. They’ve got good ranged damage on their family stands and a strong endgame from their economy boosts.
The Zephyr is also a good candidate:the boss fight against the Phoenix is best handled with at least 160 percent movespeeddue to its powerful diving attack.
