Introduction
- This article is about Dio Brando's Phantom Blood incarnation, primarily known as "Brando". For information about his Stardust Crusaders incarnation, see DIO.
Dio Brando, the central antagonist of Phantom Blood, the first part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is a tricky rushdown character who utilizes moves that all have the same startup animation that leads to different attacks. Additionally, Dio utilizes Vampirism to steal health and meter from his opponent, giving him even more rewards on hit. Dio’s neutral isn’t very unique, but is nothing to scoff at either, utilizing his faster movement and good normals to close the distance on the opponent quickly and start his scary pressure. He can also utilize "Vaporizing Freeze" and "Frozen in your tracks!" to close the distance, as they can be canceled into his super jump. All of this leads to Dio being great at starting his gameplan.
On offense, Dio is very good at opening up the opponent with his various options. His "KUA!" series starts with a kick that can be canceled into several follow-ups, including an overhead follow-up. His "Vaporizing Freeze" special moves are a bit riskier, but can be set up after a knockdown to mix up the opponent. The move has low and overhead variations, and has the same startup animation as his "Frozen in your tracks!" counter; this makes it tricky to tell which move is being used, especially when the moves themselves can be canceled into his super jump to further mix up his options. Lastly, "How feeble!" is a fast command grab, making it easy to open up a blocking opponent while also stealing some resources.
On defense, Dio can struggle a bit as he does not have a meterless invincible reversal. His only invincible options are HHA, which does deal a high amount of damage, and GHA, which is much slower. Unfortunately, both of these options use at least a bar of meter and are very unsafe, making HHA the only viable option and even then, it is only viable against jump-ins.
- Vampirism: Dio's Style moves are different attacks that steal health or HH Gauge from the opponent, rewarding Dio more for his hits.
- Stone Mask: Dio incurs White Damage whenever he is hit, is susceptible to Hamon Damage, and can only be used in certain stages without completing certain in-game conditions.
- You are a mere dog!: Dio has access to a Super Jump ability that can be cancelled from normals on both hit and block, giving him unique combo extensions and allowing for some situational mix-ups.
- Aerial Chain Beat: Dio can chain his aerial attacks, giving him unique combos and confirms.
Dio Brando is a character who utilizes his vampiric traits to steal Health and HH Gauge while rushing his opponent down. | |

Vampirism
Dio Brando features the unique Vampirism Style, which manifests in attacks that can steal resources from the opponent. What is stolen is dependent on the attack:
- "I'll suck you dry!" is a multi-hitting attack that steals health.
- "How feeble!" is a command grab that also steals health.
- "USELESS, USELESS, USELESS!" is a hitgrab that will steal HH Gauge.
