Introduction
Avdol is an Egyptian stand user from part 3 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Stardust crusaders. Wielding Magicians Red, Avdol is a Jack of all trades character with an answer for most situations. In user mode, Avdol has an adequate array of tools for playing the mid-range game, including his long-reaching JM, JH, 5H, 2H, Projectile, and Whip specials. Thanks to his heavy whip, Avdol can meterless my transition into Stand mode, giving him relatively high damage meterless combos that build anywhere from .5 to a full bar to use on the next hit.
In stand mode, Avdol gains some new tools and great buttons, such as 5M, 5H, JH, and 2L, which is his longest low poke. Here his fireball becomes a tracking orb to start or extend combos, an actual DP with invincibility, a series of slashes that start combos, and a high-risk high-reward parry strike that can lead to 60-70% damage. Both his Orb and 22X are key to his Oki game, where one wrong block or read can lead to Avdol's dangerous combo game
That said, Avdol’s flame doesn’t burn the brightest in some areas. No command grabs or command normals means he must rely on a strike throw mix pressure that can become predictable. He also can only contest against characters string in their craft; he can’t hold a candle to a zoner or stop fast rushdown focused character as they’ll easily out maneuver him. If you enjoy a shoto with a wide assortment of tools and solid Oki gameplay, your 4 wishes have been answered.
- Burn: Together with Esidisi and Koichi, Avdol's one of the few characters who has access to Burn damage. While it's not a huge part of his kit, it adds a little bit of damage over time on a lot of his moves.
- Setplay: "Crossfire Hurricane Variation" is a delayable projectile that can be set up after a knockdown, granting Avdol flexible oki and setplay capabilities.
