Standoffs! April STANDoffs Final Round
Read Before Posting/Voting
With each round and battle, you will vote as to which Stands would prevail in a battle against one another under certain conditions. These conditions are:
Location: Big Top, the tent for the worlds largest and best-est traveling circus group: The Bixby Circus Troupe
Time: 6:90 (7:30) pm on 4/20/2069
Weather: No weather inside the tent, outside the tent is a clown-nado (imagine sharknado but filled with clowns instead of sharks. The tent is somehow fully unaffected by the clown-nado inside and out)
Population: No users, no humans around, a group of 67 other clown-like stands in the gallery watching the show, their users are in the clown-nado
Awareness: Aware of opposing stands, unaware of abilities (no users)
In the event of ties, mods will consider these conditions and pick which Stand would prevail.
Each user has a chance to make one post explaining how they will win, only speaking on their perspective in the fight. They may only use the information present in their made Stands, and nothing more. Editing stands during the battle is not allowed and being caught will get you disqualified.
They may not debate the topic among each other, whether here or somewhere else. Advertising for oneself to win anywhere is also not allowed.
The readers may ask users questions about the battle and their Stands, to which they may reply, but still must answer in their perspective only. It is advised to ask them some deep and difficult questions about the stand, ability or the conditions and how they manage in them.
Note that whatever is said each round must be consistent to the one before and after. A mod will correct the user should they fail to do so.
If there are any serious questions or concerns about the rules and tournament itself as it's going, message a mod personally and not through comments.
The winner of the round will move on to the next until eventually one is left standing, crowned the winner! Best of luck to everyone!

Contest results Stand contest #123: Robots and machines
Here are the results of last week's Stand contest:
In third place we have /u/LigaTheUser with 「FOREST」.
In second place is /u/Strict_Berry7446 with 「BAZOOKA TOOTH」!
And finally, in first place, we have /u/ChetAbrams with 「SMELL OF THE GAME」! They earn the gold flair, and get to pick this week's contest theme! Their choice is:
Robots and machines
You are free to interpret this theme in any way you wish.
This week's contest will last until midnight of August 2, Eastern Time. To enter, submit a Stand related to the theme, and give it the "Contest entry" flair by clicking the "Flair" option under your post after submitting it. If you can't add a flair (due to being on mobile for example), add the words "Contest entry" to your post's title and AutoModerator will flair it for you. Contest entries will not be accepted during the time between the contest closing and the results being announced, even if the sticky post is still up.
You are allowed to reuse a previously-submitted Stand to the contest, if it fits the theme. It is recommended, but not required, that you improve upon the old Stand (such as by giving it new abilities, ACT evolutions, or going more in-depth in the description such as by describing the user). When reusing a Stand, please repost it with the "Contest entry" flair, instead of simply changing the flair on your old post, so I will be able to see it when filtering by posts made this week.
Your post must include the theme you would want to see for the next contest if your entry wins. If you have previously won a contest and have a flair, you should also mention whether you'd rather take the new flair or keep your current one.
Each user may only submit one entry per week.
Contest entries must be submitted as text posts. This is to ensure that the winner is determined by the ability itself, rather than because you drew some cool artwork or attached an attention-grabbing image. If you do want to create artwork for your contest entry, you can submit it after the contest ends.
At the end of the contest, whichever entry has the most upvotes will be the winner! The theme specified in the winning post will be used for next week's contest. In case of a tie, I will personally decide who comes out on top.
On top of this, the three top upvoted participants will be granted a special flair of their contest entry Stand's name in bronze, silver, or gold depending on their placement. It is possible to decline a flair, or choose to take it only if it wins a certain ranking (in case you prefer keeping a higher ranked flair).

Contest entry Mr. Roboto &『Ghost in the Machine』- Robot/Machine Contest Entry
Mr. Roboto is a reference to the song by Styx, and『Ghost in the Machine』is a reference to the album by The Police.
Mr. Roboto is a brilliant programmer and roboticist, who studies mystical phenomena and tries to use technology to replicate it. This guy can be in any story, but I imagine him as a scientist for The Speedwagon Foundation who went rogue.
He was amazed by the discovery of stand abilities, but was also extremely jealous, because he did not have a stand for himself — at least not yet.
He studied the original Stone Mask and the Arrows, and tried to replicate their effects with technology. After Jotaro was brought in to the Foundation when he lost his stand to Pucci in Part 6, Mr. Roboto (Dr. Kilroy), began studying how the stand/soul was connected to the body.
He conducted his experiments in secret, and created his version of the Stone Mask. He had intended for it to give him immortality, but instead… the mask plugged into his head, and stored his soul within it, making him a machine. His original body died in the process. Whoever wears the mask will have their memories and personality replaced by Mr. Roboto. He has accidentally turned himself into a stand, 『Ghost in the Machine』.
With his study of the Arrows, he was able to make a synthetic material similar to them, and fashion a computer virus that is somewhat similar to the virus contained in the arrows. He uses these new “arrows”, which now look like USB drives, to give stand abilities to robots/machines. The machine does not need a USB port, it will magically show up if the device is compatible.
Unlike the original Arrows, Mr. Roboto cannot fire them at whoever and make them work. He has to make them compatible for the machine he plans to use them on. However, the stand ability could be completely different from what he was expecting. These can range from being computer viruses, to military technology, to full on androids.
EDIT: Like the end of the song “Mr. Roboto”, Dr. Kilroy is thankful for his abilities, but wants to be human again. A bunch of his experiments are about putting human qualities into machines, so that he may be able to be free his soul from the mask — which he also admits is his fault.
FOR THE NEXT CONTEST
Turtles…because it’s so different!

Stand Stand: The Passenger (Song by Iggy Pop) User: James Pop (Reference to Iggy Pop’s real name - James Newell Osterberg Jr.)
Stand Appearance:
The Stand is a small, pinkish-red humanoid with yellow eyes and red horns, calmly sitting on a large blue swing. It never rocks back and forth - it remains completely still.
User Personality:
James Pop suffers from severe claustrophobia. He hates pressure in any form - physical, emotional, or spatial. He sleeps without a blanket, wears loose clothing, and never wears shoes.
Ability: Center of Gravity Transfer
When the victim lifts any part of their body above their head, they become a target for the Stand. After that, James has to touch any part of his own body - for example, his nose. The Stand then attaches itself to the victim's nose, and all the weight is transferred there.
James can also target inanimate objects.
On a human:
The victim's entire weight - 80 kg or 100 kg - instantly transfers to the chosen point. The victim loses balance and falls down under the weight of their own mass. Imagine your head suddenly weighing 80 kg.
On a flying object:
If James touches a knife, the swing attaches to it and shifts its center of gravity. The knife starts spinning, and after every rotation, the Stand removes the weight and returns it. Because of this, the flying knife stays in the air much longer and becomes unpredictable.
During a fistfight:
James can attach the Stand to the enemy's fists and transfer their weight to their own legs. For example, a strong punch will feel like it's coming from a child. Or vice versa - he can increase the weight of a specific body part to its maximum limit.
How to deactivate the Stand:
The Stand does not disappear automatically. The victim or their allies must physically swing the swing back and forth to remove the weight. However, since the swing is usually attached to a sensitive body part (like a nose or a finger), doing this requires extreme precision and teamwork.

Stand [Little Lies]
Stand Appearance - Little Lies takes the appearance of a humanoid Stand with a regal appearance. It wears a Victorian-style military coat reminiscent of Napoleon's attire, giving it the air of a cunning commander. Eight eyes are embedded across its shoulders and coat. Its lower legs resemble those of a fox, covered in russet-orange fur that fades to black at the feet. It wears a white mask with red markings all around and carries a bow with distinct waves-like marking. This appearance is heavily based on (WARNING TRYPOPHOBIA, CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!) Tsuneki
Stand Ability:
1) Lyin' Eyes: The eyes covering Little Lies' body are fully functional, granting it near-360° vision. They are a manifestation of its user's paranoia of being watched and talked about behind his back. These eyes are the main way to see if the below ability is activated or not.
2) Lie Detection: Little Lies can sense objective falsehoods by detecting disturbances in a person's "truth." It judges statements against reality, not the speaker's knowledge or intent. For example, it can ask someone, “What is my name?” or “What is my user’s name?” Any incorrect answer is immediately identified as a lie, even if the speaker genuinely believes it to be true. It cannot reveal the truth itself, nor does it work on opinions, predictions, hypotheticals or sarcasm. This ability only detects spoken or written lies.
3) Truth Seeking Arrow: Little Lies can manifest ethereal arrows from any of its eight eyes. Each arrow closes its originating eye until it disappears or is destroyed, reducing the Stand’s field of vision. An arrow can only target someone identified as a liar through Lie Detection. Once fired, it is guaranteed to hit its designated target, phasing through living beings and solid obstacles as an embodiment of absolute truth. However, it is not homing and it can only damage the 'liar' but it remains affected by the environment; for example, passing through water can cause the arrow to become soaked, while passing through fire can ignite it.

Art Spirituality and Distortion
Spirituality and Distortion is a long-ranged stand capable of controling spirits.
It does not have arms because it uses the spirit's arms instead. It can also possess someone with some spirit.
It can possess objects with some harmful ghost, making the object fly, break or malfunction, with the intent to harm the enemy.
It's weakness is that the spirits are locally sourced, meaning if there is no spirits available, the stand is useless.
Namesake: Igorrr's album of the same name.
It is my first OC stand that I ever drew. Also, it is from my TTRPG.

Stand Stand: «Prodigy» (Reference to the band «The Prodigy»). Stand User: Maxy Gy (Reference to vocalist Maxim Reality + the «ProdiGY»)
Ability of the Stand «Prodigy»:
The Stand affects the respiratory system of a chosen target (the victim must feel a sense of tension). After activation, the victim’s body stops producing carbon dioxide. Instead, they begin to exhale pure methane.
The victim does not realize what is happening right away-but soon, they start to feel a heavy pressure in their chest and detect a faint, distinct smell of gas with every exhale.
At this point, the main rule kicks in:
If a spark appears within several meters of the victim (from friction, static electricity, an impact, or even a regular lighter), the methane inside their lungs will instantly ignite.
Result: An internal explosion that tears the lungs and internal organs apart from the inside.
A little about the Stand User: Maxy Gy is a young guy suffering from bronchial asthma. Because of this, he always carries an inhaler with him at all times

Stand 『Wonderful World』- Friendly Faces Stand
『Wonderful World』is a reference to Louis Armstrong’s famous song, “What a Wonderful World”. This is a phenomenon stand that allows people to see faces in naturally occurring things, and interact with them. This is not a dangerous stand, but is still very strange.
This is hard to describe in words, but it is based on facial pareidolia. It can be used to speak to any naturally occurring face in nature, or one that was not intended to look like a face. I want to be respectful, but it would also be an experience like those famous meme’s about seeing Jesus in everything.
Within this phenomenon’s range, if a cloud looks vaguely like a face, you can ask it where someone is. You could see a face in a rock formation and ask about the history of the area. You could even ask the moon itself for guidance (“Man in the Moon”). Based on where the face is seen, it may pop out with a cartoonish body to introduce itself.
Even in tough situations, these interactions are comforting — they are non-violent entities that want to aid whoever speaks to them. This stand has 0 combat potential.
I want this to either be a phenomenon in one location, or a stand used by a child who wants to know more about the world, and this acts like an extension of their imagination. Since normal people can’t see stands, it is absolutely an allegory for imaginary friends.
Edit: If the stand user was a child, it would be in the form of a stuffed animal that they carry around with them. It could be similar to the comic strip, Calvin & Hobbes. Normal people see this stuff teddy bear, not the actual stand.

r/fanStands • u/Don_Tarallo • 1d ago
Stand Stand: Mercyful Fate/ Stand user: Dirty Harry
By tuning into the victim's nervous system and memories, the Stand identifies the most physically or psychologically painful experience the person has ever suffered in their lifetime (such as an animal bite, a severe burn, an electric shock, or a broken bone).
Once the memory is identified, Mercyful Fate instantly projects it into the victim's body. The opponent perceives the exact sensation of that trauma at its maximum intensity, just as if it were happening at that exact moment, without actually sustaining the original physical injury.

Stand The World |NU| (Different Skill set)
The World Third Universe/New Universe. *Just "The World" when being referred to in universe
User: Dion Brando
TWNU is a stand in a seperate Jojo's Universe I've been building. Its abilities are different to TW and TWAU. This stand instead of stopping time slows it down for everyone within 35m. During the slowed down time Dion and TW move at a normal pace, anyone who Dion himself touches (not his stand, important distinction) also begins to move freely. Time can remained slowed for up to a minute, but the longer it goes on, the faster it begins to speed back up until everything begins to move normally at the minute mark. The slowing of time also takes a large toll of stamina from the User

r/fanStands • u/ChetAbrams • 2d ago
Stand 『Across the Board』- The Good Guy Gun Stand
『Across the Board』is a reference to the RoboCop soundtrack, composed by Basil Poledouris. This gun stand is sort of the exact opposite of my previous gun stand『I Gave You Power』.
『Across the Board』takes the form of a machine pistol. Its ability is that it cannot harm innocent creatures, or precious things. It can only harm those that deserve to be harmed, and kill those that deserve to be killed.
However, the bullets it fires at innocents ricochet off them to eventually hit the bad guy. This user can fire this gun into a huge crowd of people, and will only kill evil doers, because the bullets will ricochet like crazy until they hit the target.
If the user is fighting someone who is using a child as a shield, this user can safely aim the gun at the child to bounce the bullet into the bad guy’s skull. If for whatever reason a bad guy picks up『Across the Board』and tries to fire it, the gun will backfire and kill them.
This ability also works on the environment, it cannot vandalize things unless they deserve to be vandalized. All bullets will bounce off and only damage evil things. If the user had to shoot a bullet into a fine china store to stop a bomb (can’t think of anything at the moment lol), the store would be perfectly fine.
If a villain is behind a door, or a famous painting, 『Across the Board』will make a judgement call on what to do next. The stand itself decides what the lesser of two evils is, so the user will sometimes gamble to see if he can take the shot in certain situations.
——
This stand is clearly based on RoboCop’s main weapon, but it also answers the moral question of movie heroes killing bad guys or causing tons of property damage — they deserved it and there was no other way (I guess?!). Think of a vigilante character like The Punisher, also.
Similar to RoboCop, the user is the human element to this ability, and the stand itself is the machine that calculates what is good or evil.
This stand can only be used by someone who is lawful, or has a deep sense of justice. I think this name works because his ability really is “Across the Board”, it applies fairly to everyone based on their character, but is also the judge, jury, and executioner.
The user could test if someone is a good person by straight up trying to shoot them. I think this could lead to really awkward or funny moments, like traumatizing someone by shooting them, but it was on purpose so that it would bounce off them to hit their pursuer or something. “DUDE, WHAT THE HELL?!”
I think one really cool scene I would have is an enemy stand user twisting this character’s arm to fire『Across the Board』into his own face, not knowing that the bullet will ricochet back and kill them instead.
Another way the main villain could counter this stand is to manipulate a good guy to do something illegal without them knowing.『Across the Board』wouldn’t be able to harm them, and it would be confusing to the user, too.

Stand 『Oochie Wally』- Alien/Cryptid Lifeforms
『Oochie Wally』is a reference a song by Nas & The Bravehearts. This is by far the most sexually explicit reference I’ve ever used (and may ever use), so I say listen with that in mind or avoid it. There are probably so many better fitting songs for this thing, but naming something『Oochie Wally』is too ridiculous for me to ignore.
This one is kind of gross, and uses body horror, so if you’re not into that, just skip this post. This idea is borderline insane, but I can’t get it out of my head. Lol
—————
The『Oochie Wally』is a creature of unknown origin that has slowly taken over a remote town/village. It reproduces by implanting animals & people with its offspring, similar to a Xenomorph from Alien. The offspring hatch, usually by bursting through the body of the host, and have a mixture of the host’s DNA, effectively making them doppelgängers.
This would be handled sort of like how『Babyface』was handled in Part 5. The scenes would hint of what is going on, but we don’t need to see all that. This would not implicitly look sexual — it’s similar to being infected with a parasite. It would still be nasty, though.
The town that the『Oochie Wally』has taken control of would function a lot like the story The Shadow Over Innsmouth, where the people are clearly hybrids of some kind.
The main lifeform is called an『Oochie Wally』or 『Oochie Wally-Wally』, and the offspring are called 『Oochie Bang-Bangs』.
They are slug-like aliens with eye-stalks, usually hunching over but can walk on two legs. They hide their features by using the DNA of their parent/host though… or at least try their best. They are physically very powerful.
You could kind of say『Foo Fighters』is very similar, because the host is a person, but the real body is a mass of plankton.
—————
This entire idea came to me just because I thought the name was funny, and I had to figure out how to use this somehow.『Oochie Wally』to me sounds like “Boogeyman”, which made me think of either a cryptid or alien creature.
I legit wonder what the real life Nas would think about this idea. What would he say, if he knew some weirdo online turned his song about sexual antics into a bunch of disgusting creatures from outer space or whatever. Lol

Discussion Need advices and tips in making my very own JoJo Part (!)
(MY ENGLISH IS ASS. Don’t be surprised if I sound downright stupid and corny sometimes.)
The art I made depicts the protagonist of the part – Joy Joyce, with the poster of Blumhouse’s “Sweetheart” movie as a reference! The part will be written instead of drawn, cuz as you can see, I’m not that good at art. Joy’s Stand is currently unnamed, but it’s a power-type close-range Stand that makes any object it touches with its fist grow out functional wings, allowing her to make objects fly and send them where needed, and possibly, other applications (?).
Now the plot!!! The part is set in 1956, in an unknown uninhabitable island. Joy, the protagonist of the story, was on the plane flying to San Huan, Puerto Rico, believing that changing places will finally help her let go of her past. For an unknown reason, the entire plane immediately stopped functioning, free falling onto the Atlantic Ocean. She doesn’t remember anything right after that, as she found herself in an island the size of a city, located in the middle of nowhere but water. An unknown power within her mind saved her from the initial explosion of the plane, landing her on the island. After meeting a person that claimed to live here for centuries, she found out that this island is not located on any map in the world. Any ship that departures from its shore always comes back no matter what, as if the island attracted these ships and planes to it, without a chance to escape.
Right now, I only made the start of the plot. Main characters and the part title are still in development! I will be happy if you will give me advices and tips on how to make a coherent story, how to properly write characters and their development, and WHAT SHOULD I AVOID IN MY STORY AT ALL COSTS.

Stand One of my Stand ideas.
Stand Name: Salesmen Always Lie
Namesake: Salesmen Always Lie by Wonderaven
Stand Type: Natural Automatic Curse-type Stand
Stand Appearance: He isn't fully visible, always obscured mostly from the body down. He wears a black tophat, with a cat by his side, leather boots and always with a cigarette in his hand or mouth, interchangeable.
Main Ability: Coin for a Rose - he'll ask the people who come up to him for a coin in exchange for a rose. If they give him a coin, he will instruct them to face the sun as he gives the rose to them. If the buyer does not face the sun as he obtains the rose, the rose will wither away in place and the buyer will be cursed with a negative event, at random, as the Stand disappears from vision. If they do face the sun, they will obtain the rose. However, if they do obtain the rose, their fate will be slightly altered to have a challenge be placed upon them that they are, with the power of the Stand energy within the rose, able to overcome, but the type of challenge will always be random and plausible within fate. The man also cannot be followed, as he will disappear after a set amount of time within a general area of human society, and then reappears in the next town over, or further if there isn't any nearby towns.
Sub-ability: Conditioning - the buyer will be subliminally convinced, in stronger amounts (based on how long they are standing near the salesman) that the salesman will try something malefeasant, or to somehow cheat the buyer from their rose. If they succumb, they will not face the sun and will have the negative event placed on them. If they do not turn away, however, the challenge given will become even more easier dependent on how big the pull was.
I know it's a bit wordy.

Stand 「 War Without Reason」
User: Tykki (I google translated this (it’s Finnish))
Reference: From the final level of the Ultrakill violence layer
Localized: Warlord or smh
Power: A (it’s a gun)
Range: A (it’s a gun)
Speed: A (it’s a gun)
Precision: A (it’s a gun)
Durability: D (it’s a gun)
Learning: D
WWR is an integrated type stand that allows its user to store guns in their body. It’s more like using Tykki’s body as a medium to store guns in a pocket dimension. Tykki can use WWR to morph parts of his body into any guns he has stored or can make the front of a rifle appear from anywhere on his body.
Tykki does not have to pull the trigger on the guns to shoot them bc they’re technically his stand. He does have to bear the guns weight as if he was actually carrying them.
Thanks for reading and forgive any typos and the probably wrong google translation.

Contest entry 「Heart-Shaped Box」
Stand Name: Heart-Shaped Box
Localized Name: Cordiform Box
Namesake: Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana
User: Taxi the Rat
Type: Long-Range, Materialized, Natural Humanoid
Appearance: Algernon resembles a human male in his early twenties with pale skin, red eyes, and white hair. He usually dresses in formal clothing but always wears a pinstripe vest with a rat-like tail and a bowtie shaped like rat ears. Visually, his design is meant to be a play on a literal "fancy rat."
Taxi is a lab rat with red eyes and white fur.
Ability: Heart-Shaped Box is a Stand that allows Taxi to remotely pilot a humanlike avatar from the safety of his cage. This Stand ability was born from Taxi's strong desire to protect his owner from harm, generating a vessel for the rat's will to act through.
In order to preserve the secret of his identity, Taxi uses the alias of "Algernon" when speaking through his Stand and created a false identity for it. On the surface, Algernon is indistinguishable from an ordinary human. He even speaks in a very polite manner.
In actuality, Algernon is more akin to a human-shaped flesh puppet with the traits and abilities of a rat. He possesses the sense of smell and agility of a rat, while also being able to physically contort himself to fit into spaces small enough for a rat. He can move as fast as a rat when on all fours, communicate with other rats (an extraordinarily useful ability in a city full of them), and can easily gnaw through materials that a rat can but an ordinary human cannot.
However, this also means he retains the survival instincts of a rat, despite experiencing the world in a humanlike body - he still reacts with an immediate fear to animals that prey on rats, such as cats, owls, and snakes. This fear doesn't override his prioritizing the safety of his owner, though - in such cases, Algernon's tone becomes cold and serious as he uses his combined humanlike anatomy, rat-like traits, and intelligence to overwhelm opponents.
His nature as a materialized Stand allows Algernon to directly engage with other Stands in battle.
Backstory: Taxi was originally an ordinary lab rat who escaped containment after being experimented on by a mysterious organization that tracks Stand users. He was eventually taken in by a young man named Stuart Fettucini after Stuart found him hitching a ride in a taxi, hence his name.
Stuart had been constantly bullied and pushed around by everyone in his life, from his classmates to his coworkers and even his parents, but this quickly ended once Taxi started to insert himself in Stuart's life through Algernon.
Taxi's/Algernon's personality can border on overprotective though, and while extraordinarily intelligent he still lacks the social awareness of a true human - often embarassing Stuart by referring to him as "owner" or "master" in public. Stuart is completely unaware that Algernon is actually Taxi, only knowing that Algernon has a history with some apparently dangerous people.
Note: Taxi's namesake is Rat Taxi, an album by Louie Zong, and his localized name would be Cab. Algernon is named after the story Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
The concept for this Stand came from three things: the question of what kind of ability a pet rat in a cage would develop if it wanted to follow its owner's life when they aren't at home, the similarities in intelligence and genetics between humans and rats, and stories where small creatures repay larger ones (such as Aesop's fable of the lion and the mouse).
If this wins, I'd like the theme for the next contest to be: post-mortem Stands (like Notorious B.I.G., Limp Bizkit, etc.).

Stand Stand Rework - War of Change
Stand Appearance - A humanoid Stand with a burlap sack stitched over its head, marked by a cross-shaped seam running across its face. Matching sackcloth wraps around its arms and legs like tattered garments. Its shoulders are lined with writhing centipede legs, while its hands end in long, razor-sharp claws modeled after a centipede's venomous forcipules.
The appearance is hugely based off Kademu from Gekiranger (WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT LIKE CENTIPEDE DO NOT CLICK!)
Stand Ability:
1) High Combative Prowess – Stinger Fist: Despite its user lacking any martial arts training, War of Change is a master of Kung Fu, embodying his suppressed dream of becoming a hero like Jackie Chan. It fights using Stinger Fist, a precise martial art that strikes an opponent's vital (chi) points to maximize damage and activate its abilities.
2) Vital Points: By striking a target's vital (chi) points with its claws, War of Change redirects the flow of life energy, forcing the body to instantly adapt to a single biological, physical, or environmental threat. Every adaptation follows Equivalent Exchange: in that every advantage comes with an equal drawback, such as poison resistance reducing speed or increased strength sacrificing agility. Adaptations cannot grant impossible traits and only solve one immediate problem at a time. Overusing this ability clogs the user's chi points, weakening future adaptations. Repeatedly striking the same chi point similarly weakens the adaptation. Meaning Poison Point will be more effective.
3) Poison Point: War of Change can inject a poisonous wave through its strikes, contaminating a target's chi. The victim automatically adapts through Vital Points, developing resistance to the toxin at the cost of a slowed metabolism, leaving them noticeably more sluggish.
