Joy Division is actually a really fun stand as it has so many little tricks to be exploited like how touching something fixed in position like a roof and yourself with opposite hands can move you on top of that roof, good for escapes when locked up,
And that's not even getting into the delayed activation swaps that can be trained and could be used to teleport the user or someone else back to an object the user has touched, you could smuggle people by tagging them with one hand and an object with the other, hell you could effectively capture villains just by touching them and delaying the swap with a cell. The only problem I can see is if the swap targets reset upon switching stands. Still it's potentially a really useful stand even if it can be considered weak.
It does in fact reset if you switch Stands, which means to use that trick you can't use any other Stand in the meantime.
It's possibly one of the absolute best stands to mimic a Stranger power with
- Memory of Jet's ability is to target a particular location or individual, then isolate the target from the cognition of all other people, to stop anyone from getting access to it. Under the effect of this Stand, all people cannot enter the targeted location out of their own will because the location itself and the ways toward it are excluded from their minds, except Teruhiko himself. When Teruhiko activates this ability to confine Akari Hirai, though he is unaware of his Stand ability, the roof and building gap where Akari is trapped into seem to completely disappear from other people's sights, hence no one ever comes to the roof and looks down to the gap. The effect of the Stand is maintained on an annual basis, as long as Teruhiko still has the will to use this ability.It is suggested that only the person who is guided by Teruhiko can get access to the targeted location.
The stand basically deletes a location or individual from the minds of others, they can't even consider the target. Targeting yourself could let you sneak just about anywhere, but the major problem is it sounds like the stand's effect can linger for an entire year so it may not be the best idea to target people or yourself. Still the best stand for making secret bases that stay secret and inaccessible to all uninvited.
I'm thinking I might keep the year-long minimum even if you switch out the Stand, because otherwise it makes a person Imp+. As it stands, great way to make a secret base and imprisoning people who don't have a power handy for escapes.
It's a time hax stand, a gimmicky one but its replay ability is fairly useful for very obvious reasons. It's definitely the least hax time stand but it's still a really nice stand to have this early. Though I do wonder how its ability to pause and fast forward recorded events it replays effects people being replayed.
It doesn't affect the people involved. Moody Blues can replay the past, but it doesn't make
other people or places replay past actions. It's a perfect Stand for detective work, though, among other things.
Oh now this stand can be just downright nasty as are most affliction causing Stands. The Prosopagnosia it can instil is powerful enough to make its victims see objects like buses as people, that's a pretty high benchmark.
The only weakness is I can't do origami for sh*t, and not for lack of trying.
DIO may have called it the weakest stand but it is absurdly nasty if unleashed in Worm. This is the stand that AMPLIFIES CONFLICT to the point its victims will turn upon their allies, readily damage themselves in their rage and seek to escalate a situation just to cause more conflict. I'd say it's only time to shine would be against a cohesive group of irredeemable villains, otherwise it is just too dangerous due to its nature as an automatic colony stand.
Edit: It does however have great synergy with Taylor as she could probably get bugs to move the Survivor stands around.
Well, the Stand also needs a wet surface to travel over.
Lets hope it comes with the eidetic memory that actually made it so useful, while the deadly empathy via reading the memories of the stand user is ok its secondary ability is pretty great.
"Secondly Takuma can accelerate the learning of any skill by continuously reading a memory of a successful attempt in anything, making himself effectively train himself over and over. It allowed him to learn knife throwing within a short time frame."
It does
not come with eidetic memory and instant recall, in fact, and as my life experience is so far short of crippling injury or near-death experience, both of The Book's powers are a lot less useful in my hands than they were in his. Which is kind of part and parcel to using a Stand that isn't
really your own, but a copy of someone else's. Many Stands are tailor-made for the people who use them in some way, and while some can be used by the SI just as well or even
better than their original users did, the reverse is also true.
heaven's door + Viktor + the book = now all the skills
I don't follow. You can just use Heaven's Door on its own for that, since Rohan gave himself the ability to speak fluent Italian.
