King Crimson Stat Breakdown

King Crimson scores 9/10 in Damage and 6/10 in Combo potential. This puts it among the hardest-hitting Stands in Bizarre Lineage, capable of deleting opponents in short combo windows.

For crowd control, King Crimson sits at 7/10 CC with 2/10 AoE coverage. The moderate CC gives you some control tools but you may need to rely on your fighting style for additional stun or grab options.

Mobility is rated 8/10 and Sustain 3/10. High mobility makes King Crimson excellent at chasing down opponents or disengaging from unfavorable fights. Consider pairing with Vampire sub-ability if you need more survivability in longer fights.

King Crimson is classified as Legendary rarity and requires 110 Conjuration for Stand Awakening. The relatively low awakening requirement lets you access the awakened moveset earlier than many other Stands.

Common Mistakes with King Crimson

×Over-relying on raw damage and forgetting to block or dodge. King Crimson hits hard but can get punished if you play too aggressively without confirming hits first.
×Queueing into Made in Heaven without a plan. King Crimson struggles in this matchup — use your mobility to disengage and wait for cooldowns.
×Using your PvP build for PvE (or vice versa). King Crimson is rated S in PvP but C in PvE — these are different contexts that may call for different style and sub-ability pairings.
