Magician's Red Stat Breakdown

Magician's Red scores 8/10 in Damage and 5/10 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, Magician's Red sits at 5/10 CC with 9/10 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 4/10 and Sustain 4/10. The low mobility is Magician's Red's biggest weakness — you need to commit to fights carefully since escaping is difficult. Consider pairing with Vampire sub-ability if you need more survivability in longer fights.

Magician's Red is classified as Uncommon rarity and requires 75 Conjuration for Stand Awakening. The relatively low awakening requirement lets you access the awakened moveset earlier than many other Stands.

Common Mistakes with Magician's Red

  • ×Trying to chase opponents without a gap closer. Magician's Red has 4/10 mobility — you lose chases against faster Stands. Use your CC to force fights on your terms instead.
  • ×Queueing into Star Platinum without a plan. Magician's Red struggles in this matchup — bait their key abilities before committing to a combo.
  • ×Using your PvP build for PvE (or vice versa). Magician's Red is rated C in PvP but B in PvE — these are different contexts that may call for different style and sub-ability pairings.
