Info

Overview

Nocturnus (formerly known as DIO's The World) (DTW) is a non-canon Epic Stand inspired by The World - DIO's Stand featured in Stardust Crusaders (Part 3), and is a powerful, close-medium ranged stand. Despite its mediocre health, its damage makes up for it, which gives it an edge against stands that rely on their high health. It is capable of dealing heavy damage towards enemy Stands with large healthpools. Nocturnus' thematic counterpart is Sol, and similar to Sol, even though it’s a 'The World' variant, it doesn’t have the ability to time-stop despite having a Teleport.

Appearance

Nocturnus resembles The World, though the color scheme changes dramatically. Nocturnus' primary color is black, with sharp fins on its back, puffed or ridged straps across its torso, a elongated, mouthless headpiece, shoulder pads and three claws on each hand. Nocturnus has a mix of neon/matte red accents and luminous, red eyes. Nocturnus has diamond or rhombus-shaped forms in lieu of the heart shapes found on The World.

Attainability

To obtain this stand, there is 2 routes.

Route 1:

• Talk to the Dio (NPC) located outside of the Joestar Manor and receive the quest to obtain Sol
• Finish the quest and you will be automatically rewarded with Nocturnus

Route 2:

• Obtain Evil Fragments as a Rare drop from Loot Crates
• Roll for 5 Rare The World Shards and craft it with Shadow Dio to obtain The World
• Roll for 1 Epic Nocturnus Shard in the Ability Banner
• Craft Nocturnus with The World, an Evil Fragments, and 1 Epic Nocturnus Shard

Passive

Sharpened Claws
