Purple haze Distortion

Non-evolvedEvolved

Description

Purple Haze is a berserk stand that cannot be controlled by the user other than materializing and dematerializing it. It attacks any nearby mob and its attacks will hurt the user if caught in the crossfire. It is best to summon it then run.

Purple Haze: Distortion is a more calmed-down and controllable version of the stand, it is the evolved version of Purple Haze. It is evolved by right clicking it with any flower after defeating a stand user 5 times.

It is a toxic close-ranged stand that uses a flesh-eating virus smoke as its main ability.

Both stands are very oppressive and are the only source of the Purple Haze Poison which is a status effect applied from a significant amount of their moves.

Notes

Purple Haze and Purple Haze: Distortion have a VERY different playstyle and skill with one will not translate to skill with another.
