Smooth Operators

Lore

Background

“This is what we’re going to slide. Do it, Smooth Operators!”

The Stand of Dragona Joestar. A colony of four tiny operators that travel on tank treads. Working together, they can slide objects and body features across surfaces, shifting everything from a face’s features to an injury. Their strength lies in careful teamwork rather than direct fighting.

Abilities

Injury Shift / Target Yourself [HOLD]

Lift an injury, healing up to 10/15/20/25% max health with 1/2/3/4 operators. Use again to pass that percentage to another target as damage, or destroy a nearby prop or dropped item. Hold to target yourself. Getting hit or having the transfer blocked returns the injury to its original owner.

Cooldown: 14s

Rearrange

Shift an enemy’ body for 8 seconds. One operator targets a leg, two the eyes, three both, and four add an arm. Legs slow movement, eyes blur vision, and arms weaken damage.

Cooldown: 16s

Anyone’s Weakness

A low kick that breaks guard and briefly blurs the target’s vision.

Cooldown: 24s
