Walking Heart

Lore

Background

“I will pierce you through!”

The Stand of Hato Higashikata. A Stand integrated into the user’s footwear that allows for the hardening and elongation of the heels. These spikes possess immense piercing power, capable of penetrating stone and allowing the user to anchor themselves to walls and ceilings.

Abilities

Spike Extension

Extend your heels to reach higher surfaces and enable wall and ceiling movement.

With your heels extended, you can walk on walls and ceilings. Watch which way you are facing as you move around an edge.

Cooldown: 24s

Heel Barrage

Rapid-fire kicks with spiked heels.

Cooldown: 23s

Spike Creation / Charge Stomp [HOLD]

Stomp the ground to create a field of deadly spikes. (The spike can then be grabbed and thrown.)

VARIATION: Charge Stomp [HOLD]

Cooldown: 28s

Ground Impale

Target an opponent near your aim to raise a ground spike and impale them. Aims within 14 studs of the cursor; if no target is found, chooses the closest opponent within 10 studs of you. The strike position is fixed when activated, so opponents can jump or dash away during startup. Breaks guards, but can be perfect blocked by facing the incoming spike.

Cooldown: 12s

Moves without written notes

These moves have animation clips but no written description: M1 Light Combo & M2 Attack.

Awakening (EX) moves

Stomp EX [3 Bars]

Stomp the ground and erupt a field of spikes in front of you. (All erupted spikes can be thrown.)

Cooldown: 45s

Impale EX [3 Bars]

Extend your heel to impale up to three opponents, carry them outward, and pull them back. Inflicts bleed for 4 seconds. Breaks guard, but can be parried. A miss retracts faster.

Cooldown: 28s

Figure captions on Stomp EX

The two extra entries in this section are captions for images, not separate EX moves: “Fully Charged:” clips the charged version of Stomp EX, and “Size Difference: (Charged on left)” is a side-by-side comparison of the charged and uncharged spikes. A matching “Size Difference:” image also sits under Spike Creation, comparing that move’s normal and charged stomp.

Ability scaling

What Ability changes

Highest Heels duration scales with ability, from 10 seconds up to a max of 15 seconds. Heel length and other moves remain their fixed values.

How to obtain

Rarity and arrow rolls

Epic can come from a Mysterious Arrow or from a Lucky Arrow, which rolls Epic at 42.5%. The Bizarre Arrow excludes Rare and Epic Stands. These are rarity-level odds, not odds for this exact Stand.

See the Stand arrows guide for the full arrow table, crafting costs and reroll rules.
