Lore
Background
The Stand of D an G. It disguises itself as something friendly to approach a target, then uses mosquitoes and water to spread its corrosive saliva.
Abilities
A Devil in Disguise / Automatic Stand
Hold E while aiming at someone within 100 studs of the Stand to make it follow them. It follows from behind and stops when watched. Its mosquitoes carry acidic saliva that inflicts Muted on the target.
Repulsive
The Stand itself takes no damage but can be staggered and knocked around. Attackers who hit it at close range get splashed and become Stinky; knocking it away splashes everyone nearby.
Crybaby
If you take damage while piloting the Stand remotely, it cries out and you are staggered for a few seconds.
An Expert Craftsman
Talk to a parked Stand to use its services: craft items from your materials, restore 30 health, or have it polish your boots for Encouraged (+10% damage for 40 seconds). Finished items must be collected within 5 seconds or the materials are not consumed.
Tainted Item
Cooldown: 15s
Have the Stand swallow an item and copy it. Copies of a real Mysterious Arrow or Rokakaka take 60–30 minutes of cooldown before they can be produced again. SSSS Rokakaka and Over Heaven Arrow copies are fakes — using them deals delayed acid damage instead.
Drooling Menace
Cooldown: 12s
Coats the ground or an object in acidic saliva, damaging and Muting enemies who touch it. Contaminated water spreads the acid across connected surfaces. Ability points add +30% pool size.
Treacherous Hoarder
Cooldown: 3s
The Stand swallows nearby items and brings them back; press again to spit them out — or to fire a swallowed throwable, leaving a saliva trail. A heavy hit forces it to spit everything out.
Whispers from Yo-Yo Ma
Cooldown: 15s
Whispers at an enemy in front of you, reducing their damage by 20% for 15 seconds.
Awakening (EX) moves
Impromptu Camouflage [1 Bar]
Cooldown: 25s
Grows a bush to hide in — nearly invisible but slowed. Attacking, sprinting, or taking damage reveals you.
Pestilent Trap [1 Bar]
Cooldown: 10s
Hides mosquitoes inside a throwable (up to 2 traps at once). The trap sprays acid and briefly staggers whoever triggers it. Hitting the object dismantles it.
Hey, What’s That? [1 Bar]
Cooldown: 18s
Points in a direction to draw a watcher’s gaze, opening an opening for the mosquitoes.
Gourmand of Spirits [2 Bars]
Cooldown: 35s
Swallows an enemy’s Stand, disabling it for 10 seconds. Hitting your Stand with a heavy attack makes it spit the Stand back out early.
How to obtain
Stand Arrow
Yo-Yo Ma was announced as a Rare Part 6 Stand on October 21, 2026. A themed side quest (Yo-Yo, What the hell, Ma?!) was added on November 2, 2026 with a very low chance to drop a Yo-Yo Ma Stand Chip as a completion reward.
Rare sits outside the Lucky and Bizarre pools: Lucky and Bizarre arrows exclude Rare; only the Mysterious Arrow can return it.
See the Stand arrows guide for arrow tiers, crafting costs and reroll rules.
Current tier as of the November 15, 2026 check: Rare.
