Emperor in Stand Out – Tier Rank, Moveset & How to Get

Do not let its common Rare arrow rate fool you—Emperor is a bona fide S-Tier monster and the ultimate budget carry in STAND OUT. Its homing kiting kit and Emperor Pulemet nuke shred PvE raids and frustrate melee purists endlessly.

Combat Strengths & Counterplay Weaknesses

Pros in Live Matches

• Absurd value for a Rare-tier drop, outperforming most Legendary and Mythical Stands in live combat
• Effortless kiting melts story bosses, Train Raids, and melee-locked PvP opponents from complete safety
• Emperor Pulemet deals catastrophic burst damage that forces immediate defensive cooldowns

Cons & Exploitable Gaps

• Fragile up close with limited melee peel if a gap-closer slips past your kiting rhythm
• Hard-countered by bullet-deflect mechanics like The Hustle's R-block parry or Catch The Rainbow's barrier

How to Get Emperor & Reroll Strategy

Obtainment Method: Mysterious Arrow, Part 3 Mysterious Arrow, or Bizarre Arrow.
