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

Dragona Joestar's Smooth Operators is tragically undertuned for a Legendary pull, offering clever wound-sliding survivability backed by featherweight offense. Unless a major buff lands, reroll immediately unless roleplaying Part 9.

Smooth Operators Key Moveset & Passives

1
Wound Slide
Miniature colony drags recent slash or bullet wounds off vital spots to soften burst damage
2
Feature Scramble
Latches onto a close target's face to briefly disorient aim and reduce hit accuracy

4
Trajectory Nudge (EX)
Redirects a single incoming strike onto an adjacent object or bystander

Combat Strengths & Counterplay Weaknesses

Pros in Live Matches

• Wound Slide damage smoothing helps survive sudden one-shot combos slightly longer than expected
• Cute, canon-faithful Part 9 colony animations with snappy defensive activation frames

Cons & Exploitable Gaps

• Painfully anemic offensive output for a Legendary drop—struggles to kill even basic story thugs swiftly
• Requires point-blank latch range without giving you the poise or stun needed to stay there
