Explore All Sub Abilities Why Bizarre Lineage Sub Abilities Change Everything
In Bizarre Lineage, your Stand determines your primary damage type and ultimate abilities. But Bizarre Lineage Sub Abilities define your passive identity in combat. Each sub-ability unlocks three unique active moves (T, Y, U keys) plus a permanent passive effect that is always active — even while your Stand is on cooldown.
Choosing the wrong Bizarre Lineage Sub Ability can cripple an otherwise excellent Stand build. For example, Vampire-style players who equip Hamon as their sub-ability receive constant healing, while their opponents using Vampire as their sub-ability are hard-countered by every single Hamon move. Understanding these counter relationships is fundamental to climbing the PvP leaderboard.
Passive Buffs
Sub abilities grant permanent passive effects that activate automatically, like HP regen or damage reduction.
Three Active Moves
Each Bizarre Lineage sub-ability adds 3 new T/Y/U keybind skills that extend your combat toolkit substantially.
Counter Matrix
Hamon hard-counters Vampire. Cyborg's UV move punishes Vampire. Know the counter chart to win matchups.
