How the letters are used
S is a long chain. A is one extra trial, item or corpse step. B is a single standless corpse merge or the step just before a long chain. C is a normal Arrow roll. D is the Early Access gamepass. Combat strength is not a column.
S tier
Player decision Chase this only after you are willing to keep Whitesnake through C-Moon. It is an obtain chain, not a claim that the Stand wins every fight.
Player decision Start this only when you already have D4C and can keep corpse parts instead of spending them on Tusk or the Skull merges.
Player decision Take the chain if you already have Spin and can run Steel Ball Run. The early acts are cheap in points. The horse step is the gate.
Player decision Bank Gold Experience and use the Requiem Arrow at a high level. Do not treat a failed arrow as a lost Stand.
A tier
Player decision If you roll Star Platinum and want this evolution, stop rolling and open the DIO Trial.
Player decision Keep Killer Queen if this is the evolution you want. The base tree is one of the cheaper Arrow trees.
Player decision Use this as the checkpoint before Pucci's quest, not as a separate random roll.
Player decision Give up your current Stand only when the Heart is the piece you are spending. Whitesnake is the reset if you still have a Stand equipped.
Player decision Stop here if you do not have Spin and a horse plan for ACT 4. The points already spent on earlier acts are smaller than a fresh Arrow tree.
B tier
Player decision Learn Spin before you spend the Left Arm if ACT 2 is the goal.
Player decision A reasonable first corpse Stand if you can reset to standless and you want the Tusk line.
Player decision Read both Skull results before you merge. This tier is the obtain step, not a promise of which Stand the merge returns.
Player decision Same caution as Mandom. The point cost is higher, which matters after you have the Stand, not before the merge.
C tier
Player decision Keep it if you want C-Moon. Do not confuse the Stand with the NPC that deletes Stands.
Player decision Stop spending Arrows if Star Platinum: The World is the goal.
Player decision Keep it for the Jotaro Kujo Trial if that evolution is the plan.
Player decision Hold it until your level makes the Requiem percentage worth the arrow.
Player decision Budget 50 Stand points on top of the player tree. Do not read this C as weak.
Player decision Same obtain chance as other Arrow Stands. The cost shows up when you fill the tree.
Player decision Play the current Stand. Do not farm a Requiem Arrow for a form that is not in the game.
Player decision Look for that outfit if you are staying on Crazy Diamond. The outfit buffs stats. It does not change the moves.
Player decision A smaller tree if you want to spend points elsewhere. Obtain chance matches the other Arrow Stands.
Player decision Treat it as a finished Arrow Stand. Nothing on the current list evolves it further.
Player decision Same roll as the other Arrow Stands. The tree size is mid-pack.
Player decision No extra unlock step. Fill the player tree first, then this 35-point tree if you are staying.
Player decision Useful when you want a finished Stand without a 40-plus point tree. The roll is not more common than the others.
D tier
Player decision Buy it only if you want that Stand without rolling. It does not help you obtain the corpse-part Stands.
