Stand Out Hermit Purple: How to Get It and Its Moves

What is Hermit Purple in Stand Out?
Hermit Purple is the Stand of Joseph Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders). Thorn-covered purple vines come out of his hands. In Stand Out they let you bind opponents, swing between buildings and channel Hamon, and their spirit photography can show distant players and places.

| How to get | Billy's quest (Standless, Jonathan Hamon equipped) |
The card also appears in the official Evolution/Quest list, which fits a quest reward more than an arrow roll.
How do I get Hermit Purple?
Hermit Purple is a quest reward, not an arrow roll.
Requirements
- You have no Stand equipped.
- You have Jonathan Hamon equipped.
The quest: Obtain Hermit Purple! (from Billy)
- Defeat DIO (0/1).
- Use Life-Giving Overdrive on plants 15 times (0/15).
- On completion you receive Hermit Purple.
From the official updates: on 5 October Billy gave a short quest that grants Hermit Purple if you already have Hamon equipped, and on 13 October the notes said Billy still unlocks it for Hamon users after Hamon training and paths were added. A fan wiki note also says Hermit Purple training now equips the Stand right away (6 October), which is not on the Trello and is not yet confirmed.
The Billy NPC card on the Trello also says interacting with Billy gives you Hamon, and Lisa Lisa's Hamon training and paths came in the 13 October update. Which exact step grants Jonathan Hamon is not yet confirmed. The Hermit Purple card itself links to a quest called Bill's Request, which does not match Billy's quest, so the quest name is not yet confirmed either. See also how to get Stands.
What are Hermit Purple's moves and cooldowns?
Cooldowns are the base values on the official Trello. The fan wiki lists the same numbers.
| Move | What it does | Base cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| M1 combo and M2 | Basic attacks. Animation clips only, so damage is not listed | n/a |
| Hermit's Sling / Swing (tap) / Pull (hold) | Tap to catch a high surface and swing forward, hold to pull toward your aim. Press Jump for extra lift. No cooldown outside combat | 5s |
| Boulder Hold / Pull Rock / Throw | Pull a rock from the ground. While holding it, basic attacks are slower, heavier and stun. Use again to spin with hyperarmor, then throw it | 24s |
| Spirit Photography | Pick a player from the leaderboard, then smash a camera to develop a photograph of them and their surroundings | 15s |
| Hermit Grasp | Lash out with your vines, pushing nearby enemies out and then pulling them in. Bypasses guard and briefly stops blocking without damage | 8s |
EX (awakening) move
| Move | What it does | Base cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| Hermit Grasp EX (1 bar) | Aim at an enemy and bind them from afar with your vines. Interrupts flight and reels them toward you, bypassing guard without damage | 16s |
Damage numbers are not yet confirmed. Neither source lists them.
Tips for playing Hermit Purple
- Plan your Stand swap first. The quest needs you Standless. Store your current Stand at D'Arby's Stand Storage first so you do not lose it for good.
- Count your plants. The quest needs 15 uses of Life-Giving Overdrive on plants as well as one DIO defeat.
- Use Hermit's Sling for travel. Tap to swing between buildings, hold to pull yourself toward a point. It has no cooldown outside combat.
- Grasp breaks guards. Hermit Grasp pulls enemies in without damage and briefly stops them blocking, so combo into your next hit.
- Spirit Photography needs a camera. Pick a player from the leaderboard, then smash a camera to develop a photo of them and their surroundings.
A Hermit Purple rewind issue was fixed on 19 October and a soft lock around 3 October, so patches may still change it.
FAQ
How do I get Hermit Purple in Stand Out?
Do Billy's quest called Obtain Hermit Purple!: defeat DIO once and use Life-Giving Overdrive on plants 15 times. You must have no Stand and have Jonathan Hamon equipped. Billy's quest is on the official Trello and the fan wiki, but the Hermit Purple card itself points to a quest called Bill's Request, so the exact NPC name is not yet confirmed.
Can I roll Hermit Purple with an arrow?
No. The fan wiki says it is an Evolution Stand, not an arrow tier, and the official card gives only the quest route. Use the quest instead. For arrow Stands see how to get Stands.
What rarity is Hermit Purple?
It has no standard rarity tier. The fan wiki lists it as Evolution, and the official Trello keeps a copy of its card in the Evolution/Quest list (the Stands (Arrow) list also shows a copy). See the tier list.
Do I need Hamon to get Hermit Purple?
Yes. The quest needs you to be Standless and to have Jonathan Hamon equipped as your sub-ability. The 13 October update added Hamon training with Lisa Lisa, then you pick a path, and the same update says Billy still unlocks Hermit Purple for Hamon users.
What happens to my old Stand?
You must be Standless to take the quest. To lose your current Stand you can eat an Emerald Roka, which also needs Hamon or Vampire, and you can store a Stand at D'Arby's Stand Storage first. See how to get Stands.

Stands
Stand Out has 43 Stands you can get now, plus 19 more that are in testing, being reworked or not yet confirmed. The rarest are the Pinnacle tier: Star Platinum, The World and King Crimson, plus the evolved Star Platinum: The World and The World: Alternative Universe. Rarity follows the official Trello, and the in-game Archive is the final word.
Tier list
Stand Out has 43 Stands in the game: 5 Pinnacle, 7 Mythical, 9 Legendary, 11 Epic and 5 Rare, plus 6 newer Stands with no rarity yet. The Pinnacle tier is Star Platinum, The World and King Crimson, plus the evolved Star Platinum: The World and The World: Alternative Universe. The developers say there is no single strongest Stand, so this list ranks rarity and not power.
How to get Stands
You get your first Stand by finishing the tutorial and using the Stand Arrow it gives you, then reroll with Mysterious Arrows. Lucky Arrows have a 1.5% chance of a Pinnacle Stand and Bizarre Arrows have 4.4%, and both skip Rare Stands.
Codes
There are 4 Stand Out codes active right now: RELEASE (3 Mysterious Arrows), THANKYOUHUGERELEASETHANKS, HUGE100K and 50KLIKES. The newest is 50KLIKES; the three newer codes work in new servers only, and the next code is due at 100K likes.
Stand Evolution
To evolve a Stand in Stand Out, use an Opal Roka on Star Platinum or The World: each try has a 10% chance to swap to Star Platinum: The World (SPTW) or The World: Alternative Universe (TWAU) and a 10% chance to wipe your Stand. Those are the only two evolutions in the game right now.
