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

Even after the launch patch hit its EX damage with a hefty 35% nerf, Paco Laburante's The Hustle remains a top-shelf A-Tier brawler. Its 10% passive mitigation, bullet-parry tech, and +50% damage shred against piloted Stands keep it firmly meta-relevant.

Combat Strengths & Counterplay Weaknesses

Pros in Live Matches

• Hard-counters the entire piloted Stand archetype with a massive +50% bonus damage multiplier
• On-demand R-block bullet deflection neutralizes Emperor and Glory Days projectile spam
• Built-in 10% damage mitigation and wall-grip mobility make it a relentless CQC bruiser

Cons & Exploitable Gaps

• Launch balance patch nerfed its EX damage scaling by 35%, curbing its pre-release one-combo delete potential
• Zero disjointed Stand hitbox forces you to fight strictly at point-blank fist-to-fist range
