Tusk Overview in A Bizarre Run
A Bizarre Run Tusk is one of the most anticipated Stands in the game. Based on Johnny Joestar's Stand from Steel Ball Run, Tusk brings strong damage and combo potential to the battleground mode. As of the current build, only Tusk Act 1 is referenced in the game's Stand lineup, with the higher Acts confirmed for a future update rather than being obtainable right now.

Tusk Act 2 and beyond cannot be obtained in the current version. Acts will be added in an upcoming update, so avoid any guide or trade claiming to unlock higher Acts today.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Stand Name | Tusk (Act 1 referenced) |
| Strengths | Great damage, strong combo potential |
| Weakness | Easy to predict in PvP |
| Higher Acts | Coming in a future update |
| Best Mode | Battlegrounds combat |
Stand Tier List: Where Tusk Ranks
Tusk Act 1 sits comfortably in the upper-middle of the current meta. It rewards players who can chain attacks creatively, but experienced opponents can read its predictable patterns. Here is how the rest of the roster compares:
| Stand | Strengths | Drawbacks | Tier Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tusk Act 1 | Great damage, combo potential | Easy to predict | ★★★★ |
| Gyro / Spin | Great damage, great combos | Very hard to obtain | ★★★★★ |
| Sandman | Great speed and damage | Only good for racing | ★★★★ |
| Star Platinum | Great damage and abilities, easy to learn | Common pick | ★★★★ |
| Anubis | Low cooldown, high damage, easy combos | Low skill ceiling | ★★★★ |
| Mr. President | Good support | Not usable for racing | ★★★ |
| The Sun | Good burn and range | Recently nerfed | ★★★ |
| AOU Come Nova | Ability damage, crazy combos | Requires practice | ★★★★★ |
Tusk Act 1
- High burst damage
- Strong combo starters
- Predictable against veterans
Gyro / Spin
- Best overall combos
- Seven-quest unlock chain
- Worth the grind
Star Platinum
- Beginner friendly
- Balanced damage and abilities
- Fast to learn
If you main Tusk Act 1, mix up your combo timing. Its main weakness is predictability, so vary your opener between nails and movement tools to keep opponents guessing.
How to Unlock Gyro and Spin (Tusk's Best Rival)
Since higher Tusk Acts are locked behind a future update, many Tusk fans pivot to Gyro/Spin, the closest playstyle in the current game. Gyro is located near the spawn point as soon as you enter the game. Completing his quest chain unlocks one of the strongest Stands available.
Find Gyro at Spawn
Head to Gyro's position near the spawn area. Interact with him to begin the quest chain.
Hold Slipstream
Maintain a slipstream for 15 seconds during a race stage.
Finish Stage One
Complete a stage one attempt or higher on any run.
Recover the Steel Ball
Find Gyro's steel ball randomly spawned in stage one, then return it to Gyro.
Prove Yourself in Stage Two
Defeat 10 players in stage two, locate the diffused pen bomb dropped by the bomber after the second checkpoint, and return to Gyro to claim Spin.
Finishing all seven Gyro objectives grants the Spin ability, widely considered one of the best damage and combo kits in the game right now.
Items, Codes, and Stand Management
Managing your Stands and resources correctly saves hours of grinding. The Rokakaka fruit is the key item here: it resets a Stand currently stored in your Stand inventory, letting you reroll without losing progress elsewhere.
| Item / Feature | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rokakaka Fruit | Resets a Stand in your inventory | Usable from the inventory menu |
| Horse Stats | Boost race performance | Also apply to Sandman |
| Corpse Parts | Evolution material | Not in game yet; no evolutions currently |
| Awakening | Power-up state | Console players can enable via settings |
Codes mentioned around the game's release (such as the release code and milestone like-count codes) rotate frequently. Always verify current codes through the official game page or community channels before redeeming.
Tusk Preparation Checklist:
- Redeem all available codes before racing
- Invest in horse stats for Sandman synergy
- Keep a Rokakaka fruit for Stand resets
- Complete the Gyro quest chain for Spin
- Watch for the Tusk Acts update announcement
Racing and Battleground Strategy
A Bizarre Run splits gameplay between racing for first place and battling in battleground mode with your chosen Stand. Your strategy should shift depending on which mode you enter.
| Mode | Focus | Recommended Stand Type |
|---|---|---|
| Racing | Speed, slipstream timing | Sandman, horse-boosted builds |
| Battlegrounds | Damage, combos, cooldowns | Gyro/Spin, Tusk Act 1, Star Platinum |
| Support Play | Team utility | Mr. President |
Holding slipstreams is not just a race tactic; it is also a required Gyro quest objective. Practice drafting behind other riders so the 15-second slipstream quest becomes free progress.
Tusk FAQ
Q: Can I get Tusk Act 2 or higher in A Bizarre Run right now?
No. Higher Tusk Acts are not obtainable in the current version and will be added in a future update. Any method claiming to unlock them today should be treated as inaccurate.
Q: How good is Tusk Act 1 compared to other Stands?
Tusk Act 1 offers great damage and strong combo potential, but its attacks are relatively easy to predict. It performs well in battlegrounds against most Stand users, especially newer players.
Q: What does the Rokakaka fruit do?
The Rokakaka fruit resets a Stand stored in your Stand inventory. Use it when you want to clear an unwanted Stand and reroll without starting your overall progress over.
Q: Is Gyro worth grinding for if I like Tusk?
Yes. Gyro/Spin shares Tusk's high-damage, combo-focused identity and is currently one of the strongest Stands in the game, despite the demanding seven-quest unlock chain.
