About Scary Monster
Based on Diego Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, Scary Monster is an aggressive Playmaker/Stealer that began as a Legendary style and is now Limited. The wiki infobox still mentions regular spins, but the same wiki files it under Unobtainable styles, so treat it as out of rotation. Its Dinosaur zone was rolled at 0.25% (1% with Lucky Spins) while the banner was live.
The base kit runs on short cooldowns. Time Skip Crossover (C, 15 seconds) stuns a defender briefly and flows into Revolver Pass, a very fast shot to a teammate. Leg Shot (V, 20 seconds) slows an opponent for 5 seconds, and Bullet Pressure (B, 25 seconds) knocks the ball from a stationary holder at very long range. The awakening, Scary Monsters, needs you off the ball and turns you into a Dinosaur with an automatic steal, unlocking Tail Form and a one-time The World that stops time for 5 seconds.
Dinosaur adds 10% shorter cooldowns and a speed boost that grows with distance from the ball. The wiki's meta note calls the style very strong in 1v1 and 2v2.
