Stand Out is a Roblox game inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, where players can obtain powerful Stands, complete quests, fight enemies, and improve their characters. If you are just starting out, understanding the basic mechanics will help you progress faster and avoid wasting your resources.
There are several important systems to learn, including the tutorial, Stand abilities, stat points, story quests, bounties, and Hamon. This beginner’s guide covers these features, along with useful tips for traveling around the map and dealing with common quest problems.
1. Complete the Tutorial First
When you first enter Stand Out, your first priority should be completing the tutorial. This is part of the main storyline and introduces the basic mechanics, including combat and character progression. Finishing the tutorial also rewards you with a Stand Arrow, which is an important item for obtaining your first Stand.
Follow the tutorial instructions and complete each objective before exploring other activities. Learning the controls early will make battles and quests easier to handle. Once you receive the Stand Arrow, you can use it to obtain a Stand and unlock its associated abilities.
2. How to Get and Use Stands
Stands are one of the main features in Stand Out. Each Stand comes with its own set of abilities, giving you different options during combat. After using a Stand Arrow, you will receive a Stand and gain access to its available moves.
You can summon your Stand by pressing E. To understand what each ability does, hover over the skill icons and read their descriptions. This is particularly useful for beginners who want to learn their Stand’s attack range, effects, and other mechanics before entering difficult battles.
You can also inspect your stronger abilities by pressing T to open the X-move interface and hovering over the available skills. Take time to understand your moves before fighting stronger enemies, since knowing when to use each ability can make a noticeable difference.
3. How to Level Up Fast
Leveling up is important because it increases your character’s strength and gives you additional stat points. In Stand Out, you can gain experience by completing story quests, side quests, and bounties. The main storyline is a good starting point because it provides experience while introducing you to the game’s mechanics.
Each level grants three stat points, which you can use to improve your character. To allocate them, press M to open the menu and navigate to the Stats section. From there, select the stats you want to improve and distribute your available points according to your preferred playstyle.
For beginners, it is better to understand which stats support your combat style before spending all your points. Check your available abilities and focus on improving the attributes that help you perform better in battles.
4. How to Use X Skills
X skills are stronger abilities that you can use after filling the required X bar. Unlike regular Stand moves, these skills generally require additional energy, so you cannot use them whenever you want.
The X bar fills automatically while you are fighting. You can also pose to restore energy, although the process is slower, filling the bar by approximately 1% per second according to the gameplay guide.
To activate these abilities, press T and select the available X move. Make sure you understand each skill’s description before using it. Saving your stronger attacks for the right moment can help you deal with difficult enemies more effectively.
5. How to Complete Story Quests
Story quests are one of the easiest ways for beginners to understand the game while earning experience and other rewards. To start a mission, follow the small quest indicator on the map until you reach the designated NPC.
Interact with the quest giver to receive your objective. The task will then appear on the left side of your screen, showing what you need to do next. Objectives can include picking up characters, defeating enemies, or completing other activities.
After finishing an objective, check the quest tracker to see what comes next. Completing these missions can reward you with experience and items such as Stand Arrows. Continue following the storyline before moving to more challenging activities, since some side quests require you to finish specific story objectives first.
6. How to Accept and Complete Bounties
Bounties are another way to earn experience and rewards in Stand Out. You can access them through your in-game phone by opening the bounty interface and selecting an available mission.
Each bounty has its own difficulty tier. Lower-tier bounties are generally easier to complete and are suitable for beginners, while higher-tier missions offer better rewards but can be more challenging.
The highest bounty tier mentioned in the guide is Tier 6. If you are still learning the combat system, start with easier missions and gradually work your way up. Once your character has stronger stats and you understand your Stand’s abilities, you can try higher-tier bounties for greater rewards.
7. How to Unlock Hamon
Hamon is another ability system that you can unlock by completing a specific questline. To begin, head to the hospital and look for an NPC named Billy in a room to the left after entering the building.
Talk to Billy to learn about the requirements for obtaining Hamon. However, you may need to complete the relevant storyline objectives before he allows you to continue his questline.
The requirements described in the guide include:
- Defeat five vampires.
- Complete three bounties.
- Defeat five Hubers.
These objectives are assigned as quests, allowing you to track your progress while completing them. Finish all the required tasks and return to Billy to continue the Hamon questline.
8. How to Fast Travel
Traveling between locations can take time, especially when you need to complete quests in different parts of the map. Fortunately, Stand Out has a fast-travel option that lets you move around more conveniently.
To use it, open your in-game phone and find Hubert. Select the option to call him, then wait for him to arrive so you can access the travel service.
Calling Hubert costs 50 coins per use. Make sure you have enough coins before using this feature, and finish any active activity that prevents you from calling him. Fast travel is particularly helpful when moving between quest locations or returning to an important area.
You can also reset your character to return to the spawn area near the hospital, although using Hubert is more convenient when you want to travel without restarting your position.
9. How to Use Throwables
Besides your Stand abilities, you can also find throwable items along the sides of roads and around the map. These items provide another way to deal damage during combat.
Pick up a throwable when you find one and use it against nearby enemies when the situation allows. Although these items are not a replacement for your Stand’s main abilities, they can provide additional damage and give you another option during a fight.
Beginners should experiment with these items while learning the combat system. Understanding when to use regular attacks, Stand moves, X skills, and throwables will help you become more comfortable with different encounters.
10. What to Do If a Quest Is Bugged
Some quests may stop progressing if important parts of the environment are destroyed or the map becomes disrupted during gameplay. Since Stand Out allows parts of the map to be damaged, certain objects or quest-related areas may become difficult to access.
If you encounter a bug that prevents you from completing a mission, try switching to another server. Rejoining a different server may restore the affected area and allow you to continue the quest.
Before abandoning a mission, check your quest tracker and make sure you have completed all the required objectives. If the problem continues after changing servers, check the game’s community resources for information about known issues and possible fixes.
11. Use the Stand Out Trello for More Information
The Stand Out Trello board is another useful resource for players who want more detailed information about the game. It can help you learn about Stands, quests, abilities, and other mechanics that may not be covered in a basic beginner’s guide.
The board mentioned in the gameplay guide was expected to receive updates over time, so its information may become more complete as development continues. Check the developer’s or community’s trusted channels for the current Trello link instead of relying on an URL.
Using the Trello alongside your in-game experience can help you understand more complicated mechanics and prepare for quests that require specific items or abilities.
Stand Out has several systems that new players need to understand, but the best way to get started is to complete the tutorial, obtain a Stand, and follow the main storyline. These early steps help you learn combat, earn experience, and collect useful rewards.
Once you are comfortable with the basics, start completing bounties, work toward unlocking Hamon, and use your stat points to improve your character. Remember to use Hubert for fast travel and switch servers if a quest becomes bugged. With a better understanding of these mechanics, you can progress through Stand Out more efficiently.
