JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 7 - Steel Ball Run
"If I'm lost, I won't shoot, but I'm not lost anymore."
~Johnny Joestar
Overview[]
Tusk Act 3 is a long ranged Stand used by Johnny Joestar in the Steel Ball Run manga.
In addition to maintaining every previous ability, Act 3 adds Wormhole Uppercut. This gives Tusk the extra dynamic of being able to engage combat. The attack has some crowd control as the attack inflicts knock down, which allows the user to dash away to increase the distance between the user and the target, as Tusk is purely a long range stand. Wormhole Nails can also redirect any nail based attacks that did not hit someone. The attack gets cancelled if the user gets hit during the animation start up, which emphases the importance for a Tusk Act 3 user to keep their distance from whoever they are fighting.
One main plus for Tusk Act 3 is its low cooldowns, allowing to be easily used to zone. Tusk Act 3 is typically also paired with Spin which adds extra durability via Golden Skin, which reduces damage from attacks from other Stands that can zone, such as The World (Alternate Universe) or to survive close range attacks, which Tusk Act 3 does poorly at. However, while the lack of melee attacks can be fixed by upgrading Tusk to Act 4, Act 4 generally has longer cooldowns, with more skill points required to unlock skills. Act 4 is also banned in the Casual Steel Ball Run Gamemode, which Tusk Act 3 isn't.
How to Obtain[]
To obtain Tusk Act 3, you must speak with Jesus while having Spin and Tusk Act 2. Note that Jesus will despawn after the dialogue ends.

X - Wormhole Nails: Tusk ACT 3 uses wormholes to redirect nails that have recently been shot and missed, automatically aiming them back at a singular target. When upgraded, extra nail shots will be added to this ability. You can use this ability at medium ranges by pressing X on a target while having your cursor hovered over them.
C - Wormhole Uppercut: sinks into the floor and comes up to attack the enemy you have your cursor on (as long as you can see their name tag) otherwise it will redirect to the nearest enemy, dealing 8.3 damage

Trivia[]
- Tusk was leaked on Hai Guys a day before it was added to the game.
- In Steel Ball Run, it is very common to find Tusk users, some are Act 1 and are trying to get a Left Arm Of The Saints Corpse, some are Act 3 and are trying to get the Pelvis Of The Saints Corpse, other people who have Tusk Act 4 are most likely playing Steel Ball Run for fun.
- For a short while after Tusk Act 4's wormhole uppercut rework, using the wormhole uppercut with Tusk Act 3 would result in a rather silly bug where Act 3 does the short barrage Act 4 does after landing the uppercut. This was fixed shortly after.
- Many players consider Tusk Act 3 better than Tusk Act 4, as the cooldowns are much shorter, which allows for more combo potential when partnered with Spin.
