Respect to Eclipse for testing this stand spec combo for almost 2 hours for us

So, to explain the extra skill points for Bulb Breaker Ground Punch. . . When you use the skkill, it'll slam Purple Haze's fist on the ground, breaking bulbs and sending a couple out to the sides a little bt, which ragdolls. The extra skillpoints add more bulbs that go around the punch, making it significantly easier to ragdoll people, and therefore continue stand crashing them so you can potentially land stuff without being punished. It's easier to kill someone when they can't take out their stand. Also, if you SRSE someone into the wall, you can immediately jump and use Bulb Throw to GUARANTEE a hit, which will proc virus and continue the endless hp drain on them. . . I rly love Purple Haze lol. Especially with Vamp, since your Blood bar helps keep you alive longer. Also, Rage build fast if you land stuff, so Purple Haze should ALWAYS be using Rage when available. It stops *your* Virus from affecting you.

Purple Haze, weirdly weak but strong, and stupidly annoying to fight

One thing I like about Yba is the crazy combinations you can make for a play style, it’s sad to see content and updates are very lacking since more stands and specs could really bring more new variety

A good build imo is tusk act 4 pluck, it sounds weird but its super fun. Its somewhat like a glass cannon since it can do a bunch of dmg but if you get hit you could be done for.

Cream+vamp, used to dominate in Sbr before they merged cream. Was an absolute meta back then as you couldn’t block the void moves or anything, it’s not like that now, but I’d like to see how you’d do with it

Scary monsters vamp, it’s pure cheese. You can freeze them then allow your minion to go wild, you can have a lot of block break opportunities with freeze, bite, and head charge, all around it’s a fun build I enjoy but time stop does exist.

From my experience playing purple haze vamp I mainly just run and let them come to you, depending on the range you can use your skills. Especially if you go against a close combat stand, you will get the upper hand. I recommend purple haze boxing much more though, because it gives you much more resistance to stuff like sptw and with rage, it is super strong and tanky.

Glad to see this amazing series after so long.

Life drain is also a great stun holding the person in the poison, and they still take damage while getting sucked and on the ground

I'm not sure if this is the actual reason, but here's my guess on the Bulb Breaker Ground Punch nodes. At some point in the distant past, the poison clouds from Purple Haze's bulbs visibly lingered around even after they were used. If you get the upgrade, you get more poison clouds to block off areas. Sure, the poison clouds still linger around a little bit, they used to linger around a significant amount longer.

the bulb ground punch upgrades make it so when you attack, a few bulbs also come out after the attack so even if you miss, you have an extra low-range bulb throw. not too useful though.

the Y used to spread the bulbs out so upgrading shoots out more of them for a bigger aoe. now the Y makes one cloud, but there are still multiple bulbs. since the poison does stack upgrading y does make it do more damage edit: apparently poison does not stack, so my bad

You should try ta4 pluck, it's quite fun for me especially when u do gold rectangle nail to pierce strike

Thanks Eclipse for this, you didn’t seem to hyped about this in the past so I genuinely thank you for going ahead with this.

Bulb Breaker Ground Punch basically throws out more bulbs. Basically, if you hit all of them (which isn't that hard) you can do a lot of damage, since poison stucks (if I remember correctly at least) For PH tips: When I play PH, after I hit a ragdoll (mostly Bulb Breaker Ground Punch) I attempt to either dash backwards and hit a bulb throw, or just throw it out without dashing. Most of the time the bulb throw applies poison, and even hits.

Next Build or Bust: Hermit Purple Vampire cuz funny

I agree with your end statement, I feel like a bust should be something with no synergy, a build should have combos, and spec/stand moves that play well off each other. Also, perhapse we could see Magician's Red and Vampire next, I feel like it has similar synergies with the burn moves

The Buld Breaker Ground Punch upgrades are not useful, like at all. What bulb Breaker Ground Punch does that you might not notice is it makes some bulbs come out, not sure if it does with no upgrades tho. The Bulbs that come out of the attacks might give you a little bit of range (like a tiny tiny bit, so much that it doesn't matter). You also can't control where the bulbs go.

Ok its a weird build, but 6P Vamp is really good. I've used it for a while and it was really fun and strong, you should do a Build or Bust on it.

The upgrade for ground breaker punch can help completely ignore any counters. I have tried many many times and have destroyed many many kc's and kcr's.

You should really try spin c moon, you can do gravity shift into multi steel balls then surface inversion punch then you can use uppercut to the moon into barrage then spin punch.

When you use bulb ground punch thingy and get epitaphed. Epitaph gets hit and cancels chop or raging demon or base epitaph. It just gets you ragdolled

You should do Cream + Hamon. Scarlet overdrive confirms that they use a dash to get off the fire making it easier to hit Void Suprise. As well as the extra damage from hamon making this maybe good (:

Hey Eclipese, maybe you could try HG Vamp? It has so many cheesey comboes and it's just really underrated, like I see NO ONE use this. A few combos you can do with it are: Emerald Barrier > Marionette control > few m1s > Life Drain > Emerald barrier > Barrage > Freeze > Emerald Splash > Stingy Eyes. This combo does a ton of damage but there are a lot more combos you can do, and it's just a really fun build. Please try it!

I main PH and made top 5 LBs with it. The bulb breaker ground punch upgrades just increases the range of the attack. In my opinion it’s nice to have but the upgrades are not needed.

the bulb breaker ground punch upgrades are aoe upgrades for ranged type combat but do more damage up close since all the bulbs hit

Congrats on 200k subs keep up the good work!!!

Tip for everyone using purple haze: the bulb breaker ground punch and the bulb throw's poison will not stack, so it's useless if you use each move instantly. Instead, wait for 6 seconds then use the other move. Although bulb breaker punch (t) can stack with the other moves.

Ironic how the most *TOXIC* stand is actually used by chad yba players

Build or Bust: twoh Vamp its pretty good and u can confirm ts off of life drain if it lands, not only that in terms of hp you're pretty stacked. ice into ts, pretty much anything into ts tbh

boxing cream there is this combo that I know (i don't remember it exactly) but it went like this if the aim bot move for cream hit you use eye gage then upper cut for a bunch of dmg and its true if you hit the auto aim void move that makes you appear under the ground. also if you eat yourself you can avoid ts and te.

Next build or bust:Tusk act 4 spin. I feel like that’s the only stand that spin is alright with

I feel like you should be able to M1 with your stand if you're using vamp, because your stand isnt holding the umbrella it's your character

Next build or bust: Kcr + Vamp. Freeze is practically and auto reality marble or a dimensional scythe, life drain can knock down the opponent which can also set up for a dimensional scythe, and space ripper stingy eyes is a decent spacing tool.

5:09 more bulbs come out but they not gonna make anyone take more dmg and they just make the hitbox kinda bigger cuz more bulbs

Crazy diamond spin sounds great... so I suggest you use it

I saw Eclipse at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

the fact i have to check if the vids r yba now crakcs me up ahah keep it up eclipse amazing video

I don't know much about purple haze but a lot about vampire one thing that would help you out is posing completely stops your blood bar going down, now it also stops you regenerating from the blood bar but you still heal from said posing. though there's not much time to do this considering you are fighting somebody to the death, but when you get a chance take it another thing to do is heavy punching somebody right after you freeze them. I know that it wastes time you have while said opponent is frozen, but heavy punching them could break their block or cancel a barrage. though at the same time you could also get parried

Star Platinum + Pluck perhaps for the next Build or Bust? You’ve got quite a lot of options with combos, catching players, etc. It’s quite a decent build in my opinion.

Next Build or Bust: 6p Vamp. Concept: When you hit an enemy with the freeze move the you just start blasting them using every move in your kit when you see fit. Hella underrated tbh.

1st upgrade for bulb breaker ground punch is just adding more bulbs (the location where the bulbs go out is randomized so it doesnt really matter where it is) and the 2nd upgrade does nothing and does not work

They should give a basic quest for vamps to become a perfect being, like Kars, consequently being immune at the sun, that would made that spec playable on main game lol

I would like next Build or Bust to be C-Moon Hamon, used it a while ago, dumb damage and auto-combo deals 1/2 the Health of the opponent

Net build or bust: CD pluck, i've never seen something like that and i think it coud go good or bad.

it is good when you do bulb punch then the freeze so they stay in the poison for longer and then after the freeze, you can do barrage which makes them MORE IN POISON

In one of the upcoming vids of build or bust, when you’re about to show the skill tree, you can do a KC time skip edit and skip forwards so we can’t see the build, and then say something like: I hope you understood everything because you have to use your points wisely since no other build is as good as this one or something like that Or you can do it on April 1st Next year I hope this series stays alive tho

MiH Spin seems interesting for the next build or bust, it was the combo that a lot of people used to run because they were bored of Twoh spin but didn’t want to change specs.

Aerosmith vamp? Ok hear me out. I was fighting a decent player using Aerosmith vampirism. Since vampirism is mathematically the most tankiest spec, in *kinda* makes up for no barrage. If you really want you can run and get all your hp back. Vola barrage is a very fast wind up move that does 1/3 of a vitality 10 max boxing passives users hp. The move has lots of stun allowing you to heal to *nearly full hp* if very low. Vola barrage into lil boy or space ripper is true unless the opponent has a counter or time skip. If you maintain distance you can pilot at super-sonic speed and and propeller charge. Free damage. You can punish a predicted barrage with vola barrage or lil boy. I might be trash at the game but the person using this wasn't any better. I nearly lost with TWAU boxing (cuz I suck and don't buy ts). Anyway that's my dumb paragraph.

Surprisingly enough the bulb breaker ground punch maxed can bypass kc and kcr counter when you hit them but probably not intended as a feature

Omg you finally did the stand I wanted for a long time!

You can counter scr's cw If you hold the mysterious bow in your hand

I doubt you’ll ever touch Purple Haze again but here’s a tip. The Virus upgrades don’t change damage amount so it’s just a waste of points getting them,

thank you eclipse for posting this epic video on my birthday :D

If you are using PH and you are fighting SP or TW save your ground attack because it comes out faster than the final kick of the kick barrages. Also if you are fast enough you can hit someone right before you are let go for their life drain.

Ayo,wassup eclipse

I wanna see what vamp kc could do in the combo department

the more bulbs on the ground punch you have the higher chance of more of them to stack, yes the poison stacks

dang,instant like and lets f*cking go and yes please let us see skill trees ,it really helps and truly "shows" build

fun fact u can kill ppl abusing JP6 invincibility glitch by using purple hase [ make sure they're in range of your poison clouds from any move ]

I love how being angry somehow makes you immune to a virus that can kill living things in seconds

Hey eclipse you know that would be a nice one. Cream with whatever spec you like, uhh go with pluck cause why not. Basically do void suprise into literally anything.

twoh vamp is amazing against people who don't know what they're doing so my suggestion for the next build or bust is twoh vamp (also love your content)

Sticky Fingers + Spin, why? Well, multi steel ball into extend arm is decent, extend arm into zoom punch is worse than jawbraker but still good, and having steel ball is a nice projectile option, this build makes sticky fingers almost like a ranged stand with a hook, and it was fun to play when i did it, so i reccomend u try it out :)

Use whatever idk this game not fun anymore

Pls do scary monsters hamon next for me it is a very fun build and it absolutely destroys vamp sub specs and counters cheese stands like ace because you can’t get stand crashed and the only bad thing about it is that you get glitched in the ground sometimes if you get ragdolled before or during ts

You should use king crimson pluck. Pierce strike's lingering hitbox basically confirms the cheese combo, and it also make it a lot longer.

Goated G making goated vids

Purple Haze and New Hamon is just busted. Here’s why: Use all 3 PH poison moves, then use zoom punch+luck and pluck. This inflicts a lot of poison, bleed and burn, and it can also be spammed. They can dash to get rid of the burn, but even without it they lose hp at an astonishing rate. Then to deal other forms of damage you can use hamon moves since PH just kinda sucks..

you probobally wont see this but this made my day a hell of a lot better my best friend just started dating my crush right as i was getting close to her so i was sad but this made it better so thank you also your videos are more enjoyable than yba itself

that bf2 theme in the background gives me nostalgia.

Bulb breaker is like platinum slam but idk if it’s blockable or not since it releases a bunch of light bolts that poisons you , can pretty be a combo ender or starter

so for the poison damage I learned the damage perks are basically already done for poison damage you only need 3 for the moves and you'll still do maximum poison damage.

As good as this build is, Boxing is also a great pair for Purple Haze. Extra HP, tough skin pairs greatly with rage mode, making you close to invincible similar to Star Platinum's, aswell as giving you jawbreaker for when they hold block against you, but also eye gouge to stun them in your poison. Good video though eclipse

Have you ever been suggested or considered build or bust teams? A group of stands that are on teams (like scr and kcr as an example) with spec combos for them as well? Might be interesting

Thanks I can't wait to see 20-plus matches with just messing with purple haze and vampire

ground punch goes threw ragdoll meaning you can combo exstend when their on the ground by useing it to stun them at the right time after blood suck.

Star platinum vamp, I don’t think this is a build but I see people in sbr do amazing with it. Huge fan btw

14:21 Eclipse: You just made my day:D *proceeds to violate him 2 different times*

NEXT BUILD OR BUST IDEA: CD Vampire..... I have been having some fun useing it... Try it out :D My idea is to use vamp freeze at the end of rocktrap to do it again hasn't worked that well but maybe you can make it better...

pretty sure the ground slam thing makes range bigger(not sure bc its been quite a bit since played yba but i mostly use haze bc fun)

i love thi series cause u dont know if eclipes will have a bad time or enjoy the build or bust

i wanted more of those ocean videos they are amazing

A good build you could possibly try out is kcr pluck, I found out a good combo for it that is simular to the kc boxing impale combo but it requires skill to do this one So it's epitaph then when they hit by raging demon, you pull out you stand then crescent slash then quickly time skip then barrage

Yooo hi eclipse love ur uploads

C-MOON + Pluck (Sword Style). Very good, not tanky but thats the nature of pluck. Has nasty combos like every other C-MOON combo. (If you can pull off this combo you can almost oneshot someone. Uppercut to the moon + pierce strike + barrage + cresent slash + surface inversion punch + triple pierce strike + thrust. Does big dmg and it's true, you just need to be fast at pressing keys.)

First off, thanks for your time and effort with these videos. Second off, Try Scary Monsters + Pluck or as I like to call it: Dino - Sword. Please laugh

i dont play yba because it hurts to play but this is fun to watch i enjoy the eclipse youtube channel and so should you

I got a friend that used ph vamp before and theres a combo i dont see that much or a strategy like this used at all. poison damage lingers so moves like bulb throw ground slam and even the breaker punch can be landed on ragdolled opponents and due to life drain having huge knockdown it is possible to poison ragdolled enemies, due to life drain mostly not being reliable unless someone's block is broken. It cant easily be landed but is still a way to land some cheap damage.

Crazy Diamond Boxing the biggest cheese I know of with a one shot combo and a sort of spammable immobilization move.

Ground punch could actually be very helpful, like it can Poinciana people in case you are in the middle of a combo, but… If you have at least a Chance to be unstudied It actually could make you have a chance to do you own combo

okay but what about boxing ger, you have a 70 hp heal and a projectile that does 60 damage if you block break

life drain is a meme move but you can get some good health if you are low, you should use it after breaking some goons block and they also get knocked down so you could release the giant gas field ( easier said then done because of hitboxes ), BUT IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 2V2S THEN LIFE DRAIN IS THE BEST, when life draining the person getting drained can still be hit meaning you could life drain and then someone else comes in with rage to m1 hell and then proc poison

C moon spin is actually decent it it’s the that bad since if you land multi steel balls you can do moon uppercut.

The bulb upgrades don’t do much beside you know, letting you throw more of them so its really just annoying for the player your fighting

the two upgrades for ground punch makes the poison hitbox slightly bigger

Aerosmith + spin is really fun to play, i got it a few days ago, and it also make people rage quit so often

Bulb breaker ground punch does increase the number of balls BUT... The virus upgrades do nothing.

This is my 2nd try! I want you to try GER + Boxing, you literally can't die unless you're bad. Just get max vitality, max healing, and max tough skin, and then do whatever you want for the rest of skill-tree. But I enjoy these videos, please do more.
