Basic Information[]
Whitesnake: Alternative Universe (commonly shortened to "WSAU") is a non-canon Stand of Alternate Universe Pucci. Because it is non-canon, the Stand has a backstory where Pucci took the path of a sadist, where he would torture his victims for hours on end.
Whitesnake: Alternative Universe is a close-ranged Stand. Its abilities are similiar to its main universe counterpart, Whitesnake, but with stronger and fast hard hitting attacks. It has outstanding coverage, being able to fight close-range and long-range efficiently. When used correctly, it is undeniably powerful.
Whitesnake: Alternative Universe is D+ Tier in Rarity and S Tier in PvP.

Combos:[]
F + Y + R (Can one-shot most stands, even if they have good durability. Make sure that R fully kills them off, if it doesn't, they will recover their stand and end up countering you or run away.)
F + E + Y + R (Steal their disc, use your E/barrage, use the Y/Acid Spit move, and finish it with the R/Triple Punch Combo.)
F + E (Good due to the enemy being unable to defend themselves after the F move lands.)
R + T (A very good and spammable combo. Can be used to keep the enemy away from you. It is recommended to use the T move after the enemy stands back up as it will not always land.)
R + Y + F + V (Does a godly amount of damage. Can kill anybody if done right, although sometimes the combo can miss.)
E + R + V (Basic combo. Deals godly amounts of damage if all three punches on the R move hit.)
(Try using this combo if you're at mid range) V + R + Y + E + T + F (Another insane damage combo. This one is better at medium range, though. If the enemy tries to run after the V move, it is recommended to use Z to Stand Jump into their range.)
F + E + R + Y + V + T +(An infinite combo if repeated. This is better to practice on players as Menacing Dummys can't run away.)
F + R + Y + T + V + E (This combo can one-shot most players. This is a combo that must be carried out quickly or the effects of the F move would stop being active on the enemy, allowing them to use their Stand again.)
V(The gun can one-shot anyone that's new to the game.)

Battle Tips[]
Most of these tips can also work with Whitesnake.
Using WSAU:[]
- WSAU is pretty good at both close-ranged and long-ranged combat. For example, if you are fighting against a stand that's more suited for close range, like Jotaro's Star Platinum (they deal insane damage at close-range), you can keep your distance and use your ranged attacks, like the Uzi and Disc Throw. The uzi can deal a lot of damage in a short timespan.
- You can be defeated by time stop if you are not careful. When your enemy is about to Stop Time, then you can use your Stand Jump to escape their range.
- At close range, you can use your F move to steal the enemy's Stand Disc. If hit, the enemy's abilities will be disabled for about 5-7 seconds. This can give you the time to deal alot of damage to your enemy.
- Don't forget to use your block. WSAU has a good block that has 90% damage reduction. (For example, TWOH/SPOH's Overwrite move (90 damage) will deal only 9 damage if blocking.)
Fighting against WSAU:[]
- Its good to keep your distance against WSAU users, as they can disable your ability, rendering you useless until you are ragdolled, and giving them enough time to kill you as long as they don't ragdoll you. Even blocking won't save you from having your ability disabled.
- You could also bait their F move by moving away before they steal your disc.
- Zoners could beat WSAU, as long as they keep dodging WSAU's ranged attacks.
- Stands/specs with faster attacks and greater mobility such as Shadow The World and Ultimate Life Form can beat WSAU if played correctly.
Trivia[]
- WS:AU is one of the two rarest stands you can obtain from an arrow currently, the other being Star Platinum: The World. (Both 1% chance to obtain from an arrow.)
- Whitesnake: Alternative Universe only has 1 voiceline, which is: "It's Mine!"
- The 3-Punch combo (R) has the same animation as Bootleg Pot Platinum's Triple Combo (R), and Shadow The World's Shadow Combo (R).
- Coincidentally, they all also share the same keybind.
- Uzi was intended to be un-blockable making it a great counter to stands with high block strength. This feature has been removed, as bullets are blockable now.
- Whitesnake: Alternate Universe's Acid Strike (Y) move is one of the strongest specials in the game, it is right behind the Over Heavens' Reality Overwrite (T), as Acid Strike does only 10 less damage than Reality Overwrite.
- It has been often used for grinding for rare arrow stands.
- However, WS:AU is not good for stands such as legendaries or shinies unrelated to stands WS:AU can give.
- Whitesnake: Alternative Universe's model used to just be an older version of Whitesnake's model.
