Mastering Goro Majima's Skills in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Amnesiac Goro Majima, the protagonist of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, begins with a single fighting style but gains access to new weapons and the Sea Dog style as the story progresses. This unlocks multiple skill trees: Overall Stats, Shared Abilities, Mad Dog, and Sea Dog. Prioritizing these early upgrades will significantly improve your combat effectiveness:
Essential Early Upgrades for Goro
Max Health Boost (Overall Stats): This is crucial for surviving encounters with numerous enemies, particularly in boss fights. Increased survivability allows for sustained offensive pressure.
Attack Boost (Overall Stats): Boosting base attack damage is always beneficial in a real-time combat system. This upgrade significantly increases damage output across all attacks. Consider "Attack Boost Plus" later for further enhancement.
Knockdown Evasion (Shared Abilities): Quickly recover from knockdowns to maintain offensive momentum during multi-enemy fights. This prevents prolonged vulnerability.
Quickstep Strike (Shared Abilities): Launch attacks immediately after dodging, creating more offensive opportunities and aiding Heat Gauge activation.
Grapple Counter (Shared Abilities): Counter grapple attacks, negating damage and allowing for a retaliatory strike. Excellent for crowd control.
Serpent Trick (Mad Dog): This Mad Dog style upgrade launches enemies into the air, setting up devastating combos and leaving opponents vulnerable.
Frenzy Trick (Mad Dog): A powerful spin attack for crowd control, ideal for naval combat encounters with waves of enemies.
Catch ‘n’ Slash (Sea Dog): This upgrade enhances the existing Catch ‘n’ Slash technique, extending its duration and enabling seamless combos.
Charge ‘n’ Shoot (Sea Dog): Improves the flintlock pistol, making it a more effective weapon against multiple targets.
