Goro's Early Upgrade Guide for Yakuza

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 unfolds. This unlocks multiple skill trees: Overall Stats, Shared Abilities, Mad Dog, and Sea Dog. Prioritizing these early upgrades will significantly ease combat and quests:

Essential Early Upgrades for Goro Majima

1. Max Health Boost (Overall Stats):

Boosting Goro's health is crucial for surviving encounters with numerous enemies, especially during boss fights. Increased survivability allows for sustained offense.

2. Attack Boost (Overall Stats):

This straightforward upgrade enhances all basic attacks, significantly increasing damage output. Consider "Attack Boost Plus" later for even greater effectiveness.

3. Knockdown Evasion (Shared Abilities):

Rapid recovery from knockdowns is essential for maintaining offensive pressure during multi-enemy battles. This upgrade minimizes downtime.

4. Quickstep Strike (Shared Abilities):

This upgrade allows for swift counterattacks after dodging, maximizing offensive opportunities and contributing to Heat Gauge activation.

5. Grapple Counter (Shared Abilities):

Countering grapple attacks prevents damage and provides a chance for immediate retaliation, a valuable asset against multiple opponents.

6. Serpent Trick (Mad Dog):

This Mad Dog style upgrade launches enemies into the air, setting up devastating combos and leaving foes vulnerable.

7. Frenzy Trick (Mad Dog):

This spinning attack provides excellent crowd control, knocking down multiple enemies simultaneously, particularly beneficial in naval combat scenarios.
