In an RPG, you are only as strong as your abilities. In this article, we will rank the 5 best abilities in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might not be your traditional RPG, but it is still a role-playing game with all aspects of one. One of the core pillars of any good RPG is abilities and stat management, and when it comes to Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Majima primarily has three types of abilities, which are Shared abilities, the abilities exclusive to the Sea Dog, and Mad Dog stances. Other than that, there are, of course, EXP grinds and leveling, which will increase Goro Majima’s stats and health as you progress through the game.
5 Best Abilities In Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
As we discussed, there are a lot of abilities and stats in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. However, we won’t be covering the stats in this article. Players might get confused about which abilities to invest in the new Like a Dragon title, so that is why we have picked the 5 best abilities from the entire game that you should unlock as soon as possible.
5. Quickstep Strike (Shared Abilities)
Quickstep Strike is one of those abilities that becomes essential to your playstyle the moment you unlock it. You don’t have to think about your playstyle before using it because it goes well with every approach a player can take. So what does it do? In simple terms, the Quickstep Strike makes dodging and counter-attacking easier and a lot more effective in the game. We all know that avoiding attacks is just as important as offensive strikes in combat, and that is why this ability is fifth on this list and could be the line between winning or losing.
4. Essence of Howling Shadows (Mad Dog Stance)
If you like making clones of Majima in your fights, then you will love this ability. The Essence of Howling is a heat action that amplifies Majima’s Mad Dog Stance’s ability to make clones of himself and makes it even more deadlier. Once activated, the ability will allow you to summon clones with a full madness gauge and you can then trigger the heat action by pressing Y (Xbox) or Triangle (PS5).
3. Perfect Guard (Shared Abilities)
The Perfect Guard is a shared ability, but it favors the Sea Dog Stance a bit more. The defensive options in the Sea Dog Stance are few and limited compared to the Mad Dog stance, so you might feel like you should avoid it as much as possible. But don’t worry, the Perfect Guard and Perfect Guard Reversal add the necessary defensive maneuvers to the Sea Dog Stance, making it way more effective in battle. However, you can utilize the Perfect Guard in both of the stances, which makes it a must-have ability.
2. Essence of Piracy: Rain of Blood (Sea Dog Stance)
This ability is for the players who like to inflict damage on the enemy from a safe distance. The Essence of Piracy: Rain of Blood is exclusive to the Sea Dog Stance, and it enables Majima to perform a special pistol attack on multiple enemies. However, the damage might be quick, but the animation is not. When you activate this heat action, you will have to wait for your pistol to charge up. After firing the first shot, you can trigger the heat action by pressing Triangle (PS5) or Y (Xbox), which will do some heavy damage to the nearest five enemies.
1. Cutlass Heave-Ho (Sea Dog Stance)
The ability that takes the number one spot in this list is another Sea Dog Stance exclusive. Just like the Quickstep Strike, the Cutlass Heave-Ho will also become your signature ability in combat. The ability allows players to throw their cutlasses at multiple enemies, and after doing some damage and slashing through them, the twin swords come back to Majima, like boomerangs. You might feel that the ability is not quite strong at the beginning, but once you upgrade, it becomes more important to your combat style.
