Tips & Tricks For Beginners in Yakuza Kiwami 2
Improve Your Base Stats
There are a boatload of different skills and abilities to purchase in Yakuza Kiwami 2, and it can be tempting to unlock new combat skills or flashy heat actions. However, it’s vitally important that you also remember to increase you base stats. The very first page on your Stats menu lets you invest experience points to Kiryu’s basic skills improving his health, attack, defense, and heat gauge.
Neglecting to level up these stats can leave you at a serious disadvantage against strong enemies. We’d recommend pumping up Kiryu’s attack and heat gauge first so you can do more damage against enemies, as you can pump yourself full of healing items to keep Kiryu’s health up.
Just make sure to pump a few points into these stats every now and then, and don’t forget to raise Kiryu’s limit when you’ve reached a stat limit, the option right below the stat.
