Use Extreme Heat Mode
Tips & Tricks For Yakuza 6
One of the big changes made to combat in Yakuza 6 comes with Extreme Heat Mode. Once Kiryu has at least one Heat Orb full you can hit R2 to enter the mode, significantly boosting Kiryu’s damage and attack speed. More importantly, however, this mode lets you use different moves in general. If you head over to the Heat tab on your Stats menu you can see the prerequisites on how to use all of you Heat Actions.
These actions are generally very strong, causing a ton of damage or interrupting an enemy’s attack. While you can certainly save your Heat Orbs to use general heat actions, it can often be a better idea to pop into the mode, especially if you’re surrounded by a ton of enemies. Even the basic punches Kiryu throws in while using this special power can hit multiple enemies at once, making the mode a valuable tool for crowd control.
