As you venture through Honolulu in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, you’ll find numerous NPCs eager to join your crew aboard the Goromaru. Some of these potential crewmates can be spotted around the streets and bars, while others may require your assistance through specific side quests before they reveal themselves.
Finding the best crew members in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii involves various approaches. Generally, the top crewmates are unlocked by progressing through the main storyline or meeting certain requirements, such as enhancing your Pirate Rank. One of the easiest roles to fill is the Tank position, as two of the most effective characters become accessible during the first three chapters of the game.
Understanding Crew Tiers
With a limited pool of recruitable characters in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, it becomes clear which tanks excel based on their abilities. The smaller crew roster allows us to effectively categorize them into three tiers:
- S-Tier
- A-Tier
- Other Crew Members
S-Tier crew members are distinguished by unique Squad Leader Traits, a max level of 50, strong stats, or a combination of these qualities.
A-Tier crew members are solid picks for any formation. Although they might only reach a level cap of 30, or have just one high-tier stat, they are adept at fulfilling their roles.
Other crew members usually have a level cap of 20 and may lack any significant traits. Ideally, they possess at least one specialty and a single A-tier stat to fit into a niche. This category is selective and doesn’t encompass all available crew members.
In general, it’s best to use S or A-Tier crew members when building your team.
Special Recruitment Notes
Most crew members can be added by completing the main storyline or approaching them on the map, with two notable exceptions: Etsuko and Bronson, the Human Bronze Statue.
You can acquire services from Etsuko and Chitose by exchanging points with Kamulop (15 points each), while Bronson becomes available following the "Man of Bronze" substory.
S-Tier Tanks
Here are the top Tanks in the game:
| Name | Tier | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Taiga Saejima | S+ | A nearly perfect tank, Taiga impresses with a strong Squad Leader Trait and a top-tier First Mate Trait. |
| Jason Rich | S+ | Also a powerhouse with S-tier stats, Jason complements Taiga with Gun Defense on his Squad Leader Trait. |
| Chitose Buster Holmes | S+ | She excels in both Attack and Defense, making her a premium choice for Boarding Squads. |
| Robo Michio Mach | S+ | Offers outstanding stats and excellent defense with added Shock Resistance from her Squad Leader Trait. |
| Robson Caetano da Silva | S | A solid early-game tank with the Impenetrable Squad Leader Trait, though slightly below the other top tanks. |
Taiga Saejima and Jason Rich are essential choices for any crew.
A-Tier Tanks
The A-Tier Tanks are:
| Name | Tier | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Etsuko | A+ | An excellent First Mate and versatile in different roles once unlocked, making her a top pick for any position. |
| Human Bronze Statue: Bronson | A | A well-rounded tank with strong skills, particularly beneficial in the Boarding Squad. |
| Steve | A | Proficient on the Cannon Squad, his impressive First Mate Trait makes him a valuable asset. |
The A-Tier selection is competitive, with each character offering unique advantages.
All Other Tanks
The remaining tanks include:
| Name | Tier | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Theo | B+ | Offers solid Attack and Defense but is best suited for the Boarding Squad. |
| Arman | B | Best utilized on the Cannon Squad, though he lacks versatility beyond that. |
While these members may not provide much adaptability, they can still adequately fill remaining positions in your crew.
