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 unlocks new weapons and the Sea Dog style as the story progresses. This unlocks multiple skill trees: Overall Stats, Shared Abilities, Mad Dog, and Sea Dog. Prioritizing these early upgrades will significantly ease combat:
