The way the game's designed the non-base classes are actually viable and none of them are low tier by endgame. The only person who really needs to be in his base class to top tier wreck is Kiryu tbh

Desperado is the only class that has fire, water, pistol, blade, healing and grapple. The only one missing is electric damage, you should get it from another class as a inheritance skill and you have something to tackle literally any enemy.

Been watching your videos for about a week now. Finally just subbed. Next video, upgrading weapons to their ultimates guide.

Barmaids ultimate weapon increases skill damage but increases mana combine with armor that powers mp cost . I use barmaid and bring over idol , housekeeper skills as well as scattering of flowers from kunoichi

Boosted Ichiban’s jobs to the max, Sujimancer stats BLOWS Hero’s out of the water by a large margin. (Bloody surprised too) Made him into a pure mage of the party, Adachi can handle physical threats.

[@igorbosso4541]

I love de concept behind Dragon of Dojima, but it suffers of the same issue as Sujimancer, the lack of a weapon. Weapons are just too strong in this game, no weapons means less damage and no brands, my Kyriu ended up as a Samurai. Anyway this game is not hard to a point where you need to go full meta, so i say just play what you like.

[@lynmerc8102]

This is so true.

[@shadowsauce3693]

[@shinronvaynex5900]

I like Zhao with breaker. With the weapon that gives Mp on buffs. And the accessory that heals on buff. You can top yourself pretty easily. Zhao's gangster class also has some breaker like skills but a heavy damage. But what I like is hangman twist. Which buff the team with CRIT chance.

[@SirNile]

I did find it interesting though that while Adachi is overall pretty mixed on base, his Arrest skill is good if you just need to get a non-boss goon who won't evade (or if they can, are stuck in place via a status effect) out of the fight ASAP, you could absolutely cheese level gaps if you abused this, and Detective's Grit could certainly feed into the tank role they want you to try and prop him into, but I think could be an overall good emergency button if he suddenly takes a butt load of damage and he's GOING to die unless you use it.

Depends on how much time you want to spend on farming those stat boosters, the best job for each character could change entirely in this game. Stat booster are so fast and easy to farm in Yakuza 8, since some mini bosses in Hawaii and Ijincho 100% drop these boosters, and these bosses DID respawn with just a few simple taxi resets (premium adventure only) The term you use "super late game". not sure what about your current stat on everyone. But for mine. i manage to reach 2000 magic for Kasuga, and 2000 atk for Kiryu, 1k agility for both to make sure they go first (agility not the most important, i just want to go first), my usual combo would go like this: Kasuga: Dondoko beam --> The ladies use Substitution jutsu on Ichiban --> Dondoko beam again Kiryu: Dragon god / Ultimate / Relentless Dragon's Dance --> Substitution Jutsu ---> Dragon god Most legend bosses would die in 1 or 2 shots with this combo Considering the above strategy, i would say CHEF is the most OP job for Kasuga because of it's 7-star weapon. It increase skill damage. you won't notice the difference when the stats are low, but trust me, when your magic reach above 1k, the difference in damage is HUGE. Chef could work for Kiryu too, but action star feel better to me, cause it has high HP, and the unique 7-star weapon of action star increase physical damage, which is everything Kiryu needs. For the ladies, just use Kunoichi because it has the highest Agi stat, and substitution jutsu ofc. If you just want to play the game casually, then i really agree with most of your choices, especially Chitose, my favorite gal :D

[@SoraTerumi24]

Always use Chef for Kiryu so he can use his Essence of “I am the manager” and proceed to beat up every Karen in the area. It’s not about being viable it’s about sending a message to all those who dares to complain about Chef Kiryu cooking

Awesome video my friend. Any chance you could let us know what Sujimon you have equipped, and where to get them, and also, how much of a time commitment is required on Dondoko Island to get the Beam. I ask because I am not a huge fan of Dondoko, so I would like to know how long I have to torture myself to get the Beam lol

[@purplatypus7405]

[@Heyitsmeagain.]

Adatchi's best Job is the action star, no question. With the best weapon, increasing his attacks massively, and some attack boosting gear, using heavy beat down is like 3000 damage. On top of action stars move being able to double your physical attack on your next turn, using sub jutsu he can attack for 6000 comfortably. Plus he's a beast so his health is massive too.

[@VietPho]

Can you do a video explaining and showcasing kiriyu's 3 different stances fighting styles and provide examples of when it's best to use a particular stance over another?

[@Keizerdawn]

Use beast if you need to guard break but its situational since you can use the komaki pupil or master skills and i say situational since it is a gamble if the enemy has high evasion or you can use beast for crowds if they are clumped together then use brawler if there is one enemy but that depends on you if you want to then either attack from front or behind and then you use rush for either you need to pick off two low hp enemies or use it if an enemy can ragdoll bonus points if you hit an enemy that can ragdoll from behind so you can ground attack them if they dont ragdoll use brawler from behind or just use it to stock up on mp if you need mp since you can attack twice with rush also use brawler if you can hit an enemy to an ally so they can follow up

[@abodieqwerty4678]

aquanaut on zhao is really good because with his armor and the best weapon at max hp you do insane damage, even higher than samurai adachi. To top it off you can heal when you're not full hp so you're also helping out the party bring over hangman's twist from breaker, the heal from gangster, explosive arrow from samurai and some blade skill (at max bond that super from pyrodancer should do a lot of damage) and there you go I feel like if you use anything else there's no point because there's someone that can do it better

[@platterbuss2328]

I like pyrodancer on tomi early game for aoe regen and ailment cure, saved my but in some of the harder fights on that chapter, cabbi was great for its jawbreaker move when i just couldnt hit weaknesses to

[@dbzfanbro3353]

I don’t know if this was a bad idea, but I had joon gi Han as a samurai, with some hit man skills, ima be honest the moonflower katana you can get I think is actually better than the samurais “best” weapon since you can upgrade it to be stronger and has a better special effect

[@purplatypus7405]

I agree I like thst weapon more but even when both are fully upgraded the ult one with just have better numbers which I think is more important. The only characters I don't want the super high attack or magic stats in are supports like geodancer and their ultimate weapon is actually kinda busted

[@dbzfanbro3353]

True

[@Ahrimane]

Linebacker is my favorite choice for Adachi though I agree that Samurai is another decent option. With linebacker he has a massive amount of health and it’s fun to get the enemies mad at him while the rest of my party nukes. This worked well against the final boss on the island. However, I mostly use him because he makes me laugh.

[@purplatypus7405]

I'm sure I mention it in the video but I can't remember. I don't use the linebacker or tennis ace jobs so I didn't consider them for this But I've heard a lot of people say adachi linebacker is great

Each character and generic job as a armor only it can equip. Most of the character armors are pretty easy to find by playing through the game and opening thr chests in the final areas of the main game. The others I made a short video on explaining how to get them but a online guide will give more specifics as mine was pretty generic

[@radahngodfrey]

I am using Zhao with samurai job, dragon ascension from his base job and cutlery slash from chef . I think he is pretty busted in every scenario .

I find most characters are busted but I found him less busted than some others personally.

[@gabeolson817]

You talk about ultimate weapons and armor a lot in this video but i think you glance over 2 of the most important, Aquanauts Ultimate Armor Poseidens Wetsuit grants him the ability to not worry about resistances when attacking, making it an amazing choice on kiryu, not to mention his ability to become a powerhouse with magic AS WELL as physically while healing and buffing, also Ocean Kings Board reduces Ice Resistance so if you have Tomi Chitose or any other frequent ice dealer it adds up. Aquanaut is Kiryus best job imo The second one you didnt even touch on is Zhaos Ultimate Weapon The Treasured Sword Of Heaven And Earth and let me tell you this thing just shits out damage, having the same Ability as Posiedens wetsuit allowing you to not have to worry about resistances on split attacks (i.e Fire Arrow Resists gun but not fire counts as full resist) Combine this with the Fact Gangster Zhao has one of the highest attacks in the game and you have Gangster Zhao Clocking in as one of the strongest physical Attackers in the entire game, also Blinding Viper is the only move in the game that drops accuracy so when combined with a seal of debility EX hes incredibly strong against bosses especially those with lots of resistances

[@purplatypus7405]

Ignoring resistances isn't very strong. You want to be exploiting weaknesses not just doing normal damage vs things normally resisted. Ichiban suoer beam beats everything in the game anyway imo

[@gabeolson817]

For example Big Swell Right tentacle resists fire but is weak to gunfire, Big Swell left Tentacle is weak to Fire but strong against gunfire, so I can't use Burning Arrow on one tentacle or the other without doing minscule damage, this is a problem for all physical attackers besides Zhao and Aquanaut Kiryu, with attack buffs, Zhao is doing somewhere around 4k damage a hit with +50 and attack buffs and Kiryu is throwing out Unresistable Ice Pine Bamboo Plum into Unresistable Ice Shadow Dance the damage starts adding up If I wanted to spam Dragon God (also Unresistable) and Dodonko Beam all day, I would. But why Even try new team setups and compositions in the first place if that's how you decide to play, Just discovered what an absolute monster Seeonhui is on Tennis Ace with Assassin and Kunoichi Skills. May Even be better than assassin I'll have to upgrade her Needles to 50 and see

[@purplatypus7405]

@gabeolson817 the issue is the game is so easy there is no need to worry about resists. I just 2 shot both tenticals and 2 or 3 shot thr big guy without even looking st resists. Maybe if resists were stringer and enemies had more hp it would be good but as it us just summon and use dondokobeam = win

Is it worth leveling a few jobs to 30 for each character or just focus on one job?

[@purplatypus7405]

The later in the game you are the more worth it it is. In legend mode I can level a job up to 30 in one fight but I wouldn't spend hours grinding in the early game.

[@MrMastermelo15]

I personally think 2 things here. First: I think you overvalue revives, support abilities and homecooked dim sum being Zhaos’ only good reason for him being. Second: Undervaluing Idol and it’s personal armour. Having idol with massive AOE defence debuff with a chance to charm on the turns you don’t need to heal is good BUT the strength comes strictly from not needing ANY healing on other characters. Letting everyone else focus purely on damage. This is where Zhao comes in as one of the best damage dealers. With low agility he acts last always. Letting the idol heal him back to full giving him double damage on physical attacks making him basically the single best physical attacker with any class (desperado is my personal choice for Devil Twister) All in all though I don’t think anything you said is wrong necessarily because personal bias will always dictate a bit of this stuff. Good video, enjoy the content and also Nanbas personal gear is dogshit, just have an idol to heal back to full with 1 cast of concert.

Dragon of Dojima lacks weapon, so my Kiryu ended action star, which synergies pretty well with his DD skills. Hmm... Joongi has been a tricky one for me... he lacks power/strenght in hitman, as well as in gunner. Sooooo he went Samurai for me. Because he is naturally fast, so Samurai's lack of speed didn't cripple him too much. Seonhee has been my night queen... Kunoichi lacks strenght and as a night queen (with some kuno skills), she's been able to hit as hard as her masculine counterparts... Ichiban works surprisingly well as a chef with the ultimate weapon being so broken, even though he is a little glass cannon.. Adachi, don't know, he went through every class with me, but he never shined... :/ Tomizawa is good as a host, but he is not the magical powerhouse Nanba, Saeko nor Chitose can be. Chitose works better as a magic user surprisingly... I kept her as heiress or kuno for too long.... too bad... Zhao lacks speed too... especially in his gangster class, so I always kept him as a pyrodancer and he did pretty well, always hitting fast and hard. For me, Pyrodancer is THE class you can always put characters you don't know what to do with ;p never a bad choice ! Samurai and chef are mostly good for their skills, but I would not recommend keeping anyone in those classes. (or only a few exceptions)

Chitose Palm Tree Pose Shadow Clone Jutsu Any job fits there actually. But this is probably the strongest combo in the game. Palm Tree Pose buffs Agility and Attack. Use it 3 times and then a Shadow Clone Jutsu. If you get a triple Crit chance boost from *For Glory* from Samurai you essentially have at lv60 a 8k damage atk.
