any good jiro builds?

[Nexus]

long story short ive been trying to figure out builds for each of the specific characters in the game. why? i dunno cause i feel like it.

so far ive found a build that im able to say im comfortable with with every single character and does their respective personalities and jobs justice. however this brings me to jiro

I have

absolutely no idea how to make his build good or viable without breaking his character completely.

jiro is in few words the ninja of the payday crew yet im trying to make this build loud viable because theres just little to no variety in stealth builds. that plus i find stealth boring and repetative in general

so i tried to incorperate him in a dodge crit build. or a sort of stinger type build where he is hard to hit and does a fair ammount of damage. yknow. like a ninja.

that didnt work out cause his perk deck only allowes him for a max of 15 dodge.

ive looked at plenty of videos and ive tried diffirent combinations but the only way ive seen yakuza work as a build is when its made into an amor build.

and when you think ninja and jiro in general, you dont picture this slow tanky guy with full body armor and speed that rivals a snail.

has anyone really found out a way to make this build work without that or is it just impossible?

i think you should think about the ninja part ,i mean jiro isnt a ninja he is a yakuza (ninja is for stealth )
you should put some point in the revenant tree in fugitif for hes dertermination (and he kinda jesus in hes story )
then yakusa isnt a really good perkderk kinda shet :(
so you also need berzek kus JIRO GONNA KIAAAAAAAAAAA so need da melee damage
the thing about yakuza its base on armor regen so u need fat armor :/
i really think yakuza need a buff, there isnt much about good yakuza build

ps: sorry for bad english :(

Try doing dodge melee build,it could be bad but it feel like you're a badase mad asian grandpa

i wonder how you managed to handle rust with his biker perk deck lol

always brings Micro Uzi and katana, take berserker (ace) skill. While you heavily injured, you do more damages.

it's the spirit of Kamikaze.... to shatter like a Pearl, death before dishonor.

The achilles heel of a Jiro build, unfortunately, is the Yakuza perk deck. It's just not a perk deck that can be considered viable for loud gameplay above Overkill (and even that's pushing it) due to the meta favoring perk decks capable of either boosting dodge, health, armor, or fast regen of either of the latter two, none of which applies to Yakuza (which boosts speed but offers next to nothing to improve survivability, turning the user into a speedy glass cannon). There's a reason you pretty much only ever see it used in stealth builds.

If you're willing to use a better perk deck given the choice of weapons you'd probably be using, I'd recommend Sociopath, or Infiltrator if you don't feel like shelling out the money for Hotline Miami 2's Digital Deluxe Edition (or you live in Australia and don't feel like waiting a few months for Overkill to send you a steam key for the Jacket Character Pack after proving your Australian citizenship).

Use the armor bag. ICTV yakuza. Mollies. Frenzerker.

Self-immolate for the sneaki beekis. Become fast, like speeding cheetah. Then put on armor. Become strong, yet still agile, like roaring buffalo.

Micro-uzi/Thanos rifle. Genji Sword.

If you’re going to add the Ninja pack theme to this, you’ll have to replace the Thanatos with the Lebensauger (which came in the same pack) and molotovs with the shurikens.
