Stats

How Stats work:

HP: How much Damage you can take, once your health points reach 0 its K.O and game over if the leader is K.Oed.

MP: How much Mental points you have, you need mp to do skills.

Attack: The amount of damage your physical attacks do.

Defense: The amount of damage reduced from physical attacks.

Magic: The amount of damage your magic attacks do.

Willpower: The amount of damage reduced from magic attacks.

Agility: How fast your next turn will be, high agility means you go first.

if its high enough you can go again a 2nd time, beating up enemies while they can't do anything

Blunt Resistance: The amount of damage reduced from blunt attacks.

Blade Resistance: The amount of damage reduced from blade attacks.

Bullet Resistance: The amount of damage reduced from bullet attacks.

Fire resistance: The amount of damage reduced from fire attacks.

Ice Resistance: The amount of damage reduced from ice attacks.

Electric Resistance: The amount of damage reduced from electric attacks.

While those can stats can change, these cannot unless you use gears or buffs/skills.

Critical Hit Rate: the chance of doing a crit and dealing high damage, magic attacks can't crit unless the skill says so.

Evasion: your chance to dodge attacks physical attacks, you can't dodge magic attacks.

Like in Yakuza 7 When you level up you gain skills and stats!

but unlike Yakuza 7 Most jobs skills will have Red circles which are permanent and and can be used for skill inheritance. Yellow dots are permanent stats, Green circles are job skills that only can be used with the job you earn it from which in Yakuza 8 only Sujimancer class has these.

Food Shop Tips

Buying Food is a great way to heal and increase bonds/personality/awakening

So remember these tips!

-The amount of food you buy does not affect how much bond or healing you get, you can buy one item and you will always get bond every time & healing full hp and mp.

-Once you earn a lot money, buying all food items will trigger table talks and the game will keep track of what foods will trigger buffs/talks so you don't have waste extra money buying everything.

- Check your map as it will display an shop's food, buffs and any table talks your missing!





Green Chats: You completed this chat.

Grey Chats: you haven't done it yet

Grey chat with a no sign: you are missing the characters needed to trigger the chat.

Extras

Remember these Cool extra tips!

Knockback is great for knocking enemies into your friends for extra damage.

Grapple is good for breaking guards and certain tough enemies that won't go down with normal attacks

Use magic for high dodge enemies that are hard to hit.

Yellow shield usually means they can't be knocked down unless by grapple.

Remember theres 2 kinds of skill lines

The wider one means you will go the enemy you selected then you do the skill.


The thinner line means you will start your skill where you are currently and damage anyone as you charge towards your selected target with your skill.

If you have the cash/time, and need more bond points to reach 100? well try the club mini game, each hostess has different buffs which increase the hearts your male or female friends get, more hearts = more bonds up to 100+.


Since Hostess skills activate on chance, always get the last 2 wines of the menu, these will give you the highest chance turn on skills around 60% to 80%.



Doko Island tips:

-Ignore Livability, if you are good at dodging you don't really need many hearts, at least 5 is good enough.

-For quick popularity always craft the DIY buildings they give the most points

-Dumps and Areas stack up to 5 times each for easy materials.

-Buy SeaShells at the Shop to make the cheapest souvenir the Dondoko Seashell Bikini, as you always get the same points no matter what souvenir you give guests.

-upgrade Harpoon then bat and then bug net.



The Distance you can see camera icon for photo rallys!

Gondawara is pretty cheap and great poundmate, applying fear to enemies makes fights a breeze.

Buffing poundmates ain't a bad idea since they can do more damage.

I kinda forgot about raids, but if you need crafting stones and sujimons? Raids are your best friend.



Metalworm is this game's version of the Invested Vagabond in 7, gives a ton of job exp but hard to kill as tries to escape on low hp. easy ways to deal with him are to use battle items, defense/willpower debuffs, aim for his back and use rage to keep him from escape.

You can get more chance to get more exp for your sujimon by putting each different colored sujimunch for a max chance of 50%.


Amon Fight tips

- use skills that debuff agility like Sadistic Heel on Jo, so he doesn't buff himself all the time or use tag team skills.

- Jiro is the easiest to take out and should be taken out first.

-Wear down the rest of brothers and especially Jo, once he reaches low enough hp he brings back all his K.O brothers with half hp and since you only k.o jiro, only he will come back which is much easier to deal with.

-Sango should be next to kill as his gun skills can be annoying, from here on out, you can take out Jo or Kazuya, use magic skills on him as he has a high evasion skill and is annoying hit.

-Dragon's resurgence can be free easy damage for this fight, use it on jo or kazuya.

-Charm and rage are op debuffs

much easier to land back hits while they are angry
