Master the Coliseum in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name with tips on fighting, moneymaking (Rumble 100 for 3.3 million), and clan upgrades.

Fighting Tips

  • Always use Joryu for serious matches.
  • Ensure you have full Heat before starting a match to save time.
  • Heat Actions pause time, making them free damage opportunities.
  • The Agent Style Extreme Heat Light Attack combo is effective for clearing crowds.
  • Save Extreme Heat for when the "Order" comes up to utilize the attack boost.
  • Spider Wire is good for scattering smaller enemies but ineffective against giant foes.
  • Hornets can distract smaller enemies but lose effectiveness at higher levels.
  • Serpent shoes deal damage on contact and allow quick battlefield traversal.
  • In Yakuza Style, Charged Light Attacks are effective for breaking the guards of single strong enemies.

Moneymaking Tips

The Rumble 100 is recommended for earning money, with an S-Rank win yielding 3.3 million yen with minimal effort.

  • Maxed-out Spider Wire.
  • At least all EX Attack Power upgrades.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    For the initial smaller enemies, target the largest group with Spider Wire, throw them, and aim for a knockout. Repeat for all small enemy groups.
  2. 2
    The mid-boss enemies have low health and cannot be wired. Use Charged Light Attacks in Yakuza Style to defeat them quickly.
  3. 3
    The final group requires specific tactics:
  4. 4
    Defeat Danger Yamai first due to his aggression.
  5. 5
    Defeat Kondo the Killer second. Be prepared to switch focus when he uses Heat, as he becomes invincible briefly.
  6. 6
    Oota the Bear Killer and Nicole Naito are easier to defeat.
  7. 7
    Crow is evasive and may require chasing.

Clan Tips

Significant team upgrades are not necessary until halfway through the Platinum fights. At that point, your team should be at least Level 15 with a Bond Level of 3.

Tips
  • The most efficient way to level up your team is by purchasing experience-boosting "Guide to Cooperative Fighting" scrolls from the Fighters' Lounge, though this is expensive. Alternatively, bring your team into lower-level Hell Team Rumbles or have them tackle lower-level Hell Rumbles solo.
  • The trainer by the entrance to the Fighters' Lounge can be used for training, but it takes time and has a chance of failure, making it less preferred.
  • Once you have a steady income, use the OH! SAKAZUKI champagne to build Bonds with your team; this is the simplest method. Hell Team Rumbles also build Bonds but slowly, and Sake cups from the Fighters' Lounge are only effective for a single person.

Fighter Tiers

This list serves as a reference for effective fighters, though your experience may vary. You will still need to perform well as Joryu.

  • Top Fighters: Sheep Man, Chicken Man, Keita Kuroyanagi, Toru Higashi, the (Downloadable Content) fighters.
  • Good Fighters: Kamiyama, Brave, Yappi-kun, Fumiya Sugiura, Masaharu Kaito.
  • Okay Fighters: Most remaining fighters, including many Bronze fighters.
  • Garbage Fighters: Anyone using the "chump" or "shield" moveset, such as Businessman Taro, Scorpion Nakamura, Akira Guren, Mamoru Tateno, Super Guard Machine, Mr. Masochist, Ryusei Tobashira, Munan Akamatsu.
