Master the Like a Dragon: Ishin! Pirate Yakuza Coliseum: Optimal Crew Formations for Naval Combat Victory
The Like a Dragon: Ishin! Pirate Yakuza Coliseum demands both skillful naval combat and strategic crew deployment. This guide outlines the best crew formations to conquer the challenging naval battles. Success hinges on optimizing three key crew positions:
