How To Use The Turn Based Battles<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/section>\n
<\/section>\n

Yakuza: Like A Dragon has eschewed the usual action combat system for a turn based affair, which comes with a new set of rules. Typically, you and your party will attack, then the enemy, and so on. However, as the game goes on, this will get a bit more complicated as certain bosses will attack more regularly. They\u2019ll be explained on a case by case basis in the walkthrough<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In the battles itself, every turn you basically have four options. You can Attack, which is a regular attack with fists or a weapon, which does decent damage and is free. You can also use Skills, which are usually more powerful attacks, which can inflict status damages or attack a wider area. There are also buff Skills, which give you or your party a boost, but do no damage. These Skills will cost a set amount of MP.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The third option is Items. By selecting this, you forgo an attack and instead use a consumable. This may be used to revive a fallen party member, give you or someone else a health boost, cure a status ailment, or provide a stats buff. The final option is Guard, which will help protect you against a powerful attack. You can tap Guard when the enemy attacks you, even if you didn\u2019t select Guard, and you may get a Perfect Guard with the correct timing, resulting in less damage.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
