Discover the best fighters for your Coliseum team in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Get tips on healers, defenders, and attackers to dominate the arena.
When you first unlock the Coliseum in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, you'll get a starting team of four: Hammerhead, Businessman Taro, Hattori the Ninja, and Phoeniki. Hammerhead is a solid all-rounder to start with, but don't get too attached, because you can snag even better recruits pretty quickly through Akame's new Requests. Keep an eye out for KATSUWO; he's an amazing healer and his Heat action that heals over time makes him a staple for many final teams.
For more defensive options, Yuji Nunokawa is a great pick. Excellent Sujiya is another balanced attacker you might want to consider. Once you've got some cash to spare, you can start scouting for more fighters. Kamiyama is a decent replacement for Hattori, though both can get knocked out fast. If you can get your hands on Mr. Masochist, he's an excellent defensive unit thanks to his special Heat skill, and he might just make your final lineup.
As you climb the ranks and reach Platinum Rank, it's time to start thinking about the heavy hitters. This is where you'll need to spend some serious money, as some of the best characters are found via the scouter NPCs. Look out for Sheep Man, Chicken Man, and Fumiya Sugiura. The latter will set you back ¥3,200,000, but by this point in the game, that shouldn't be too much of a hurdle. Yappi-kun and Gary Buster Holmes are also fantastic offensive choices. Now, let's cover the defenders and healers.
We already mentioned Mr. Masochist as a defender who can heal himself and boasts a massive defense stat. Another strong defender is the Super Guard Machine, who has impressive defensive stats and health. Masaharu Kaito is another solid choice, and while his defense isn't top-tier, he has great health. His Heat skill is also a huge plus, as it boosts the entire team's defenses. You'll get him by completing the End the Destruction Request. Alongside KATSUWO, Toru Higashi is another top-tier healer you'll get from the same quest.
