Kiryu is the most balanced character, excelling in both close-quarters combat with his powerful shotgun and his signature melee attacks. His starting weapon, the Shotgun, is devastating at short range, capable of clearing groups of zombies or staggering larger mutants. Prioritize upgrading his Health and Attack Power early on. For skills, focus on 'Quick Reload' for his shotgun and 'Heat Gauge Boost' to frequently use his powerful Heat Actions. His unique Ultimate Heat Action, 'Dragon's Fury', unleashes a barrage of shotgun blasts. For weapon upgrades, aim for increased damage, magazine capacity, and reduced recoil. A good build for Kiryu focuses on being a frontline tank, absorbing damage while dishing out heavy punishment with his shotgun and powerful melee finishers. Don't underestimate his ability to punch zombies to death when ammo is scarce.
