Learn how to upgrade Mine's HP, Attack, and Special Abilities in Yakuza Kiwami 3. Discover costs, requirements, and unlock order for all of Mine's skills.

Mine, like Kiryu, has three upgrade trees: HP, Attack, and Special Abilities/Passives. Unlike Kiryu, all of Mine's upgrades are unlocked using money, and they are significantly more expensive.

Stat Trees (HP & Attack)

Each node on the HP and Attack trees can be upgraded four times, with each upgrade improving the respective stat. The cost of upgrades increases as you progress down the tree.

NodeCost for Upgrade
170000 yen
2350000 yen
31000000 yen
42000000 yen
54000000 yen

Special Abilities

This tree functions similarly to Kiryu's standard upgrade system, where unlocking higher nodes grants access to lower ones. All skills and abilities are unlocked with money, requiring approximately 14 million yen in addition to the costs for HP and Attack boosts.
