Each of Kiryu's combat styles benefits from specific upgrade paths. Tailoring your experience point (XP) allocation to enhance each style's strengths will make you a more versatile and effective fighter. Remember to experiment and find what works best for your playstyle.
Brawler Style Build
Focus on upgrading Attack Power, Combo Speed, and unlocking new Heat Actions. Brawler is your all-rounder, so making it more efficient in dealing damage and building Heat is key. Prioritize abilities that extend combos and increase damage on downed enemies.
Rush Style Build
Emphasize Dodge Distance, Attack Speed, and Heat Gain from Dodging. Rush is about agility and quick strikes. Upgrades that allow for more evasive maneuvers and faster attacks will maximize its effectiveness. Look for abilities that allow you to chain dodges into attacks.
Beast Style Build
Invest in Guard Break, Weapon Damage, and Area of Effect (AoE) attacks. Beast style thrives on raw power and environmental weapons. Upgrades that enhance your ability to break enemy guards and deal damage to multiple foes are paramount. Increase your resistance to flinching while attacking.
Dragon of Dojima Style Build
This style is primarily upgraded through the Majima Everywhere system. Focus on defeating Majima in various encounters to unlock its full potential. Prioritize the 'Essence of' Heat Actions as they become available. Once fully upgraded, this style becomes incredibly powerful, combining elements of all other styles.
