Cannons Upgraded in Pirate Yakuza's Epic

Mastering Cannon Upgrades in Like a Dragon: Ishin! (Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii)

Upgrading your Goromaru's cannons is crucial for success in Like a Dragon: Ishin! (Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii)'s naval combat. This guide details how to enhance these powerful weapons.

Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, key hubs for ship upgrades and crew recruitment. You'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks, the shop where cannon upgrades are performed. After the initial Goromaru upgrade, revisit Julie to enhance your cannons. Various materials, obtained by defeating enemies, are needed:

Speak to Julie and select the cannon for upgrade. Equipped cannons are managed in the ship's crew formation menu. Here are the cannon types and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

Offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but lower damage overall. Consider this a later acquisition, primarily useful for recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

Deals damage over time, strategically beneficial as you don't need identical cannons on both sides of the ship. Its dual-shot compensates for the slower reload.

Laser Cannon

A top-tier weapon. Prioritize gathering components for this devastating cannon, which excels against weaker ships and significantly damages bosses.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate cannon upgrade, requiring rare components and available later in the game. Its extended range and immense power make it ideal for challenging battles like the Pirate Coliseum and fights against the Devil Pirates.
