Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth: Defeat The Strongest Trainers
The Sujimon are scattered throughout Honolulu City. Once you've gathered some of these individuals, you can engage in Sujimon battles against other trainers across the city. Your ultimate goal is to face the "Discreet Four" and the Sujimon Master!
This mini-game isn't just for fun, it also lets you unlock a new job class for Ichiban called the "Sujimancer". With this class, you can equip your Sujimon and summon them during your battles. The stronger your Sujimon, the more powerful your Sujimancer skills become.
Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth: Collect And Train Your Sujimon
Here are three ways to add Sujimon to your team. First, you can find them in the city and by defeating them you're able to give them a gift, although this doesn't always guarantee recruitment.
Second, you might encounter them during a raid, and defeating them ensures a chance to recruit the individual. Third, check out the Sujimon gacha spots – use your cash or gacha tickets to get random Sujimons!
Each Sujimon has its own category, such as Businessman, Drunkard, Host, Thug, or Assassin. These categories have strengths and weaknesses against each other, along with specific affinities and vulnerabilities to elemental effects or status ailments.
To boost your Sujimon's power, you can enhance them through strengthening, awakening, and evolution. Strengthening involves giving your Sujimon a Sujimunch – a nutritious drink.
Awakening occurs when you feed your Sujimon the same kind of their own species, unlocking their potential and improving their abilities. If you keep awakening the same Sujimon, it might evolve at some point.
If you feel like reviving Dondoko Island in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (another mini-game), you can train your Sujimon in the Dondoko Farm. Playing these mini-games is definitely worthwhile.
In the end, the motto is: Gotta catch 'em all!
