6. Legendary Hero’s Bat - Yakuza: Like A Dragon

Yakuza: Like A Dragon goes all in on weapon upgrading, perhaps too far in if you ask me or any person who sunk dozens of hours into grinding materials and cash for its extensive upgrade system, but at least you have to appreciate that it’s in there.

Since it’s so extensive this naturally means there are loads of weapons you can choose to equip and almost all of them have long upgrade paths.

One of the very best is the Legendary Hero’s Bat EX EX, the final form of the Self-Proclaimed Hero’s Bat which you’ll obtain automatically. This bat isn’t much to look at but given some extra love and care it becomes well and truly the best weapon for the Hero class in the game, especially due to its extremely useful special effect which grants more hits in regular attacks. You also get bonus electric damage which is super deadly and essentially end up with a weapon so impressive the rest of your party can just hang back and chill so, well done you.
