In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, there is a specific class system. In the game slang, these are called professions. What do they provide? A character can level up, gain new skills, and much more. 

In this guide, we will tell you all about the profession system in the game Yakuza: Like a Dragon and when it's worth starting to work. Let's go!

Description of all professions in the game

Professional System

With each profession, the character gains new abilities. It is worth noting that you can only start changing professions in Chapter 5. 

How is it done? Go to the menu and choose the dialogue with Ririka, she will inform you about all the available professions. Of course, not everything will be available right away. Professions will unlock as you level up your character. 

It is not only the hero that you should level up to unlock professions, but also certain equipment. Jobs for men and women are completely different. In other words, the same job is almost never encountered on different characters. 

Structure of the Profession System

After each won battle, you are awarded a certain amount of experience. Leveling up a profession and leveling up a character are completely separate processes that do not depend on each other. The skill acquired for a specific profession is only available when you are its representative. 

Each profession has two skills that are retained even if you change it. For some characters, it makes sense to level up a profession in order to retain the character's skills. 

Each hero in the party receives pleasant bonuses when they reach level 5. You will be able to use them whenever you want, regardless of whether you are currently in that profession or not. Specifically for Kosuga, it makes sense to play the game called "Management Company". As a result, the character will receive another hero. 

When is the Right Time to Start Mastering Professions

We recommend that you wait for a pause between when the profession becomes available to you and when you start using it. Why? It's very simple - if you start using the profession right away, it will be even harder to level it up later. There is an exception in the form of Saeko. We recommend using her as early as possible. 

In Chapter 6, there will be a huge number of battles, so it is worth leveling up your characters from Chapter 7. Why specifically from Chapter 7? You will have more resources and higher-class weapons.
