Making a run on the Platinum in Yakuza 0 -- still have to wrap up a few odds and ends for 100% completion during Premium Adventure naturally, but figured I'd ask ahead of time in case someone here's got pointers to spare.
Any tips on surviving the Legend playthrough? Already at chapter 4 and haven't had much issue thus far, other than needing a health drink or two during the assault on the Dojima office in chapter 1.
Obviously I'm saving cash for necessary upgrades like Heat Retention, Heat Wave, Power Surge, Quickstep improvements, Counters and such, plus extended combo strings and whatever is adjacent to or blocking the unlockable "Master" abilities.
I tend to stay in Brawler style for Kiryu, swapping to Rush for faster more evasive opponents and opting for Beast on tougher ones abusing the "throw loop" after hard knockdowns on heavies and bosses thus far. With Majima, I figure I'll stick with smaller combo strings under Thug, the Square x 3, Triangle "whirling dervish" combo under Breaker to clear crowds and follow up with the classic, yet cheesy Bat Nunchaku Swinging for the heavies and meatier bosses, mixing it up with throws and Breaker spins. Is it worth investing time into RER or CCC this go around or will I make enough money through random street encounters and the occasional scrap with Mr. Shakedown? I've already been blessed enough with Kiryu to luck into a bunch of Ruby Plates from strangers saved on the street, so he's covered for a short time.
