If you can’t get enough of the naval combat inLike A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, then The Pirates' Coliseum in Madlantis is the perfect place to invest some time. Once you gain access to this area, you’ll have your pick between three types of challenges: Quick Clash, Madlantis Mania, and the Tournament of Captains, each offering different combat variations.
In Quick Clash, your battles stay true to their namesake, as each rank challenge consists of two rounds each time, keeping the fights brief and consistent. This is the best mode for rounding out your entire crew as you can put some of your greener members to the test and earn valuable experience so they can level up and become stronger.

Quick Clash battles only haveone cannon/naval phase and one boarding phase,keeping all the fights in this mode to a fairly standard length.
Each battle will always feature two rounds, no matter the Rank.
There are five separate ranks of difficulty for Quick Clash battles – from one to five stars. You’ll face the following number of battles for each Rank:

How To Prepare For Quick Clash
For your equipment, you shouldpurchase at least one cannon upgradeon yourport or starboardsides to make the opening phases faster.
It’s recommended to upgrade your ship’s durability and boarding squad size to make each phase of the battle slightly easier.
Machine guns are also huge tone-setters,as you’ll do a lot of damage with these weapons when you’re infrontof andbehindenemy ships. While port and starboard upgrades are impactful, they’reslightly more situationalin the earlier battles as there’s only one time to employ each, rather than the two instances for machine guns.
Cannons are more important in battles starting at rank three, as the ships gain more HP and become more difficult to defeat with machine guns alone.
How To Set Up Your Quick Clash Crew
These fights are a great way to level up your crew members and ascend the pirate ranks as you make a name for yourself on the seas. While you don’t need a fully leveled-up crew to begin these fights,it’s wise tospend a chunk of moneyupgrading your performance and equipmentearly to get started.
Squad Two
Feel free to change your compositions based on how many members you have recruited and who is leveled up.
It’s most important to have a leveled-up crew to face rank two and beyond battles, so spend some timefarming the earlier battles to increase your levelsif needed.
How To Win Quick Clash Battles
For the cannon battles, focus all your attention on theboss shipfrom the opening and prepare to counter its movement with your strong side cannon, depending on whether you invested more in thePortorStarboardoption.
If you fall below 50 percent health and are in a tight spot, take a moment to use your speed boost to get out of striking distance while using therepairfunction. It’s more important to survive than put yourself at risk.Stay behind the boss shipto continue hitting it with machine gun damage while your cannons reload.
You don’t need to destroy the lower-tier ships to get an S-rank.
You can focus on the boss ship and begin the deck round when its HP hits zero.
For the deck battles,target the higher-ranked opponents first to prevent them from filling theirVoltage Gaugeand using their skills to strengthen their crew or attack you.Sea Dog Style is preferredas you have more skills that can hit several opponents and end the battle quickly.
Once you get the crew down to one or two opponents, you may switch to Mad Dog Style if you’re low on HP and need to avoid strong foes, otherwise stick with Sea Dog until the end.
Be sure to remember to use your Support Skills by pressing up on the d-pad, as these can end battles much quicker and prevent you from being knocked out if you’re low on HP.
What Rewards Do You Get From Quick Clash?
You should aim for an S-rank in every battle, as the multipliers can massively improve your rewards, sometimes tripling the base reward depending on your timing and overall difficulty.
