As captain of the Goromaru, Majima takes on the full slate of duties and challenges that any seafaring vessel faces inLike A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii.As such, he needs the best first mates by his side who can help cover his ship’s weaknesses using their strengths.
Generally, First Mate Traits help to even out the Goromaru’s abilities while you’re upgrading it, aiding your personal playstyle as you deem fit. If you’re focused on speed and evasive maneuvers, then Strait Racer will appeal to you, while Sink King might be the standout choice if you prefer damage boosts to your Machine Guns.
Each First Mate Trait below also comes in a lesser version, lacking the ‘Kiwami’ distinction. The Kiwami suffix indicates that the trait increases a given function by two instead of one.
4Master Of Stealth Kiwami
Master of Stealth Kiwami finds its way into the final spot among the other best First Mate Traits in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii. In truth,both ‘Master of Stealth’ Traitsdeserve to be considered some of theworstchoices due to the nature of combat.
When selecting your First Mate, your ability to hide from foes should be your last concern, as using a smoke screen is a clear indication that the battle hasn’t gone well.
Given the negative circumstances required to necessitate using this function, Master of Stealth is a niche selection. It doesn’t make battles faster for aggressive playstyles, nor does it significantly improve defensive styles. However, if you want to give this trait a try, some of the bestcrew members with Master of Stealth Kiwami are:
3Straight Racer Kiwami
Strait Racer is a huge upgrade on Master of Stealth, as evading the opposing ship’s cannon fire or ramming attempts is an essential tool in keeping the Goromaru intact andwinning naval battles.This First Mate Trait ensures that you have the literal extra fuel in the tank to escape from even the most dire situations.
Strait Racer Kiwami could be considered the best First Mate Trait if you play quickly and prefer to make bold predictions, as it allows you to take risks to get out of trouble before it’s too late to escape incoming fire. This trait can also be used aggressively to pursue enemy ships and finish the fights. Some of thebest crew members with Straight Racer Kiwamiare:
2Sink King Kiwami
If you’re interested in a First Mate Trait that can help you end naval fighters quicker, then Sink King Kiwami is the choice you’ve been looking for. This traitincreases the damageyou do to your foe’s stern or theback of their ship.
While the effect is straightforward and impactful, it relies on moving with your target and maintaining a position behind them. Ideally, you can turn and barrage their stern with cannon fire to inflict maximum damage, but often, you’ll hit the enemy sterns with your Machine Guns.
The small niche prevents this from being the best First Mate Trait, but it’s still an excellent choice with or without the Kiwami bonus.

1First-Rate Mechanic Kiwami
First-Rate Mechanic Kiwami takes the cake as the best First Mate Trait, especially for more challenging battles. While you should cruise through the early stages of thePirates' Coliseum Quick Clash matches,you’ll notice that fights are much more difficult when you move on tothe Tournament of Captains.
First-Rate Mechanic Kiwami might not sound overly powerful, but its distinction as the only First Mate Trait that improves the repair function is significant. Since repair is the only ability with a listed drawback (unable to use weapons during repair), it’s clear that the developers regardedthe ability to heal damage as inherently strong.This First Mate Trait gives you the chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, something none others can claim.
