Introducing Two New Fighting Styles in The Kaito Files, the DLC Expansion to Lost Judgment Available Today

Kaito FilesThe story follows Masaharu Kaito (the muscle of Yagami Detective agency), as he tackles a profitable case in the much-anticipated DLC expansion. The Lost Judgment.

Kaito’s riveting four-chapter story and new sensory-based investigation modes provide an entirely new lens through which to experience Kamurocho and delve into the ex-yakuza’s past. But perhaps the most distinctive part of Kaito’s kit is his new battle styles. In this guide, we’ll share some inside tips on getting the most out of Kaito’s two battle styles: Bruiser and Tank.

Bruiser Style

The Bruiser style is Kaito’s bread and butter, available to players right out the gate. The more offense driven of Kaito’s two fighting styles, Bruiser is all about piling on the punches between fast evasion techniques that are great at keeping momentum.

You’ll very quickly gain access to a special skill called Repel, a parry that, timed well, allows you to execute a counterattack of your own. You can further upgrade the effectiveness of Repel by unlocking the Bruiser’s Hidden Arts, which gives a sharp boost to your attack speed after successfully repelling an enemy’s attack!

Kaito can also use the Bruiser Style to quickly evade danger. Dodge Roll, for example, lets you quickly escape from tricky situations after performing a Double Quickstep, perfect for when you’re surrounded by enemies.

Bruiser Style Advanced Technique

To maximize Bruiser’s damage, we recommend the Gripping Piledriver, which allows you to extend Kaito’s Triple Rush combo after the finishing blow with an extra follow-up attack! If you’re looking to squeeze in every last bit of damage you can, this is the attack to go for.

The Tank Style

Kaito, once an intimidating bodyguard to his father’s patriarch, was able to always defend his position like a tank fully armored. Kaito’s Tank style combines a fierce weapon-based offense with impenetrable defense.

Grab n’ Smash lets Kaito automatically pick up and strike with nearby weapons — including bikes and traffic cones! He can also weather attacks from any direction using the Iron Guard technique, although it won’t save him from deadly attacks such as gun shots. By unlocking the Tank’s Hidden Arts skill, you’ll also gain increased defense after performing a Perfect Iron Guard.

You can also grab with tank style. The Wrestler’s Throw skill lets you counter an enemy grab with a grapple of your own! You can also charge up a Prime Tackle to be a heavy-hitter who can take down multiple enemies if you get space between your and them.

Tank Style Advanced Technique

You can unlock Iron Break and learn to use the Perfect Iron Guard skill in a rush combination. This is great when you have to defend against enemies coming from all angles. EX Unyielding Counter is our ultimate upgrade for the Perfect Iron Guard. It allows you convert any well-timed defense into a powerful counter throw.

SEIZE THE TRUE

Private Detective Yagami gets called upon to investigate a case in which two crime were committed simultaneously by a former police officer. Yagami discovers more details about the victims, but will Yagami be allowed to defend the law or take vengeance.

Lost Judgment is the mystery thriller from the same studio that produced Yakuza. It combines elements of noir storytelling, investigative sleuthing and combative action. Use your detective skills to defend the rights of those the law doesn’t protect.

INVESTIGATIVE ACTION
Tap into Yagami’s arsenal of private eye tricks to gather clues. There are many gadgets, including social media listening and drones. But there is also hardboiled gumshoe techniques like climbing buildings or tracking down suspects. Catching a suspect is the best evidence.

Freeform Combination
Master Yagami’s three unique, combo-heavy martial arts styles to overcome any situation from group ambushes to single-target takedowns. Street fights can be further armed with street signs, traffic cones, and bikes, or customized with skill trees.

DEEP UNDERCOVER
As a club advisor, go undercover at your local high school to uncover the cause of the mysterious increase in juvenile delinquency. Join the Dance Club, where you’ll be grooving to the rhythm; the Robotics Club, tasking your ingenuity to build the ultimate Yagami-bot; a boxing gym, to stick and move against fierce opponents; and a bike gang, where underground racing is the only way to earn respect.

HIT THE STONES
While you are searching for the truth in the two cities of Kamurocho, Ijincho, make a stop and enjoy the local culture through bars and other hotspots. It may be worth taking on a Side Case to lend your detective skills to residents in need – you never know who holds what cards.
