Master the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Pirate Coliseum: Optimal Crew Formations for Naval Combat Domination

The Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Pirate Coliseum demands both naval combat prowess and strategic crew deployment. This guide outlines the best crew formations to ensure your victory.

Crew placement on the Goromaru hinges on three key roles:

• First Mate: Boosts either offense or defense.
• Squad Leader: Leads a boarding party, providing various buffs. Upgrading the Goromaru allows for four Squad Leaders, totaling 20 crew members in the second phase of Coliseum battles.
• Support Squad: Provides crucial stat boosts or healing, without direct combat participation.
