There are 14 fighters you can all recruit in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name for the many battle challenges in the Coliseum Arena.
The Coliseum acts as an Arena mode in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, letting you challenge hordes of enemies with a team of all the fighters you are able to recruit. Each of the potential allies you can find has unique skills and abilities that may be honed through upgrades for various battles. Leading your team to victory requires Kiryu to have at least a few faces he can rely on.
There are two modes to the Coliseum, with the recruited fighters tied to the Hell Team Rumble battles that see you and your allies take on waves of enemies. Each fighter has a special Heat Skill tied to them, much like Kiryu’s Heat Mode. This gives them access to an individual ability that may be unleashed, similar to the moves you can perform in your Yakuza or Agent style in Like a Dragon Gaiden when you enter Heat.
How to Recruit Every Coliseum Fighter in Like a Dragon Gaiden
There are 14 fighters to recruit in Coliseum fights that Kiryu can find either through main story missions, completing Request side quests, or by paying the Broker to meet new people. However, three of these allies are only available if you pre-order the game. These bonus characters in Like a Dragon Gaiden include returning favorites from Goro Majima, Taiga Saejima, and Daigo Dojima.
