Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth: BEST Jobs [My Recommendations]

My list of the Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth best Jobs will allow you to get an optimal start in the game, whether it’s via the starting jobs you unlock or from the ones you unlock later on in Chapter 8. These jobs have their own stat modifiers, as some excel in giving you a different playstyle, such as a mage-focused class, while others provide support skills. Still, there are only a few that became my favorites to use during my playthrough.

Best Jobs Summary And Comparison

Below are my suggestions for the best Jobs to use in Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth along with their stats:

6. Host

The Host is a returning job from Like a Dragon 7, one that I immediately found myself picking up due to the basic but efficient Ice skills in Chapter 8. The highlights of this job for me personally were getting the Rose Stinger and Ice Spreader skills beyond Rank 18, after which you can inherit these skills and switch to some other class to focus on that you want to main.

5. Aquanaut

The Aquanaut will be handed to you for free as the beginner jobs/classes of Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. It has a solid variety of skills, one that I think a few players might underestimate.

If it came to choosing any favorite skills, I’d say almost every single one worked well since I found most enemies in the early chapters to be weak toward the Ice element, and that’s where this job shined superbly. Lastly, I strongly recommend getting the Jellyfish Juice skill at Rank 20 due to its AOE effects and Paralyzing bonus.

4. Samurai

The Samurai Job had me intrigued when I first tested it back in the gameplay demo, but truth be told, I underestimated its viability despite its cool animations for attacks.

There’s a handful of great Blade and Gun skills here to cover weaknesses should you need them. I loved the Burning Arrow skill, available to you right off the bat with the Job and “Pine, Bamboo, Plum” at Rank 15, which is extremely good in crowd control encounters.

3. Housekeeper (Female)

While the Housekeeper may be slightly lackluster in melee damage, it makes up for that regard via the quintessential skills it provides. Power Wash and Iron Maiden is available right off the bat making short work of enemies weak to Ice and Fire.

However, my personal favorite skill is Scum Sweeper at Rank 15, which I inherited immediately for Chitose across all her other Jobs just because of how it can erase any buffs of the target, making it perfect for boss battles. Aside from that, Iron Matriach is great in mid-game as well as Suction Spiral against groups of buffed-up enemies in late-game.

2. Kunoichi (Female)

The Kunoichi is one of the brand-new Jobs for the female characters in Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and might just be the best one on my list for them. It is because this Job has an array of high DPS skills such as Flicker of Light which can break enemy guards and other useful elemental ones too like Scattering of Flowers at Rank 15 to cover potential weaknesses.

Moreover, I especially loved the fact that there’s an assortment of AOE skills at your disposal from Moth Scales Jutsu at Rank 18 to Essence of Hell Hive at Rank 24 which can decimate the HP of enemies.

1. Desperado

The Desperado Job is straight out of an old-school western flick, one that I was personally excited to use since its initial reveal. Most importantly though, it skips traditional melee attacks for ranged damage using the Revolver, which I like because of how easily follow-up attacks can be done instead of getting up close to the target.

If I had to pick my favorite skills, Poisoned Cloudburst at Rank 10 can decimate trash fodder enemies and may also apply the Poison status effect.

The Bourbon Buster is also great but has a risk-reward advantage due to the drunkenness effect. However, the best skill here is Essence of High Noon at Rank 24 which can outright KO enemies if they’re inflicted with a status ailment.

Other Honorable Mentions

While I listed my most used Jobs/Classes in the game, I have also briefly entailed a couple of alternative options that are just as good as these jobs in Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth:

• Action Star: Has a decent set of Blunt and Grapple Skills which can be paired well with elemental Nunchucks to deal great damage.
• Breaker: With an optimal elemental Anklet equipped, can provide some great damage from AOE skills as well as grapple attacks, especially behind the backs of the enemy.
• Night Queen (Female): Has some excellent skills like Candle Rush and Vital Vibration, both viable in crowd control and boss fights.

My Thoughts On The Best Jobs

While Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth impressed me a lot with its diverse set of Jobs to use, if I had to recommend you a job to stick with till the end instead of the default ones, I’d either go with Desperado or Samurai for Males and Housekeeper for Females just because of their balance set of resources and overall kits.

But that aside, I suggest min-maxing them in the late-game and instead try to get the skills you want for Inheritance. Also, these jobs are entirely based on my preference so make sure to try each one out yourself to see which suits your playstyle.
