Overview & Review – Yakuza Like a Dragon Enforcer Job
The Yakuza Like a Dragon Enforcer job is the primary tanking class in the game, specializing in inflicting the Enrage status on enemies, forcing them to attack the afflicted target. In terms of RPG archetypes, the Enforcer is akin to a Knight.
While the tanking skills of the Enforcer may not be very useful throughout most of the game, they become invaluable during the final challenge, the True Final Millennium Tower. However, even without relying on its tanking utility, the Enforcer is a formidable fighter in its own right.
One of the standout features of the Enforcer job is its exceptional selection of skills. At job level 6, it learns Paralysis Prongs, an incredibly powerful single-target attack that outstrips most other job’s attacks until much higher levels. Furthermore, it also gains access to two top-tier target-all Essence abilities—a blunt-type physical attack leveraging its above-average Attack stat and a potent electric elemental attack with a high chance of paralyzing all foes.
The Enforcer is an excellent choice for a first or second job due to the significant HP and Defense bonuses it provides. These bonuses prove crucial when facing the True Final Millennium Tower, where enemies can effortlessly deal 1,000-1,200 damage with their regular attacks alone.
Yakuza Like a Dragon Enforcer Best Weapon

The Job Experience accessory for the Yakuza Like a Dragon Enforcer Job is the Medal of Honor. Obtaining it is relatively straightforward, as it can be acquired through Substory 38. However, there is only one Medal of Honor available in the game, limiting the Enforcer’s Job Experience boost to 1.5x.
Character Skills – Yakuza Like a Dragon Enforcer Job
Each job in Yakuza Like a Dragon grants two unique Character Skills that can be utilized by any character, regardless of their assigned job. For the Enforcer job, these character skills are:
- Shield Blast: Damages a single enemy and surrounding foes by unleashing a shockwave of sheer bravado.
- Power Lift: Inflicts extreme damage on an enemy with a forceful shield strike, potentially enraging the target.
While Shield Blast offers limited utility, primarily useful during the early game levels when other skills are unavailable, Power Lift proves advantageous as it inflicts the Enraged status, allowing the Enforcer to extend its tanking capabilities to other classes.
