Which Dragon Kart Should You Use In Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii?

Every minigame you find in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii offers rewards or unlockables to keep your interest and compensate you for spending your time engaging with a given mechanic. Dragon Kart is a go-kart sensation that has been sweeping Japan and has made its way to Hawaii with the help of Ran, an enthusiastic young employee.

Ran takes Majima through the basics of Dragon Kart, introducing you to your fellow racers and the ultra-competitive Dragon Kart scene. While you can choose to take on difficult challenges with your basic kart, it’s best to save Time Attack matches for last, so you can unlock the best Dragon Karts first by completing Elimination Duels.

Lost Rider

Lost Rider is the first Dragon Kart you’ll get to use in the minigame, giving you a solid foundation to build on when learning what kind of vehicle you prefer. Most of the best Dragon Karts in Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii feature a balance between Top Speed and Acceleration, which allows you to stay ahead or catch up as needed.

Ideally, while some facets are more important than others, you’ll be looking to find a solid division between Top Speed, Acceleration, Handling, and to a lesser extent, Durability.

However, if you struggle to stay away from the walls, Durability and Ring Recovery Amount should be higher on your list.

8

Navy Fang

The Navy Fang is the second Dragon Kart you’ll unlock, and despite its unlock position, it’s only marginally better than your starter Dragon Kart, Lost Rider, thanks to its massively improved Acceleration.

Getting to your Top Speed quickly is a huge advantage, and pushes Navy Fang up ahead of the starter Kart. Trading Handling for Grip is slightly worse, but Navy Fang can help you win some races if you’re good at keeping leads, since staying in front will limit the visual distractions you’d deal with when trying to win from behind.

7

Golden Phalanx

The Golden Phalanx is marginally better than the Navy Fang thanks to a vastly superior Top Speed, better Durability, and improved Ring Recovery Amount to help if you’re struggling to control your vehicle around tight turns.

However, your driving style can alter whether you prefer Navy Fang or Golden Phalanx.

If you prefer ramping up slowly to your Top Speed and possibly bouncing off a few walls on your way to the finish line, then Golden Phalanx will be the choice for you. However, if you prefer to take the lead and never look back, carefully avoiding slip-ups along the way, then Navy Fang should be the better early option.

6

Crimson Fire

Despite being the first Kart you unlock, Crimson Fire is one of the most well-rounded Dragon Karts in the game, thanks to a solid balance between all stats, albeit with a relatively average Top Speed and Acceleration to go along with its other features.

However, if you’re looking for a reliable Dragon Kart that will serve you well without making it difficult to learn the track layouts, then Crimson Fire is one of the best karts for beginners to select. The moderate pace will help you to fine-tune your skills and avoid walls via drifting, giving you a chance to understand the mechanics before upgrading karts.

5

Rumble Crasher

If you’re not used to smashing into fellow racers and walls, then the Rumble Crasher is not for you. But, if you want to put the pedal to the metal and go full force into the guardrails and finish line, then this Dragon Kart is the one you’ll want.

The Rumble Crasher is the ultimate ‘all-speed, no brakes’ vehicle, boasting the maximum Top Speed possible while also rocking with maximum Weight and Durability. This tank of a Dragon Kart lends itself to a rough-riding racing style, which can work well in Elimination Duels.

4

Rapid Phantom

At the other end of the spectrum is the Rapid Phantom, which has maxed out Acceleration and Grip, but lacks heavily in the Top Speed and Weight categories.

Luckily, its above-average Durability, Handling, and Ring Recovery make the Rapid Phantom an excellent Dragon Kart for whipping around the track, drifting, and avoiding your fellow racers whenever possible. While the Durability of this Kart isn’t bad, it won’t help you knock many foes around thanks to its low weight.

3

Ignition Shadow

However, for those of you who prefer a quick, finesse-based racing style, the Ignition Shadow offers an upgrade on the Rapid Phantom, touting a much higher Top Speed and Handling, at the cost of maximized Acceleration.

Acceleration is a great stat that can help you rush out to the front, but it can’t carry a Kart on its own, as Rapid Phantom can be pushed around easily. Ignition Shadow is better than its competitor thanks to improvements to the Kart’s weight and better Handling to avoid other racers when needed.

2

Rising Dragon

At first glance, Rising Dragon looks like the perfect Dragon Kart, boasting similar stats in Top Speed, Acceleration, and Handling, making this a superb all-around choice that can win any race it starts.

As if the Kart’s mobility wasn’t impressive enough, this Dragon Kart can endure punishment and recover plenty of health via Rings, staking its claim as one of the best Dragon Karts. Its lowest stat is Weight, which tells you that this Kart boasts higher ratings in all the right areas.

1

Legend Wave

As if unlocking Robo Michi as your crewmate wasn’t cool enough, defeating the final Elimination Duel in Dragon Kart rewards you with the best Kart you can get: the Legend Wave. This Dragon Kart has no major weaknesses and is the second Kart in a row to only feature a low Weight as its major deficiency.

The triumvirate of near-maxed Top Speed, Acceleration, and Handling would have been plenty, but add equally high Durability and Ring Recovery to this kart, and you have the best Dragon Kart in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. There’s simply no other Kart that can compare to the Legend Wave.
