Encounters[]
- The Yakuza are very strong in melee as well as ranged combat, which can be great trouble even when wearing decent armor. Their strength and endurance scores are exceptional (10 and 8, respectively), while their skill with melee and unarmed weapons is equivalent to Sulik after two level-ups. However, their ability to fight is mitigated by their reliance on the wakizashi and throwing knives (which they can't throw accurately, due to having an unmodified Throwing skill), and the lack of proper protection.
- The Yakuza use a generic guard AI packet, meaning they exhibit standard behavior, rather than anything special.
