InLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the phone can be mightier than your barbed-wired baseball bat. Ichiban Kasuga acquires the poundmatesapp on his phone, enabling him to call in support for a fee. These phone-a-friend summons can turn the tide of a tough battle in a variety of ways and can combo with Ichiban and the party for entertaining effects.
Unsurprisingly, the poundmates are just as ridiculous as the enemies that populate Hawaii and Japan, bringing comic relief alongside devastating power. Ranging from a bicycle delivery driver to a pair of cruising crustaceans, the poundmates inject charisma into any battle they’re called into. They’re an invaluable asset when backed into a corner and can swing the momentum in the heat of battle.
How To Unlock Every Poundmate
You won’t unlock any poundmates until you progress through Chapter 3: The Fool, where Ichiban and the gang will mistakenly come across Chitose Buster Holmes. You get a quick demonstration of how to use the poundmates system and from there you’re able to add more members to the roster by completing substories, Life Links, Memories, and other activities around Hawaii and Japan.
