Once you begin playing as Kazuma Kiryu and Yoshitaka Mine, you can use Yen to improve their abilities through Skill Trees. Each tree has five different skills, and you need to fully upgrade each skill four times before you can move on to the next one.
You can earn extra money by defeating enemies called Reapers, or by playing mahjong at the Lullaby Mahjong parlor (for Kiryu) and the Dragon Palace Gambling Hall (for Mine).
| Character Storyline | Health Skill Tree Node | Upgrade Cost Per Node |
|---|---|---|
| Kazuma Kiryu (Yakuza Kiwami 3) | 1st Node | 6,000 Yen |
| 2nd Node | 30,000 Yen | |
| 3rd Node | 100,000 Yen | |
| 4th Node | 200,000 Yen | |
| 5th Node | 500,000 Yen | |
| Yoshitaka Mine (Dark Ties) | 1st Node | 70,000 Yen |

Switching between skill upgrades now costs a lot more. It’s really important to save your game before you use your resources to improve your stats and skills.
Focus on improving Kiryu and Mine’s HP through their Skill Trees. This will help them withstand powerful attacks and special moves, keeping them alive longer.
