During the course of the main story in Like A Dragon Gaiden, you will unlock the Coliseum. One of the main modes here is called Hell Team Rumble, where you can put together teams from people you recruit. There are many different characters you can recruit, too, through various methods. You will find a total of 37 different characters to recruit, so there’s a lot of choice here to construct a team.
There are a total of 37 different fighters you can recruit to your team.
How to Recruit Coliseum Fighters¶
There are three methods in which to recruit fighters to your team in Like A Dragon Gaiden. The first is through Requests via the Akame Network. You will be able to find some Requests that give you a recruitable character upon finishing them. There are a total of 11 characters that can be gotten with this method. Another way you can get some more fighters is through Recruiter NPCs in the Castle map. While some of them might have requirements before they offer fighters, they will usually have multiple.
As an example, upon first unlocking the Hell Team Rumble matches, there is one woman behind a counter in the Fighters’ Lounge who has a magnifying glass icon above her head. All of the NPCs that offer this service will have that icon, so keep a lookout for them. If they require something beforehand, then make sure you meet that requirement. Otherwise, you just need to pay for the fighters to join you. Each recruiter will have three or four fighters, and there are only four of these NPCs.

The last method to obtaining new fighters for your team is via beating them in the Coliseum first. Both the Tournament and Hell Rumble matches will have four characters each, one for each rank, that can join. After defeating them, you will then need to go to the Fighters’ Lounge and they will be standing by the counter. Speak to them, fulfill any request they have, and they will finally be yours. There are a total of eight fighters like this, four for the Tournament and four for Hell Rumble (one for each rank). Except for one instance, it may take a few tries to get some of the fighters to show up in the lounge after beating them.

All Arena Fighters¶
The following list contains all of the fighters you can recruit from the actual Coliseum battles.

For the Hell Rumbles, those aren’t the team ones, but the ones where you go solo against a number of enemies. Make sure you pick the right ones where you see that particular character in the mix, which is usually the first one on the list, barring Nightmare. If you’re wondering which characters to use in your team battles, that will be on a separate page.
