Kazama Kiryu returns in with various gadgets that you can get that best reflect his new fighting style. Four high-tech options change fights drastically, from wires that grapple enemies to rocket shoes that shoot you forward. When used in tandem with Kiryu's traditional close-range strikes, each gadget brings its edge to every battle.
Every gadget you get for your new persona as «Joryu» is made to pair with the Secret Agent fighting style in . This stance is one of two styles you can access in battle and focuses on the unorthodox tech used with precise movements. Agent is a better stance against large groups, with Kiryu striking with wide kicks that can hit multiple targets for a good amount of damage.
To unleash any of your gadgets in Agent style, you only need to hold one of the face buttons on a controller or whichever input corresponds to an attack.

The Firefly gadget is the third piece of tech you get in and are basically exploding cigarettes that Kiryu can toss at enemies during a fight. You gain this equipment from a merchant recommended to you by Mizorogi, a weapon expert you met to obtain other gadgets in the game. Holding down the X button on Xbox or the Square input on PlayStation makes Kiryu drop a Firefly onto the ground.
While this gadget has its uses, a few instances expose this tool's weaknesses more than its strengths. For starters, the explosion from each Firefly is small, only impacting a limited area that many enemies can avoid in. This makes the Firefly hard to utilize in 1v1 brawls since whoever you're fighting has plenty of time to dodge or move out of the way before the cigarette blows up.
Another vulnerability of the Firefly comes from its ability to damage Kiryu just as much as his enemies. From narrow alleys and tiny building rooms, this makes the gadget incredibly risky to use if you aren't fighting in an open space. The best situations for Firefly come from the Team Hell Rumbles found in the Coliseum Arena, where large waves of enemies take on your group of recruited fighters in .
The last gadget you receive in is the Serpent, which attaches rocket boots to Kiryu's feet to zip around fights, almost like he's skating across the ground. Hitting any enemy during this state deals damage when you activate the gadget by pressing A on Xbox or X on PlayStation. This cutting-edge tech is once again gifted to you by Mizorogi, who will apply it to any gear you place on your feet.
There are plenty of perks to using Serpent, including the ability to knock over enemies when you collide with them. The damage is nothing to scoff at, dealing about the same as a basic light attack combination
