Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the cream of the crop weapons are legendary, requiring some time and effort to acquire. Once obtained, upgrading these weapons is key to tackling the game's challenges effectively.

Here are the top weapons for Naoe:

WeaponTypePerks and StatsLocation/How to Get
Yami no KageKatanaEngraving: Deal 100% damage to the attacker on Deflect.Hidden chest in Haraiyama Fort, at the Warfields in Harima.
BloodshadeKatanaBonus Stat: Bleed Buildup
Engraving: Affliction Buildup is not lost over time.
Hidden chest in the large ship in Osaka, in the Izumi Settsu region.
Masked DeathKatanaBonus Stat: Adrenaline Gain
Engraving: Posture attack remains charged after Dodge.
Hidden chest in an empty camp in Shimagahara Valley, Otogi Pass. Look on the ground for blood trails, and follow it to the campsite.
Yukimitsu’s RevengeTantoEngraving: Afflicted enemies are Vulnerable.Hidden chest in the Ancient Tomb of Nanjo, at the Eagle’s Nest in Yamashiro.
Igan SunsetTantoBonus Stat: Vulnerable Damage
Engraving: Slow down time on Escape Strike.
Hidden chest in Tozuku’s Lair, in the Katana Foothills. Located in the Izumi Settsu region.

You might wonder why Kusarigamas are missing from this list. The truth is, they don’t match up to the superior performance of Tantos and Katanas in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If you're set on using a Kusarigama, opt for one with Poison effects, though they still lag behind the other weapon types. Katanas are Naoe's strongest weapon class, with Tantos a close second. Any weapon listed here will significantly enhance your gameplay.

Best Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Now, let’s look at the best weapons for Yasuke:

WeaponTypePerks and StatsLocation/How to Get
Turquoise ZephyrLong KatanaBonus Stat: Adrenaline Gain
Engraving: Successful parries push nearby enemies back.
Hidden chest at the Eagle’s Nest in the Yamashiro region.
Venom PillarKanabaBonus Stat: Vulnerable Damage
Engraving: Posture attacks by alternating attack types.
Hidden chest at Kajimiya Cemetery, at Mount Hiei in Omi.
Time Honored CrescentNaginataBonus Stat: Critical Damage
Engraving: First Strike makes enemies Vulnerable every eight seconds.
Hidden chest at Kashiwabara Fortress, at the Ibu Highlands in Omi.

Yasuke's top weapon choices, while fewer, are incredibly powerful. I particularly recommend the Long Katana and Kanaba combo for a dynamic and effective fighting style, especially with the legendary weapons listed above.

These are the best weapons you can equip for Naoe and Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and in-depth guides, including how to complete the Tea Ceremony and locate Imai Sokyu, make sure to visit The Escapist.
