Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin's Creed Shadows

All top-tier weapons in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* are legendary quality, requiring some time investment to obtain. However, upgrading these weapons proves essential for tackling the game's tougher challenges.

Here are Naoe's most powerful weapons:

Kusarigamas were excluded from this list as they consistently underperform compared to Katanas and Tantos. While poison-based Kusarigamas have situational utility, they lack the efficiency of other weapon types.

Katanas emerge as Naoe's strongest weapon category, with Tantos serving as excellent secondary options. Any of the listed weapons will significantly enhance combat effectiveness.

While Yasuke's weapon options appear more limited, they deliver formidable power. The Long Katana/Kanaba combination proves particularly effective, especially when using the legendary weapons listed above.
