Top Weapons in Assassin's Creed Shadows Revealed
Ubisoft returns to the RPG roots with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, emphasizing the importance of gearing up, especially on higher difficulties. Here's a detailed guide on the best weapons and how to obtain them for both Naoe and Yasuke in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the top-tier weapons are legendary, requiring time and effort to acquire. Upgrading these weapons is essential to tackle the game's challenges effectively. Below is a curated list of the best weapons for Naoe:
Weapon | Type | Perks and Stats | Location/How to Get |
---|---|---|---|
Yami no Kage | Katana | Engraving: Deal 100% damage to the attacker on Deflect. | Hidden chest in Haraiyama Fort, at the Warfields in Harima. |
Bloodshade | Katana | Bonus 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 Death | Katana | Bonus Stat: Adrenaline Gain Engraving: Posture attack remains charged after Dodge. |
Hidden chest in an empty camp in Shimagahara Valley, Otogi Pass. Follow blood trails to the campsite. |
Yukimitsu’s Revenge | Tanto | Engraving: Afflicted enemies are Vulnerable. | Hidden chest in the Ancient Tomb of Nanjo, at the Eagle’s Nest in Yamashiro. |
Igan Sunset | Tanto | Bonus 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. |
Notably, Kusarigamas are excluded from this list due to their inferiority compared to Tantos and Katanas in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. While Kusarigamas with Poison effects can be viable, they remain less effective overall. Katanas stand out as the most powerful weapon type for Naoe, with Tantos closely following.
Best Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Here are the top weapons for Yasuke, ensuring a strong arsenal for tackling the game's challenges:
Weapon | Type | Perks and Stats | Location/How to Get |
---|---|---|---|
Turquoise Zephyr | Long Katana | Bonus Stat: Adrenaline Gain Engraving: Successful parries push nearby enemies back. |
Hidden chest at the Eagle’s Nest in the Yamashiro region. |
Venom Pillar | Kanaba | Bonus Stat: Vulnerable Damage Engraving: Posture attacks by alternating attack types. |
Hidden chest at Kajimiya Cemetery, at Mount Hiei in Omi. |
Time Honored Crescent | Naginata | Bonus Stat: Critical Damage Engraving: First Strike makes enemies Vulnerable every eight seconds. |
Hidden chest at Kashiwabara Fortress, at the Ibu Highlands in Omi. |
While Yasuke's weapon options are fewer, they are exceptionally potent. The Long Katana and Kanaba combination is particularly effective, offering a formidable one-two punch when equipped with the legendary weapons listed above.
These are the premier weapons for Naoe and Yasuke in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For further insights and tips, including how to master the Tea Ceremony and locate Imai Sokyu, keep an eye on The Escapist.
