Top Weapons in Assassin

Ubisoft returns to the RPG roots with *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, emphasizing the importance of gearing up, especially on higher difficulties. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best weapons for both Naoe and Yasuke, and how to obtain them 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 some time and effort to acquire. However, once you get them, upgrading these weapons is crucial to tackling the game's challenges effectively.

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 of the Izumi Settsu region.

Note that Kusarigamas are not included in this list due to their inferior performance compared to Tantos and Katanas. If you prefer Kusarigamas, those with Poison effects are a good choice, though they still lag behind the other weapon types. Katanas are the most powerful for Naoe, with Tantos being a strong alternative. The weapons listed above will significantly enhance your gameplay.

Best Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows

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.

Yasuke's weapon options are somewhat limited but highly effective. The Long Katana and Kanaba combination is particularly potent, offering a versatile combat approach, especially when equipped with the legendary weapons listed above.
