Top Weapons in Assassin's Creed Shadows Revealed

Ubisoft brings the RPG experience back to life with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, making it crucial to equip the right gear, especially on higher difficulties. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best weapons 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 pinnacle of weaponry is the legendary tier, which requires some dedication to acquire. Once you've obtained these, upgrading them is essential to meet the game’s challenges head-on.
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. Look on the ground for blood trails, and follow it 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. |
You'll notice the absence of Kusarigamas in this list, and that’s intentional. Compared to Tantos and Katanas, they fall short in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. If you're keen on using a Kusarigama, opt for one with Poison effects, though they remain less effective overall. Katanas stand out as the premier choice for Naoe, followed closely by Tantos. Any of the weapons listed above will significantly enhance your gameplay.
Best Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
For Yasuke, the selection of top-tier weapons is more streamlined but no less impactful:
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 arsenal, though more limited, packs a punch. The combination of Long Katana and Kanaba offers a formidable offensive strategy, particularly with the legendary options listed above.
That wraps up the guide to the best weapons for Naoe and Yasuke in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides on the game, including mastering the Tea Ceremony and locating Imai Sokyu, be sure to visit The Escapist.
