Ubisoft has masterfully brought the RPG elements back to the forefront with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, making it crucial to equip yourself with the right gear, especially as you tackle the game's higher difficulty settings. Below, we dive into the best weapons for Naoe and Yasuke, along with how to acquire them in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the top-tier weapons you'll want to chase are of legendary quality. These weapons may take some time to obtain, but upgrading them is essential for meeting the game's challenging demands.

Noticeably absent from this list are Kusarigamas, which pale in comparison to the Katanas and Tantos you can obtain in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. While Kusarigamas with Poison effects can still be viable, they generally don’t match the efficiency of the other weapon types. For Naoe, Katanas are the most powerful, followed closely by Tantos. Any of the weapons listed above will significantly enhance your gameplay experience.

For Yasuke, here are the top weapons you should aim to acquire:

While Yasuke's weapon options are somewhat limited, they remain exceptionally potent. The Long Katana and Kanaba make an excellent combination, delivering a formidable one-two punch, particularly once you've secured the legendary weapons mentioned above.
