In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Ubisoft returns to the RPG roots of the series, making it crucial to equip the best weapons, especially on higher difficulties. Here's a comprehensive guide to the top weapons for Naoe and Yasuke, along with how to obtain them.
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the pinnacle of weaponry is the legendary tier, requiring some patience to acquire. Once obtained, upgrading these weapons is essential to tackle 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. 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. |
Notably, Kusarigamas are absent from this list as they don't match up to the effectiveness of Katanas and Tantos. If you're keen on using a Kusarigama, opt for ones with Poison effects, though they remain less efficient. Katanas stand out as Naoe's most potent weapon type, followed closely by Tantos. Any weapon from the list above will significantly enhance your gameplay.
For Yasuke, the best weapons, while fewer in number, are incredibly powerful. The Long Katana and Kanaba combination offers a formidable duo, particularly when equipped with the legendary weapons listed below.
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. |
