Ubisoft brings the beloved *Assassin’s Creed* series back to its RPG roots 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 acquire 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 of legendary quality, requiring some time and effort to obtain. However, once you have them, upgrading these weapons is essential to tackle the game's challenges effectively.

Noticeably absent from this list are Kusarigamas, which are less effective compared to the Tantos and Katanas available in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. If you prefer using a Kusarigama, opt for one with Poison effects, though they remain less efficient than the other weapon types. For Naoe, Katanas are the most powerful, with Tantos being a strong second choice. Any of the weapons listed above will significantly enhance your gameplay.

Best Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Here are the top weapons for Yasuke:

Yasuke's weapon options are more limited but equally potent. The Long Katana and Kanaba combination is particularly effective, delivering a powerful one-two punch, especially with the legendary weapons listed above.

These are the best weapons to equip for Naoe and Yasuke in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides on the game, including how to complete the Tea Ceremony and locate Imai Sokyu, be sure to visit The Escapist.
