Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the cream of the crop when it comes to weapons are those of legendary quality. These elite weapons take some time to acquire, but once you do, they're definitely worth upgrading to tackle the game's toughest challenges.

Here’s a rundown of the best weapons for Naoe:

You might have noticed the absence of Kusarigamas in this list. They simply can't compete with the power and efficiency of Katanas and Tantos. If you're set on using a Kusarigama, go for one with Poison effects, but remember, they won't match up to the other weapon types.

Overall, the Katana stands out as the strongest weapon type for Naoe, with the Tanto following closely. Any weapon from the list above will enhance your gameplay significantly.
