Ubisoft returns to the RPG roots with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, making it crucial to equip the right gear, especially on higher difficulties. Here’s a detailed guide on 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 top-tier weapons you'll want to hunt down are legendary. While it might take some time to acquire them, the effort is well worth it for the boost they provide against the game's toughest challenges.

Notice the absence of Kusarigamas from this list? That's because they fall short compared to the superior performance of Katanas and Tantos in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. If you're set on using a Kusarigama, opt for ones with Poison effects, though they're still less effective overall. Katanas reign supreme for Naoe, with Tantos as a strong alternative. Any of the weapons listed above will significantly enhance your gameplay.

Best Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

For Yasuke, the weapon choices might be fewer, but they are equally potent. Here are the top picks:

The Long Katana and Kanaba are particularly effective for Yasuke, offering a formidable combo that can dominate in battle. With these legendary weapons in hand, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle any challenge in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
