Best Of
Two protagonists lead the charge inAssassins Creed Shadows, each with a unique fighting style.
Each characters weapon varies in quality, stats, and ability.
Some enhance your characters skills, while others exploit your enemys weakness.
Still, a few have valuable passive skills that can give you an extra edge in combat.
For assured victory, you want the following best weapons inAssassins Creed Shadowsby your side.
Vengeful Foe (Naginata) Yasuke
Although Naginatas aremelee-based weapons, they are pretty lengthy.
Thus, they help keep Yasuke at a safe distance from the enemys strikes.
Among the Naginata at your disposal, the Vengeful Foe stands out for its passive perk.
For every successful parry, the Vengeful Foe will inflict 35% of Bleed Buildup damage.
It makes it so that every time you deflect an incoming attack, the enemy sustains 100% damage.
Its damage rate isnt too shabby either, dealing 450 weapons damage and 3078 posture damage.
The ability damage attached to this Katana is even more impressive at 4232 points.
Whisper of Muramasa (Long Katana) Yasuke
Theres nothing like successfully landing a counterattack.
But you could further make the most of your counterattacks with the Whisper of Muramasa Long Katana for Yasuke.
Precisely, Masked Death charges up your posture attack.
It keeps your posture attack charged even after you perform a dodge.
Oceans Grip (Kusarigama) Naoe
Yasuke is better at fighting waves of enemies than Naoe.
This weapon allows you to remain at a safe distance while taking down groups of enemies with ease.
Combo Enders are a global passive ability that you’ve got the option to equip on Yasuke.
They unleash one or multiple unique basic attacks that increase damage output.
Still, if successful, the damage output is immense.
This weapon unleashes an AoE attack that gives you the window to dodge enemy attacks.
It can be the saving grace you oughta conserve Naoes low-running health bar.
Yet there are certain scenarios where you have no choice but to use a Katana against heavy-armored enemies.
With the Flowing Peace Katana for Yasuke, though, you should stand a fighting chance.
Youd be surprised how big of a difference Flowing Peace makes in thetoughest battles.
Bloodshade, a Katana for Naoe, solely focuses on drawing blood.
Any enemy caught in the crossfire will have hell to pay, thanks to the weapons Affliction Buildup.
Enemies will bleed faster at the mercy of the Bloodshade Katana.
Besides bleeding, the Katana also inflicts additional Poison and Daze damage.
The damage output is significant enough that it can easily destroy elite foes.
As an extra perk, the Affliction Buildup passive ability doesnt deteriorate over time.
So, it’s possible for you to carry it forward into battles with tankier, more dangerous foes.
Crimsons Edge (Long Katana) Yasuke
Lastly, consider the Crimsons Edge Long Katana for Yasuke.
As its name suggests, Crimsons Edge is all about drawing blood.
Its Bleed passive ability instantly kills every enemy whos below two health segments.
Two health segments are a big deal, especially when clearing out waves of enemies.
However, note that Bleed only activates when its gauge is filled up.
The good news is Bleed not only applies to smaller enemies butbosses, too.
And thats it for the best weapons inUbisoft’s Assassins Creed Shadows.
