Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin's Creed Shadows

The finest weapons in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* are all legendary-grade, requiring some investment before acquisition. However, upgrading them proves essential for overcoming the game's toughest encounters.

Kusarigamas aren't featured here because they noticeably underperform compared to Tantos and Katanas. While poison variants can be serviceable, they consistently fall short of other options.

Katanas emerge as Naoe's strongest weapon type, with Tantos being excellent secondary choices. All listed weapons deliver exceptional performance.
