Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the pinnacle of weaponry comes in the form of legendary items, which require some time to unlock. However, once acquired, these weapons are essential for tackling the game's toughest challenges. Upgrading them will ensure you remain competitive as you progress.

Here's a curated list of the top weapons for Naoe:

It's worth noting that Kusarigamas are not included in this list due to their comparative underperformance against Katanas and Tantos in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. While Kusarigamas with Poison effects can be useful, they generally fall short in efficiency. For Naoe, Katanas reign supreme, with Tantos offering a strong alternative. Any weapon from the above list will significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
