Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the best weapons you can acquire are of legendary quality, which means you'll need to invest some time before you can start collecting them. Once you do, upgrading these weapons is essential to tackle the game's challenges effectively.

Below is a list of the best weapons for Naoe:

You might notice the absence of Kusarigamas in this list. That's because they are less effective compared to Tantos and Katanas in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. If you prefer using Kusarigamas, those with Poison effects can be useful, but they still fall short of the efficiency of the other two weapon types.

Overall, Katanas are the strongest weapon type for Naoe, with Tantos being a close second. Any of the weapons listed above will serve you well.
