Best Weapons for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the cream of the crop weapons are of legendary quality, requiring some time and effort to obtain. Once you secure these weapons, upgrading them is crucial to tackling the game's challenges effectively.

Here are the top weapons for Naoe:

Notably, Kusarigamas are not included in this list due to their inferiority compared to Tantos and Katanas.
