Naoe is the assassination-focused protagonist in Assassins Creed Shadows. It is likely that you will spend a lot of time playing as Naoe in this particular title, so it is crucial that you have a build that matches it. I have the best Assassins Creed Shadows build that I recommend for all Naoe players.
Best Assassins Creed Shadows Build for Naoe
The best Assassins Creed Shadows build for Naoe will involve the abilities you use and focus more on the stealth side. There is not much point, in my opinion, to make Naoe into more of a tanky, action RPG character. That is what Yasuke is for. As such, here are the skills and abilities that I suggest you use for the best possible stealth build for Naoe:
- Hand of the Creed: This ensures your assassinations are always going to work
- Kunai Assassination Damage: This makes your Kunai tools pretty much work as a way to assassinate foes from far away
- Larger Tool Bag: This pairs nicely with the Kunai skill, letting you carry around more of these to use
- Reinforced Blade: You can now assassinate any enemy no matter who or what they are
- Shoji Door Assassination: This lets you assassinate certain enemies through doors while inside a building
Best Weapon Type for Naoe to Use
What at least makes things a lot easier for Naoe is the fact that you are able to use only three weapon types for her, so this simplifies everything. In my personal opinion, the best pairing is to have a katana and tanto for Naoe at all times. More specifically, I recommend the Call of the Void legendary tanto for this build.
This particular tanto will give you a great increase to damage against enemies that you have already marked using the Eagle Vision feature. This is a great way to make your assassinations stronger and give yourself a backup if you are ever caught. It is not only the best weapon for this build, but one of the best weapons in general for Naoe.
