Assassin’s Creed Shadows introduces a diverse array of weaponry and gear that empowers players to develop formidable builds for Yasuke, allowing him to confront adversaries of any caliber. While Yasuke is designed primarily as a direct combat character, players can also harness stealth elements found in Naoe’s skillset. This particular Yasuke build provides a strategic blend of stealth and high damage output, making it significantly versatile. Moreover, the equipment necessary for this optimum build can be acquired early on, enhancing accessibility for players.
Naoe’s Ultimate Build in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Consider this build as a foundational guideline, offering the flexibility to modify engravings or equipment to better fit your unique playstyle.
Yasuke’s Signature Long Katana
The cornerstone of this Yasuke build is undoubtedly the Myth Slayer’s legendary katana. This weapon delivers superior damage per second (DPS) while imparting a unique perk that renders enemies vulnerable following a combo finisher. Additionally, players can customize the Myth Slayer with the Turquoise Zephyr engraving, enabling Yasuke to repel nearby foes after successfully performing a parry.
Yasuke’s Ranged Weapon: The Bow
The Blush of the Earth legendary bow serves as an excellent secondary weapon in this build. It is particularly effective for eliminating distant enemies stealthily. With its unique ability to extend the duration of the Clear Mind bow skill, players can slow time for more accurate shots, maximizing the potential for one-shot eliminations.
Be sure to first unlock the Clear Mind bow skill in the skill tree to fully benefit from this bow’s capabilities.
Protective Headgear: Yasuke’s Helmet
For this build, the Protector’s Helmet is ideal as it synergizes perfectly with the Myth Slayer’s perks. As players engage multiple enemies and utilize parrying strategies, the helmet amplifies damage dealt to foes by an impressive 50%, enhancing Yasuke’s offensive capabilities.
Defensive Gear: Yasuke’s Armor
When it comes to defensive options, the Protector’s Armor stands out as the premier choice for Yasuke. This armor features a unique perk that enables players to parry unblockable (red) attacks. For those who have unlocked this ability within the skill tree, consider resetting Mastery and redistributing skill points to further enhance this build.
Essential Accoutrement: Yasuke’s Amulet
For an ideal amulet to complement the Yasuke build, players can select one that aligns with their preferences. Currently, the Kitsune’s Trickery legendary amulet is a standout option, providing a valuable perk that grants Yasuke +1% health for every mastery point allocated in the Samurai skill tree.
