Naoe’s Best Assassin Skills in AC Shadows

Reinforced Blade

Reinforced Blade – Hidden Blade can now be used against large enemies.

You’ll encounter elites quite frequently, which should help you clear areas more easily. However, the biggest benefit is combining this with some more assassination damage and “one-shotting” those elites with an assassination move.

Your main problem would be assassinating the elites, and they still end up living. It can’t be an assassination without them dying, right? If they live through your assassination, which they will, they’ll most likely alert everyone else. If you get Reinforced Blade and Assassination Damage, you’ll one-shot these elites and play like the best assassin to ever live.

Reinforced Blade also upgrades to Hand of the Creed, allowing you to use the Hidden Blade even when they suddenly see you coming.

Improved Sense – Increase longevity of Eagle Vision’s effect after deactivation.

Eagle Vision is an incredibly useful tool for a ninja. It perfectly lays out all the enemies, and you can plan accordingly. If you are the type of player who loves to get immersed and try not to get caught as much as possible, Improved Sense should help you drastically by gaining more information.

Assassination Damage

Assassination Damage I – removes one additional health segment with assassinations.

As mentioned above, Assassination Damage helps you eliminate stronger foes — like elites — in one assassination. You can upgrade the skill twice, removing one more additional health segment with each upgrade. There’s nothing much to say about the skill, but the extra damage is pretty useful.

Rush Assassinate – While using a Kusarigama, Naoe can close the distance and deal Assassination damage to a single target.

Rush Assassinate is one of Naoe’s coolest abilities. You lunge forward when doing an assassination, giving you more range when trying to learn an area. You’ll surely want to use it for its mobility, as you can get around quicker and clear areas faster.

The rest of the skills mainly improve your stats; you’ll get them eventually when you max out.
