All of the legendaryweapons for Yasukehave their strengths and weaknesses, with each one catering to a different playing style and build.Assassin’s Creed Shadowsplayers will find this out for themselves soon enough, although finding all of Yasuke’s legendary weapons is not quite so straightforward.
As Yasuke has two more weapon types available to him than Naoe does, his list of legendary weapons is quite a bit longer. A lot more of them are obtained through side quests, too, so those who focus solely on the main story ofAssassin’s Creed Shadowsmay find themselves a little light on options.
