Naoe excels in agility and stealth in Shadows
Naoe is a character in the game Assassin's Creed Shadows, known for her agility and stealth skills. She aims to avenge her past by attacking her enemies from the shadows. This guide covers the best skills and perks to improve her effectiveness in the game. Naoe has two main archetypes: Shinobi and Assassin. The Shinobi focus is on fast movement and traversal, while the Assassin focus is on killing enemies quickly and gaining adrenaline. She can use melee weapons such as the Katana, Kusarigama, and Tanto, which unlock new skill trees as you obtain each weapon. Unlike Yasuke, Naoe does not primarily use ranged weapons but has several useful tools in combat. For the Shinobi skill tree, important abilities include Heighten Senses, which slows down time when detected, and Shinobi Mastery, which increases her health. Other useful passives include Prodigy for increased damage, and Ninja Fall to reduce fall damage. In the Assassin tree, Nightcrawler boosts damage at night, while Executioner increases damage against vulnerable foes. Skills like Guard Breaker enhance her melee attacks, and Melee Expert raises overall melee damage. For the Kusarigama, Multi-target Expert increases damage when attacking multiple enemies, and Critical Proficiency boosts critical hit damage. A standout skill is Shadow Barrage, which makes Naoe invulnerable for short periods, allowing her to evade attacks and deliver powerful combos. In dealing with tools, Kunai focuses on assassination damage, while Smoke Bomb allows her to regain stealth during combat. Lastly, Larger Tool Bag increases her capacity for carrying tools. This guide provides insight into optimizing Naoe’s skills in Assassin's Creed Shadows to enhance her gameplay experience.
