As you explore feudal Japan, you\u2019ll find many fabulous body armors, helmets, robes, and headbands, but some are worth wearing more than others \u2014 and we\u2019re not just talking about looks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/assassins-creed-shadows-guides\/541239\/armor-sets-all-list-locations-how-to-get\">Armor<\/a> and headgear of \u201clegendary\u201d quality comes with a unique gameplay perk and (usually) the best stats, which is why you\u2019ll only find legendary equipment on this list. These perks range from okay-ish to absolutely overpowered, and if you pair them with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/548574\">best weapons<\/a>, you\u2019ll can really max out your builds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Each character has just two equipment slots: light armor and headgear for Naoe, armor and helmets for Yasuke. Some headgear and armor pieces belong to the same set (they\u2019ll have a similar name and look) but you don\u2019t need to \u201ccomplete\u201d a set to unlock the perk, so it\u2019s perfectly fine to mix and match the best items.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Below, we\u2019ll show to the <strong>best weapons in <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em><\/strong>, broken down into four categories (two for each character).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Update (April 2):<\/strong> We\u2019ve added additional legendary items to round out our list of the best armor.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-light-armor-for-naoe\">Best light armor for Naoe<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The <strong>best armor for Naoe<\/strong> plays into her role as an assassin. Better vaulting abilities and HP restoration aren\u2019t bad, but it\u2019s far more useful to gain the power to assassinate two targets at once or deplete more health upon assassination attempts. Here\u2019s the best body armor for your stealthy shinobi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-master-gear\">Tools Master Gear<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Throw a kunai at the closest enemy after an assassination<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Izumi Settsu, Katano Castle (north of Osaka)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Upon reaching Knowledge Rank 2, you can use Naoe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/assassins-creed-shadows-guides\/538625\/mastery-points-how-to-get\">mastery points<\/a> to unlock the \u201cdouble assassinate\u201d ability, which allows her to kill two targets at once. Thanks to the Tools Master Gear set, however, you can perform double assassinations long before you reach that Knowledge Rank; since early-game enemies aren\u2019t that strong, a kunai in the head usually kills them, thus saving you a lot of trouble. The Tools Master Gear is also one of the best legendary armors in <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em> because the kunai used with the perk is free (it won\u2019t decrease the number of kunai you\u2019re carrying) and the armor location is conveniently close to Osaka, where you start the game.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"swift-shinobi-robes\">Swift Shinobi Robes<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Removes +2 health segments on air assassinate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: The northwestern part of Iga, inside Hijiyama Fort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">This fantastic shinobi outfit unlocks instant-assassination opportunities like no other early- to mid-game gear piece. It removes two health segments (two chunks of the enemy&#8217;s HP bar) upon air assassinations. Since many early-game enemies don\u2019t even have more than two health segments, this translates to immediate defeats. But even if you\u2019re up against a burly Samurai Daisho with five health segments, depleting his HP by 40% before the fight really begins is a rather welcome effect. Combine this with an Assassination Damage upgrade or two (the Assassin Mastery tree), and this Naoe armor becomes truly overpowered.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noh-masterstroke-costume\">Noh Masterstroke Costume<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Spread affliction buildup on affected enemy kill<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Hidden in the Iimori Cave, Kii province<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re going for an affliction-based Naoe build, the Noh Masterstroke Costume is by far the best armor in <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em>. Since it requires many consecutive hits, building affliction can become a frustrating task, which may even feel wasted on weaker enemies as they could die of direct damage before the affliction buildup is complete. The Noh Masterstroke Costume fixes that issue by spreading the affliction to nearby enemies, so the buildup is no longer wasted. It\u2019s highly recommended to pair this armor with the Bloodshade Katana, so you won\u2019t have to worry about affliction loss either.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"master-assassin-gear\">Master Assassin Gear<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Removes +2 health segments on assassinations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Complete the \u201cOut of the Shadows\u201d quest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Removing extra health segments with a specific assassination method is incredibly handy, but we\u2019ll do you one better: Naoe\u2019s Master Assassin Gear removes two extra health segments upon <em>every<\/em> assassination. It\u2019s basically the upgraded version of the Swift Shinobi Robes, removing the need to climb buildings and thus allowing more freedom. It\u2019s straightforward and incredibly powerful, but it comes with one caveat: you must finish the final main story quest to receive it.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-headgear-for-naoe\">Best headgear for Naoe<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">No armor set in Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows is complete without a helmet, hat, headband, or creepy mask. Here\u2019s an overview of the best headgear for Naoe \u2014 and remember; you can mix different sets, so Naoe\u2019s <strong>best headgear<\/strong> doesn\u2019t necessarily form a set with her best armor.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-master-mask\">Tools Master Mask<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Shuriken no longer break on hard impact<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: In Amagasaki Castle, Izumi Settsu (northwest of Osaka)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As a shinobi, Naoe relies on stealth and assassinations. Unfortunately, you can\u2019t expect to remain unseen for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/assassins-creed-shadows-guides\/541235\/walkthrough-main-missions-best-target-order\">entire playthrough<\/a> of <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em>; especially when facing groups or particularly tough enemies, you may be forced to fight in the open. Throwables are a great way to deal with such situations, as they allow you to keep some distance as you chip away at the enemy\u2019s HP. But here\u2019s the problem: You only get a limited supply until you find an opportunity to refill. Thanks to the Tools Master Mask, you don\u2019t need to worry about this anymore as you can collect your shuriken ninja stars after throwing; just get close to the defeated opponent and the shuriken will automatically return to your inventory. Now you can throw them as much as you like!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noh-masterstroke-mask\">Noh Masterstroke Mask<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Grants +20% of an adrenaline chunk upon affliction buildup<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Beneath the Mount Koya viewpoint, Kii province<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Active abilities come with amazingly high damage potential and afflictions are a great way to deal extra damage on top of your direct hits \u2014 combine the two, and Naoe becomes a melee powerhouse. With the Noh Masterstroke Mask equipped, she\u2019ll easily power her adrenaline gain (required to unleash abilities) by hitting enemies with affliction weapons, such as the Bloodshade Katana. This effect is particularly powerful when combined with the Noh Masterstroke Costume, which spreads affliction buildup upon afflicted enemy kills.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hidden-servant-hat\">Hidden Servant Hat<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Double adrenaline gain upon assassinations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Found in Takeda Castle, Tamba province<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If affliction buildup isn\u2019t quite your style, but you <em>are<\/em> willing to use assassination techniques, the Hidden Servant Hat is the best headgear to receive a massive adrenaline boost. Take the enemy down and use the extra adrenaline to obliterate other opponents \u2014 it\u2019s the perfect way to use stealth without becoming completely reliant on assassinations. The adrenaline gain is even stronger when combined with the Hidden Servant Kosode, but beware that this only works in restricted areas. Combos with the Master Assassin Gear (extra assassination damage) or the Tools Master Gear (free kunai shot upon assassinations) are even better.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hood-of-the-enraged\">Hood of the Enraged<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Deals +50% with tools while out of combat<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: DLC, part of the Gashadokuro pack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We know, <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em>\u2019 DLC armor can be difficult to obtain, but this legendary hood is far too good to ignore. Whether you get it from the in-game shop or by spending some Keys in the Shadows Exchange, the Hood of the Enraged will elevate Naoe\u2019s stealth build. It works best if you use kunai (rather than shuriken) to land headshots from the shadows \u2014 and thanks to that 50% extra damage, it\u2019ll be <em>much<\/em> easier to achieve instant kills on weaker enemies and get a head start against tougher ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-armor-for-yasuke\">Best armor for Yasuke<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Yasuke\u2019s greatest strengths are his superb defensiveness and downright destructive blows deriving from his counters and posture attacks. So, naturally, the <strong>best armor for Yasuke<\/strong> improves that sturdiness while boosting his strongest strikes. Let\u2019s see which Yasuke armor you shouldn\u2019t miss out on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"protector-s-armor\">Protector\u2019s Armor<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Can parry unblockable attacks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: In Nijo Palace, in the middle of Kyoto, Yamashiro province<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Not only is this shiny golden gear one of the first legendary armor pieces you can get for Yasuke, it\u2019s also one of the best. Although Yasuke isn\u2019t bad at dodging (but not quite as good as Naoe), it\u2019s usually better to parry an incoming enemy attack as this allows you to avoid damage and instantly counterattack. Unfortunately, you can\u2019t parry \u201cunblockable\u201d attacks as Yasuke\u2026 unless you have the Protector\u2019s Armor. With this legendary armor equipped, you no longer need to be wary of incoming attack types; just parry as much as you can and take every opportunity to reverse the damage. To make the most of this magnificent ability, consider wearing the full Protector\u2019s armor set \u2014 the helmet increases Yasuke\u2019s parry damage.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outfit-of-the-legendary-ronin\">Outfit of the Legendary Ronin<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-18.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Improves damage by 50% while in combat after a brutal assassination<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Miyazu Castle, Tamba province<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If a 50% damage bonus sounds good to you, the Outfit of the Legendary Ronin is your friend. As long as you start the battle with a brutal assassination, you will get the bonus \u2014 easy! You don\u2019t even need to focus on the brutal assassination\u2019s damage itself \u2014 you can just use it to dispose of weaker enemies and gain an advantage against larger ones, but if you want to go full assassin mode with Yasuke, equipping the full Legendary Ronin set is wise as the Kasa (headgear) removes two additional health segments for each assassination. Beware that you must unlock Yasuke\u2019s brutal assassinations first, which you\u2019ll find in the Samurai Mastery (starting at Knowledge Rank 1), but this shouldn\u2019t take too long.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"extravagant-kabukimono-outfit\">Extravagant Kabukimono Outfit<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Grants 100% of an adrenaline chunk after a weakpoint attack<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Hidden on an island near Yura Fishing Village, northern Tamba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Many of Yasuke\u2019s strongest attacks come from his abilities. Sadly, abilities require adrenaline, which can take tediously long to replenish, even with a high adrenaline gain. The power to collect a full adrenaline chunk upon every weakpoint attack is therefore a most welcome perk. We won\u2019t lie; there is a bit of a learning curve as you must trigger a vulnerable state through well-timed parries and dodges before hitting the vulnerable enemy with a light posture attack, but once you get the hang of it, the extra ability usage is absolutely worth it. The Extravagant Kabukimono Outfit is even better when paired with ability- and weakpoint-based effects, most notably one of Yasuke\u2019s best headgear: the Red Dragon Helmet. Now you get instant adrenaline <em>and<\/em> instant healing upon weakpoint attacks!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-helmets-for-yasuke\">Best helmets for Yasuke<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Yasuke\u2019s <strong>best headgear<\/strong> makes him more defensive or damaging in open combat \u2014 preferably both.

Parrying is a great way to deflect damage even without a boost, but the Protector\u2019s Helmet makes it ridiculously easy to turn the enemy\u2019s fortune whenever they try to hit you. Beware that unblockable attacks can\u2019t be parried, but that\u2019s why we recommend wearing the full Protector\u2019s set, as the Protector\u2019s Armor allows Yasuke to parry unblockable attacks too.

If you\u2019d rather rely on Yasuke\u2019s posture attacks, a.k.a. his charged attacks, the Defense Master Headwrap is the best headgear for you. There\u2019s just one problem: To perform a posture attack, you must find an opening to charge it. It\u2019ll only take a second, but that\u2019s enough to get hit by a slightly faster opponent. This is where the Defense Master Headwrap comes in: every time you dodge an attack, time is slowed down, thus granting you the opportunity to charge the posture attack in peace \u2014 now you can unleash these devastating blows as often as you want.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kasa-of-the-legendary-ronin\">Kasa of the Legendary Ronin<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-27.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Removes +2 health segments upon Brutal Assassinations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Fukuchiyama Castle in central Tamba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Yasuke should leave the assassinations to Naoe? Not anymore! As long as he wears the Kasa of the Legendary Ronin, he can easily walk up to his enemies (from behind, mind) and take them down with an extra-powerful brutal assassination. Weaker ones will instantly perish while sturdier ones become far easier to defeat \u2014 especially when combining this brilliant helmet with the Outfit of the Legendary Ronin, which grants a 50% damage bonus after a brutal assassination. Don\u2019t forget to unlock the brutal assassination ability in the Samurai Mastery tree!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"extravagant-kabukimono-headgear\">Extravagant Kabukimono Headgear<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-28.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-29.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Automatically perform a weakpoint attack upon a succesful parry<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Hidden in Narutaki Falls, southern Tamba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Weakpoint attacks are wonderfully efficient ways to deplete enemy HP, but they can be difficult to trigger. First, you must parry an incoming attack or dodge an incoming unblockable attack, then you must hit the vulnerable enemy (who has an orange glow) with a light posture attack. You must remember the order, get the timing right, be fast about it, and not get interrupted. If it\u2019s all a bit much, the Extravagant Kabukimono Headgear is a real gamechanger as it removes the second part of that instruction; you just need to parry enemy attacks. This legendary headgear is particularly powerful when worn as a full set, because the Extravagant Kabukimono Outfit adds free adrenaline chunks with every weakpoint hit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"red-dragon-helmet\">Red Dragon Helmet<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-16 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-best-armor-in-assassins-creed-shadows-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Ubisoft Quebec\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perk<\/strong>: Restore 33% health on weakpoint attack<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: DLC, part of the Sekiryu pack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Would you like to become immortal? Place this shiny red helmet on Yasuke\u2019s head, and your wish is granted. Since rations are limited, HP restoration can be a major concern in <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em>, especially if you prefer a close-quarters combat style. With this helmet, you can replenish Yasuke\u2019s health as often as necessary \u2014 just be sure to land a weakpoint attack every now and then. It may require some practice, but here\u2019s how to do it; when an enemy is vulnerable (orange glow), hit them with a light posture attack. The only downside is that the Red Dragon Helmet is a DLC helmet, so you must either purchase it from the in-game store or spend Keys (which you can find through exploration) in the \u201cShadows Exchange\u201d whenever it\u2019s featured.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For more <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em> guides, see our running lists of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/assassins-creed-shadows-guides\/541459\/lost-pages-temples-locations-all-list-where-to-find\">Lost Pages<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/assassins-creed-shadows-guides\/541590\/kuji-kiri-locations-all-list-maps-where-to-find\">Kuji-kiri<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/assassins-creed-shadows-guides\/541239\/armor-sets-all-list-locations-how-to-get\">armor<\/a> locations.
