In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, samurai weapons range from massive clubs to sleek naginatas. While you could combine a heavy melee weapon with a lighter one, consider using one of Yasuke’s ranged weapons too; a well-aimed shot will certainly start the battle in your favor.

I kind of messed up, guys. In assuming that Assassin's Creed Shadows would be like the series' past RPG entries – think the largely inconsequential player decisions in Valhalla and Odyssey, for example – I discovered that it's possible to be such a stubborn, vengeful asshole that recruitable allies refuse to join your cause.

The same applies in Assassin's Creed Shadows, as Naoe and Yasuke can recruit members for their group, allowing them (and, by extension, you) to summon these allies in battle to give you a hand. Some even help during stealth segments.
