In Assassin's Creed Mirage, choosing between Yasuke and Naoe unlocks diverse approaches to problem-solving. This guide details all tools and their upgrades.
Five tools are available, two unlocked through story progression:
Grappling Hook
Naoe's unique advantage, the Grappling Hook lets you cling to structures and ascend without handholds. Ideal for observation and reaching high vantage points, it also enables traversal across gaps.
Kunai
A powerful throwing knife for silent eliminations. While effective against standard enemies, upgrades are crucial against armored foes.
Smoke Bomb
A versatile tool for both offense and defense. Create smoke screens to break line of sight or confuse enemies during combat, creating opportunities for swift assassinations.
Shuriken
Traditional throwing stars useful for exploration and environmental manipulation. Less powerful than Kunai, but effective for staggering enemies and triggering events like sabotaging alarm bells or detonating barrels. Upgrades allow ricocheting for increased damage.
Shinobi Bell
A distraction tool. Upgrades increase its range and effectiveness, drawing enemy attention away from your position for easier navigation or crowd control.
