In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Yasuke showcases a powerful kick reminiscent of King Leonidas from Sparta, while the agile shinobi Naoe has her own remarkable kicking technique.
Yasuke’s formidable strength enables him to launch enemies away with his iconic “this is Sparta” style kick. However, Naoe, due to her smaller and more agile stature, must rely on accuracy rather than sheer force.
A video circulating on Reddit features Naoe elegantly deflecting an arrow with a quick forward kick, resembling a scene from an action film. It’s impressive that the developers decided to integrate such a move into the gameplay. Ubisoft’s development delays have evidently allowed them to refine this game. Although this maneuver does not entirely block projectiles—resulting in some damage—it is still an impressive display. “Actual f**king ninja,” comments one user.

Participants in the discussion have noted that players can earn an achievement in the game for successfully parrying an arrow, presenting a superior method for Naoe to protect herself. Additionally, she wields an overpowered tanto that makes her nearly indestructible, allowing for a play style that bypasses the need to dodge or parry. This weapon ranks among the best in the game.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a wealth of activities to engage players. Once you’ve successfully deflected an arrow, consider navigating through challenging regions with Naoe to reach a date night. However, opting for canon mode may limit access to many romance options, as it restricts dialogue choices, preventing you from flirting.
