Assassin’s Creed Shadows has a detailed Abilities Mastery section, and this guide explains all sections of it.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows introduces a revamped “Mastery” section, where you can customize Yasuke and Naoe’s playstyle. Since the game features dual protagonists, both these characters have their own set of skills and abilities that vastly differ. While Naoe embodies a true Assassin style, utilizing stealth and finesse, Yasuke prefers the outlandish brawn.
You will need to invest Mastery Points for both Yasuke and Naoe to have an easier time while playing AC Shadows. In this guide, we will explain the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Mastery section and explore the abilities of both Yasuke and Naoe. We will also take a look at the Knowledge Ranks and other relevant details.
Abilities Mastery in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: All Details Explored
As mentioned before, Yasuke and Naoe have different playstyles. As such, both these characters also have a separate set of skills that affect their gameplay. Both of these characters have six unique abilities and Skill Trees that reflect the style that they individually prefer. Here is a list of both the characters’ Mastery Abilities in Assassin’s Creed Shadows:
Naoe’s Abilities
Naoe is the stealthy and silent assassin who works from the shadows. She is nimble and uses the open-world elements to blend in, becoming a true master of the hidden arts. If you have played Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Naoe is similar to Evie Frye in many ways in terms of their playstyle.
Here is a list of all of Naoe’s Abilities in Assassin’s Creed Shadows:
| Weapon/Attribute | Type | Skill Tree Branch |
|---|---|---|
| Katana | Melee | 18 Skills |
| Kusarigama | Melee, capable of ranged | 18 Skills |
| Tanto | Melee | 18 Skills |
| Tools | Mixed | 22 Skills |
| Shinobi Attribute | – | 20 Skills |
| Assassin Attribute | – | 17 Skills |
Yasuke’s Abilities
All the controversies regarding his title and lineage aside, Yasuke is the big brute in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Unlike Naoe, who relies on stealth and agility, Yasuke is all about making a bold statement in broad daylight. He uses big and heavy weapons that can cause rampant destruction when wielded correctly.
Yasuke has the following Abilities in Assassin’s Creed Shadows:
| Weapon/Attribute | Type | Skill Tree Branch |
|---|---|---|
| Bow | Ranged Weapon | 26 Skills |
| Long Katana | Melee | 18 Skills |
| Naginata | Melee | 18 Skills |
| Kanabo | Melee | 18 Skills |
| Teppo | Ranged | 24 Skills |
| Samurai Attribute | – | 26 Skills |
Yasuke does not have the special Assassin attribute, which seems to be exclusive to Naoe only in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This might also hint at the character not being an Assassin and more of an Assassin ally, although there can also be other implications.
How To Unlock New Skills in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
You will need to reach a certain Knowledge Rank to access a skill and also have enough Mastery Points to unlock a new skill in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

How To Increase Your Knowledge Rank?

When active, a red marker on your map shows quests, and completing these will award you with Mastery Points. There are different kinds of Mastery Points, and you might need to get a specific one to get these.
