Assassin’s Creed Shadows Best Teppo Build Explained

Unlike our bow build, the Teppo build focuses on dealing bonus damage to enemies during combat. As it is a very loud weapon, stealth becomes impossible, but when you put the correct engraving together, this weapon can make fights easier than ever. This Teppo build focuses on the following aspects:

• Killing distant enemies during combat.
• Deal damage just before entering fights.
• Act as a finisher in a mob fight.

How To Use This Best Teppo Build in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

When using this Teppo build, try to keep the following tips in mind:

1. When the fight is inevitable, always try to fire shots at enemies before entering combat. This way you can damage their armor and chip down their health.
2. Skills like Steady Hand and Concentration can give you enough time to put bullets in enemies’ heads. Moreover, the engraved headgear slows time with each dodge. When played correctly, you can end the whole fight in slow motion.
3. Even if it’s loud, you can take out main targets with Teppo’s high damage. However, be ready to face multiple enemies after firing a shot in a restricted area.
