Allies often assist you in the middle of combat in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, so it’s necessary to upgrade them from time to time.

Even assassins can’t face all their battles alone. Your allies will often prove to be crucial in obtaining success on various missions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Upgrading your allies will make them more viable to use across the game.
However, increasing their strength is no simple task, as you need to gather quite a few materials and money to unlock these upgrades. Here is how you can upgrade your trustworthy allies within Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Where To Upgrade Allies in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Allies can be upgraded at the Ally Board. These boards can be found at Dojos at your hideout or any Kakurega. The hideout system is unlocked while completing the ‘From Spark to Flame’ mission.
This quest is done fairly early on in the game, so you don’t have to play for a long time to start upgrading your allies. Once you build a dojo or a Kakurega, you can get to upgrading your allies.

How To Upgrade Allies in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Simply head over to the above-mentioned Ally Boards and interact with them. This will lead you to the ally menu. Here, you can choose any of the allies you have unlocked and upgrade them, if you have the required resources of course.
Select the ally you want to train and click ‘Manage Ally‘. Now, you can spend Mon, the in-game currency to level up your allies. Every time you invest Mon into your allies, they will gain a new ability.
Therefore, you should manage your Mon carefully and only invest them into an ally when you’re sure to make good use of their ability. That was the complete guide on how you can upgrade allies in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
