A samurai's weapon of choice is the katana whereas most ninjas in games typically like to use smaller weapons like daggers. In Assassin's Creed Shadows, Naoe, the game's resident ninja, has three weapons at her disposal. She starts with a katana and then players can either buy or find a sickle and chain combo called a Kusarigama or a smaller dagger combo with the Hidden Blade called a Tanto.
