Here are the best weapons for Naoe:

Notice the absence of Kusarigamas in this list? That's because they pale in comparison to the superior Tantos and Katanas available in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. While Kusarigamas with Poison effects can be useful, they're generally less effective. Katanas stand out as the strongest weapon type for Naoe, with Tantos a close second.
