Just as there are with Naoe, there are 15 legendary armor sets for Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows. All of these sets are made up of two pieces, each of which has its own unique innate perk. As they tend to have perks that complement one another, it's generally better to use headgear and body armor from the same set, although players are free to mix and match as they see fit.

Where to Find All Legendary Weapons for Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows

All of Yasuke's legendary weapons in Assassin's Creed Shadows have their strengths and weaknesses, with each catering to a different playing style.

Finding all of Yasuke's legendary armor in Assassin's Creed Shadows is far from easy, though, as it's spread right across the map. Most armor pieces require players to defeat all of the Samurai Daimyo at forts and castles to gain access to their legendary chests, though some can be found out in the world or through the Store and Animus.
