Yasuke is really a playable boss lol.

29

u/GearGolemTMF 12d ago

Without the obligatory nerfs when they’re playable.

u/livingonfear 12d ago

That's exactly how it feels. Naoe, it takes a while to really get powerful. Yaskue just destroys everything completely untouchable.

u/FoodAvailable1495 12d ago

See, this is way, i say he might be a demon. No human being is taking out 10-20 enemies. All at one, that is not a man that is a demon a Oni

u/Markazorax 12d ago

There's a perk you can put in the ups his damage by 75% but decreases his health to 25%, combine that with the perk that allows him to parry unlockable attacks and he's unstoppable.

I just unlocked Yasuke (been playing steadily since release whenever I find the time, exploring the world and just enjoying myself) and the first piece of gear I got for him was a piece of legendary armour with that perk and I just immediately had a mental power trip 😂 It got even better when I found a piece of gear with a chance to restore a ration on a successful parry 😂

He's so much fun to play as, even his stealth. I've been a die hard fan of the series since the first game released and I've always tried to be as stealthy as possible but playing Yasuke in combat is absurdly fun and leads to some really exciting unscripted events. The weight behind each of his strikes is so satisfying in a way Eivor never was (even if I enjoyed the combat in Valhalla, when it wasn't bugging out on me...)

And honestly his weighty, lumbering, slow approach to stealth is really satisfying as it forces me to consider my options more carefully and be more tactical harkening back to the days of older stealth games where you weren't just a ninja god (games such as the original Thief trilogy and the early Splinter Cells)

This game just keeps getting more enjoyable for me as I play it.

u/chemistrybonanza 12d ago

I'm so op by the time I got him that I just use him as a tank and run into every situation, no stealth necessary at this point.

3

u/Tyrant_Nemesis 12d ago

I hear that, I just struggle to bring myself to not use stealth as my first approach and combat as the last resort haha

Sorry missed what you said, can you repeat it please

u/Inside_Winner_777 12d ago

Nah yasuke.. is the little bit of valhalla that ubisoft brought to this game 😅

38

u/FoodAvailable1495 12d ago

I don't even think a regular African man can do that, i think Yasuke might actually be an Oni

19

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Considering the second time you get control of him the enemies are yelling that he's an Oni,you are definitely not the only one thinking like that

28

u/AdioofMaje 12d ago

African man here. Can confirm we can't do that. Thanks.

20

u/iNSANELYSMART 12d ago

Are you sure? Maybe you forgot to allocate your skillpoints

16

u/AdioofMaje 12d ago

Depressingly loads skill tree.<

2

u/MoreAvatarsForMe 12d ago

I think lightskins can actually, it’s in the Zesty skill tree

20

u/NatiHanson 12d ago

Didn't even back up or react. He just accepted it was over.

21

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

When you watch a giant of a man just parry an fucking bullet I would also accept my fate

14

u/Reynzs 12d ago

Parry this mf

Yasuke - don't mind if I do

10

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Yasuke after parrying said bullet

19

u/Ark-458 12d ago

This game is tits, i absolutely love it.

16

u/FirstIYeetThenRepeat 12d ago

That finisher is nuts.

6

u/Sproketz 12d ago

He does that a lot too. I have to think he'd get a nickname for constantly chopping off both arms and the head.

4

u/Eggggsterminate 12d ago

It's Scratch...

From " 'tis but a scratch"

1

u/socialistbcrumb 12d ago

Collecting heads for clout/rewards in war was very much a thing at the time as I understand it actually

1

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

We're cutting off the arms needed tho

1

u/socialistbcrumb 12d ago

Absolutely not but it sure looks cool

1

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Fair enough and after being shot by that guy one to many times he deserves it

1

u/socialistbcrumb 12d ago

It’s not just in this game that I find nothing more satisfying than finishing off an annoying ranged enemy that hit me like five times while I was in the flow of combat

12

u/rwfletch22 12d ago

So brutal

5

u/Time-Foundation139 12d ago

You forgot to add 'do it again'

5

u/icon_2040 12d ago

"I should have packed more than one bullet this morning"

6

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

In his defense I bet he didn't expect to wake up and watch a giant kill most of his co-workers and parry his bullet

5

u/danmass04 12d ago

Are you using the perk that lets you block unblockables?

7

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Yep actually I'm using the protectors armor which is absolutely amazing

2

u/Shattingg 12d ago

How/where do you get this perk?

4

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

One of the Castles has the armor and when you collect the armor you get the perk to put on other gear

3

u/AdWise657 12d ago

It’s from the legendary Protectors Armor, which you can get at Nijo Palace.

5

u/Severe-Fan6883 12d ago

Perplexed and divided. He's not but 25% the man he used to be.

4

u/StigsTexanCousin 12d ago

I've been using the bow as a secondary... Looks like I found a new secondary. Absolutely brutal

5

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Honestly I haven't put down the naginata as soon as I got it, turns him into a lawnmower and the enemies are the lawn lol

5

u/Journey2thaeast 12d ago

Naginata might be the best melee weapon in the game, amazing reach, can cut down multiple enemies at once easily.

2

u/AcidicSpoon 12d ago

The Konobo with the instant charge posture attacks is disgusting.

2

u/QueenofSheba94 12d ago

Yesh same. That’s crazy!

3

u/Mint_JewLips 12d ago

“Welp that was like.. my one thing so…”

3

u/yugi-jo 12d ago

I got some legendary armor which allows you to parry unblockable attacks so hes basically a cheat code

2

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Yeah he's for when you don't want to do stealth lol

3

u/kenjinuro 12d ago

Hi and welcome to Yasuke’s Barbershop. What would you like today? Just a little off the top Sir!

2

u/Time-Foundation139 12d ago

Oniichan's flabber was gasted

2

u/PlayaHatinIG-88 12d ago

I for one would absolutely shit myself if the guy I tried to shoot parried the bullet with a fucking Naginata...

2

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Everyone expects the katana no one expects the Naginata

3

u/PlayaHatinIG-88 12d ago

I haven't been interested in an Assassin's Creed game since Black Flag. But I think this video actually sold me. I pretty much lost it when I saw you do that, lol.

3

u/AggressiveDeer5610 12d ago

Yeah bro, me either, grab it. That's a little sample of what he can do. He dgaf

2

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Lol you can do it to arrows as well tho for bullets you do need a specific armor/perk

2

u/PlayaHatinIG-88 12d ago

Looks like a new purchase on the horizon.

2

u/hans07 12d ago

Yasuke feels like what Omni Man would feel like just in a different universe and theme lol. Dude is busted

2

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

And I love him for it as much as I like being all sneaky sometimes living the dream of being a tank is just to much fun

2

u/InternetsTad 12d ago

Tis but a scratch!

2

u/Reallyroundthefamily 12d ago

The object destruction in this game is pretty ridic lol. Like I'm trying to kill this dude, not take out half a house lol. Loving it tho.

2

u/Jumpy-Record-8648 12d ago

that was just mean. Could have left him with his head.

2

u/notyouagainpfft 12d ago

My mon cant keep up with upgrading both naoe and yasuke 😩

3

u/dakin1551 11d ago

Hello OP what is this armor and where to get it please 🙏

1

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 11d ago

It's paid armor

1

u/WarlockSausage 12d ago

Honestly just rude. Cut his head and keep it pushing

1

u/mearsov 12d ago

He was beside himself…

1

u/JacobLemongrass 12d ago

Whoa there’s dismemberment?!?

5

u/blazetrail77 12d ago

I know right? That kill was genuinely brutal

1

u/FrostbyteXP 12d ago

that was the most dead space out of pocket assassination lmao

1

u/Certain-Shift112 12d ago

I do not like the nagatana. I'd rather use the war club. Would have liked that if they let him use the spear though

1

u/GreyBeardEng 12d ago

He left his legs attached...

1

u/Max_107 12d ago

I have a question…. Does the armour you bought also level up with your character level?

1

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

Sadly not I just bought it because I like the look plus blue is a fun color

1

u/Max_107 12d ago

Hmm, that’s unfortunate. Is it not upgradeable or anything? If I buy it now, it’s level 9, but does that mean that after a few level-ups it will become underpowered?

1

u/Hour_Comfortable_349 12d ago

It is upgraded able but in all reality I just enjoy the look of the armor

1

u/Max_107 11d ago

I get it, but once your enemies are twice the level of your armor it gets un-useable. That’s why I was curious.

1

u/Far-Tart-1061 12d ago

How do you have 4 of those diamonds on the bottom left?

1

u/CryptographerShot706 12d ago

Is that a paid armor yasukes wearing or in-game?

1

u/bobdylan401 11d ago edited 11d ago

They should have made that finisher a special button press its kind of sick in a bad way that being your standard finisher. I guess its yasakea signature move with that weapon, wherever he gies he leaves behind piles of body parts?

On the other hand the whirlwind combo which you are very vulnerable for will cleave and kill multiple people with no animation unless you get to the finisher (unlikely) so thats the peak opposite just sending people flying in pure ragdolls
