The BEST Hidden Blades In Assassin's Creed

The Hidden Blade. This is by far the most iconic feature about assassin’s creed. And since it’s so iconic the series, there’s been so many designed and created for our favorite assassins. The concept of a wrist-mounted blade that can swiftly eliminate targets with a single strike is pretty cool to think about. That’s why I want to go over the best hidden blades in assassin’s creed. Now do bare in mind, every hidden blade I mention in this video is purely my opinion and you may have an entirely different thought process which is perfectly fine. Oh and I'll also give some honorable mentions towards the end of the video on ones that didn’t make my list.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Ya, the point of it isn't necessarily for non-lethal takedown, but to electrocute someone to death so they don't survive, since modern medicine can keep someone alive when stabbed. It could be non-lethal if you use less power most likely, but that wasn't what Shaun did

Darius' hidden blade made a lot of sense to me. During his time period, most warriors protected their arms with bracers where most of the armor was on the top. The blade and the mechanism would easily be hidden with extra metal plating or leather padding and wouldn't look too out of place.

@nonope4307 Ya, it's annoying when that happens. I'm playing Odyssey now, and I hate having to wait to tell whether I need to use critical assasinate or not, especially when they move out of range. I have enjoyed Odyssey, but I miss old AC. Also, I don't like the animations in Odyssey. They're either over the top (the one where you flip the target over) or too little to do anything (stabbing in the side). Also, I so miss double assasinate. Yeah, there's the chain thing, but that uses adrenaline, and I just want a normal assasinate that kills two close targets

I agree with all your top picks. Each one is the most useful for a core aspect of the game: 1) The hook blade for traversal and parkour. 2) The pivot blade for melée combat. 3) The phantom blade for ranged stealth. Imagine how broken a combination of all 3 would be. Or, more realistically, the hook blade and phantom blade/crossbow under your dominant hand, and the pivot blade under the off-hand.

The trident hidden blade is likely based off the Indian weapon the Katar. It was a “push dagger” (basically a dagger where the blade is in front of your knuckles and you can punch with it) that had a mechanism where squeezing the 2 handles would cause the outer blade to part into 2 with a center blade. There’s debate as to how it was used with some saying that it was stabbed in then activated to open a wound further, but it was most likely that the 3 prongs were used to parry an opponent. This also seems to be how the trident hidden blade was used.

The foot blade actually makes more sense than the standard wrist-mounted version. Carrying a normal knife would work fine for most applications, having one strapped to your wrist could present problems in use and it looks pretty suspicious if you're wearing anything else than long, wide sleeves. Shoes have a lot of unused space in the soles to hide stuff in and legs have a lot more power to deliver.

Something that I think is overlooked and is The Hidden One got incorrect is that Edward Kenway, Adewale, and Shay Cormac CAN use their hidden blades in open combat. Not only that, but all 3 characters can use the blades themselves, to deflect incoming attacks from Daggers, Swords, and even Axes. These Hidden Blades didn’t require any additional metal bracers, and were simply strong and reinforced enough in their design and construction, that they could be used as primary weapons in melee combat engagements. Sure, they didn’t improve or iterate on the design, or include any creative new features, but the ability to discretely wield 2 blades that are strong enough to deflect other traditional weapons, is a fact that I feel shouldn’t be overlooked.
