    Who is the Best Playable Swordsman in the Series?

    Altair?
    Ezio?
    Haytham?
    Connor?
    Avenline?
    Edward?
    Adewale?
    Shay?
    Arno?
    Jacob/Evie (cane swords)?

    Might not be a popular opinion, but I'd have to give it to Arno, followed by Haytham and then Shay.

    Haytham and Connor. Their sword skills are unmatched.

    Altair is the best, since he had the hardest controls, had no crossbow and guns (except that one time) and fought against heavily armoured and outnumbered opponents while wearing no armour at all. He also had no special fancy armour set unlike the other assassins in his main game, so be default he must have been the best.

    In second place, I would put Edward Kenway. Double wielding cutlasses is no joke, having that kind of double-handed dexterity is pretty impressive skillset.

    Connor would be in third place, since he fought harder opponents than usual. He fought Jagers and stuff. But I wouldn't call him a swordsman, since his chief weapon was the Tomahawk

    i always ask this question from myself and in my opinion, it has to be altair, as same reasons as vestigialLiama said, but after him im gonna say ezio, because the games made him a one man army, as he really is very skillful with every tool in his hands, then edward followed by haytham and connor, then shay, idk but unity feels like arno is the weakest assassin, jacob and evie are pretty beast with cane swords but not sure about the swords.

    The best Assassin Swordsman: Edward and then Arno.
    The best Templar Swordsman: Probably a tie between Haytham and Elise.

    Pretty much this, and I would include Edward and Shay.

    And in this order. Haytham, Edward, Shay, Connor.

    Edward hands down. His Dual wielding skills and speed is unmatched. That guy is blistering fast with his blades.

    1. Altair
    2. Edward
    3. Arno
    4. Haytham
    5. Ezio
    6. Connor (even though his signature weapon is the tomahawk, he still fares well when equipped with a sword)
    7. Shay
    8. Aveline
