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.
Pretty much this, and I would include Edward and Shay.Originally Posted by Defalt221 Go to original post
And in this order. Haytham, Edward, Shay, Connor.
