These armor sets offer various innate engravings. These provide unique perks to the wearer. There are five different rarities of equipment, namely:

• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare
• Epic
• Legendary

As the tier increases, the armor's buffs and quality improve as well. For example, uncommon armor comes with a single engraving. However, loot from Rare and upward brackets comes with one predetermined perk and one empty slot. Players can insert any engraving they want from the Hideout's Blacksmith.

Usually, the equipment with higher rarities offers better perks, giving players a reason to hunt down various Legendary Armor Sets for Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows to see which unique perk suits their playstyle the best. Aside from armor, even weapons have to follow the same rarity system.

Thus, players often hunt down legendary weapons for Naoe/Yasuke to acquire a buff that adds to their build.
