AC Mirage: The BEST Weapons

Weapons in Assassin’s Creed Mirage are primarily divided into two categories: swords and daggers. When deciding on the best AC Mirage weapons, you need to consider a few things, such as the weapon’s damage, defense, and perk. After considering all three, you’ll have a good idea of which weapon may better suit your playstyle.

AC Mirage Best Weapons Overview

Here is an overview and comparison of the AC Mirage’s Best Weapons:

1. Hidden One Sword

Venturing into the Wilderness West in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, dedicated explorers will come across the Abandoned Caravanserai. Within its primary structure lies the Hidden One Sword, guarded behind a barricaded doorway.

• Venomous perk ensures that every blow adds a poisonous effect on enemies.
• Five consecutive hits might challenge some during difficult combat scenarios; the reward is a potent toxin.
• The toxic effortlessly takes down even the strongest of armor-clad enemies, provided a continuous stream of attack is maintained.

2. Zanj Uprising Sword

Another hidden weapon in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the Zanj Uprising Sword, concealed within the Metal Factory in Shari’ Harbiyah. To access the sword, players have a choice: either throw a knife through an open window to unlock the entrance or directly confront the guards guarding its premises.

• The sword‘s unique perk, Strike Back, can significantly amplify damage following a “perfect dodge.”
• However, it might confuse players, as the “perfect dodge” criteria remain somewhat elusive.
• On occasions, the damage surge is noticeable after a dodge, while at other times, it remains dormant.
• In my own run, I ran into the boost by accidentally pulling off a perfect dodge, so just having the perk is quite helpful.

3. Rostam Dagger

The Rostam Dagger, a prize for those who successfully complete the ‘The Satiric Poet’ contract, offers a rather specialized perk.

• When using throwing knives at close range, this dagger ensures a 10% increment in inflicted damage.
• Many players prefer to use the throwing knives from a distance.
• The usefulness of this perk might appear limited, especially considering the significant damage of headshots against unguarded enemies.

4. Abbasid Knight Sword

The Abbasid Knight Sword, found in the Scriptorium of Yasiriyah, Abbasiyah, is a weapon to reckon with in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. To retrieve this sword, players must venture into the heart of the main building while sneaking around and avoiding any guards.

• Possesses the On the Edge perk, which enhances light attack effectiveness considerably, especially when Basim’s health dips below half.
• Operating at lower health isn’t typically a favored tactic for many; this weapon’s perk becomes a lifeline in dire situations.
• Allows for rapid takedowns, especially against weaker enemies.

5. Abbasid Knight Dagger

From the heights of Qasr Salih in Sharqiyah, Karkh, comes the Abbasid Knight Dagger, a weapon imbued with the potential to boost Basim’s defensive capabilities.

• When vitality dips below half, the Resilient perk kicks in, enhancing damage resistance by 30%.
• Given Basim’s already limited health in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, this effect might not always prove as protective.
• The added resistance might just be the barrier between life and the cold embrace of defeat.
• Additionally, I did notice that I could handle a couple more hits due to the perk.

6. Initiate Of Alamut Sword

The Initiate of Alamut Sword stands out as one of the best weapons for many players. Gifted to Basim near the start of his journey, its unique perk, Sharpened Blade, provides an impressive damage boost after a successful parry.

• Damage advantage may not always be applicable, especially when facing adversaries primarily employing unblockable attacks.
• During encounters with weaker enemies, the sword becomes a useful tool, allowing for swift takedowns and maintaining combat momentum.
• While using the perk, I was able to disperse multiple enemies in a matter of seconds by simply parrying them once.

7. Initiate Of Alamut Dagger

As Basim embarks on his quest in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, he is armed with the Initiate of Alamut Dagger, a default yet potent weapon in his arsenal.

• Aggressive Defense, ensures that every well-timed parry not only deflects but also deals a significant blow to an opponent’s stamina.
• Certain enemies in Assassin’s Creed Mirage employ unparryable moves; many, especially spearmen, are susceptible to this stamina-draining effect.
• Mastering the art of parrying with this dagger can make it easier to fight against stamina-dependant enemies.

8. Hidden One Dagger

The Hidden One Dagger found in the Northern Wilderness’s Water Mill is a perfect complement for those familiar with the Hidden One Sword.

• Allows poisoned enemies to emit a toxic aura, dealing progressive damage to those in proximity.
• Toxin’s initial impact might not seem overwhelming, but during extended fights, its accumulated effect can be the deciding factor between victory and defeat.
• Useful alongside its sword counterpart, enhancing your ability to distribute poison across the battlefield.

9. Rostam Sword

In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, fulfilling certain contracts can give you remarkable rewards. One such prize is the Rostam Sword, a direct bounty from completing ‘The Weapons Dealer’ contract.

• Chain Reaction perk makes it an enticing choice for aggressive players.
• With every blow landed, the damage inflicted escalates up to a formidable 50% increment.
• Need to keep constant pressure on the enemies to take the most advantage of the perk.

10. Zanj Uprising Dagger

Strategically placed on top of The Great Bimaristan in Haylanah, Abbasiyah, the Zanj Uprising Dagger offers a notable advantage for agile fighters.

• Second Wind rewards precise dodging with stamina regeneration.
• In AC Mirage, ensuring Basim’s stamina remains high is vital, and with the proper use of timed dodges, this dagger promises to extend your stamina significantly.
• An invaluable tool for those who prioritize mobility and evasion in combat.

My Opinion On The Best Weapon

Out of all these weapons, I would recommend using the Hidden One’s gear due to how versatile it can be. However, what I noticed was that almost any weapon worked great as long as you kept upgrading it along the way using the relevant materials. So, I’d say don’t restrict yourself to a single weapon, mess around with different combinations, and definitely make sure to keep upgrading each weapon the further you progress in the story with it.

With that, you know all about the AC Mirage Best Weapons. Although having a good loadout is quite useful, I would recommend that you also check out the best skills to ensure that Basim is as strong as he can be. Also, I’d recommend reading Usama’s thoughts on Assassins Creed Mirage to learn more about it.
