I would say Arno, but I do think Connor has strong cases since if we look at the full sync conditions, he is still quite good at stealth. It's interesting with wearing hoods, since in Altair's era and where he was, hoods were prevalent and you could pass as a scholar, but with latter historical periods it doesn't help much with 'Hide in plain sight', of course looking cool is all that matters with protagonists so.
@@bodbodbod123😂 love Connor but damn does this sting lmaoo we gotta give credit since Connor was the first to learn how to crouch somewhat even if it’s in bushes 😭
I love Altair. Lemme throw in a bonus fun fact about his stealth In the trailer where Templars are talking amongst themselves in a rectangular table where everyone can see each other's back, Altair can be seen in the reflection of a chalice. He managed to kill one of the templars without a sound with a throwing knife Tell me, which other assassin do you know that can kill a Templar who's around others like him in the security of their private room/building for discussion?
@@citiestoashNah each assassin’ differs from another,see im sure some assassin’s might be able to do what he did but not before he did it perfectly hundreds of years ago,but he can’t swim tho which is something every other assassin can do so he also has his shortcomings
@@mvp746 He can swim. It's an animus bug that he could not swim. It's confirmed in AC 2. (although that is the lore explanation, I think Ubisoft developers either forgot, was lazy, or engine problems)
@joakim berg over the course of ac 3 I think Conners body count might be higher remember when he had soldiers fire at the enemy lines he took out quite a few guys
Jacob blends in so much that you couldn't even tell thats hes an assassin especially with his simply jacob outfit which his most boring outfit but also the one of the most realistic outfits thats why i love it
Lore wise most of the assassins can blend in perfectly regardless of what they're wearing, I would say Ezio blending in with his flashy robes is far more impressive in that aspect of stealth.
@@Dirtysanchez27 true its very impressive how he can blend in with 5 peasants while wearing drippiest clothes in the century and thats why we love him😂
I'd say the most crafty assassins with stealth are Altair, Arno, Aveline, and Jacob and Evie. Altair with getting information on his targets, Arno with infiltration and reaching his target and the same with Jacob and Evie, and Aveline with her use of disguises. Not to mention the cane sword Evie and Jacob carry and the umbrella that shoots darts that Aveline carries.
ignoring that Evie can literally go invisible and make the bodies of anyone she kills vanish, I think Aveline makes a good case for herself, she's the only one that actually uses disguises to blend with the crowd to accomodate with the situation, customization has been a thing in AC for a long time now, but it's never been utilized that way, if she was given a proper game that mechanic could probably expand her stealth abilities above anyone else, and just for the outfit alone, Ezio would probably be the least stealth one given that he wears a huge metal plate with the assassin symbol on his waist with a very beautiful, but flashy outfit
Altair was the stealthiest. Yall would know this especially after watching that one AC trailer when he knocked off a table full of templars without being seen by any of them. Altair's stealth and assassination skills was so legendary that people thought of him as the literal Angel of Death and would instantly shit bricks. Edit: Its also worth putting into perspective that Altair's insane stealth feats was accomplished with nothing but basic smoke bombs, knives and a hidden blade. The barebones assassin arsenal. There wasnt things like throwable darts, darts, elaborate traps, reliable ranged weapons or advanced gadgetry, so most of Altair's kills and stealth feats were just mainly pure skill.
@@chestertamayo1894 true, sometimes I forget wether he had smoke bombs or not lol. The fact that he doesnt make his stealth feats even more impressive than before as he gotten all his shit done with just a hidden blade and throwing knives.
U meantion havana on edward part but forgot to mention this guy who gaslight himself into being an assasin managed to sneak thru assasin's hq and pretty much go deep into its core without being detected and killing anyone
I've gotta stick with Evie, the fact that you can be a few feet from someone looking straight at you in broad daylight and not be spotted is hard to beat
@@Mark_317 Fair point, I'd personally stick with Evie being the stealthiest as it's her own skills and talents allowing her to go invis while almost anyone could throw on the gear (lore providing, haven't played Odessey yet) and get that same effect
To me, it'll be Ezio. He has the best gears, best weapons, best armor and outfit and style, and versatile weapons. He may not have the Phantom blade like Arno or plan things like Batman Arno, but he is good at improvising. Plus he's the only assassin with a parachute.
idk how to actually measure which assassin is the most stealthy, but I've played them all apart from AC 3, Odyssey, and Valhalla.. and I can say I am the stealthiest with Bayek, maybe because of the ability to crouch, even though it's introduced for the first time in Unity
For me it was Aya. Unlike other Assassins, Aya trained a snake to kill Kleopatra (based on AC2 Brotherhood). Bayek comes second place because he trained senu to stall enemies and recon. Both Aya and Bayek also the top notch archer (his arrow could change direction midair, penetrate shield, rapid shoot).

If Altair had Arno's assignment to kill the King of Beggars in the sewers he would've done that stealthy and been out of there without anyone knowing what happened. Arno chose to spare La Touche and it cost him the upper hand and made the mission way harder. Altair wouldn't have done the same, he would've smoked the guy and the info wouldn't have reached the King
I’m gonna catch flack from my fellow assassins creed fans but any assassin past Ezio’s time doesn’t need a hood. In fact hoods in the colonial times look very out of place. If one is to “hide in plain sight” they need to have garb of the time not just robes and hoods. I don’t know that’s just my opinion.
Still haven't watched the video but I'm 100% sure Arno And Altair are the stealthiest! Edit: just watched the whole video and it seems like you had the same idea😂 I think if Altair could crouch like Arno he would be Unstoppable!

You could always explain that by her just being so incredibly stealthy... but like, it does feel like cheating a bit, y'know? Those more game-y skills always seem to be some animus trickery rather than an actual character ability. At least with Arno's skill you could hand wave it by saying he just grabs a guard uniform or something.

No shade intended but why mention stuff like this before watching the full video? If he hasn't touched on the Frye twins yet, how do you know he wasn't gonna bring it up?
@@lordolxinator just gave my opinion on something I was excited about lmao. obviously on a video about ranking all of the assassins I knew they were gonna come up, but I didn't think he was gonna make the same points I made about evie lol
@@Everyonesbuddy829 My guy... Altair literally broke all three tenets of the Brotherhood's creed. 1) He kills an innocent mine worker. 2) He makes his presence known to enemies. 3) Fails to kill Robert, compromising the Brotherhood.
That's what I thought .it's kinda part of his lifestyle. Being in nature and hunting you would figure he can really be hidden especially in the woods. Not to mention all his years in the tribe transfer over well in the next 10 years of formal assassin training. .i thought he'd be one
I think Evie can get a little more credit, because even though in more modern times you get more technologies to help you blend in (giving you an advantage), it can also be a disadvantage living in more modern times. In previous games, you could wear your weapons openly in public with no real suspicion placed on you. In Syndicate they had to use hidden swords in canes, small knives etc I think this makes Evie a little more stealthy. But I do see arguments for Arno and Altair, I think all are definitely in the top 3.
Altair definitely earns his victory in this one. Even tho Altair assassinated his targets in broad daylight in front of dozens or even hundreds of ppl which definitely isn't the stealthiest method at all because after that, the targets knew he was coming. But he still was always able to find a way to his targets no matter what security measures they did and that is really impressive. You can see how the targets progressively have more and more guards and security measures as you advance in the game. One of the targets is so fearful and paranoid, that he starts killing scholars thinking it's Altair, since he knows he's coming for him.
Over Avaline i dont think so you talk about stealth but mans literally wear the same type of fit every time he go out Avaline you'll never even know Shes an assassin shorty was diff in liberation fans just dick ride Arno nd Altair
@@Draxplayzit2 I am always bringing up Ade and Aveline myself, cause the get forgotten by many fans since they got only little side games and not big mainline games. And I agree she is like top 3 in terms of stealth with the assassins. The clothing argument doesn't work that well cuz some games don't even allow costume changes and in other games it's optional, but you could play it through with the default costume too. Liberation is unique in that sense that the costumes aren't just cosmetic, but serve a purpose, so idk if it's really fair to say that "Aveline has disguises so she automatically is better at stealth". She is very good with stealth, but Altair's stealth feats are more impressive. Like even tho ppl recognized him and his iconic white robe, they would never know when he would strike until it was too late.
It may go against the purpose of this video but I don't mind Connor not being the stealthiest. If I see a large hooded man rushing at me full speed with a tomahawk, I'd be wishing I didn't notice him in the first place.
Might sound crazy but I think the easiest way to tell would be seeing how many missions either required stealth or stealth was required for 100% synchronization in each game. I think that would be an interesting video idea but it would probably still be Altair. But I'm sure Edward would be like third with all the tailing missions
Connor is a very strong contender for this. Arno is amazing in stealth but Connor was boarding ships in a middle of a battle without getting detected and the optional objectives show that you have to do this in multiple missions without getting detected to get 100% sync and many of these missions are very hard and nearly impossible in some missions (f*ck the ship stealth one) to be stealthy in. Getting 100% is I think the true canon way of doing things showing that Connor's skills are on another level. Also, he is a great hunter and can sneak up on predators whose sense of hearing and are miles better than any humans but Connor can still somehoe sneak uo on them. In my opinion, Arno is great but Connor's stealth is literally on another level.
Altair is a good choice but you can’t rule out Basim. When doing his multi kill ability the animus glitches out trying to keep up with his movements, no other assassin has ever caused something like that to happen
How can you put the fraye twins together when Evie is arguably the stealthiest of all assassins, whereas Jacob is quite the opposite. I'd actually say he's the least stealthiest tbh
Evie Frye 😍 could turn invisible, clear an area from a flagpole, why oh why did she lose that ability for Jack the Ripper. Didn't know that ability was an animus hack, then why oh why wasn't the hack around for Jack the Ripper Didn't see Shay Patrick Cormac on the list, he may have turned Templar, but he totally started as Assassin
Okay I'm gonna have to disagree on Ezio being really stealthy compare to other assassin's. First of all, most of his assassinations are actually extremely high profile such as his killing of the doge during Carnivale, Uberto, Dante and the other during which he initiates a district wide battle to get to them, and pretty much every main assassination through his trilogy results in every guard in his location to be alerted. Not to mention his conspicuous clothing (which is impressive he can blend with them), and the fact that he's the most famous assassin in universe I believe. So there's two categories where I would rate the stealthiest assassin: Gameplay and In-Lore. Gameplay is how stealthy you are when playing (since the Animus let's you basically sandbox your missions), and in lore is how they are in the actual AC lore. As in their actual stealth capability despite gameplay. I have a top for gameplay: Arno, Altair, Connor. Arno obviously has the advantages mentioned in the video but there's also the fact that he's the only truly stealth based assassin to be able to crouch in gameplay. He's able to silently move through a house which is much quieter than outside, he can dispatch targets from a distance, and he's very skilled in stealth. I'm currently playing all AC games and haven't gotten to Ubity but the first time around I remember all his assassinations being very silent and unknown. For example the route you go into the churches confession booth and take out your target there. You can then leave without ever being seen. For Altair, it's pretty self explanatory, he's the most elaborate, tedious, and slow in his methods, making him extremely stealthy. Connor is also very stealthy. While he's definitely more combat oriented, alot of his assassinations are actually pretty quiet and alot of his missions have him blending in. He doesn't single uandedly initiate battles or events, he simply tags along and blends as just another "patriot". Take the battle of bunker hill for example. He's clearly seen by hundreds of red costs but they do not know he's an assassin, they just think he's like an eccentric patriot troop. The moment he's around the hill- he's gone. If you follow full sync, he actually has minimized casualties and strikes Pitcairn without any detection only until after killing, as per the standard of the creed. This is also coupled with the fact that Connor can sneak right up to prey without detection when in bushes. Meaning he's somehow silent enough to not be hard by enhanced animal ears and can mask his scent. Lore wise: Bayek, Altair, Arno Some might be confused by Bayek but there's a simple explanation for this. Bayek is the only assassin in the entire franchise that in lore was completely erased from and forgotten by history. He was not mentioned in any historical texts besides the Magas codex which even only contains him via Aya whose his only associated family. Not only was it hidden in rapidly deteriorating bureaus but was only founds over 900 years later by the pseudo assassin Eivor. The only piece of text that directly involves Bayek is his letter to Aya that Reda kept to himself for almost 1000 years, and it doesn't even say his name, only "The Hidden One". This means that despite the gameplay, Bayek during and even moreso after the main story was the most stealthy assassin. The only person to have ever learned about his existence and identity DIRECTLY was Layla Hassan over 2000 years after his death. And this was because she drove thousands of miles into the wild desert, and had an Animus that could read other people's ancestors. It's likely that without her Animus mod, Bayek would've never been learned about again. The other two are self explanatory as Altairs in lore abilities are directly shown in gameplay aswell as Arnos.
If altair could use bow , guns , hookblade , swim , crouch, grappling gun and other assassin's weapons and tools He would be completely invincible+unknown.
I think that Arno is the best. He is way better equipped than Altaïr, he’s faster, kills quicker and he has a lot of abilities that Altaïr just doesn’t have.
Obviously the most stealthiest assassin is the one who doesn't even have their own game. Darcy from Watch Dogs Legion. She can stay hidden for so long with her disguise ability and she can shroud the enemies once she kills them or takes them down which makes them camouflaged. Arno would be 2nd stealthiest. Altair 3rd stealthiest.
Every AC protagonist ranking video in a nutshell: "Technically, X is better at A and B than Y, but Y has better C." The result: "Ezio winz. I love him, shit up!"
Aveline had no reason to lose style point for not wearing the hood if the premise is about being stealthy which she’s good at and Edward lost no points despite not even being an actual assassin.
I’d put Basim as the top spot now. Playing through those black box missions on the hardest difficulty makes it feel so much more tense and high-stakes, and given most of those black box missions take place outside and not inside like Arno, the fewer hiding places make it significantly more impressive that Basim did them all without being seen. His robes are also similar to Altaïr’s in that they realistically fit the setting, given he’s in Baghdad and the hood could realistically be seen as a normal clothing item to keep sand out of the eyes.
imo edward is the stealthiest assassin, he literally took his ship through an entire river thing in a trailing mission which was fucking irritating but still
I think Altair has to be the stealthiest since he is one of the few assassins whose clothes actually blend him in with the people of his time and he also strictly follows the tenants of the brotherhood (except at the start of the game of course) but the fact that he got demoted then promoted again to the top shows you how much of a hardworker he was. Now you may say its Arno that’s the stealthiest because of how stealthy you can make him but I still find the fact that he looks like a certified killer among a crowds a huge give away and ruins some logical element when it comes to stealth.
Shay Cormac is another suitable candidate, while not an assassin in his later years his toolset and environment was extremely well suited to stealth gameplay. Lots of way to hide in both cities and the outdoors, a silent riffle for sleep and berserk ammo. And if you did some simple hunting (beavers were easiest to farm) you could craft more than enough ammo for it while on missions.
We cannot forget that in addition to all this, he was able to eliminate Arno's father during a party full of people, but without anyone detecting his presence or even knowing who was responsible.
If gameplay is considered: - Arno and evie If Lore and Feats are considered: Ezio and Altaïr Top 4 Assassin's for a reasons. I'll always believe Ezio was a much stealthily Assassin's cause he had more abilities and his setting was more stealthiesh and Altaïr was having the Stealth Assassin's feats. But them both are the best for me whereas Arno and evie are children who followed their right path according to me.
I commented this on your other video but you didnt respond. In an older assassins creed video you had you talked about how you dont mind odyssey and kassandra. But not with all of youtube and the assassins creed communtiy hating kassandra you quickly change your mind to hating kassandra. In a video comparing ac origins and ac odyssey you gave origins 26 out of 30 and odyssey 21 out of 30 showing that they are pretty close. You have said that origins is one of the better games and you also say odyssey is one of the worst. Personally i think you changed your mind on what you think of the games because the communtiy doesnt like odyssey. A bit of a yes man move. But i am still a fan of you and your content. I am just genuenly curious about what you really think of odyessy
Arno definitely deserves this one. With Altair, he almost always assassinates people in broad daylight and in crowded areas, where he's easily discovered. With Arno, he plans his kills so meticulously that he can kill his target without anyone knowing. This is what makes Arno deadlier. The guards can't even begin to chase him, because nobody knew he was there. You are helpless against him.
That idea comes from game mechanics because story wise Altaïr was so good at stealth and creating the perfect situation for his kill that he didn’t even have a life bar meaning that he didn’t get hit
@@vizard7548 Altaïr was the type of guy to get the info on the target and create a perfect plan we’re he kills the guy and gets out without harm He is essentially what an assassin should be Stealthy and cold blooded Altaïr didn’t fight that much actually because he did his job as an assassin

@@lordolxinator just gave my opinion on something I was excited about lmao. obviously on a video about ranking all of the assassins I knew they were gonna come up, but I didn't think he was gonna make the same points I made about evie lol
I shall not sleep until he does the drippiest of both assassins and Templar’s
@masterassassin
Easy win for Connor and Shay
Ezio easy
Shay and Connor
Shay Connor and Edward are all drippy from their fit and the water
Any of Arno, Altair or Evie could be argued as the stealthiest
Could we get a video on which assassin stays true to the tenants of the creed the most?
I say Altair is the most loyal he was born on the creed he died on the creed.
@@Everyonesbuddy829 My guy... Altair literally broke all three tenets of the Brotherhood's creed. 1) He kills an innocent mine worker. 2) He makes his presence known to enemies. 3) Fails to kill Robert, compromising the Brotherhood.
@@jessesnyder4246Then never broke the tenets until he died 80 or 70 something years later and he became a mentor.
I think Connor deserves some points for stealth for the hunting, you had to be very stealthy
IKR
That's what I thought .it's kinda part of his lifestyle. Being in nature and hunting you would figure he can really be hidden especially in the woods. Not to mention all his years in the tribe transfer over well in the next 10 years of formal assassin training. .i thought he'd be one
I think Evie can get a little more credit, because even though in more modern times you get more technologies to help you blend in (giving you an advantage), it can also be a disadvantage living in more modern times. In previous games, you could wear your weapons openly in public with no real suspicion placed on you. In Syndicate they had to use hidden swords in canes, small knives etc I think this makes Evie a little more stealthy. But I do see arguments for Arno and Altair, I think all are definitely in the top 3.
Altair definitely earns his victory in this one. Even tho Altair assassinated his targets in broad daylight in front of dozens or even hundreds of ppl which definitely isn't the stealthiest method at all because after that, the targets knew he was coming. But he still was always able to find a way to his targets no matter what security measures they did and that is really impressive. You can see how the targets progressively have more and more guards and security measures as you advance in the game. One of the targets is so fearful and paranoid, that he starts killing scholars thinking it's Altair, since he knows he's coming for him.
Over Avaline i dont think so you talk about stealth but mans literally wear the same type of fit every time he go out Avaline you'll never even know Shes an assassin shorty was diff in liberation fans just dick ride Arno nd Altair
@@Draxplayzit2 I am always bringing up Ade and Aveline myself, cause the get forgotten by many fans since they got only little side games and not big mainline games. And I agree she is like top 3 in terms of stealth with the assassins. The clothing argument doesn't work that well cuz some games don't even allow costume changes and in other games it's optional, but you could play it through with the default costume too. Liberation is unique in that sense that the costumes aren't just cosmetic, but serve a purpose, so idk if it's really fair to say that "Aveline has disguises so she automatically is better at stealth". She is very good with stealth, but Altair's stealth feats are more impressive. Like even tho ppl recognized him and his iconic white robe, they would never know when he would strike until it was too late.
@@Draxplayzit2tbf arno can impersonate people down to their bones
It may go against the purpose of this video but I don't mind Connor not being the stealthiest. If I see a large hooded man rushing at me full speed with a tomahawk, I'd be wishing I didn't notice him in the first place.
Might sound crazy but I think the easiest way to tell would be seeing how many missions either required stealth or stealth was required for 100% synchronization in each game. I think that would be an interesting video idea but it would probably still be Altair. But I'm sure Edward would be like third with all the tailing missions
Connor is a very strong contender for this. Arno is amazing in stealth but Connor was boarding ships in a middle of a battle without getting detected and the optional objectives show that you have to do this in multiple missions without getting detected to get 100% sync and many of these missions are very hard and nearly impossible in some missions (f*ck the ship stealth one) to be stealthy in. Getting 100% is I think the true canon way of doing things showing that Connor's skills are on another level. Also, he is a great hunter and can sneak up on predators whose sense of hearing and are miles better than any humans but Connor can still somehoe sneak uo on them. In my opinion, Arno is great but Connor's stealth is literally on another level.
Thank you wish TH-camrs did more research than just go off of biases
Altair is a good choice but you can’t rule out Basim. When doing his multi kill ability the animus glitches out trying to keep up with his movements, no other assassin has ever caused something like that to happen
How can you put the fraye twins together when Evie is arguably the stealthiest of all assassins, whereas Jacob is quite the opposite. I'd actually say he's the least stealthiest tbh
Every other Assassins: "Stick to the shadows and pick your enemies off one by one"
The Kenway family: "Blade go stabby"
Edward is one of the stealthiest in the series
You should have done Stay Patrick Cormac
I think evie got overlooked as well but great video
Kenway can somehow stop people spotting a full on pirate ship from more than 30 feet away
for me the top 5 stealthiest assassins are:
1. Altair
2. Ezio
3. Arno
4. Aveline
5. Evie
Ubisoft should just bring remastered version of AC Unity
The regular is good enough
@@JFVideos960couple little touches on the game wouldn’t hurt nobody! Still my favorite of the series hands down
@@marioalonzo1474 true, but with how Ubisoft remastered AC3, and how Rockstar did their Definitive Edition it seems a little too risky
Feel bad for Connor at 9:00😂
Evie Frye 😍 could turn invisible, clear an area from a flagpole, why oh why did she lose that ability for Jack the Ripper. Didn't know that ability was an animus hack, then why oh why wasn't the hack around for Jack the Ripper
Didn't see Shay Patrick Cormac on the list, he may have turned Templar, but he totally started as Assassin
I will not stop until you talk about the prince of persia series
Okay I'm gonna have to disagree on Ezio being really stealthy compare to other assassin's. First of all, most of his assassinations are actually extremely high profile such as his killing of the doge during Carnivale, Uberto, Dante and the other during which he initiates a district wide battle to get to them, and pretty much every main assassination through his trilogy results in every guard in his location to be alerted. Not to mention his conspicuous clothing (which is impressive he can blend with them), and the fact that he's the most famous assassin in universe I believe.
So there's two categories where I would rate the stealthiest assassin: Gameplay and In-Lore. Gameplay is how stealthy you are when playing (since the Animus let's you basically sandbox your missions), and in lore is how they are in the actual AC lore. As in their actual stealth capability despite gameplay.
I have a top for gameplay: Arno, Altair, Connor. Arno obviously has the advantages mentioned in the video but there's also the fact that he's the only truly stealth based assassin to be able to crouch in gameplay. He's able to silently move through a house which is much quieter than outside, he can dispatch targets from a distance, and he's very skilled in stealth. I'm currently playing all AC games and haven't gotten to Ubity but the first time around I remember all his assassinations being very silent and unknown. For example the route you go into the churches confession booth and take out your target there. You can then leave without ever being seen.
For Altair, it's pretty self explanatory, he's the most elaborate, tedious, and slow in his methods, making him extremely stealthy.
Connor is also very stealthy. While he's definitely more combat oriented, alot of his assassinations are actually pretty quiet and alot of his missions have him blending in. He doesn't single uandedly initiate battles or events, he simply tags along and blends as just another "patriot". Take the battle of bunker hill for example. He's clearly seen by hundreds of red costs but they do not know he's an assassin, they just think he's like an eccentric patriot troop. The moment he's around the hill- he's gone. If you follow full sync, he actually has minimized casualties and strikes Pitcairn without any detection only until after killing, as per the standard of the creed. This is also coupled with the fact that Connor can sneak right up to prey without detection when in bushes. Meaning he's somehow silent enough to not be hard by enhanced animal ears and can mask his scent.
Lore wise: Bayek, Altair, Arno
Some might be confused by Bayek but there's a simple explanation for this. Bayek is the only assassin in the entire franchise that in lore was completely erased from and forgotten by history. He was not mentioned in any historical texts besides the Magas codex which even only contains him via Aya whose his only associated family. Not only was it hidden in rapidly deteriorating bureaus but was only founds over 900 years later by the pseudo assassin Eivor. The only piece of text that directly involves Bayek is his letter to Aya that Reda kept to himself for almost 1000 years, and it doesn't even say his name, only "The Hidden One". This means that despite the gameplay, Bayek during and even moreso after the main story was the most stealthy assassin. The only person to have ever learned about his existence and identity DIRECTLY was Layla Hassan over 2000 years after his death. And this was because she drove thousands of miles into the wild desert, and had an Animus that could read other people's ancestors. It's likely that without her Animus mod, Bayek would've never been learned about again.
The other two are self explanatory as Altairs in lore abilities are directly shown in gameplay aswell as Arnos.
I like this but I never played unity so I automatically say I disagree but I trust u .good point
2:22 this is why Arno is my favorite character the weaponry and parkour skills what got me hooked to the series
If altair could use bow , guns , hookblade , swim , crouch, grappling gun and other assassin's weapons and tools
He would be completely invincible+unknown.
Every assassin: Never compromise the broth-
Connor: GIVE ME LEE!
I think that Arno is the best. He is way better equipped than Altaïr, he’s faster, kills quicker and he has a lot of abilities that Altaïr just doesn’t have.
honestly its between Aveline and arno ofc when it comes to pure stealth not tying in the parkour factor
Obviously the most stealthiest assassin is the one who doesn't even have their own game. Darcy from Watch Dogs Legion.
She can stay hidden for so long with her disguise ability and she can shroud the enemies once she kills them or takes them down which makes them camouflaged.
Arno would be 2nd stealthiest.
Altair 3rd stealthiest.
Every AC protagonist ranking video in a nutshell:
"Technically, X is better at A and B than Y, but Y has better C."
The result: "Ezio winz. I love him, shit up!"
Aveline had no reason to lose style point for not wearing the hood if the premise is about being stealthy which she’s good at and Edward lost no points despite not even being an actual assassin.
Templar: “You got yourself caught. So what’s the next step in your master plan!?”
Conner: “Crashing this plane… with no survivors!”
None of the assassins from 1 to rogue cause they dont F***ING CROUCH
I’d put Basim as the top spot now. Playing through those black box missions on the hardest difficulty makes it feel so much more tense and high-stakes, and given most of those black box missions take place outside and not inside like Arno, the fewer hiding places make it significantly more impressive that Basim did them all without being seen. His robes are also similar to Altaïr’s in that they realistically fit the setting, given he’s in Baghdad and the hood could realistically be seen as a normal clothing item to keep sand out of the eyes.
Arno And Basim Are The Stealthiest Assassins
imo edward is the stealthiest assassin, he literally took his ship through an entire river thing in a trailing mission which was fucking irritating but still
Never fully realized that Altair had a crossbow, was too focused on the action.
Kenway family is definitely not the stealthiest 😂😂, they are get the Glock beat the boss type
Bro you should add points to her for being practical not the other way around
I really can not wait for basim to be in these videos.
Sorry but arno has WAY too much utility to not give him the nod. Especially when i use him😈
1. Arno
2. Altair
3. Evie
4. Aveline
5. Ezio
1 and 2 .idk but yea sure
I think Altair has to be the stealthiest since he is one of the few assassins whose clothes actually blend him in with the people of his time and he also strictly follows the tenants of the brotherhood (except at the start of the game of course) but the fact that he got demoted then promoted again to the top shows you how much of a hardworker he was. Now you may say its Arno that’s the stealthiest because of how stealthy you can make him but I still find the fact that he looks like a certified killer among a crowds a huge give away and ruins some logical element when it comes to stealth.
Altair is synonymous with stealthy...
If you saw him, you are either another assassin or you are about to die.
Ezio isn't creeping up on anyone with all that armor dude
Definitely Eivor....because there won't be any enemies left to see him.
Shay Cormac is another suitable candidate, while not an assassin in his later years his toolset and environment was extremely well suited to stealth gameplay. Lots of way to hide in both cities and the outdoors, a silent riffle for sleep and berserk ammo. And if you did some simple hunting (beavers were easiest to farm) you could craft more than enough ammo for it while on missions.
We cannot forget that in addition to all this, he was able to eliminate Arno's father during a party full of people, but without anyone detecting his presence or even knowing who was responsible.
I think shay fits more as a hunter than an assasin
Whith all the tailing mission black flag have i said edward got stealh
Arno because he can take down bases with up to 70 guards and not get spotted
Aveline have hood you buy it in the tailor and in the ware house you equiped it
Nobody:
Evie: *turns invisible*
If gameplay is considered: - Arno and evie
If Lore and Feats are considered: Ezio and Altaïr
Top 4 Assassin's for a reasons. I'll always believe Ezio was a much stealthily Assassin's cause he had more abilities and his setting was more stealthiesh and Altaïr was having the Stealth Assassin's feats. But them both are the best for me whereas Arno and evie are children who followed their right path according to me.
And also Edward for lore
I have watched all of your "who's the ???" Playlist. And you are hence forth my favourite TH-camr
Think basin could take a top spot now with mirage being out
Time to be honest here guys we all know the stealthiest assassin is Big Boss in MGSV: Ground Zeroes.
Let’s be honest the most stealthy is clearly Hitman from the Hitman series
Connor is the tipe of guy that deliberately chooses to not be stealthy only to put fear in the enemy
I commented this on your other video but you didnt respond.
In an older assassins creed video you had you talked about how you dont mind odyssey and kassandra. But not with all of youtube and the assassins creed communtiy hating kassandra you quickly change your mind to hating kassandra. In a video comparing ac origins and ac odyssey you gave origins 26 out of 30 and odyssey 21 out of 30 showing that they are pretty close. You have said that origins is one of the better games and you also say odyssey is one of the worst. Personally i think you changed your mind on what you think of the games because the communtiy doesnt like odyssey. A bit of a yes man move. But i am still a fan of you and your content. I am just genuenly curious about what you really think of odyessy
Connor hiding in the bushes while Haytham was getting beatdown showed that he's the best in stealth 😂
Valhalla should’ve used tree parkour
Unrelated but still
Arno: they don't even know they dead till they see me walking by
Probably evie since she literally has an invisibility cloak
Altaïr also never took a hit during his assassin life
i know he/she isnt an assassin per se but its defo Eivor
Arno definitely deserves this one. With Altair, he almost always assassinates people in broad daylight and in crowded areas, where he's easily discovered. With Arno, he plans his kills so meticulously that he can kill his target without anyone knowing. This is what makes Arno deadlier. The guards can't even begin to chase him, because nobody knew he was there. You are helpless against him.
That idea comes from game mechanics because story wise Altaïr was so good at stealth and creating the perfect situation for his kill that he didn’t even have a life bar meaning that he didn’t get hit
The fact he assassinates his target broad daylight without getting caught is actually a point up for Altair.
@@rickanapazIts just that he has such a high amount of skill that he doesnt even need to be stealthy, and thats why he was never hit
@@vizard7548 Altaïr was the type of guy to get the info on the target and create a perfect plan we’re he kills the guy and gets out without harm
He is essentially what an assassin should be
Stealthy and cold blooded
Altaïr didn’t fight that much actually because he did his job as an assassin
My man never forgets to roast ac odyssey💀💀
Who is the most humble Assassin?
