Short: The Assassin's iconic weapon is a perfect stealth weapon for immediate and precision strikes, but after the initial use, it kind of obvious. The Tanto is overall better for direct combat as its basically an easier to use blade. The Assassins have to rely too much on getting the jump on the Ninjas or walking up to them and stabbing them in the chest, the latter isn't happening since it'll be pretty damn obvious. EDGE: Ninjas

Swords: The Ninjato, despite not being a real weapon is still a pretty good not real weapon. But that being said, the Syrian Sabre is overall the better weapon for combat here. The heavier weight and extra length allows for more deadly attacks and being allowed to hit your opponent before you can get a hit in with the Ninjato. The curved design also allows for a better and deeper cuts in combat EDGE: Assassins
