|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wolf Blade (Katana) | Katana | The balanced single-blade foundation of Atsu's kit, carried from the game's opening and upgraded into the campaign's most flexible melee weapon. | Role: Balanced single blade Reach: Medium Strong Against: Sword-wielding enemies | Starter melee weapon, in Atsu's hands from the prologue in the Yotei Grasslands |
| Dual Katana | Dual Katana | A fast paired-blade style built around quick, consecutive attacks that shred staggered opponents. | Role: Speed and combo pressure Reach: Short Strong Against: Polearm (Yari) enemies | Unlocked by completing 'The Way of the Dual Katana' main mission in the Yotei Grasslands |

| Yari (Spear) | Yari | The longest-reaching melee weapon in Atsu's set, used for spacing, sweeping strikes and a powerful sprinting sweep. | Role: Spacing and crowd control Reach: Very long Strong Against: Groups of melee attackers | Taught through the 'The Way of the Yari' subquest, which opens once Atsu reaches the region where the spear master waits |
| Kusarigama | Kusarigama | A chain-sickle that defines the game's stagger-then-execute loop: the weighted chain breaks an enemy's poise from range, then the sickle finishes them. | Role: Stagger from range, then burst damage Reach: Long (chain) Strong Against: Polearm and shielded enemies | Pursue the Kitsune questline and defeat the Nine Tails to complete 'The Way of the Kusarigama' |

| Tanegashima (Rifle) | Rifle | A matchlock rifle that delivers the highest single-shot damage of Atsu's ranged options at the cost of a long reload. | Role: Single-target burst, opening shot Reach: Very long Ammo: Lead balls | Purchased from gunsmith merchants around Ezo |
| Kunai (Throwing Dagger) | Throwable | Fast, silent thrown blades used to interrupt enemies, finish staggered foes and take out isolated lookouts. | Role: Stealth utility and finishing Reach: Short Ammo: Kunai | Looted from enemies and camps, and stocked by general-goods merchants |
