A typical assassin should be cautious and silent when doing their work, but the assassins in Assassin’s Creed are not your typical lot.
The members of the Brotherhood very well know how to demonstrate their physical strength when things go wrong. They are not only capable of killing their targets from the shadows but can also take down their opponents head-on should the need arise.
So, who among all of them stands as the strongest? here are the top 10 strongest assassins in Assassin’s Creed based on their physical strength.
Disclaimer: All the entries in the list have been ranked according to their physical strength. If you want to know who is the most skilled assassin, check out our list of the Top 10 most-skilled assassins.
10Evie Frye
Strengths – Brains and Muscles, Critical Thinking, Tactician and strategist, Tracker
The Frye twins from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate are like the two sides of a coin. Together they liberated London from the Templars and accumulated power for the Brotherhood through their gang – The Rooks.
Evie Frye is a better assassin than her brother Jacob by all accounts. She is the one with more brain than muscle. Her strengths lie in the fact that she is a great tactician and is capable of outwitting her opponents. Physical strength is where she lacks. Sure, she takes on the Templars and Jack the Ripper (DLC) but she came out on top because of her intelligence and not her physical strength.
9Jacob Frye
Strengths – More muscles than brain, Aggressive nature, Good with fists
Jacob Frye is the other side of the coin named Frye twins, and he is the one with more physical strength.
Jacob possesses quite good physical strength as evidenced by his fighting style which is more of a close-quarters combat, and also by the fact that he frequently took part in wrestling matches. Jacob flexes the muscles of his arms rather than his brain, which makes him quite a strong assassin in terms of physical strength.
8Altair
Strengths – Master Assassin, Hidden Blade, Stealth, Good swordsman, Wise
Altair was the protagonist of the first Assassin’s Creed game, responsible for the existence of the whole franchise in the first place.
Altair has all the skills required for an assassin, he is agile and quick. He performed cleaner kills than any other assassin in the series and greatly utilized the Apple of Eden to gain vast knowledge. Despite all this, being physically strong is not what comes to mind when talking about this legendary assassin.
Altair was wise and smart but he was not strong. Sure, he could take on a couple of guards together in a fight, but that is nothing when compared to some other assassins on the list. Altair was truly your typical assassin.
7Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Strengths – Dual Hidden Blades, Stealth, Apple of Eden, Master Swordsman, Adaptable
The fan favorite Ezio Auditore requires no introduction. He was a very skilled assassin who quickly rose to the rank of Master assassin and even Mentor in the Italian Brotherhood.
Ezio was an adaptable assassin. He was a quite skilled swordsman and made use of firearms, He also had some decent physical strength but much like Altair, he is also more of a typical assassin. Striking from shadows and utilizing stealth to his advantage.
Ezio was unable to fight the guards at the beginning of Assassin’s Creed 2, while his father and brother were being hanged. So, it is safe to say physical strength was not one of his best traits.
6Edward Kenway
Strengths – Master of Dual wielding swords, expert aim, proficiency with ranged weapons, Master of Naval Warfare.
Edward Kenway, the pirate who turned into an assassin only because of his desire to get rich, was a formidable warrior.
He was skilled in firearms as well as wielding two swords. He boasts quite a lot of physical strength. He frequently engaged in fist fights and made use of his strength shoulder bashing enemies into rocks/walls or out of a ship during combat.
He was also a great strategist, and along with his physical strength, he is certainly one strong assassin.
5Adewale
Strengths – Cunning Pirate, Wields Machete and a Shotgun
Adewale, was a slave who freed himself, became a pirate, and sailed with Edward before joining the brotherhood and becoming an assassin.
He showcases great physical strength; his physique was quite muscular and he liked weapons that were more physically demanding such as axes and big machetes. He was ruthless when it came to killing, he was a master of hand-to-hand combat and made use of his physical strength to defeat his opponents.
4Bayek of Siwa
Strengths – Shadow Fighting, Trained as a soldier, Muscular physique, Able to use heavy weapons
Bayek was one of the founding members of the ‘Hidden Ones’, and was one of the last Medjay of Ptolemaic Egypt.
Bayek was trained as a soldier which made him quite formidable in battle. Bayek was taught the ways of war, and his skills as a fighter are unquestionable. He possessed a lot of physical strength and was capable of wielding various types of heavy weapons.
It can be said without a doubt that Bayek could best most men during his time, with or without weapons. In either case, he is a dangerous man to fight.
3Connor Kenway
Strengths – Dual Wielding Axes, One Man Army, Great Hunter, Muscular Physique
Connor Kenway was a member of the colonial brotherhood, who handily wiped out the Templars in America and ensured independence for the United States of America.
Connor was trained as a warrior and a protector from the early years of his life. He was also trained as a hunter and was taught how to climb trees. Connor was a brute with so much physical strength that he could face waves of British soldiers alone, all the while dispatching them as quickly as possible. His physical strength is quite difficult to match in combat. He was a one-man army.
Even after being severely hurt, he was able to kill two skilled Templars, Haytham Kenway and Charles Lee.
