Altair studied the apple of Eden for years and created all the different hidden blade designs
He has wisdom maybe not smart or maybe he is smart & Connors is smart too both of them stick to their goal to very end didn't get lost or swayed by anything, tackling problem comes their path but then Altaïr was fooled by his Master.
@@BabuMosahi He was young I mean we've all been there too stupid and angry to do anything right
@ENDERSHOT Altair created future hidden blade designs you don't know much assassin's creed lore do you
@ENDERSHOT Darius, who was around when Alexios and Kassandra, created the wrist blade. Which more were made, Bayek wore it wrong and it became the "Hidden Blade"
Ok…. Tf💀
I find Altair as the smartest based on his feats of making the brotherhood into a powerhouse across the globe, making new areas himself. Also, with the studies of eden gain him knowledge to make hundreds of books and make weapons far beyond his time
Also he lived so long and had the apple for so long imagine the stuff he saw over the years
The Apple is why I have issue with Altair being called the smartest. He had access to something no one had in his time and it gave him centuries of knowledge advantage over anyone else. Just how much of the Codex is Altair's knowledge and how much came from what the Apple showed him?
I do give him he's the one Assassin with the most willpower to not get corrupted by the Apple like so many others would but smartest is streching it for me.
@@Ruben-to9yk yet I agree with what your saying as alot of the knowledge knows is from the apple. In my opinion he is definitely smart in terms of being an assassin's alot of the way he moves and acts shows that he isnt a loose cannon and is always looking at othe plans. That's one of the reasons why he was able to become a master assasin at the age of 24 whitch is the youngest anyone has become a master assasin.
Having acces to knowledge has nothing to do with being smart. Wisdom ≠ being smart
@@alinpetrescu2309 access to knowledge is on par with being smart it is irrelevant where the info came from.Aside from that altair at a young age was considered one of the best and smartest assassins.Sadly people who are smart arent immune to pride or hubris.
Just a random idea :
Smartest Templars
I think Villans deserves a lil attention too
read my mind
Haytham would have a good chance
@@muffinman7479 AC3 would have been alot better if thr main character was Haytham instead of Connor
@@aleksandarsavevski377 and why?
@@ravinathdev son of a famous assassin turned Templar, rose to grandmaster status, learns he has a son, learns that same son he didn't know existed is part of his enemies, tries to convince son to join him, only to die by his sons hand.
Pretty good story
Jack The Ripper DLC is enough to prove how smart EVIE is .😎😎
Was about to comment about the dlc 👌
exactly
@no info No the conpent was jacob was stronger while evie is smarter
can we agree that Arno is the most reckless
@no info Yeah exactly ubishit want to attract feminist players by making men weak . Why not make them equal ?
For me it really boils down to Altair and Evie. I would definitely agree with you on Evie overall. Although Altair had the apple most of the time, reading the codex pages and seeing how he thought about things, the philosophical ideas and where he ultimately led the assassins was very wise in my eyes. But Evie had to really rely on her wits and tactics with no piece of eden to help her and one cannot disrespect the one person who took down Jack the Ripper. Respect EViE!
For me personally I have Evie right below Altaïr at number two and Ezio in third right below her.
Bruh Jacob carried her in the dlc
I 100% agree, Evie is the most well planned out Assassin. She does move according to plan but when she's around Jacob it causes a distraction.
Not only that. She has to clean all of the mess Jacob causes because Jacob can be a real doofus. 😂😂😂
Man are you kidding altiar is the smartest
Jacob always gets the job done but it’s always executed sloppily. Evie gets distracted around Jacob, it’s her biggest flaw as an assassin.
IMO they make quite a good pair. Where Evie lacks in taking action she will make up for in planning. and where jacob lacks in planing, he will make up for in taking action. so instead of competing, they should embrace who they are. a sword and shield, works best together.
@@Fl3XeR4 I mean at the end of the day this is all just a matter of subjective thing. I know I play more with Evie cuz she feels more agile to me. while both are great Evie is more easy to me for the job. but again is all subjective just like he made his opinions on his own video.
I do agree that Evie is very smart, but I have to give it to Altaïr because he reformed the brotherhood, was a wise mentor and how his knowledge grew by studying the Apple of Eden is remarkable. Writing the Codex alone shows how smart he is and there is a reason he was a mentor for such a long time. You can’t take it for granted that he invented the Hidden Gun and how to use the Hidden Blade without chopping your finger off. The guy was as smart, if not as smart as Leonardo Da Vinci because you can’t forget that when it came to wisdom Ezio mostly relied on him. Altaïr only relied on himself.
Well technically Altaïr got a lot of his wisdom from the Assassins around him and Al Mualim, during his story he's dumb and naive but eventually matures as he follows the tenants of the creed.
@@Matasuh I wouldn’t call him dumb. He was very arrogant and was like ‘My way or the highway”, though I don’t think there were highways back then lol.
I just can't give it to Altair cause of WHERE his wisdom seems to come from. He had decades to study the apple and the invention of the gun was something born from those privileges. He made scores of mistakes during his time. His reluctance to deal with Abbas caused him unbelievable grief as in the loss of everything he had worked for during his time leading the Brotherhood, the death of his son was directly caused by his inaction and then the death of his wife would have most likely been avoided if he had kept his cool and been the wise man we were supposed to view him as. Inaction and then acting on pure instinct is something I feel much of his life was colored by.
Ezio in my eyes is the smartest Assassin.
Sure, in his early days he clearly is brash, lustful and vengeful. He never listens and has the tendency to act way too hastily.
He does however learn so damn much from every single one of his experiences. He's a fast learner. It's what I'd consider his biggest strength. How fast you learn is what I'd consider the standard of judging how smart an individual is. Over the course of his games he grows so much in terms of his intellect, wisdom and patience. He always maintains his willingness to learn. He learns to not listen to his every instinct. When to stay his blade. Yet, he never fails to take action when the situation calls for it. He's also resourceful and cunning. In fact I'd say he's more cunning than all of the protagonists so far have been. You can always count on him sidestepping the problem.
Evie is runner up in my opinion.
@@sindri1447 He had the Apple to study and he learned a lot from it, but it’s not like the Apple puts the idea of the Hidden Gun in your head and it becomes so easy to invent afterwards. Leonardo da Vinci was definitely smarter than Ezio and had to figure out how to create these inventions and Altaïr did the same, albeit maybe with more time. From what I’ve seen Altaïr didn’t think it was wise to construct the Hidden Gun for he knew it could be abused by other members of the Brotherhood. That’s why he waited to construct it because he had no choice if he was to defeat Abbas. The construction of the library is also something you need to consider. He was always thinking far ahead and could see the big picture.
I’m not saying Ezio is dumb, not at all. Ezio is very smart. He’s a natural leader by the time of Brotherhood, but he never accomplished anything as big as Altaïr did. Talking of privileges Ezio had many teachers, who taught him to be an Assassin the way Altaïr became an Assassin and Altaïr started that. When he first grew up he was indoctrinated only to do what Al Muslim told them to do. But he was able to break himself from that and learned on his own what the words ‘Nothing is true, everything is permitted’ truly means. He started the new brotherhood that every other brotherhood in the future based their ideology on.
@@sindri1447 you confuse wisdom and knowledge with intelligence. Sure Altair had the Apple. But knowledge is worthless if you don’t know what to do with it. That’s what intelligence is. And Altair used the Apple and it’s knowledge to the fullest potential, he is the most intelligent assassin.
Don’t confuse wisdom with intelligence, some of the greatest scientists weren’t wise about what they were discovering
To me Altaïr is the smartest because of how he revolutionised the creed moving away from having a strongholds and instead sticking to the shadows and because the majority of his life was spent studying
Damn I thought I commented this and was like what?
@@catchall2874 😭😭
Got to give Arno credit for the Paris Mysteries and the Nostradamus riddles. Some main story missions play into this detective angle like figuring out who the poisoner was. He’s also got a point about disobeying the French Order, they were divided and tended to be ineffectual at dealing with the Templars, far too much to effectively temper Arno’s more impulsive nature. Both the Assassins and Templars were too caught up in their own internal politics to carry out their goals effectively, reflecting the social class conflict that characterised the revolution that is the backdrop to Unity.
There are parts of Origins that show Bayek making connections, but unlike the Paris Mysteries the clues are indicated to you and the player isn’t the one making the conclusions, it’s ingame Bayek. Odyssey is similar in this mechanic, even though the Eagle Bearer isn’t technically an Assassin and exempt from the running. The dialogue tree does put more player choice in however, with different choices having consequences like the Spartan who you accuse of being the Cult member, the person who killed the town in the first episode of the Legacy of the First Blade and the murder investigation with Lyra in Judgement of Atlantis. It doesn’t change the overall story, but creates minor variations in later missions anyway based on your deductive skills (and thus the deductive skills of the Eagle Bearer).
yuhhh
Agreed
I thought before clicking the video “it has to be Evie” and yes sir!!
Evie is a great character, I wish Syndicate had Evie as the only main character, would have been much better!
I'd disagree, but I see why people would've wanted more of Evie. Personally I enjoyed Jacob a little bit more, I don't know why, but maybe i did because I can kind of relate to him, but that's just my opinion
Honestly Evie was my least favourite protagonist in the series (besides Shay) she had next to no actual personality besides "quirky and smart sometimes" (basically Hermione from harry potter) and everything she did in the game was reactionary to someone else. if it wasn't for Jacob, Evie would still be in Crawly siting at home reading books all day.
i feel like jacob was waayyyyy better in the dlc than he was in the main story
@@PapaBellic absolutely, much more mature and interesting
I was fine withh it honestly how both of their stories tied together my only gripe…. Fucking not being able to wear my hood
Altair maybe isnt the smartest, but for sure he s the wisest
Nah, Think about ezio. Even though Altair has held and learned from the apple of eden, so has Ezio.
@@Zoxxies but Altair had it for like 70 years
@@Zoxxies the game literally calls him the wisest at the beginning of ac3. With the wisdom of Altair and the ability of ezio
It’s Altair. He studied and learned from the apple. The knowledge he learned from the apple is above what any another assassin has learned. He knew knowledge from the future and you can’t outsmart a person that knows what’s going to happen
It’s about time someone gives Evie some love. She is one of my favorite Assassin’s personally she is my 3rd favorite one. 1st being Ezio and 2nd being Altair and while I do love Edward I have to rank him 4th bc I just like Evie more for some reason.
And Connor?????!!!
@@strikeme1551 uhh do u want the honest answer? Not super high up there tbh. I didn’t like him too much but I didn’t hate him as much as other ppl did I would rank him probably 5th or 6th it’s a tie with Arno
@@strikeme1551 also I now know what you’re thinking if I disliked Connor so much how do I possibly have Evie ranked so high? It’s mainly bc the first Assassin’s Creed game I ever played was Syndicate I grew up watching my brother play the other ones but I never jumped into the series myself until syndicate so Evie is ranked higher on my list just bc of the nostalgia factor with her as I played syndicate mostly using her bc I liked her more than Jacob.
@@strikeme1551 bruh your forcing someone to like connor shows how much of a fanboy you are
@@SexLuthor lol 😂 u have a point man thx for that
thought ur gonna hate all of Syndicate's things lmao. Well, the smartness of Evie even portrayed more in Jack The Ripper DLC where she must hunt Jack all by herself while being some kind of 'detective' to solve some of his crimes. And all of this happened when she's 40s. Definitely worth to try if u haven't
I loved that DLC. I think they deserved at least two.
This was a really cool video idea!! I kind of disagree with about Jacob. Although we don't see a mature Jacob, only a cutscene or two, after Evie left with Henry, he had to rebuild the entire brotherhood. That definitely doesn't come without being smart and careful. Yes, Jacob in comparison to the other assassins is nothing special but I think it's important to recognize that he rebuilt the British Brotherhood
@Bobby Papoutsis Yeah he's the one who went out to the fight clubs and bars and got into fights, actually gaining experience and learning how the world works. (Kind of like Ezio in a way.) Evie listened to Ethan's lessons and really liked them, taking a particular interest in researching the Pieces of Eden. Jacob is definitely smart but he acts dumb most of the time. He's certainly irrational from time to time but that's completely different than being labeled as the dumbest Assassin
I am because I didn’t play odyssey or Valhalla
Gotta be Altaïr and Ezio for me. Altaïr completely revolutionized the Assassins and made sure it became a worldwide brotherhood. Ezio built 2 succesful and strong brotherhoods in both Rome and Constantinople and he renovated 3 cities.
Edit: Altaïr and Ezio also learned how to properly handle the Apple of Eden. Especially Altaïr, since he studied it his whole lifetime.
WE ALL SINNED AND DESERVE HELL BUT JESUS CHRIST CAME AND DIED ON THE CROSS SO NOW WE CAN HAVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS U CAN BECOME A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGHT GOF BUT THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY REPENT OF UR SINS MAKE JESUS UR LORD AND SAVIOR AND FOLLOW HIM WHILE RELYING ON HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS TO BE SAVED BUT BEWARE U DONT KNOW WHEN UR GONNA DIE SO COME TO CHRIST AND REPENT TODAY DESPITE SINNING AGAINST THE HOLY HOLY HOLY GOD HD CAME AND SUFFERED FOR OUR FORGIVENESS BC HE IS SO GOOD SO NOW U CAN HAVE FORGIVENESS BUT IF WE KEEP LIVING A SINFUL LIFE WE WILL SUFFER UNLESS WE REPENT PUT OUR FAITH IN CHRIST FOLLOW HIM AND RELY ON HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS TO BE SAVED SPIRITUALY WE ARE DEAD BC OF SIN BUT THRU CHRIST WE CAN HAVE LIFE ONE DAY GOD WILL JUDGE US ACCORDING TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS WHERE ALL OF US WILL BE GUILTY AND WILL DESERVE HELL BUT THRU CHRIST WE CAN BE INNOCENT REPENT OF UR SINS PUT UR FAITH IN HIM FOLLOW HIM AND RELY ON HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS TO BE SAVED HELL IS NO JOKE AND U DONT HAVE MUCH TIME SO COME TO HIM AND REPRNT TODAY GOD WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH U AND THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN THRU CHRIST JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY THE ONLY TRUTH AND THE ONLY LIFE
Gotta give Arno credit man. Dude had batman level detective skills.
Eh kind of a subjective argument, while formula was the same in a lot of games each protagonist’s were brilliant in their own way, if I had choose tho I’d say Altair
I agree because after ac1 Altaïr has studied the apple, which lead to making the codex pages and assisting Ezio in his journey. He Learned how to make the gun on the hidden blade if 1240s. Thats just why I think altaïr is the smartest Imo.
Of course it's subjective, thats why its intersting to talk about :)
But He was also hasty at some points when it would littearally be suicide
@@masterassassin791 absolutely, great vid overall
I disagree heavily. Just because Altair made a few mistakes based off emotions such as saying you told his son you told him you ordered his death or arrogance that he learns from doesn't take away from everything he did. Altair is the smartest assassin for me. Altair is both smart and wise which in cohesion with his skill makes him the most deadly imo. Evie is also intelligent.
It's interesting, the first protagonist ever and he is still the smartest and the most deadly.
In looking at Bayek one should remember that all other assassins on your list were either raised within the creed or adopted to and by the creed. Bayek, for all practical purposes, invented the creed, along with Aya. Still, can't argue that Evie was a classy and ingenius assassin. Good vid
Nah bayek is definitely the smartest one for his time he picked up on the Esu stuff really quickly and saw the need for every day person to never get there hands on that tech and saw the need for a creed to be made to stop the ancients from using said technology an ancients in general.. Ezio is smart but only in his old age do we really see this. His is however a quick thinker on his toes but bayek is definitely smarter
FAX
Adéwalé is probably the most CARING assassin, due to him always telling Edward to do the right thing.
To me, it is as if Adéwalé is an Guardian Angel to Edward, while Edward's greed and stubbornes is a Devil.
And yes, the two of them are LEGENDS in my book. 😎
This right here. So true man! Shame they killed him in rogue.
I honestly struggled to kill Adewale. I couldn't do it. I stayed in combat with him, deliberately not killing him, for like 10 minutes.
@@shallows529 Same, I was like " My heart, I can't do this, this man is a legend in his old age."
In africa it would be called as a spirit guide
@@shallows529 Adewale: Have I been unfair?
I think that Altaïr deserves credit for the fact that even before he got the apple he was constantly questioning everything, and trying to hear people's opinions. Each time he killed someone he would have questions, as each of them always said that they were doing things for the good of others. So it's interesting, but Altaïr kinda didn't trust Al Mualim all that much, and he caught on to it pretty quickly. Also, the things he says when he interrogates people show his knowledge and wisdom on things. I wouldn't say he's the smartest Assassin, but definitely that he deserves more credit. Also, there are two other portable games about Altaïr, which weren't covered in this review.
As for Bayek, I think he was pretty intelligent, and wise, but like, there weren't many situations like the old games where he had to use his intelligence in the same manner. (I still have yet to play The Hidden Ones DLC, so we'll see). Apart from that, he's an excellent hunter and tracker. And he knows how to solve crime scenes pretty well. So yeah, smarter than he looks.
As for Arno and Jacob; there were murder cases they could solve (and yes, the same murder cases could be solved by Evie, and there was no difference, but still), it shows that they do have good deductive skills.
Alexious is definitely the most smartest assassin ever.
Lol
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Michael langdon Gokuson no no dutch still hasn't enacted his *PLAN* yet
U fools!He isnt Arthur!!He is goddamn Micah
Regarding Evie after Syndicate, she married Henry and moved with him to India to study and train with the Assassins there. As far as I know she doesn’t return to London until 1888 when Jacob goes missing as seen in the Jack the Ripper DLC
I was happy when you said that Evie was the smartest assassin, I feel like those assassins and syndicate in general was quite underrated. I 100% agree with Evie being the smartest Assassin though
It made me happy too, that Evie got first place.
My opinion-
Knowledge: Altair
Intelligence: Ezio
Skill: Connor
The way I think of Edward is that he's very prone to not thinking things through but has the cunning to get through any situation he puts himself into.
I love how the 2 smartest are from the 2 biggest technological booms in history. Renaissance and Industrial Revolution
Video duration reminds me of my father, a great pilot he was
Bruh...
Wait a damn min
🙃🙃
😂 😂 😂
Bruh I had to look twice.
Master assassin is the smartest assassin in my opinion
I think you're onto something there
Altair wrote the codex pages,charted the world,created several variations of the hidden blades,rewrote the way the Brotherhood functioned,developed and refined assassin's techniques to make better use of the blades and added improvements to its design he also started the the double blade thing and wrote the manuals on how to use them properly so I'm pretty sure he's the smartest also let's not forget the assassin's armour was basically his brainchild aswell
for me is Ezio because the way he acts in the games, this man is the Batman of the Assassin´s creed series, hes a guy that studies everything possible to kill his target, it looks like is everything part of his plan just like in the beginning of AC Revelations
Extraordinary Genius. Altaïr was raised at the Assassin fortress at Masyaf and quickly rose through the ranks of the Order to become one of the most respected and feared Assassins in the Brotherhood, second only to its leader, Al Mualim. A cold and objective man, Altaïr fully devoted himself to whatever course he chose to pursue. He had a proud nature, and was often impetuous, demanding, arrogant, and impatient. However, after his failure at Solomon's Temple and commencing on a mission to redeem himself, Altaïr began pondering the motivations of his targets after listening to their final words.
Altaïr was a Master Assassin, capable of extraordinary acrobatic feats and versed in the application of deadly arts. Trained extensively, he was able to overcome any obstacle, human or terrain, climb the tallest towers and leap from the highest ledges without a hint of fear. Like other Assassins, he was also trained in stealth assassination techniques, hand-to-hand and weapons combat, and blade throwing. His noncombat skills included climbing, urban acrobatics, eavesdropping, interrogation, and pickpocketing. He also had extensive knowledge of Holy Land politics and religion, which helped him better understand his opponents. Once he gained access to the Apple's powers, he begain introducing new techniques to all the fields required for an Assassin to be perfect, like stealth, disguise, killing from the shadows, reconnaissance, combat skills, adaptability, advanced weaponry, using advanced tactics and much more. According to Niccolò Polo, at the age of 92 Altaïr retained the same strength; stamina and skill he had in his youth, possibly due to renewed training when he reclaimed the title of Mentor.
Altaïr also possessed Eagle Vision, a "sixth sense" or intuition that allowed him to see a person's true intentions. Due to this gift, Altaïr had heightened intuitive abilities and senses, along with his sharpened fighting skills. Altaïr's skills made him one of the most deadly and adept Assassins in the Order's history, and they were legendary even after his death.
Altaïr was also a skilled artist, and his Codex was heavily illustrated. In it he drew blueprints for Hidden Blade modifications; manuals for assassination techniques, maps, and even a detailed sketch of his wife, Maria, bordered with hand-drawn flowers. Due to his extensive research on the Apple thanks to his extremely fast learning skills, he had written several thousands of books dedicated to the Apple's knowledge alone in an extremely short amount of time and even made a library for them using advanced materials that even steel could not penetrate. As mentioned in his final confrontation with Abbas, Altaïr claimed to have seen many things about life, death, the past and the far future, thoroughly indicating that Altaïr had even learned about modern technology itself. He had invented advanced alloys as new materials for his Hidden Blades, alloys that were rare even in the modern world, and he even built an armor set far more advanced and lighter than anything else existing in the modern world, and he destroyed its formula in fear of the technology being too powerful for mankind to use. He was even trying to uncover the true origins of human life and why they existed, but having just started in the last years of his life, this meant that he would never finish his work. Even in death he would still occasionally hallucinate with the immense amount of knowledge he had gained in his entire lifespan and when spending a few moments on the Apple alone.
People sleep on Connors intelligence, the dude commanded an army 2 times and hardly lost any soldiers in the process. And in the battle of the Chesapeake Bay he scored a victory against multiple man o wars and destroyers. The dude is a tactician.
Agreed, and when he isn't angry he can have some very wise things to say, like his cut dialog at the end of 3.
Ezio kinda had an advantage,unlike most assasins he got more than one game, and now I just want to know what happened to the other assassins after their story
I understand Connor being so angry at Lee.The guy assaulted him when he was FIVE and spoke heinous things about his people.I have wanted to murder people for smaller things
Connor's hatred for Lee isn't "misplaced". Charles Lee still burned his village and indirectly killed his mother under Washington's orders, not to mention he's still a TEMPLAR.
I'm literally on sequence 10 of my playthrough (3rd time) connor is most definitely a dip shit
I thought Washington burned his village cause haytham said to give up the search
I agree with you I think evie is the smartest assassin. Ezio is the second
3rd is Edward he’s a very clever guy
i doubt ezio is amongst the top 3. he had someone act as his brains and thats da vinci... and also, most of his "knowledge" was obtained because of altair's legacy
@@jairusmislang2760 yes this is actually true lol da Vinci invented most of his gadgets so yes
Connor's hatred with Lee is still justified since Lee manipulated Connor's tribe and made them turn against the revolutionist.
Templars still manipulate and cleverly turned the tribe against Connor, who were just helping the Revolutionist at that time.
Can you make most wanted assassin.
This video felt more like comparing the different philosophies of the assassins, and then finding which one is most suited for an assassin, there is no real comparison in terms of smartness but still it was entertaining.
Connor is one of my favorite assassin's. Yes, he was naive. He comes from a culture that just wanted to live without persecution. You can't call someone stupid for having a passionate response to the raping and murdering of his people. Most conservatives find it "tyrannical" to wear masks during covid, so you can see that one of these things has a lot more meaning and gravity to it. (it's Connor).
That being said, I really want a second game with Connor. A game that shows him growing into a legitimate Assassin with experience and drive beyond revenge. Etzio got three games just given to him. It's only fair that we get to see Connor mature into a well thought out Assassin. I'm always gonna hate Ubisoft for not giving me that second game. Connor deserved more. Like you said, Ezio was a childish kid driven by revenge. So why does he get a redeeming 2nd and 3rd game? Why not Connor as well?
Yeah id like a second game with Connor redeeming himself or something definitely Not dumb just driven by Anger and hatred from a young age I think Ezio is just a majority fan favourite
You really had to include delusional identity politics didn’t you ?
Read my mind
@@iroh4880 Nah bro...Ezio got his sequel because it was the early days in the ac universe and ubisoft didn't know what to do back then..so they just went one with him..If you say Connor lacks emotions, Please feel free to play the homested missions
"People are fast to judge but slow to correct themselves"
Ezio auditore
"Have a great rest of your day assassin's"
Bro you just earned a Subscriber.
you should make a video about the real world assassins and their rise and fall
they even had masyaf castle
I came in thinking Ezio, but started thinking Altair. And the comments have me thinking that Altair is by far the smartest. Don't know much about Evie cause I haven't played anything between Unity and Valhalla
Altair literally was born into the assasins creed being taught to fight as young as possible and studied the apple of eden for years so I think we know who the smartest is
I'd say Altair is the wisest for he's the one who a lot if not most of the Assassins generations after him base their designs or ways on. He was also a revolutionary figure which takes a lot of smart too. Like, he led the assassins on multiple periods, even with the ego problems in his 20s-40s. He influenced them pretty heavily and even in a game like Unity you still feel the references to Altair's ways and teachings. I'd say Altair was at his best in his 90s. Ezio is definitely the most *mature* assassin, having grown from a brash, flirtacious rogue in the beginning of AC2 to a more understanding and calmer man in hell like halfway the game! Evie I'd say you're right on booksmart, I'd put her on the level of Hermione Granger, but, to be honest, she doesn't feel unique in her smartness or how she applies it imo.
Arno, I'd put in the same book as Ezio but doesn't grow nearly as mature. BUT, he does have character development which I have to respect once he returns back after his little drunken stupor phase when he got kicked out of the Brotherhood.
As always, MasterAssassin always provide high quality contents and discussion for the Assassin's Creed fans. You're the best bruhh!!
Arno is the smartest,Based on the gameplay,We know that he always plans a route before assassinate
I can see Ezio and Evie teaming up and Ezio inevitably says "Not bad, kid."
For their time, I agree with your assessment of Ezio and Evie. Though Evie might have the edge, due to technological breakthroughs Ezio wasn't around for, I think it would be too close to call in an identical setting.
Man Ezio always gave me Zorro vibes the way he looked in ASC 2 and in Brotherhood and the way he fights and runs on rooftops.
Honestly i think Altair is smarter considering he had the apple for years and did research with it.
Evie was BY FAR my favorite since Altaïr & Ezio... but part of that was her banter with Jacob. I wish he wasn't so stupid, because if they could have the sibling banter without him kinda sucking, that would be so cool. But honestly, I'd play another entire game as Evie or her apprentice.
Why do people forget Ezio killed the head of the janissaries off a hunch from the prince and without gathering Intel himself like Ataïr?
And blowing up a cave without counting civilian casualties just to kill one Templar?
(This is supposed to be old and wise Ezio not young and brash Ezio).
Altair…dudes library contained centuries of knowledge. He was the original pro at handling the Apple
Definitely Haytham guy was an child of a Assassin, does not mean he wasn't an Assassin just because he chose to be taking sides with Templars his son was an Assassin & his father, father too , Shay was an Assassin, Haytham he was an ancestor to Desmond who was an Assassin .
@Ryan Romano I think Ubisoft confirmed every new ancestor character introduced after Edward was not an ancestor of Desmond. Due to how Rogue, Unity and Syndicate are set up we don’t know who Shay, Arno and the Frye’s present day descendants are
I really think people sleep on Edwards intelligence. While yes he makes quite a few mistakes throughout the story, leading to the deaths of many allies; he also -- with zero training mind -- was able to dupe both sides of the assassin templar conflict for an extended period of time. The ability to not only profit off of a conflict as complex and dangerous as that of the assassins, but to also constantly and voraciously place himself at the forefront of it; I believe it takes a large amount of foresight, ingenuity, and intellect to pull it off. In only 9 years, Edward went from being a poor privateer/pirate, to beating both the templars AND the assassins to the observatory -- and thus he is essentially able to play kingmaker. Not to mention he is also arguably the richest of all the assassins throughout history. He was the admiral of a trading fleet that conducted trade across 4 CONTINENTS. He was akin to the East India Trading Co. in terms of influence. Add on the power of the observatory (which he still had access to btw) and he had a tremendously terrifying amount of power at his disposal. In just 9 short years he went from being a nobody to the defacto King of the west indies, and one of the single most influential people on the planet.
MasterAssassin, you should make an Assassin’s Creed tier list video
I think its slightly unfair to say altar didn't get smarter after AC1. Yes he did attack Abbas guy out of anger. But he literally told him his son died being told that altar was the one who sent to kill him. I mean, you would almost have to be emotionless to not act on that one. But besides his arrogance at the beginning of AC1 and that little hiccup. IMO altar is legendary for a reason and survived as long as he did for a reason. Dude is just flat out smart. So imo I think its altiar. But I do like hoe you put evie up there as most wouldnt bc she isn't the most liked character like ezio is
I'd give it to Ezio. People underestimate how smart he is just because he's charming. He managed to run a Brotherhood that controlled all of Europe. He defeated the Borgia while also being aware of everything happening in the spanish and british court, in Moscow... Did you ever read those missions he sent recruits on? He was a strategic and financial genius
DISCLAIMER: Shay was an Assassin to begin the game with. however, early into the game, he switches over with the Templars and did more with them. However, people seem to forget that he WAS an Assassin, hence why the game is called Assassin's Creed Rogue. He went rogue after realizing that the Colonial Brotherhood was rather fucked up
The guy is just salty that a rogue assassin destroyed a brotherhood lol.
@@godzillazfriction that's LITERALLY what the game is lol. One of my favorites, mind you
@@jakethefox9439 ye ik what are you trying to say
Evie was a great choice for smartest Assassin, I think AC Syndicate is a severely underrated game! I loved that game! Jacob and Evie Frye were great because of how believable it was that they are siblings cause of the way they talk to each other and fight with each other over their differences, they had a great story between the 2 of them and I also really loved Crawford Starrick and Lucy Thorne as the Templar villains and 1868 London was a fantastic setting for an AC game! My only complaint really was the combat system it just felt really off the way it was set up, not saying its a horrible combat system its just not the best one, I rate AC Syndicate a 9/10 overall great game!
I'd say to Altair and because of the apple giving him knowledge
Honestly I wish Syndicate was just about Evie. It's frustrating playing as Jacob knowing he's making some obviously dumb mistakes.
Altair was the first person I thought of before I even clicked on the thumbnail....Bro was the Leonardo da Vinci of his time
Wasn't Shay a *former* assassin though? Not that I think he's the smartest but I think you could include him in a list like this.
Personally I think ezio as he was able to build up an entire brotherhood of assassins and was able to access altair vault after it hasn't been open since 1200 century, I'm glad to see that ezio isn't topping all these lists and that there is some variety
Connor’s ending is just “I’ve won, but at what cost”
I 100% agree with you. We can like or dislike AC syndicate however we can’t deny Evy Fry is the smartest in the room. I mean it’s one of her main traits.
Bayek was pretty smart one, in his adventure around Egypt most of the time he knew about Egypt's history and how to read ancient writing that probably millennia away from his time not to mention his investigation skill.... And pretty much being a founding father of Hidden One sum up his solution to a bigger problem in his time and in the far far future, i mean almost all the time Bayek can solves his problem (aside from fighting obv) almost instantly after brief observation and that combined with his knowledge talk a lot about his brain capacity.....
id give it to evie as well since that also is the most modern era for an ac game which also means that evie would have a lot of knowledge on history and other things
Altair had the apple of Eiden for years and years learning from it so yeah.
Edward kenway is basically assassins creed version of jack sparrow 😂 smart and drunk
I agree with Evie as the smartest.. but all of them are smart
its definately Altair
He had learned to think for himself, discovered truths of Templars and the Creed, controlled his ego over time, and used the Pieces of Eden for knowledge rather than power. Later in Assassin's Creed Revelations, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's chose to study such technology while protecting it from people that may misuse it. His experience with Isu technology through the Pieces of Eden gives him a higher level of intelligence than other Assassins, who didn't particularly often dabble with Isu artifacts.
Also, Evie is gifted, Ezio is genius and Altair is extraordiary genius
i would say the one who was really smart was conor , sure altair is the goat , but altair never considered understanding the templars views unlike conor
AC1 was like Bad vs Good. But AC3 was like a battle between two different groups with different point of view.
dude connor didn’t think, he just killed. He not smart
@@adi14293 wrong
Ezio talking to Desmond in revelation's ending, a 15th century man to someone in the future with sheer instinct and hunch makes me think he is the Smartest of all, i mean how can you even fathom someone in the future is looking at you and then goes on to address it without even a response.
I think that Ezio is the smartest assassin. He knew when and where his target would be and planned for it perfectly. He also trained a lot of assassins by himself.
If that is your point he's nowhere near Altair in those categories.... no-one except Altair himself knew about his presence in the enemy's hideout
@@dadwithmilk3740 why is there an Ezio hate bro...no kne hates Altair...he just saying fax..ezio was clever in planning shit. He's literally the Batman!!
@@aradhyasakpal8083 nah my point still stands.. Ezio got caught multiple times but Altair didn't.. not even once
I'd have to disagree.
I think Ezio is by far the smartest and certainly the most wise assassin. His meticulous planning of missions and his reconstruction of the Order is no small feat and nothing to cast aside. I believe he is by far the smartest, and certainly the wisest of the bunch.
"I have lived my life as best I could, not knowing its purpose, but drawn forward like a moth to a distant moon. And here at last, I discover a strange truth. That I am only a conduit, for a message that eludes my understanding."
~Ezio Auditore
There’s a ww1 sequence of events where evi helps Winston Churchill protect London from spies and other dangers
Not to mention in the gear trailer for AC Syndicate Evie's confirmed rank among the assassins is Master.
I would like to add that ezio main source of income through ac2 Was 'investment banking'
I LOVE YOUR CLIPS OH MY GOD
Ezio was given Mentor not by anyone… but Machiavelli…
It’s between him and Evie. A case can be made for Edward, but I think it’s a tough sell
Evie definitely in the Top 3 but Altaïr's knowledge and Wisdom benefited not only himself but the entire Order and it's History.
Evie was a great researcher, fighter, Assassin e.t.c but Altaïr accomplished all of that on a much higher level with more intense Hostility Centuries before.
Don't forget Evie in the Jack the ripper DLC was very smart.
You need to make an entire video about adewale just because he’s awesome
I do disagree with the result. I don’t find Evie to be the smartest. I think it kind of disregards the array of intelligence to put Evie at top. I think she lacks a degree of emotional intelligence when handling her brother and how she brings up their father seems to not really understand Jacob’s emotional standpoint and she is like Edward’s fixated pirate beliefs but as an Assassin where she’s so stuck on the Assassin ways that she seems to lack certain ability in compromising her thoughts. Where Jacob’s gang was actually a pretty good idea in certain ways but seemed to take her a bit of time to actually realize it. Because the gangs actually are what allow them to hold burrows from the Templars control because not only do Templars control upper systems they control the streets and multiple levels that conquering burrows and creating recruits actually allowed them an even steadier Assassin Control at a wider scale than Assassins normally did by sending a few out like Connor or Ezio did where control percentage did very they had a set group of people not in line exactly with Assassin Ideals but lead by Assassins similar to how having naval fleets and recruiting is a good idea for gaining resources like Edward and having better control over sea ways. That I think Evie and Jacob have very different forms of intelligence. Evie like you said much better planner and studious but Jacob’s is much more on fly thinking helps him. Where he may not get a grand scheme of things like Evie but he stops horrors before they happen in intelligent at getting around situations for himself to get to targets where Evie goes more for planning can actually allow more people to die where that doctor was killing people and Jacob is good at thinking and stopping small tragedies where Evie can be a little too slow to allow them to happen but is good at solving grander schemes where I think if they were combined they’d be a perfect Assassin. But they’re both also a bit more stubborn in their approach. But even Jacob shows a lot of quick thinking that I think goes underrated within main game like I mentioned but even in Ripper DLC was able to think enough about the situation to allow Evie to form her own way to victory where the best is when they can work together. Ezio I think is all around really intelligent. Edward’s I think his intelligence shines in a similar way to Jacob’s with his on the fly ability to think and strategize but it’s intelligence seems to be a bit more able to adapt and grows in a way more than the Frye Twins where he’s not as intelligent as Evie in her speciality wise of intelligence but Edward shows greater adaptability in how he thinks through situations with enough planning ability as well to surpass both. I think Edward isn’t the most skilled at all physically compared to other Assassins but where I think he really shines is his on the fly thinking of how to get through situations. Connor I think is in a similar boat but not to the same extent as his grandfather not as emotionally intelligent but both kind of struggle with that but Connor struggles more. He can formulate plans pretty quickly though for pretty significant scenarios and good at placing peoples for battles but like the Frye Twins stubbornness he seems to take some things but still has trouble growing. Where Altaïr and Ezio probably shine the most in their ability to grow. Altaïr may also struggle a little more in emotional intelligence though then Ezio even though what he actually knows is probably far greater with his study of the Apple his knowledge is probably the greatest but Ezio seems to have a wider array of different intelligence. Arno I think is a good on the Fly thinker, his ability to except knew information is on a similar level that he is willing to take in knowledge from Templars and Assassins where I think he has a lot of potential to learn but also takes things to the point of being a little naive and even larger able to be tricked potentially from it but we’ve seen that happen to both Ezio and Altaïr and they all seem to just grow more from it. Arno also seems to be a great strategizing and has shown to be extremely observant to be slight beyond Ezio even with how he handles solving mysteries being a huge part of his game and the clues to get his own outfit requiring extensive knowledge of his surroundings might make him the most all around intelligent, yet again he lacks emotional intelligence. I probably would put Bayek and Ezio the highest when it comes to emotion intelligence specifically with Bayek a clearer lead in that category potentially. Bayek also hold with clues and has a huge array of knowledge about his lands, able to pick things up pretty quickly. Probably put Bayek, Ezio and Arno at the top for widest arrays of intelligence even though certain other Assassins I think are smarter in certain more specific categories where I think it’s hard to say what you value more is their specific array they shine in or that they shine in more arrays than another and some like Arno and Ezio seem to be the smartest in certain arreas. Even Connor’s knowledge of his areas and knowledge of tracking pretty high. Where I think saying who’s the smartest is a little more complicated than this where I think there’s different ways to look at it. Top for me probably Arno is really smart like yeah he could’ve been kicked out of the order but he only joined the order for his own personal goals anyway where that doesn’t degrade his intelligence too much besides him being able to read the situation does seem to show a lack of broader intelligence. Evie does shine more than just about any other in her broad view of things and how to patch a situation since most Assassin’s like Jacob just kill whenever they have a clear opportunity and can’t always set up someone knew to take their place like Altaïr killed head of medical same as Jacob and all Assassins, I mean look what Edward did killing a Governor. Where I think people can be a little too insulting compared to Jacob because he and Evie and Henry were the only Assassins there where the Assassins doing the killing it’s not like we see Altaïr running to get nurses or people with medical experience maybe another Assassin does but we don’t call Altaïr stupid. Like Evie is specifically there to look at broader things where we don’t have another outlook as much to call someone like Altaïr stupid for not setting up a whole new system to help the ill. He’s their to solve the apparent problem that’s their like Jacob is stopping the tragedies in his situation when their happpening. Like also think about the situation more broadly in Syndicated you think how weak the power structure is if Jacob killed that one Doctor there what if these people had random attacks how weak are the systems he had to deal with if they would’ve randomly died instead to just cause these horrific events that no one in power could adjust to where it took Evie to fix. Like in a typical Assassin’s Creed game we wouldn’t need another Assassin to fix how incompetent these systems are that one person dies and it destroys a bank or destroys a hospital. Like we never needed an Evie before because typically if one person died you’d be on a job search to hire another qualified person in that field to fix a mess or promote someone already familiar with the situation that works there with the qualifications necessary. That I think it’s a bit ridiculous standards put on Jacob that isn’t put on anyone else because no one else has a character like Evie where that’s specifically their purpose in that big of a way as another main character does to influence a story.
I fully agree with Evie. Ezio is very close he is definitely my favorite assassin
If you think about it, shay was always the smartest Assassin, despite how he joined the Templars, he was stil an Assassin at heart, serving a needec cause and going beyond the limits of the creed to prevent the destruction of the world. In a sense, Shay lead the assasins back onto the right path and chose to do what was best for the creed and the world, while sacrificing himself.
We can hence say that Shay was always a true and one of the smartest Assassins,
But nearly the entire game and his life is him as a Templar. He had more time as a Templar than assassin in the game and after.
etzio, bayek, edward and evie are very smarts
Altair studied the apple of eden and created weapons that are a few decades ahead of him
I think conner cause he can track animals when hunt and targets and hes the only assassin who can take out more then one guy with conter attacks
it's never fair to make a list like this because often times people are judged on what they learned growing up without taking into consideration their background and education.
sure Connor may not have had the typical schooling like most people at that era did which made him naive but goodhearted, but he did accomplish a lot for a single person. he did as best as he could knowing what he knew about people, which wasn't a lot, and by the end learned a hard truth about humanity as a whole. i hope we get to play as him some day again because i wanna see him grow as much as Ezio did.
another example is Altair. he started arrogant and selfish, but following his growth during Ezio trilogy he turned into someone that was able to grow the Assassin order into what it ended up being and kept the Apple of Eden well hidden and out of Templar hands for so many years. we also got glimpses into his life and thoughts and the knowledge he acquired growing older.
my point is just because someone lives in the woods, is less than social and is driven by emotions (whether positive or negative) doesn't make that person less intelligent than they would be if given the proper learning tools, and it's not fair to judge them on lack thereof.
i think the list should rather be about Assassins that made decisions that were intentionally on their part reckless and went against the Assassin order. frankly the top of that list would clearly be Arno (even my baby boy Edward would fit nicely on that list), but i have yet to play Syndicate so who knows.
I think evie is the smartest
But i think altair knows the most about everything
I was about to be mad if you didnt say evie haha. Great vid
