Infiltrate Before You Fight

For Naoe, the publisher lists the tools explicitly: many parkour options including the new grappling hook, distractions with shuriken or smoke bombs, and assassinations with the Hidden Blade, all while using light and sound to evade detection.

Get above the problem first

Parkour and the grappling hook are described as the way in, which makes height the first resource rather than the last resort. A rooftop approach usually costs nothing and reveals the patrol pattern before you commit to a line of movement.

Control the light you stand in

Naoe is described as using light and shadow to avoid detection. That turns positioning into a continuous decision: not just where a guard is looking, but whether you are standing somewhere a guard could see you at all.

Make the noise you choose

Shuriken and smoke bombs are listed as distractors, which means the point is not to fight with them but to decide where a guard looks next. Spending one to move a patrol out of a corridor is usually cheaper than fighting the corridor.

Finish with the Hidden Blade

Assassination is the last item in the described sequence, and the reason the preceding steps exist. If the approach has been quiet, the Hidden Blade ends the encounter; if it has not, switch heroes and take the fight Yasuke is built for.
