Having the ability to not only block, but Parry red attacks as Yasuke is a game-changer for combat. This makes the Protector's Armor the best early-game armor for Yasuke. There is really no need to find another Legendary Chest Armor piece until much later in the game.

Yasuke is one of two playable characters in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. But unlike the other protagonist, Naoe — the stealthy shinobi who bears the iconic hidden blade — Yasuke is conspicuously absent during the first part of the game.
