A large contributor to the game's replayability is how open-ended builds are. We already have 15 powerful builds in this guide, yet they were somewhat hard to replicate for newcomers due to Skyrim's lack of classes. To remedy this, we've updated the guide with more in-depth breakdowns of each class.
It should be much easier to replicate a certain build. Skyrim introduced the ability to dual wield items, allowing players to equip two swords simultaneously or use two different spells at once.
Dual wielding swords is one of the coolest things you can do in Skyrim, and it makes for a very powerful build as well. Scale your one-handed damage through the respective skill tree. From there, use the Elemental Fury shout to slash through opponents twice as fast. Redguards and Orcs have racial bonuses that make this playstyle even stronger.
Rapidly striking enemies with two swords never gets old. The paladin is a classic archetype from any RPG game and is easy to replicate in Skyrim. Utilizing Restoration and blade, paladins smite the unholy with a melee-spellcasting hybrid playstyle. Focus on Heavy Armor, One-Handed, and Restoration skills , which will make for a character who can sustain a lot of damage in a fight while also keeping themselves and any allies up. It's also a fantastic build for players that love roleplaying.
If you want to take this build to its limit, check out our Skyrim paladin in-depth build guide. Dual-wielding is an underappreciated build in Skyrim, mostly because it takes away some of the flexibility seen in other builds that incorporate shields or one-handed spells. However, it's a really unique game mechanic and makes for some interesting builds, including the dual dagger assassin build.
Orcs are a great race to try this dual dagger build with due to their special ability called Berserker Rage, which allows them to deal twice as much damage for one minute while taking only half of all incoming damage. It's a high damage, up close and personal kind of build, utilizing Light Armor and Sneak to get the drop on your foes.
If combat gets too much to handle, use some Illusion spells to manipulate enemy AI. The spellsword is a more standard version of the Paladin build, focusing more on flexibility. The spellsword is one of the most versatile and customizable builds because of how many schools of magic and weapon types you can weave together. In essence, Spellswords rely on the One-Handed skill and a few spells of choice from multiple schools of magic.
Destruction magic is one of the best ones to go for early on in the game, especially Flames. More defensive variants can be created as well, utilizing Wards and Alteration magic to mitigate incoming damage. If you love using spells and swords, this is the build for you. For a more in-depth look at Spellswords, check out our Skyrim spellsword build guide.
Players looking to really challenge themselves should absolutely go for a pure mage build. This build has a serious learning curve, requiring extensive knowledge on how bonuses and enchants work. If you want to make a magic-using Argonian, it should prove more than sufficiently powerful enough to get through the game without major issue. Here's a list of Skyrim's races and a very quick rundown of the bonuses they enjoy. The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages has a percentage breakdown of each bonus.
While you shouldn't let your character's race dictate a single, set path for their development, each race's innate bonuses do make them well-suited for certain character builds. For instance:. Nords, Imperials, Orcs, and Redguard are strong races that enjoy bonuses to smithing and sword-wielding. They make good warrior builds, and will do well if you continue to nurture related skills.
Count on blades, hammers, maces, and shields. You can't wield shields if you're holding a two-handed weapon, so you may want to save two-handed combat for races really suited for it, e. These guidelines are just that, guidelines we hope you take them and alter them to your play style and share your builds with us. In fact, the best part of The Elder Scrolls series is playing the way you want to play.
