What is your favourite unique weapon? *FAQs* 👇 Q: Isn't the Bow of Shadows the best bow in Skyrim, why wasn't it mentioned? 🧙♂: Yes, it has the fastest draw speed of any bow, can be upgraded and makes you invisible. It wasn't mentioned in this video as I restricted it to vanilla weapons only. Q: Why didn't you include weapons from the anniversary edition? 🧙♂: Not everyone has the Anniversary Edition and I wanted to be inclusive for y'all :) Q: How is the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls the most overpowered unique battleaxe? 🧙♂: It's the only unique battleaxe that comes with an enchantment that can be upgraded. In other words, it's the best of a bad bunch and you can disenchant it for use on your own weapons if you wish.
@@El_Dee Thats why I much prefer the ebony blade if im going 2 handed. Never needs to be refilled just like the bloodskal, but it also absorbs health which IMO is the best melee enchantment, it swings as fast as a one handed sword similar to the longhammer, and can have its enchantment upgraded
The real strength of the Battleaxe of Fiery Souls is that it's one of the few unique weapons who's enchantments you can actually learn. This not only means that you can put it on any other weapon you craft, but with the double enchantments perk you can also couple it with another potent effect like Paralyzing to stun, burn, and soul trap your enemies all at once with a single weapon. Honestly, the enchantment and smithing skills are so good that none of the unique weapons in the game can really keep up. I at least appreciate that some have unique enchantments that can't be crafted, so they can be fun to play around with, but they're still usually outclassed by crafted weapons.
@@mikeynth7919 I actually have a "fiery soul trap" enchantment so I use that as one, and paralysis as the other enchantment on my dual-enchanted weapons. Pretty lethal.
I did not even know the steel battleaxe was special until one playthrough during wihch I frustratingly googled info on how to get back this sexy enchantment and the answer was to get this one unique weak sauce axe
I believe Zephyr and Auriels bow have the same draw speed. Since Auriels bow has 1 more point of base damage, Auriels bow is better even when the enchantment isn’t charged.
Not to mention that the bow of shadows is also faster than zephyr and have the invisibility thing (also, according to the wiki the bound bow is the fastest bow out there)
@lamerlin1950 the bow of shadows doesn't benefit from any smithing perks though. Zephyr and Auriel's Bow do, which means they can be upgraded way past the potential damage of bos.
Another thing about the shrine to dagon is that when you get the razor every 4 in game days you can farm daedric hearts, about 4 of them each farm. Remember to go in the shrine itself for the other two hearts.
while waiting for a true miracle build from another old man....i enjoy watching another old man, though one that dabble in the arcane, enlighten us all with the knowledge from a foreign cold land
I prefer running Chillrend and a Stallrim sword with the Chaos + Lifesteal enchantments as my dual wield. The chaos enchantment boosts the potency of the Absorb Health, and gets buffs both with the Destruction perks.
try duel wielding furry blows swords with crit. Its ridiculous how much dmg it did. It did so much dmg i accidently one shotted alduin without knowing. I thought the game was bugged and i was on novice at one point. All i did was standard smithing Dragonbone weapon with like full sword tree at level 95 for one handed weapon, alchemy potion that increases my one handed dmg by 100%, 2 ring that increase one handed by 45%, a boots that increase it by 40 and a gaunlet by 40, standard build i think
Champion's Cudgel has got to be here. The chaos enchantment is the best for combat as it has a chance to deal lightning, fire and ice magic all at the same time. I disenchanted it and put the enchantment on a stahlrim sword as stahlrim makes the enchantment stronger.
i wasn't sure how the chaos enchantment works over regular source of dmg so i never took it over fire dmg(as it has the highest base dmg and can increase it the most). So what you are saying that the 50% chance for 3 element can proc at once ?
@@tranducquang5912 Yeah all three can activate at the same time. Meaning its possible to deal fire, ice and lightning damage in addition to the physical damage of the attack. Its the best offensive enchantment
I’ve found that the strongest one handed weapons to dual wield in the game is mehrunes dagger in the left hand and the wind shear in the right. Wind shear will constantly stun nearly every enemy and the dagger will sometimes instantly kill. This combo is especially effective against very healthy enemy’s such as dragons in legendary.
The Razor is my favorite weapon in the game. I like to stalk around using daggers with stealth. The Razor just feels so appropriate to use with that kind of playstyle
I once used the razor in the final Alduin fight. Shaved his Molag Balls right clean I did. Same thing happened with Harkon on that playthrough, I was absolutely FLOORED when I hit him ONCE and his death animation played.
Wizard… man I’m loving bing watching you… I’ve been dealing with allergies and food poisoning the past 3 days and have been bed ridden since then. I’ve so far watched all your videos a few times over, thanks for creating such soothing content.
I honestly have to disagree Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls as good. Especially when you can disenchant it and put it on any other weapon with a better base damage output. What's more, both the fire damage and soul trap are on the same enchantment, so no need to use the "Extra Effect" perk in Enchanting.
Since I’ve recently gotten back into Skyrim after a 4 year absence, a lot has changed. This wizard has helped me quite a bit. First it’s a hunt for the Dragon Priest masks, and now I have to hunt some of these down.
Other great weapons included in the Anniversary edition: -Staff of Hasedoki: really fun and powerful, throws enemies around like fus roh da but in a narrower projectile. Also casts soul trap onto target; -Kremv’s tooth: highest base damage dagger with a 20 damage lightning echant; -Chrysamere: the Paladin’s blade and a classic since Morrowind at least. A greatsword (2H) with more defensive enchants which gives fire resistance, magicka absorption and passive health when equipped. It looks gorgeous too; -Duskfang/Dawnfang: also a returning weapon (You could get it in Shivering Isles if memory serves), this one switches enchants depending on if you wield it during the day or at night. Killing enemies with it also boosts the effect, and it uses no charges! -Bow of Shadows: hardest-hitting and one of the fastest bows, also casts invisibility when wielded. Not CC or anniversary edition but really good nonethelesss: -Staff of Jyril Gauldurson: especially OP at lower levels, it fires extremely quickly and is just powerfully all around. You get it during the Colleges questline. Make sure you get it before anyone else does as its sitting there on a table.
I would also put on this list: Umbra. An alternative to Chrysamere and the Bloodskal Blade, Umbra is a deadly greatsword with an even deadlier enchantment: 20 points of health and stamina absorption to keep you in the fight longer while debilitating your enemies, and a 20 second soul trap. This thing will easily refill itself. Just make sure you do, as its soul battery depletes very quickly.
14:02 personally, I believe the ebony blade is a better choice as its ability is to grow in strength from killing those who closely trust you. Imagine after gaining the favour of hundreds of those within Skyrim only to be the catalyst to your dominion
Nah, that weapon is an absolute joke. At max killing it still does crap health absorb and still is slow as heck to use. You better of making an enchanted steel greatsword instead. They should've at least make it swing faster and lighter at max killing.
I always have a harem with me, i just give them the deadra stuff. Serena carrying the necro amulet and dawnbreaker is one of the nastiest combos in the game.
I usually give the Sanguine Rose to my follower and a Staff of Storm/Flame Atronach to my Dead Thralls. Field a small army with me, my follower, my Riekling, two Dead Thralls, a Dremora and two Atronachs.
The Mace of Molag Bal is my personal favorite, powerful, rechargeable weapon unlike most that needs to change. With this, get few gems Stones and/or the star and BOOM, A powerful weapon that basically free
Well, now I have a few places to explore. My collection grows. Thanks for the weapon and armour highlights. Now I can relax in my home, admiring my collection of legendary and exotic weapons. Maybe one of the new weapons added through the anniversary? I need to expand my collection of weapons and armour. Always something new to add.
This should be a "Skyrim's Most Ovepowered UNIQUE Weapons" As if it was really the most "overpowered" it all would've been just Stalhrim or Dragonbone weapons.
@@bdubbink655 not on Legendary difficulty, and if you got maxed out smithing, double dragonbone sword\mace with elemental fury = more DPS than any enchant out there, it ends up doing more damage, and it's easier to stunlock everything
I think the best part of the Fiery Souls enchantment is that when applying it to another weapon, the scaling isn't for the fire damage but the Soul Trap duration. By minimizing that, you have an almost infinite charge Soul Trap weapon.
Usually if I need to hit something, I just use magic since I am Spellsword usually, never got why you would mess with bows when dual handed lighting is a thing.
@@Subject_Keter An enchanted bow (even without smithing) can do more damage than dual handed lightning. On top of that the bow can be used whithout being noticed without the need of getting a certain perk. On legendary spells feel rather weak.
here's my pick Dagger: fang of haynekhtnamet Mace: Mace of Molag Bal Staff: Wabbajack Sword: Hopesfire War Axe: Cleaver Of St. Felms. Battle Axe: Tsun's Judgement Great Sword: Umbra War Hammer: Nerveshatter Bow: Dwarven Black Bow of faith / Bow of Shadows
I know that voice. The Dremora Lords sound like they're voiced by the same actor who did Fawkes in FO3. I mean, it may not be, but that's who it sounds like to me.
For swords, I'll keep to Dragonbane. It's probably the only weapon in the game that specifically does more damage to dragons, and it lets me have my Samurai weeb moments along with my Viking rage moments. Anyways, gonna get a spells video to add onto this? I figured since you're a wizard and all, y'know.
I wish I could play Skyrim for the first time again. Dragonborn is one the BEST dlcs ever made, specially if you're into Lovecraft. Cosmic horror as its finest. Great video!
Bound Bow is the best bow. - Weight: 0 - Highest base damage (with the perk) - Highest dps - Shoots daedric arrows and the supply is infinite - Quality of the bow with Mystic Binding is the same as Daedric Bow (Exquisite), so it will carry you pretty much the entire game. I stopped my last character around lvl 60 and I still used it as my primary weapon. - You can use it in situations where your weapons are taken away like eg. in jail - It can also capture souls with the right perk but doesn't need recharging Only downside is the cost of summoning it. Depending on your race, it can take anywhere between ~180-190 magicka to cast so you need to invest in magicka to use it.
unless they fixed it in later versions the mace of Molag Bal has a broken script for recharging the enchantment meaning that you can keep recharging it even if the charge is full which lets you train up enchanting by just continually recharging it as for fiery souls you're better off just disenchanting it, it will allow you to have an even stronger version of the enchantment on ANY kind of weapon aside from a staff cool thing about zephyr is that it's innate draw speed stacks with the quickdraw perk making it even faster
When it comes to archery my favorite is the final dwarves crossbow with explosive bolts. With full smithing it is an almost guaranteed one hit kill as a stealth archer
I learned a valuable lesson on my last playthrough. Carry many weapons or you'll end up dead from a Draugr death lord who can disarm you multiple times. He disarmed me 3 times and i almost lost the bow of shadows because of it.
@@User18dog if you have a follower that will use a staff, like serana, she will pull the rose out and summon her own dremora, then you can add your own two
I think that the Champion’s Cudgel is the best war hammer, it has the chaos enchantment which is a 50% chance to activate ice, fire, and/or shock for 25dmg upon each strike
Mehrunes' Razor: Thanks to my enchantment I can defeat every opponent in a single hit. That random iron dagger after the restoration loop: Look what you need to mimic a fraction of my power!
I love the mace of what his face and the stunning sword. I hope next game has a system like Spellsword mod, where you can enchant a sword to lighting strike a target you hit. Then have unique stuff like a grand cut out for the dual wield pirate blades or the mace suckingthe life out the target to weaken them.
I would say the shadow bow from anniversary edition is better. It makes ylu invisibke whenver you draw it has the bae power of a deadric bow and, oh, its faster than Zephyr
The greatest weapon is whatever you smith on your own. Max your Alchemy, Enchantment and Smithing, get the book of Hermaus Mora, Oghma Infinium (it is essential to go back and forth base on whatever you're doing, if doing alchemy, get the path for that. Path of shadow for alchemy, path of Magic for Enchant, and Path of Mighty for Smithing). Aether crown is optional but it saves you the hassle of going back and forth to go to standing stones to change abilities (do assassin and mage stone as you do alchemy and enchanting , the first phase, and mage and warrior for enchanting, smithing, the second phase) and if you can equip notched pickaxe and 4 sets of ahzidal for +10 to armor and enchant, do so. Your enchantment is also affected base on the skill trees too. If you enchant elemental attacks, you need to up your destruction for better results so just a reminder. Do Alchemy that makes your enchantment potent. Then accessories that will enhance your alchemy. Repeat until you Reach the 33% enchantment to everything you can enchant. That makes your potion of enchantment reach their max threshold. Now make a potion for enchantment that enchant smithing. If you have champions cudgel enchantment, use that enchantment as it is the best enchantment of all. Since you have max enchantment, you have the double effect and it is up to you to get absorb health, magicka or stamina as second option. I suggest fiery soul trap though. You'll be seeing result as high as 900-1000+ physical damage, 900-1000+ for element damage, and since it is a champions cudgel, a chance to proc 3 elements at once, that leaves you with 2700-3000+ damage, and fiery soul fire trap with 900-1000+ damage. All in all, you have 3000-5000+ damage chance on every hit. Problem with this is fight with the three bosses (Paarthurnax, Miraak, Harkon), glitched out. You might need to rerun a save until glitch gets resolved or have someone fight for you and just sit your cute little asset as they take them down for you 😂. They can't laso kill you if you have a beast of an armor so no need to worry bout that. Just be careful with ebony as those enchantments you put can also definitely kill you back. I suggest when killing him, use cudgel effect with absorb health and ready your healing spell or pots in shorcut keys when fighting him. That is all.
Because I'm 99% sure this won't be brought up, the Pale Blade is a fantastic underrated weapon. It has two enchants at base without needing tradeskills, and it has a special quirk. If you get it at it's max level (only 27+), it actually does double stamina damage at 50 points, more than anything you could make without a full alchemy-set-boosted enchanting potion buff. Why does this matter? Because you can manipulate enemies who normally power attack into being just useless half the time, but also because you can ground dragons after just a few strikes. Makes a melee-only build shine in a lot of fights.
I would like to make the Argument for the Bound Sword being pretty OP. High Elves, Bretons, and Nords can get the Mystic Binding Perk stupidly early (for bretons you literally only need 2 perks), meaning it's possible to have a sword with 0 weight, a pretty high swing speed, and the same base damage as a Daedric sword, AT LEVEL 3! And because it's a Novice spell (and we need the novice perk to get Mystic Binding) it only costs 39 magicka to cast. And for an added bonus, at 30 Conjuration (which you'll likely end up with just from using the Bound Sword and summoning it in combat) you can get Soul Stealer which adds Soul Trap to all Bound weapons (except the Bound Quiver from Anniversary Edition), and at 50 Conjuration you can get the Oblivion Binding Perk, making it so that any summoned or raised beings up to level 99. And Remember, speaking strictly in terms of damage this only needs 2 perks, but if you invest all 4 you then have a mighty weapon in hand that can't be disarmed by shouts. At that point it almost doesn't matter that you can't improve it at a grindstone (but that's what Enchanting is for!)
I still enjoy dawnbreaker. Yes, Meridia is loud. But the weapon is pretty neat and useful. Another, not really unique, but rare, is using dragonpriest daggers. They look fun and are more scares than even daedrive weapons.
What I like to do with a bow is to put on the enchantment of soul trap or fiery souls and use soul stealer arrows (creation club or modded arrows). This makes it so that you can get 2 souls for 1 kill (if you have large enough empty soul gems for the soul trap portion of it at least).
The most overpowered bow: Pretty much any bow in Skyrim VR. :) Not a whole lot of enemies stand a chance when you can draw your bow almost instantly. Pair it with the perk that staggers enemies hit by an arrow and you can pump nearly anything full of arrows before it has a chance to bother you.

*FAQs* 👇
Q: Isn't the Bow of Shadows the best bow in Skyrim, why wasn't it mentioned?
🧙♂: Yes, it has the fastest draw speed of any bow, can be upgraded and makes you invisible. It wasn't mentioned in this video as I restricted it to vanilla weapons only.
Q: Why didn't you include weapons from the anniversary edition?
🧙♂: Not everyone has the Anniversary Edition and I wanted to be inclusive for y'all :)
Q: How is the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls the most overpowered unique battleaxe?
🧙♂: It's the only unique battleaxe that comes with an enchantment that can be upgraded. In other words, it's the best of a bad bunch and you can disenchant it for use on your own weapons if you wish.
Paralysis staff kek
Illusion spells, paralysis, and fists to be more specific
can't beat the Ebony Blade with 200% swing speed
the amber hammer
Dawnbreaker is just too pretty to not call my favorite
Dawnbreaker 100%. Literally one of the most powerful weapons in the game. Plus it's nice roleplaying as a paladin xD
Honestly, you're better off disenchanting the Fiery Souls Battleaxe and applying the effect to a dragon bone or daedric weapon.
Or (if you want warhammer) Longhammer will probably be best
I’m glad that it’s basically just a steel war axe because I don’t feel bad disenchanting it
Can you get multiple of those axes?
Longhammer with Fiery Souls + Chaos is a favourite combo of mine
He's going off of Unique weapons.... And Bethesda REALLY effed us in the a regarding options in Skyrim when it comes to Unique Battleaxes.

If you can disenchant something & only care for stats, do it.
The capstone of the Enchanting tree lets you apply 2 Enchantments.
And apply paralysis as one of the enchantments. Works on the undead and permits some epic beatdowns as you go around a circle of foes.
@@mikeynth7919 sure if you like beating on statues for the rest of your game. i kinda go with health absorb and chaos damage.
@@mikeynth7919 I actually have a "fiery soul trap" enchantment so I use that as one, and paralysis as the other enchantment on my dual-enchanted weapons. Pretty lethal.

Well, now I have a few places to explore. My collection grows. Thanks for the weapon and armour highlights. Now I can relax in my home, admiring my collection of legendary and exotic weapons. Maybe one of the new weapons added through the anniversary? I need to expand my collection of weapons and armour. Always something new to add.
This should be a "Skyrim's Most Ovepowered UNIQUE Weapons"
As if it was really the most "overpowered" it all would've been just Stalhrim or Dragonbone weapons.
Chaos + Frost enchant stalhrim war hammer = one shot absolutely everything ever
@@bdubbink655 not on Legendary difficulty, and if you got maxed out smithing, double dragonbone sword\mace with elemental fury = more DPS than any enchant out there, it ends up doing more damage, and it's easier to stunlock everything
@@Billy_Herrington1969if you do it perfectly it does, I one shot the whole game with it
Omg I've never heard anyone pronounce staves like that, that gave me a chuckle. Great video too wonder what the next will be
How have you heard it?
That's... How you're supposed to pronounce it
😂😂😂😂😂 the way welsh just folds in half swinging the bloodskall blade is hilarious
This might be my favorite Skyrim channel. 🧙🏼♂️
I think the best part of the Fiery Souls enchantment is that when applying it to another weapon, the scaling isn't for the fire damage but the Soul Trap duration. By minimizing that, you have an almost infinite charge Soul Trap weapon.
Hi I love your channel this video is good keep up the good work❤
I have never done an Archer build in Skyrim. I have very very rarely got my Sneak past 40.
Usually if I need to hit something, I just use magic since I am Spellsword usually, never got why you would mess with bows when dual handed lighting is a thing.
I always loved Assassin Archer. My sneak was always maxed and I'd just run around pretty much one hitting everything up close or far away ha
@@Subject_Keter An enchanted bow (even without smithing) can do more damage than dual handed lightning. On top of that the bow can be used whithout being noticed without the need of getting a certain perk. On legendary spells feel rather weak.
here's my pick
Dagger: fang of haynekhtnamet
Mace: Mace of Molag Bal
Staff: Wabbajack
Sword: Hopesfire
War Axe: Cleaver Of St. Felms.
Battle Axe: Tsun's Judgement
Great Sword: Umbra
War Hammer: Nerveshatter
Bow: Dwarven Black Bow of faith / Bow of Shadows
I know that voice. The Dremora Lords sound like they're voiced by the same actor who did Fawkes in FO3. I mean, it may not be, but that's who it sounds like to me.
For swords, I'll keep to Dragonbane. It's probably the only weapon in the game that specifically does more damage to dragons, and it lets me have my Samurai weeb moments along with my Viking rage moments.
Anyways, gonna get a spells video to add onto this? I figured since you're a wizard and all, y'know.
The wabbajack and Champions Chudgel are really good too. I’ve used the champions chudgels enchantment in almost every plalythrough
I gotta say, my personal favorite of the unique daggers is Keening, I’m a big fan of the high swing speed and stamina and health drain
I wish I could play Skyrim for the first time again. Dragonborn is one the BEST dlcs ever made, specially if you're into Lovecraft. Cosmic horror as its finest. Great video!
I prefer the Ebony Blade over the Bloodskal blade but to each their own 🥸
I never get tired of watching these videos I still play Skyrim elder scrolls. to this very Day.
Personally, my favourite is the Ebony Blade
Dragon Bone Plate, armour upgrades+this weapon? God tier.
Bound Bow is the best bow.
- Weight: 0
- Highest base damage (with the perk)
- Highest dps
- Shoots daedric arrows and the supply is infinite
- Quality of the bow with Mystic Binding is the same as Daedric Bow (Exquisite), so it will carry you pretty much the entire game. I stopped my last character around lvl 60 and I still used it as my primary weapon.
- You can use it in situations where your weapons are taken away like eg. in jail
- It can also capture souls with the right perk but doesn't need recharging
Only downside is the cost of summoning it. Depending on your race, it can take anywhere between ~180-190 magicka to cast so you need to invest in magicka to use it.
“Swift whisper of an arrow” is great
unless they fixed it in later versions the mace of Molag Bal has a broken script for recharging the enchantment meaning that you can keep recharging it even if the charge is full which lets you train up enchanting by just continually recharging it
as for fiery souls you're better off just disenchanting it, it will allow you to have an even stronger version of the enchantment on ANY kind of weapon aside from a staff
cool thing about zephyr is that it's innate draw speed stacks with the quickdraw perk making it even faster
Ah, Windshear my beloved
In all my years of skyrim im glad to say everytime i tries to play stealth archer i became a shield and sword knight of destruction
When it comes to archery my favorite is the final dwarves crossbow with explosive bolts. With full smithing it is an almost guaranteed one hit kill as a stealth archer
I learned a valuable lesson on my last playthrough. Carry many weapons or you'll end up dead from a Draugr death lord who can disarm you multiple times. He disarmed me 3 times and i almost lost the bow of shadows because of it.
My favorite thing to do with the sanguine rose is to give it to a follower, that way i can have three dremora
How does that work
@@User18dog if you have a follower that will use a staff, like serana, she will pull the rose out and summon her own dremora, then you can add your own two
@@griswoldgriswold8150 oh I gotcha, I have followers but they’re pets I didn’t know you could have people followers
I think that the Champion’s Cudgel is the best war hammer, it has the chaos enchantment which is a 50% chance to activate ice, fire, and/or shock for 25dmg upon each strike
Mehrunes' Razor: Thanks to my enchantment I can defeat every opponent in a single hit.
That random iron dagger after the restoration loop: Look what you need to mimic a fraction of my power!
*A HAIL THE WABAJAK!*
I’m playing an illusion thief, just illusion, pickpocket, and stealth. The Sanguine Rose is what I’m using to fight with.
Fiery souls with a twinsoul that actually applies meaningful damage is awesome
Windshear is the wabbajack of swords it's just stupid fun and I'm all for it
I love the mace of what his face and the stunning sword.
I hope next game has a system like Spellsword mod, where you can enchant a sword to lighting strike a target you hit.
Then have unique stuff like a grand cut out for the dual wield pirate blades or the mace suckingthe life out the target to weaken them.
For great swords, I like Umbra. 3 enchantments absorb health and stamina with a soul trap is hard to beat.
17:12 when the mage build sees an enemy rushing towards them
I would say the shadow bow from anniversary edition is better. It makes ylu invisibke whenver you draw it has the bae power of a deadric bow and, oh, its faster than Zephyr
Oh yeah, that's my go to Bow.. he didn't include Creation Club weapons though!
16:25
I was really hoping to hear the sound effect of the Hammer powerup in Super Smash Bros here. Would have been funny.
The greatest weapon is whatever you smith on your own. Max your Alchemy, Enchantment and Smithing, get the book of Hermaus Mora, Oghma Infinium (it is essential to go back and forth base on whatever you're doing, if doing alchemy, get the path for that. Path of shadow for alchemy, path of Magic for Enchant, and Path of Mighty for Smithing). Aether crown is optional but it saves you the hassle of going back and forth to go to standing stones to change abilities (do assassin and mage stone as you do alchemy and enchanting , the first phase, and mage and warrior for enchanting, smithing, the second phase) and if you can equip notched pickaxe and 4 sets of ahzidal for +10 to armor and enchant, do so.
Your enchantment is also affected base on the skill trees too. If you enchant elemental attacks, you need to up your destruction for better results so just a reminder.
Do Alchemy that makes your enchantment potent. Then accessories that will enhance your alchemy. Repeat until you Reach the 33% enchantment to everything you can enchant. That makes your potion of enchantment reach their max threshold. Now make a potion for enchantment that enchant smithing. If you have champions cudgel enchantment, use that enchantment as it is the best enchantment of all. Since you have max enchantment, you have the double effect and it is up to you to get absorb health, magicka or stamina as second option. I suggest fiery soul trap though.
You'll be seeing result as high as 900-1000+ physical damage, 900-1000+ for element damage, and since it is a champions cudgel, a chance to proc 3 elements at once, that leaves you with 2700-3000+ damage, and fiery soul fire trap with 900-1000+ damage. All in all, you have 3000-5000+ damage chance on every hit.
Problem with this is fight with the three bosses (Paarthurnax, Miraak, Harkon), glitched out. You might need to rerun a save until glitch gets resolved or have someone fight for you and just sit your cute little asset as they take them down for you 😂. They can't laso kill you if you have a beast of an armor so no need to worry bout that.
Just be careful with ebony as those enchantments you put can also definitely kill you back. I suggest when killing him, use cudgel effect with absorb health and ready your healing spell or pots in shorcut keys when fighting him.
That is all.
Because I'm 99% sure this won't be brought up, the Pale Blade is a fantastic underrated weapon. It has two enchants at base without needing tradeskills, and it has a special quirk. If you get it at it's max level (only 27+), it actually does double stamina damage at 50 points, more than anything you could make without a full alchemy-set-boosted enchanting potion buff. Why does this matter? Because you can manipulate enemies who normally power attack into being just useless half the time, but also because you can ground dragons after just a few strikes. Makes a melee-only build shine in a lot of fights.
I would like to make the Argument for the Bound Sword being pretty OP. High Elves, Bretons, and Nords can get the Mystic Binding Perk stupidly early (for bretons you literally only need 2 perks), meaning it's possible to have a sword with 0 weight, a pretty high swing speed, and the same base damage as a Daedric sword, AT LEVEL 3! And because it's a Novice spell (and we need the novice perk to get Mystic Binding) it only costs 39 magicka to cast. And for an added bonus, at 30 Conjuration (which you'll likely end up with just from using the Bound Sword and summoning it in combat) you can get Soul Stealer which adds Soul Trap to all Bound weapons (except the Bound Quiver from Anniversary Edition), and at 50 Conjuration you can get the Oblivion Binding Perk, making it so that any summoned or raised beings up to level 99. And Remember, speaking strictly in terms of damage this only needs 2 perks, but if you invest all 4 you then have a mighty weapon in hand that can't be disarmed by shouts. At that point it almost doesn't matter that you can't improve it at a grindstone (but that's what Enchanting is for!)
I still enjoy dawnbreaker. Yes, Meridia is loud. But the weapon is pretty neat and useful.
Another, not really unique, but rare, is using dragonpriest daggers. They look fun and are more scares than even daedrive weapons.
i love you the welsh wizard i love youuuuuuuuuuuu
What I like to do with a bow is to put on the enchantment of soul trap or fiery souls and use soul stealer arrows (creation club or modded arrows). This makes it so that you can get 2 souls for 1 kill (if you have large enough empty soul gems for the soul trap portion of it at least).
The most overpowered bow: Pretty much any bow in Skyrim VR. :) Not a whole lot of enemies stand a chance when you can draw your bow almost instantly. Pair it with the perk that staggers enemies hit by an arrow and you can pump nearly anything full of arrows before it has a chance to bother you.
The bow of shadows is much faster than zephyr and also does more damage
It is 🏹 but I didn’t include Creation Club weapons
I remember when I first found the Razor as a kid 13 years ago, I flipped the fuck out. I was like "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS CAN INSTAKILL, THAT'S INSANE"
crossbows not mentioned :( advanced dwemer crossbow with the chaos damage enchantment and exploding dwemer bolts is goated
Welsh you should make a video with ranking and reviewing your top 10 favorite Skyrim mods
Also welsh what mod adds the health bars above enemies heads?
That wizard outfit is litty
if you want a staff that is a "little" more chaotic the wabajack is quite a fun one to use ;)
Wabajack wabajack wabajack!
I use windshear and mehrunes dagger a lot. Makes the bigger healthpools easier without OP smithing
The Zephyr Bow shooting speed is op af with the Quick Shot perk that makes you draw your bow 30% faster so all together it's pretty fun.
I forgot to mention Quick Shot, it makes it super fast!
@theWelshWizard Eh, It happens to the best of us.
Miraaks staff is so underrated wish they had a similar spell to it
Elemental fury and windshear also pair verrrrt nicely
Wuuthrad is the best greataxe when paired with the elemental fury shout - especially against falmer and any other type of elf which is half the humanoid NPCs in the game
