Don't forget about the Bloodskal Blade. Not only does it have 81 base damage, but it also has an energy attack that turns it into a ranged weapon as well. Not to mention it's also the coolest looking sword in the game.
I'm glad you put the Pale Blade on here, it's been upgraded for some reason, it once only put the fear effect on enemies up to level 16, now it dose it to any enemies weaker then you.
Disenchanting the lunar weapons and having the duel enchantment perk is a great way to create an awesome bow for killing the Dead. Drain life and the lunar enchantment work really well together. It's worth noting that the lunar enchantment works anytime. Not just during full moons.
Pairing the Nightingale blade and Windshear is a pretty deadly combo. Put Windshear in your left hand(since it weighs less and dual wielding speed is depended on the weight of your left handed weapons), and put Nightingale blade in your right hand. Now just hit once with Windshear and then hit 2-3 shots of Nightingale blade. Now the Windshear will keep knocking enemies and Nightingale blade will keep absorbing health and stamina.
Crit in this game is based on base damage and base damage only. The crit on a 5 damage dagger will only ever add +5 damage on a crit. So if youre doing 30damage x15 and happen to crit on that youll do 450+5 on a crit.
I usually just add paralyze and soul render to a dragon sword if I want to paralyze someone. I think 🤔 I just picked that sword up today. I wish I had picked it up sooner. And I got the nightingale blade the day before.
My best sword I made myself it's a wooden sword I Smith the Daylights into it and Enchanted the Daylights out of it nothing can survive it these other swords just take up space in your inventory or in your chest at home sell them all make some gold instead of letting them sit around doing nothing
Nobody talks about the Eleven sword of fire, found it during a quest, I forget which one, but it’s a straight up beast almost 1 tapping every soldier enemy I come across, truly underrated how good it is, does more damage thrn the nightingale as well
Valdr’s lucky dagger doesn’t quite work like that. Critical hit damage doesn’t stack with perks or multipliers it will only ever do the standard damage of that weapon plus 3 for the critical hit. So you may as well just use the sky forge steel dagger for an extra 4 damage that is constant
Critical damage in Skyrim is really bad. Only your weapons base damage counts for this. Also it's not even a sword but a dagger. And It's not even the strongest dagger either. And what's the point of mentioning poison? you can put that on any blade. I can think of other swords which are more powerful than this dagger. For instance the Bloodskal Blade or Chillrend.
@@GamingExploits It really is not a matter of personal preference. Critical damage is just half the base damage of the weapon, added on top of the normal damage. So critical strikes with this dagger only deal an additional 2.5 damage per critical hit. Since the crit chance is only 1/4, the expected additional damage per hit averages 0.625 damage. In other words: Every dagger with a base damage of 6 is better.
Mehrunes razor I think should have made this list. One of the best things about it is not having to refill the enchantment. When it is upgraded, it is super deadly. If you like to dual wield, pair it with Valdrs Lucky Dagger. Then you will shred everything. No soul gems required
You can also charge the Ebony Blade by taking a follower to an isolated area and spam Ritual stone. Just gotta make sure you don't behead the follower to keep resurrecting them.
You forgot the umbra sword, it does 25 points of damage to health and stamina and it soul traps, plus is a 2 handed sword so it's damage is naturally good, you can get the sword from a cave near "last vigil", and be careful because the fight is hard if you are low level
It’s stupid Overpowered, but it uses busloads of soul charges. I think Chrysamere (not sure on spelling) is far more balanced, and it doesn’t use charges.
@@BobsWS61I play Umbra with gear where I don't have to pay Magika for destruction. Umbra and other weapons won't go empty and you need soulgems not anymore. Umbra is extemely good and without going empty.
I love Dawnfang/Duskfang and the other optional weapon, Bloodthirst is awesome it's vampiric, so it absorbs 15 points of health and has the fastest swing speed I've ever seen.
My top 10 swords of all time after 12 years of playing Skyrim are: 10. Dawnbreaker - Benefits from One-handed, Enchanting, Destruction, and Illusion skill trees which can get really powerful when taking advantage of the fire perks, soul absorbtion and aspect of fear perks. 9. Chillrend - benefits from the enchanting, destruction, and one-handed, and can paralyze opponents for a few seconds. 8. Ghostblade - can be improved by applying ectoplasm and it is the lightest sword in the game with only 1 carry weight and it’s ability can ignore any armor and add 3 more points of damage. You can make full use of it through the one-handed and sneak skill trees. 7. Keening - with Wraithguard from Skyrim AE, keening gains secret effects that adds more magical properties. it benefits from enchanting, sneak, and one-handed, it’s effects drains all three attributes and can only be recharged by master enchanters. 6. Dragonsbane - pretty well explained on video, it is the go to weapon against dragons. 5. Goldbrand - has the highest fire enchantment in the entire game and it stacks when it benefits from the Destruction, Illusion, and One-handed skill trees. 4. Mehrunes Razor - You can kill Alduin with this dagger. 3. Cryus’ Rapier Sword (Unenchanted), stronger than the Daedric Sword and it has the highest DPS in the game. It is even deadlier when combined with Elemental Fury. 2. Grand Champion’s Sword (unenchanted), on par with Dragonbone sword and it can be either enchanted or benefitted from Elemental Fury shout. 1. Madness Sword - The strongest sword in the entire game, can be enchanted or abused with elemental fury shout.
The thing about these vids is who leaves a weapon standard ? I always craft/ improve armour n weapons because it makes so much difference. Halfway through a play you can be on 700/ 800 armour and 250 plus hit rate all legit with not a single cheat. Smith with enchanted boosts ( rings potions etc of smithing) and then enchant the armour. Nothing like walking into a fight knowing you're well prepared.😊
Windshear dosent work on "most" enemys it works on ALL enemys it stun locks with every single strike every single enemy in the game including alduin it is the most op unstoppable weapon in the game. It never dosent stagger enemys with every strike. You dont need the listed effect of bashing with it. Its unlisted effect makes blocking a non factor cuz nothing can fight you back when your swinging it.....
I’m sorry but Ebony blade is so clear of every other sword mentioned, especially the lunar iron sword, like a regular fire sword is 1000x better because you can use it in the day
Miraak’s sword is one of the worst unique swords in the game, the high damage is only after level 60 which is way too late in the game for it to matter, also the lifesteal on the nightingale blade makes it do more damage anyway. Also the enchantment lasts like 5 hits and it sucks, it’s only good for constant power attacking which guess what, you can also do with the nightingale blade
i find the fact with how long this game has existed there's no name for different swords variants that you can get and them have to smith with the material you found it in like the shcmidter
Don't forget about the Bloodskal Blade. Not only does it have 81 base damage, but it also has an energy attack that turns it into a ranged weapon as well. Not to mention it's also the coolest looking sword in the game.
i got it but i could never get the energy attacks to work so i never got to complete the area which was annoying
@@oohwaayeahooowaaa6145 you have to use the joystick to angle the sword sideways while doing the laser attack so that you can unlock the door
“sideways power attack”
81 base damage?
@@oohwaayeahooowaaa6145how did you not look it up on UA-cam but you looked this up 😭
You forgot one very important one. "a new hand touches the beacon"
I'm glad you put the Pale Blade on here, it's been upgraded for some reason, it once only put the fear effect on enemies up to level 16, now it dose it to any enemies weaker then you.
About the Lunar weapon you can disenchant it an add the enchantment in a better weapon
Great tip mate!
Disenchanting the lunar weapons and having the duel enchantment perk is a great way to create an awesome bow for killing the Dead. Drain life and the lunar enchantment work really well together. It's worth noting that the lunar enchantment works anytime. Not just during full moons.
Wind shear is my favourite.....its so good to take on any enemy
Agreed! Such a great weapon
It makes things too easy. I still keep it just in case some dragon gets uppity
Pairing the Nightingale blade and Windshear is a pretty deadly combo. Put Windshear in your left hand(since it weighs less and dual wielding speed is depended on the weight of your left handed weapons), and put Nightingale blade in your right hand. Now just hit once with Windshear and then hit 2-3 shots of Nightingale blade. Now the Windshear will keep knocking enemies and Nightingale blade will keep absorbing health and stamina.
A sharp list indeed!
Amazing 😂
Critical hit only increase the base damage.
Best sword for me if enchanting is 100 is the Stalhrim sword with chaos skill! All 3 enchants are stronger on the ice blade.
i only wear nightingale armor and didnt know its one or the best!
Crit in this game is based on base damage and base damage only. The crit on a 5 damage dagger will only ever add +5 damage on a crit. So if youre doing 30damage x15 and happen to crit on that youll do 450+5 on a crit.
You didn’t mention Chillrend. The opportunity to paralyze enemies is enormous, plus it also does lots of frost damage.
I usually just add paralyze and soul render to a dragon sword if I want to paralyze someone. I think 🤔 I just picked that sword up today. I wish I had picked it up sooner. And I got the nightingale blade the day before.
The one in the middle of the 3 in the thumbnail isn't a sword, but a dagger. I feel like daggers shouldn't be considered in a sword list
Or just see it as a really short sword
It’s average
My best sword I made myself it's a wooden sword I Smith the Daylights into it and Enchanted the Daylights out of it nothing can survive it these other swords just take up space in your inventory or in your chest at home sell them all make some gold instead of letting them sit around doing nothing
Nobody talks about the Eleven sword of fire, found it during a quest, I forget which one, but it’s a straight up beast almost 1 tapping every soldier enemy I come across, truly underrated how good it is, does more damage thrn the nightingale as well
redo the video and put in chillrend
Neeeveeeer
Redo your comment
How is it a top 10 sword video and your first one is a dagger....
Wait until you see the last one, it’s a mop

Check out the best swords! 😃
First weapon on the list is a dagger... 😓
you messed up this was supposed to be swords a dagger is not a sword you needed to do a separate list for daggers
I noticed that too
You can also charge the Ebony Blade by taking a follower to an isolated area and spam Ritual stone. Just gotta make sure you don't behead the follower to keep resurrecting them.
Haha nice
You can also do it with a hobo
Evil is the person who kills their follower.

Critical hits are base of base damage only, no upgrades
Your list and my list aren’t quite the same lol…
Haha I guess it’s subjective right?
I’m interested to hear yours man
One handed upgrades on skill tree don't affect daggers
Miraak's sword makes me uncomfortable xD
Haha fully get that man, it’s wiggly af
@@GamingExploits I think its a adorable sword 😹 😉....Meow

I didn't even know it was a thing until today (first started the game a month+ ago)
What's the soundtrack mod ?
Frostmourne. Because it's Frostmourne.
I know you have to mod to get it but it's totally worth it.
For the Horde!
Its funny, I already wear the complete death brand set as well as soulrender and bloodcythe
Niiiice! That’s cause you’re a veteran Skyrim player!
