Hope you enjoyed the video guys! And question of the video, what’s your favourite shout and why? 🤔 *FAQs (Click 'Read more')* 👇 Q: You mention that Call of Valor only summons one hero, but this is not true, as the first and second versions of the shout summon the other two heroes? 🧙♂ That is correct, but what I was trying to say (which I probably should have explained better) was that Call of Valor, in any of its 3 instances, can only summon one hero at a time. It would have been much better if when shouting 2 words, 2 heroes joined you into battle, and when shouting 3 words, all 3 heroes joined you into battle (at the same time). Q: Clear skies can also negate Alduin's meteor shout and can be used to stagger enemies constantly, as its cool-down is only 5 seconds? 🧙♂ Yep, forgot to mention that Clear Skies could do that to Alduin's meteor shout, but didn't even think to use Clear Skies in that way to stagger opponents outdoors! It's not just aesthetically pleasing after all and further justifies its (once controversial) ranking position :) Q: Unrelenting Force wasn’t actually the first shout we ever heard in Skyrim, it was Alduin’s Meteor Shout? 🧙♂️ If you include the Skyrim official trailer, Fus Ro Dah was in fact the first shout heard. Q: You can essentially emulate the Throw Voice shout by shooting an arrow at a surface? 🧙♂ I didn't even think of that, that's pretty neat! Though, if enemies are near, they can hear the pull-back of the bowstring, so do be careful! 🤫 Also, arrows don't say "Skeever Butt!" 😉 Q: You speak slower than Hermaeus Mora himself??! 🧙♂ Yep, you're right lol. Sorry... should have added more cuts to my commentary! Improvements shall be made for future content - mark my words! Pro tip: increase the playback speed in the UA-cam video settings ⏩ Q: Didn’t Marked for Death get nerfed? 🧙♂️ Unfortunately, or fortunately, (depending at which way you look at it), yes. It was patched in the 1.6.629 update because they wanted to fix a bug in the Shadowrend CC. Marked for Death now deals 75pts of armor damage for 60 seconds and can no longer be stacked.
My storm call once hit Aela, my wife, who got pretty hurt and ran away from me, shouting "get away from me! She never came home This shout destroyed my marriage... I call it the divorce shout now
That's my exact point about it being reckless! 😂 but in all seriousness, I'm sorry man 😔, go find yourself a wife that's happy to weather the storms with you - that sh*t is true love! ❤
If you want to find her again then go to your quest book and then activate the miscellaneous quest for the companions to look for work because one of the markers will lead to Aela so you'll either be able to track her down in the wilderness or just find her back at jorrvaskr and pay your Bounty or sheathe your weapon if she's still mad.
I killed my wife in front of my children and Mudcrab Jim then ressurected her in front of them and walked ti the mini pier at the fish hatchery before fading into dust. 💘 so romantic
The first time I ever used Storm Call was during the civil war questline while doing one of the Fort battles. It killed five soldiers total, none of which were enemies.
A shout that bends the skies to your will. Strikes a storm to smite your hostile and (friendly) people. I mean, it is a pretty awful shout to be honest, like you'd expect a lightning storm to be effective
It is cinematic though also this with call dragon and dragon aspect for maximum cinematic effect Also remember to use the zero shout cooldown exploit to do this
Summon Durnehviir is my favorite shout just cause I feel so bad for him. Plus the sheer fact you can raise an undead dragon from essentially a hellish landscape is absolutely mind boggling.
He's super clutch. Especially because you can summon him indoors if there's space. Plus summoning him is essentially a 4 for 1 special, since he usually summons his own 3 summons too.
@splinter360 Plus, if you have the twin souls perk, you can summon an atronach on top of that. Personally, I wish he was a conjuration spell since he takes up one of your summons anyway and I wish he was rideable but still my favorite.
@@stevenceja4706if you have the right spells and equipment you can summon a little army even without Durnehviir. You have 2 summons with the twin soul perk, use the first slot for the bone collossus and you can summon 2 additional skeletons on top. The second „big“ summon slot is best used for an Ayleid Lich because he summons a storm astronarch himself or ressurects strong enemies (even guards or draug deathlords) You can even enchant your armor so you can summon ANOTHER creature My little summoned army usually is bone collossus, skeleton warlock, skeleton champion, undying ghost, ayleid lich + his storm astronach havent faced anything in the vanilla game that can beat them except Karstaag and ebony warrior
One more thing about Become Ethereal shout. If you use only one word, the duration of the shout is longer than a dragon breath attack, so you can use it to nullify breath attacks from them, the cooldown from 1 word is also low enough, that it will be available again when they use the breath attack again. This is very useful early game, where you are not strong enough to tank the breath attack.
The chad mage -Uses whirlwind sprint to charge at archer -Proceeds to throw a ranged spell at the archer point blank -Doesn't elaborate further -Leaves
The "Clear Skies" shout likely becomes a lot more functionally useful with Survival Mode installed, since inclement weather negatively impacts your warmth rating in a HUGE way. (So does being hit by ice or fire magic, actually.)
Unrelenting force is also great when followers have parked themselves in the nearest doorway or narrow dungeon tunnel and won't let you through. Works EVERY TIME!
fun fact about whirlwind sprint: the reason you hear the other 2 words only after the shout is done is because you outrun your own sound waves (even tho sound should be able to travel 100 ft in 1/10th of a second instead of 2.5 seconds but I'm not gonna question it)
i doubt anyone at Bethesda actually did the math. they probably just thought it was a fun idea and put it in, even if the player character was CLEARLY not moving at more than mach 1 (which just by a visual guess, yeah. we definitely aren’t)
Something I learned about the Storm Call shout while tinkering with it is that it's not supposed to hit friendlies. There are conditions on the embedded magic effects that are supposed to prevent followers from being targeted, but for whatever reason, they don't work. I'm convinced that the reason the shout description says it'll hit "friends and enemies alike" is because Bethesda just couldn't figure out how to make it only hit enemies
When outdoors, Clear Skies actually shoots a staggering projectile just like level 1 Unrelenting Force, except it travels much faster and further, and the cooldown is only 5 seconds. It's strong enough to stagger dragons and prevent them from using breath attacks. A severely underrated shout, and legitimately one of the best combat shouts.
@Tobias Leocadio You don’t find dragons, dragons find you. And it’s really fucking annoying when you want to wait, but there’s a dragon nearby that says "fuck you and your waiting."
Just want to note, you can talk to Paarthurnax about meditation and boost either Unrelenting Force, Become Ethereal, or Fire Breath. If you choose Fire Breath it can boost it by 25%, not very much but worth a mention at least. If you choose Become Ethereal you get 25% faster health regen while ethereal, and if you choose Unrelenting Force you get 25% less stagger done to you and 25% more stagger done to others, not just from Unrelenting Force but all sources.
@@JaelinBezel It's Become Ethereal. Because Force, Fire, and Ethereal are the 3 you get from the main story. Buffing Frost Breath is from the Dragonbone DLC's main story, from the Black Book at Nchardak.
One of the black books increase the power of unrelenting force and desintegrate your enemies, I made a dragon disappear and was like wtf?! Then I figured this came from a book (I haven't paid attention when picked a power) and yes, you can still absorb the soul from the ashes.
@@TheTrueJevil yea. That’s why the whisper is better. Soon as you fire a bow they are alerted. They just happen to head to arrow because that’s the next thing they hear
One particularly interesting thing about Throw Voice is that if you use it on one of those fire urns that float above oil slicks, the shout landing on it actually knocks the urn down, so you can potentially use Throw Voice to lure some enemies onto the oil then use it again on the urn to set the trap off
One additional thing about Elemental Fury: It makes mining ore _insanely_ efficient if you're not using the interact button prompt. This comes in especially handy when you start mining stahlrim.
If you're not dual-wielding pickaxes to mine, you probably just never heard of it. Because unless you like spending many minutes mining all that stone and clay, dual wielding, especially when also using elemental fury, fills your inventory with rocks even faster than using the shout against your enemies depletes their health.
I knew about this but im asking if anyone knoes if this negates the benefits of getting the gemstones you can get out of it like you would get if you mined with the animations. Does the swinging only give you the ore or can you still also get the gems?
@@Aether_Star nope! after _extensive_ testing i've found that it's the exact same as the mining function but faster because it lacks the shitty animation.
@@eggsbox thanks for the update! Ive only ever been mining with the shitty animations in fear of losing my gemstones and never bothered testing since i also went to buy the ores. Great to hear this
@@runtergerutscht4401 The only reason i don't dual-wield pickaxes is because I don't want the extra pickaxe taking up inventory space that I could be using for loot I don't need.
I absolutely adore Aura Whisper. Being able to plan my attack behind closed doors 50 feet away is invaluable. The word itself is also useful. "Whisper" makes it one of the only "shouts" that won't break stealth.
Fully used all Aura Whisper words while inside the 1st floor of Black Briar Mansion...and believe me, those thugs in the 2nd floor got alerted immediately after shouting or should I say, _whispering_ it 😅 So yeah, it could still break stealth if you used it near an enemy/enemies. I'm using Skyrim LE btw.
@@theWelshWizard bro nice video my fav shout is whirl wind sprint did u try out the glitch to use ur shouts inifite of time? Just put on the cooldown reducer amulet make potion with salt and cyrodil fish but only 1 tgen gogo out put ur armor off and on = infinite health magic shouts and even carry weight!!! Also u will get a lot of money with these potions
@@Oliistf u can make ur own difficulty and its not fun to wait minutes after u called a dragon also for fast traveling its really cool u still dont have to over use it but if u have to walk really far then u can spam whirlwind thats cool
I personally love Storm Call the most, it saved my ass when you get dropped off at Skuldafn and are surrounded by high level Draugr. It was the most badass moment in my play through
I did to except that I had daedric stuff so the beginning was no problem for the most part But the "badass" moment for me was with the dragon priest fight I used dragon aspect then storm call The priest and dragons never stood a chance It was fun especially with a daedric mace Daedric Mace go BONK
I always assumed everyone agreed it's the dragonborn's greatest, like, default most baddass power. Like, Ulfric asks you to use it seiging Solitude and you're just like "No, it's too dangerous."
No one seems to realize that which hero of snvgarde you summon depends on how many words you use, you only summon one-eye because you always use all 3 words.
For me, Marked for Death has always been one of my top Shouts in Skyrim. Its absurd how frail it makes the majority of enemies you fight, and the fact that with the game as is, the armour reduction is permanent is just scarily overpowered. It was powerful enough for me to two-shot Alduin and the Ebony Warrior after a couple of applications
The best thing is when you use "Marked for death" and fight with a mace and have his own 1 handed ability (you know, the perk that ignores armor when useing a mace), that can moestly kill everone more faster than just using Market for death...
The Call Storms shout can be used in Blackreach. Because of how huge Blackreach is you character is moved outside in order to properly load in. And because of how huge the roof is in Blackreach you can at times see clouds. Meaning you have enough space to summon the storm
I've always loved storm call, I know it has shit utility but if you sneak into a major bandit camp it can be a lot of fun to watch everyone get electrocuted.
@@adeelahmed4370 basicaly you become Talos , legend says he had a crown of thunder clouds on each battle , so pretty much he used this shout on every battle
I always loved the "stop time" one just because it seems so amazing to imagine the npcs looking at you sprinting and killing everyone in seconds, and also because you are able to shoot multiple arrows, walk next to the enemy and watch them die instantly
It's the best shout in the game I remember being ambushed by 5 frost trolls I used slow time killed them all while it was slow then when it ended I saw the bodies drop
@@BKBK-yo1zz Nah, at least in my version, there's a bug that makes it last a crazy long time. So I'd get power attacked by a skeever at the start of a dungeon, then run though and kill everyone before they could react.
Slow time is also capable of being affected by any fortify alteration potion. A really high potion can REALLY increase how long you're in slow time, and basically make it so, when you come back out, it's available to be cast again.
Throw Voice is actually REALLY good, since it resets the NPC's awareness state to a point where they can get sneak attacked. Normally if you sneak attack one enemy, you'd have to wait for the eye to close to be able to register a sneak attack. With Throw Voice, you can hit one, use the shout, and hit the other.
Is nobody gonna talk about the Slow time and Bow combo? that is seriously epic. You can line up your shoots, stack the arrows and have like 12 fly at an enemy when the shout is over almost a garanteed kill on anyone. Damn i got a Heart :)
Pro tip: Use call dragon Wait 3 hours Your shout cooldown is in 0 Use summon durnehviir. In total 1 fire dragon, 1 frost dragon, 1 wrathmen, 1 mistmen 1 bonemen and you.
I don't know how many people tried this but Alduin has a call storm shout of his own and you can use "Clear Skies Shout" to stop his meteor attacks, can also be used on your own storm call shout to stop lighting stikes. I assume anything that alters weather can be cleared with clear skies.
Tried that on a Dwemer Centurion, but without the shout. Made him follow me, then ran at the top of the sloping passage and stepped on the triggering button. It was enjoyable.
I used a mod that disabled shout cooldown and it allowed for seriously creative shouting. Using Slow Time and then seeing Unrelenting Force blast through 6 enemies at 10% speed is just poetry.
If you give your follower 5 amulets of talos, then transform into a werewolf right as you click to talk to them, you can equip all 5 amulets at once and remove the cool down completely in vanilla. (However transforming into a werewolf again will unequip all except 1 of them after you return to human form)
If you upgrade your shield perks to the shield rush bash and slow motion during power attacks, you can wait for a power attack, shield rush them and throw them in the air in slow motion then catch them mid air with force push. Very satisfying
in my next playthrough of skyrim (this is my first time playing and I'm pretty sure I'm not even 50% done with the game) im absolutely putting on game breaking and plain entertaining mods like disable shout cooldown. Being able to launch everyone around at all times sounds like heaven.
I wish there was some way to do this legitimately in the game. Not with game breaking glitches, but some type of end-game boon. It would be fun to watch the true full power of the Dragonborn be unleashed.
For anyone interested in utilizing shouts, I recommend the perk overhaul mod Ordinator, it allows shouts to be scaled with your level, grant you extra buffs and overall make shouting more fun and useful. I also recommend the mod Thunderchild, it adds new shouts that are lore friendly
Also in the destruction tree there's a perk which buffs your elemental spells depending on the weather buffing up call storm and clear skies for shock and fire spells
There's better mod in my opinion without changing vanila to far with small size, dragon aspect unblocker (no one day cool down dragon aspect), shout scaling magnitude based on unspent dragon souls (so the shout magnitude only work for player) the more you absorb dragon souls the more stronger your voice , or just try creation kit to tweak your shout but all tweaked shouts will effect globally
Thunderchild is extremely overpowered tho since you can swap your health with someone or deal damage based on missing health. But Armageddon tho... Might make an exception
Soul tear was always my fav, killing an enemy with a shout, ripping their soul from their body and trapping it in a gem, and then using their corpse as a subordinate.
I use the infinite shout glitch where you have a bunch of Amulets of Talos equipped at the same time, so I can just walk into a bandit camp and use Soul Tear to instant kill practically everyone there lol
@@joebloniarz4268 Frost breath gets upgraded once by a black book, It’s Become Ethereal, Fire Breath and Unrelenting force that get paarthurnax word meditations.
Wow, I've been playing Skyrim for years and only just now learned slow time can be used to extend the time of enchanting/smithing potions. There really is always something new to learn!
I've never really used Storm Call, except for if I'm clearing out large areas which I know for a fact have no allies within (like a Forsworn camp, or that area you're brought to which leads to Sovrengaurde.
Awesome video bro, this motivated me to try out all the other shouts because after 10 years of playing skyrim I havent even used half of them in combat situations yet. Just unrelenting force and whirlwind sprint 99% of the time
Lv. 1 Clear Skies is actually amazing in combat, since it staggers EVERYTHING (including dragons) and has a 5 second recharge time. Strictly better than Dragonrend for fighting non-Alduin dragons once they land. Only problems are that it only works outside and it's harder to hit multiple enemies with it than Lv. 3 Unrelenting Force. Hardly an all purpose shout but it's hilarious to trivialize Karstaag at level 1 with no skills leveled by spamming Clear Skies and using Storm Atronach staffs.
The clear sky shout also is a must ave in order to use Auriel bow efficiently i often use auriel bow with my Holy paladin build Dawnbreaker auriel shield stendar hammer fire and restoration spell dawngard armor " white variant "
When used outdoors it staggers everything, including dragons, with only a 5s recharge time. Trivializes any one-enemy outdoors encounter, but mostly I use it because harmlessly making Paarthanaux dramatically flinch and roar every 3 seconds in the middle of one of his long philosophical speeches is hilarious
Man oh man is it god tier on legendary my current legendary run I’m lvl 25 with almost all Ebony Armor and I have my heavy armor tree up to 68 with all the upgrades and like 260 HP and Trolls still 3 shot me
What hasn’t been mentioned is that Ice Form is perfect for freezing Lydia when she’s blocking the way by knocking her down so you can step over her and _finally_ get through.
I remember getting softlocked in that one Dawnguard mission with the moths and the Elder Scroll and the tree bark because Serana wouldn’t move from the beginning of the area and I couldn’t progress without her saying some dialogue by the tree. I had to manually “escort” her. So, let’s just say Unrelenting Force loses some of its charm after hearing it for the 50th time in a row.
I lost count of all the times I had to knock Serana off the towers with Fus-Ro-Dah in the Soul Cairn when she got stuck on the stairs or on upper floors.
You could also run into her. If you run into NPCs (including followers) they stagger a step back. Works wonders when Lydia is again trying to imprison you on a house.
normally use serana as a follower because she knows how to not yell get down mr. president right as i fire an arrow at some dumb bandit with poor survival instincts however her reanimated undead dont count as once you kill them again they wont get up a third time
Just a tip, I don’t recommend using Disarm on a mage…I used that shout today on a mage and just sat there for a good 20 seconds before realizing that you can’t exactly disarm magic…
I can imagine the mage when you used it 😆:- You: *shouts Mage: *surrenders “ah you got me this time, what am I going to do??!” Mage: *proceeds to throw fireball 🔥 Dragonborn: 😑 😂😂
Here's my reasons for why Call of Valor should be higher on the list: Harkon is essential, healable and able to kept summoned indefinitely. He's level 30 and knows shouts like Disarm, Dragonrend and Unrelenting Force and has access to Battle Cry, the Nord racial. He is an absolute UNIT of a summon. In combination with a follower, they can take on anything the game has to offer.
To me it’s just a very underwhelming reward for finishing the main storyline. All you get is a new conjuration spell (essentially) which become useless when enemies become stronger than him. The shout takes a solid 2 minutes to recharge, keeping you from using any other shouts. Also, you only have a 1/3 chance of getting hakon to spawn instead of another hero. A better alternative is the spell “Summon Arniel's Shade” which summons the ghost of Arniel Gane (an immortal ghost wizard with quite powerful spells). It lasts just as long as Call of Valor & costs zero magika to cast. And since it costs no magika to cast, you can instantly replace it if it dies. It’s only downside is that it gives no xp for any interaction.
My most frequently used shouts are Aura Whisper and Ice Form, but Storm Call is among my favorites for sheer entertainment value. It's one of the best at making you feel truly powerful on a level that other mortals can only aspire to, IMHO. As an aside, it's interesting and gratifying how many of the shouts are prized for their utility rather than sheer destructive power. Any old mage can shoot a fireball, but shouts provide truly unique effects with broad applications.
Shouts are basically like arguments in a debate. Imagine insulting someone so hard, they have to take a break. Or yelling so loudly, time itself takes a break and waits for you.
Yeah Aura Whisper is definitely my most used shout, silent casting detect life/death at a much greater range than both spells can reach. Plus how useful it is inside Dwelmer ruins can't be said enough lol
Well, as a matter of fact, I'm gonna name my top favorite shouts. 1: Dragon Aspect - truly one of the most busted support shouts of all time as it not only improves damage, armor, and thensome, but look positively stunning in design. 2: Elemental Fury - a shout highly underrated in warrior builds, this shout turns any dual wielding warrior into an absolute blender and can kill any target within seconds, sometimes even on legendary difficulty. 3: Slow Time - absolutely busted. This shout definitely gives enemies a run for their money and can do plenty of harm to your enemies. Truly one of my favorites. 4: Unrelenting Force - Why you ask? Well the uploader of the video just explained why. Plus being able to disintegrate enemies with Dragonborn Force perk is nuts. 5: Fire Breath - 1 word to describe: Awesome. Being a true dragonborn is having the ability to spit fire like the other dragon's and personally, I enjoy being able to set my foes ablaze.
I love Whirlwind Sprint because, besides making you run while overloaded, you can also use to sequence break some dungeons or even negate fall damage too
i think the cool down makes or breaks a shout, like i don't see anyone using summon dragon in a serious playthrough, outside of the civil war "attack this fort" missions. but unrelenting force will be used again and again.
Summon Durnehviir and Call Dragon can come in pretty useful for your forts as well, but indeed, apart from those rare occasions, the other shouts are generally used more often. Got to love Unrelenting Force! 😁
Look, I know Unrelenting Force is super entertaining, but the cooldown for the third level of it is just a little too long for me to seriously put it in one of the top spots. 25 seconds, sure. Maybe 30. 45? Nah, I could think of more practical shouts to use in its place.
@@theWelshWizard you can actually use the first words of summon durnehviir as a replacement for first word unrelenting shout, it has the same slight knock back effect but only on a 5 second cooldown. It’s amazing when fighting strong enemies and need a quick second to heal or set up for a heavy swing/dual cast.
I use Clear Skies too whenever I need to clear out the skies. I hate it whenever I can't see the full sunshine during the day or see the sea of stars and those fancy aurora displays during the night.
Regarding the Whirlwind Sprint Shout, there's a fun little feature on it where you can actually body slam yourself into the enemy, briefly stunning them for a few seconds.
If you have the last Block perk, you can put up your shield and start sprinting then use Whirlwind Sprint as well, crashing into folks and yeeting them noticeably farther than if you would just sprint into them normally. Doesn't always work though sadly for whatever reason but it is quite satisfying and spectacular when it does.
The dragon armor is my favorite one just because I used it on an Argonian and took a screenshot of him standing on a rocky waterfall inside that huge dwarven underground city. It was so breathtaking I'll always remember that in particular from Skyrim as someone that only played it for about 100 hours.
Some interesting things is the shouts can be even more powerful if you use your alchemy leveled potions. Basically each shout are features for each magic class; Alteration, Illusion, Destruction, Conjuration and Restoration. For example fire and ice shouts are classed as Destruction so drinking a elixir will amplify the strength for that specific class. Same goes for Slow Time for Alteration and Kyne’ Peace for Illusion.
Interesting... No wonder why my fire breath was doing extra damage with 50% extra damage destruction skill, fire within 25%, Dragon Aspects 25% more damage = 100% power. Plus, Hermora black book getting more fire power. Like a dragon should be
For ice form, you didn’t mention the black book ability that lets you hit frozen enemies without them being unfrozen. I think that truly makes it a top tier shout
Honestly the weirdest fucking decisions for skyrim were when they went "hey how about we make most of this stuff useless ether after a certain level, give it to you late in the game after you have no need for it, or just make these ineffective against half the stuff you would want to use them on in a pinch" This applies to so many things but ESPECIALLY the shouts that are suppose to be the unique selling point of the game.
The idea behind the ones that only affect low level enemies coming in late is that it gives you the ability to ignore low levelled enemies. The problem with that idea is that I kill them in one hit and can then ignore them without wasting a soul.
That's just Bethesdas leveling system. There are plenty other things to say about this game that are bothersome like the low bounties for bandits, bonked resistances and armour, item distribution and enemy scaling etc.
Completely agree. Skyrim feels so neutered in some ways. Shouts could have been really special, but they mostly just feel lame. I still love summoning storms and Duneviir though lol
I used to always use this trick until my game bugged out and now I have infinite elemental fury with the annoying wind sound effect playing 24/7. Great!

Elemental Fury needs to be way higher dude, dual wielding legendary smithed daedric swords with all 3 words means you can drop a dragon priest ludicrously fast, the DPS is real
From the outside looking in the slow time shout has better DPS and can be used with enchanted weapons. Elemental fury is a ton of fun, and is great to use in conjunction with the orc berserker mode to effectively quadruple your damage, but slow time can do that but faster. Slow time slows by 90%, meaning you can attack 10x faster than your opponent, whereas the elemental fury gives double speed.
Kyne's Peace's true utility: Sending EVERY item in a given map in every direction, regardless of where you're facing since it goes through walls and fires in every direction like an explosion. Best used in Black-Briar Lodge/Manor. Also, elemental fury: right hand, enchant with paralyze/absorb stamina, or both. You're welcome.
@Bence Szabó Which is why you only enchant the right-handed weapon. Dual-Wield power attack speeds are determined by the left-handed weapon's speed, which will be affected by Elemental Fury.
if I get the last enchanting perk that allows two enchantments per item and only enchant my weapon with one effect, will I be able to use elemental fury?
@@gauravrajmishra4510 No. For Elemental Fury, it's either an enchanted, or not. If not, it's enchanted with Elemental Fury. If it is already enchanted, it's not affected. Number or type of enchantment is irrelevant.
First time watching your channel. Really cool to learn about more of the Shouts. I typically have my handful I use that I cycle through but have no use for most of them so I don't even test them out. Great work
I'm so happy you acknowledged Aura Whisper as a good shout. Way too many people sleep on it, even if you only have the first word. Quick cooldown, long range, useful almost anywhere.
I used to love Aura Whisper. I used it all the time because knowing where your enemies are at all times is just too useful. But then my overuse of it eventually caused my character's eyes to glow like a Draugr. I haven't used Aura Whisper since and just stick with Detect Life.
@@theWelshWizard I didn't have USSEP when I encountered the Draugr Eyes glitch, but I have it now that I can finally connect my PS4 to the internet. It was the first thing I downloaded, and boy what a disappointment it is. When you play Oblivion and ask for recommended mods the UOP is always the first on everyone's list, but USSEP is such a dumpster fire. It does fix numerous harmful bugs, but it also patches out useful exploits like Necromage Vampires, the Fortify Alchemy loop, Aspect of Terror's +10 to Fire Damage, etc. Thankfully it put Salmon Roe back after being told the high value was intentional. It also doesn't fix some bugs that have been around forever. Like the Creep Cluster bug that prevents you from harvesting them if you plant them in the garden of your Hearthfire home. (You can still plant them safely in the small single pots inside the greenhouse, just not in the garden or the big long planters.) It also doesn't touch the Flora Respawn bug which causes ingredients you have harvested to never grow back. If you pick everything in Whiterun, leave, wait 10 days, then come back you will find everything has grown back. But if you leave Whiterun without picking everything a second time and come back, the game will have forgotten that the plants were supposed to be fully regrown and everything will be bare again. It pisses me off to no end how USSEP doesn't fix that, yet there is a Flora Respawn fix for it which unfortunately isn't available on the PS4. And the latest USSEP screw up I have found is it breaks Delvin's dialog in a way that prevents him from giving you the Special Jobs. Yeah you read that right, you literally need to disable USSEP if you want to improve the Thieves Guild. If it wasn't for the genuinely harmful bugs I wouldn't have anything to do with it. USSEP is a fine example of the cure being only slightly better than the disease.
My one pet peeve of shouts is the delay between the first and second word. Many of them would sound better if all three words were said fluidly. Imagine how good Unrelenting Force would sound if it were like the trailer.
@@SquishyOfCinder I did, then I tried saying it normally. Saying it with an exhale sounds closer. This is also disproven by the fact that Fus works as its own shout. Sending a shout outward while inhaling🤦🏿♂
Cyclone is actually one of my favorites, but not for combat. Usually I pick all the unneeded stuff and put it on a pile. One Cyclone and all the garbage flys around - much to my enjoyment.
One of my favorite Skyrim kill videos uses cyclone. Cyclone, guys up in the air, pickpocket all of his clothes off, dude is dead when he hits the ground.
I know I’m a year late but ancillary note: Elemental fury is broken as hell on survival mode as the debuff from hunger is reversed by elemental fury, turning it into an equal attack speed buff. I can attack five to six times a second with a longsword using this trick if at max hunger. Still hasn’t been patched out this far.
Kynes peace also becomes much more useful in survival mode: when you've been stuck for half an hour north of winterhold and are at 50 max hp due to the cold, bears are a problem.
Not a lot of people seem to know how meta Clear Skies actually is. When outside, it is basically a free stagger on any target using just the first word, which has 5 seconds of cooldown, it removes the meteor storm from Alduin's boss fight, and essentially allows you to stun-lock enemies with slow attack speed when used in conjunction with power attacks.
The Call of Valor shout could've been the one exception to the "third-word only" rule since it'll also summon one of the other two heroes depending on if you use one or two words.
I like the Frost Breath shout the most after getting the upgrade from Party Snacks, turns it into a better Ice Form allowing you to attack your enemies while they are frozen.
My favourite shout is Aurora's whisper. I always play khajit with a bow build. I love that I can sneak into a dungeon and have a clear view of where they are espically if I get lost.
Ah, the Fus-Ro-Dah memes of 2011-2012... Even if some other shouts severely outclass Unrelenthing Force in utility, versatility or effectiveness, I think 1st place is still well deserved, for the memes alone.
Honestly tho, UF has a crap load of utility. It’s not that great against super huge enemies(dragons), but it has helped me so much for instakilling draugr death overlords or bandit chiefs.
@@albinocat there's a few lesser boss encounters that have built in cheese. Like the moonstone mine deathlord in the Markarth area not far from Old Hroldan. There's an ancient Nord fireball turret right behind him with fucking aim bot that fires every 5 seconds and you can't stealth by it. There's also the Ancient Nord Amulet brothers but specifically the bow bro who has a maxed out UF shout, shadow clones, no room to kite the fucker, and did I mention that it takes for fucking ever to get up from that shout? Oh and he gets a quick recharge on the shout just in time for him to put you on your ass again and pelt you with arrows on top of the damage from you getting ragdolled, The shout does damage.
If you have the dragonborn dlc, a power you get from herma mora makes your shout instantly kill weaker enemies and turns them to ash. It also does an extra 25% stagger
@@SadovnikovSS Actually even Vampire Lord needs to use Whirlwind Sprint in the ruined towers before Soul Cairn area. There are a few chests that are too far to get to otherwise.
With "individual shouts cooldowns"-mod shouts actually become useful and it makes your character stronger and more versatile the more shouts you collect, making word collecting lot more rewarding and fun at the same time. I highly suggest the mod for anyone who wants new and very creative approach in combat.
Why isn't that in the vanilla game. Or even better, have it be a Thu'um line of perks that allow for shorter cooldowns (like how magic cost gets reduced) or multiple "active" shouts at the same time (like how two handed casting works or how you can unlock the ability to summon two minions at once)
@@HappyBeezerStudios Ordinator Perk Overhaul actually puts shouts under the Speech tree and actually lets you combo shouts/bind them together, in addition to giving it better cooldowns and more damage.
@@samuelussher8448 Noted, thanks for the response. I have ordinator and Apocalypse but I don't think either of those make spell enchantments and shouts interact. Speech tree is actually useful though and Magic and sick AF.
The clear skies shout is one of the best. With its incredibly fast recharge rate, if you just use the first shout while outside any enemy will be staggered just like the first shout of fus roh dah. So you essentially get a free, quick and safe way to stagger enemies repeatedly. Yes it only works outside but that is where 50% of all combat encounters are.
Another cool thing about clear skies, if your map is heavily clouded use Clear Skies then look at your map most don't realize that the map is rendering in real time with weather and everything this also implies that using a clear skies anywhere on the map clears the Skies over the entirety of Skyrim
I used call dunherviir and call dragon to ride it in at the battle of solitude. Was absolutely breathtaking to wreck them without hardly lifting a finger.
I am so glad Become Ethereal ranked so highly. It's literally the only shout I ever use for the reasons mentioned, but the first level of the shout also has an incredibly broken use. Its recharge seems to be shorter than dragon breath attacks, so you can just keep tanking their attacks without any worry.
@@BKBK-yo1zz you get the first word of become ethereal very early in the game, so it is great for if you haven’t gotten dragon rend yet. Also if you play on very high difficulties then making the dragon come down doesn’t do you any good since it’ll just kill you instantly, whereas with become ethereal you can just wait for it to come down then tank the dragon breath and kill it form there. It takes longer but it is sometimes the only option.
I love Soul Tear for my Evil Wizard/Warlock builds. It's basically an even grimmer version of Avada Kedavra with some beneficial side effects. And you get it from an undead dragon in a pocket realm of eternal misery. It's just the Dark Magic thuum
my favorite shout is cyclone because it easily knocks down all enemies in front of you and does decent damage. It's unrelenting force but makes them more readily available to start hacking at
Slow time for me. Best combat shout by far and one of the best shouts overall, since using just the first word is actually better than using the whole shout, which indirectly turns Slow time the fastest shout to cast and it has very little cooldown (one word cooldown, rather than a full shout cooldown).
Slow Time becomes even more useful if you use the infinite shout glitch that makes you have no cooldown whatsoever since I think the more words of the shout you use, the faster you can move in the slowed time (you actually get close to normal speed, and you could also use Elemental Fury while Slow Time is active, making you able to take down really tough enemies in what would be just 5 seconds in real time in the game.) and the slower enemies move. You practically become David from Cyberpunk Edgerunners lol
Not to mention if you use an weapon enchanted with absorb health, you could more rapidly deplete your enemies health while increasing your own. Either straight up kill, or weak enough to be finish off.
Hope you enjoyed the video guys! And question of the video, what’s your favourite shout and why? 🤔
*FAQs (Click 'Read more')* 👇
Q: You mention that Call of Valor only summons one hero, but this is not true, as the first and second versions of the shout summon the other two heroes?
🧙♂ That is correct, but what I was trying to say (which I probably should have explained better) was that Call of Valor, in any of its 3 instances, can only summon one hero at a time. It would have been much better if when shouting 2 words, 2 heroes joined you into battle, and when shouting 3 words, all 3 heroes joined you into battle (at the same time).
Q: Clear skies can also negate Alduin's meteor shout and can be used to stagger enemies constantly, as its cool-down is only 5 seconds?
🧙♂ Yep, forgot to mention that Clear Skies could do that to Alduin's meteor shout, but didn't even think to use Clear Skies in that way to stagger opponents outdoors! It's not just aesthetically pleasing after all and further justifies its (once controversial) ranking position :)
Q: Unrelenting Force wasn’t actually the first shout we ever heard in Skyrim, it was Alduin’s Meteor Shout?
🧙♂️ If you include the Skyrim official trailer, Fus Ro Dah was in fact the first shout heard.
Q: You can essentially emulate the Throw Voice shout by shooting an arrow at a surface?
🧙♂ I didn't even think of that, that's pretty neat! Though, if enemies are near, they can hear the pull-back of the bowstring, so do be careful! 🤫 Also, arrows don't say "Skeever Butt!" 😉
Q: You speak slower than Hermaeus Mora himself??!
🧙♂ Yep, you're right lol. Sorry... should have added more cuts to my commentary! Improvements shall be made for future content - mark my words! Pro tip: increase the playback speed in the UA-cam video settings ⏩
Q: Didn’t Marked for Death get nerfed?
🧙♂️ Unfortunately, or fortunately, (depending at which way you look at it), yes. It was patched in the 1.6.629 update because they wanted to fix a bug in the Shadowrend CC. Marked for Death now deals 75pts of armor damage for 60 seconds and can no longer be stacked.
Unrelenting Force you already know the answer :)
My favorite shout would have to be elemental fury because with dual legendary dragonbone axes I can kill legendary dragons on adept in 3 seconds
"FUS RO DAH!" is my favorite because it's so easy to obtain, and it really helps when fighting tough enemies such as the Draugr Deathlord.
I liked the flame one cause I'm basic
@@The6BitParadox it is a very op shout to be fair!
Wait a minute, you're telling me that Dragonrend gives dragons such an existential crisis that they have to sit down
So basically my character wasn't as nice as I thought
It makes them feel what it means to be mortal and being immortal beings that are borderline demigods thus making them crash to the ground in shock
@@Fallen-gryphon "Feel the power of a MAN!"
I mean, you sit down and imagine the eternal end of experience and sensation, you'll get a crisis too.
Yes, it gives Dragons a severe mid life crisis. Or, if you like a 'mid flight crisis'.
My storm call once hit Aela, my wife, who got pretty hurt and ran away from me, shouting "get away from me!
She never came home
This shout destroyed my marriage... I call it the divorce shout now
That's my exact point about it being reckless! 😂 but in all seriousness, I'm sorry man 😔, go find yourself a wife that's happy to weather the storms with you - that sh*t is true love! ❤
Don’t ever release Teldryn Sero as a follower on the mainland..... YOU’LL NEVER FIND HIM AGAIN
If you want to find her again then go to your quest book and then activate the miscellaneous quest for the companions to look for work because one of the markers will lead to Aela so you'll either be able to track her down in the wilderness or just find her back at jorrvaskr and pay your Bounty or sheathe your weapon if she's still mad.
@@Glostahdude few day games and he'll be back on solstheim
I killed my wife in front of my children and Mudcrab Jim then ressurected her in front of them and walked ti the mini pier at the fish hatchery before fading into dust. 💘 so romantic
The first time I ever used Storm Call was during the civil war questline while doing one of the Fort battles. It killed five soldiers total, none of which were enemies.
A shout that bends the skies to your will. Strikes a storm to smite your hostile and (friendly) people. I mean, it is a pretty awful shout to be honest, like you'd expect a lightning storm to be effective
lol. In my case, it was nighttime in Whiterun when vampires attacked and I had just unlocked a new shout.. No one was happy xD
Takes a lot of guts to confess ones crimes
The first time I ever used Storm Call was against Alduin. I didn't read the cooldown time. It was not pleasant.
It is cinematic though also this with call dragon and dragon aspect for maximum cinematic effect
Also remember to use the zero shout cooldown exploit to do this
Summon Durnehviir is my favorite shout just cause I feel so bad for him. Plus the sheer fact you can raise an undead dragon from essentially a hellish landscape is absolutely mind boggling.
He's super clutch. Especially because you can summon him indoors if there's space. Plus summoning him is essentially a 4 for 1 special, since he usually summons his own 3 summons too.
So glad that someone else uses Summon Durnehviir just to get him out of the Soul Cairn for a little while!
You can give him a little field trip!
@splinter360 Plus, if you have the twin souls perk, you can summon an atronach on top of that. Personally, I wish he was a conjuration spell since he takes up one of your summons anyway and I wish he was rideable but still my favorite.
@@stevenceja4706if you have the right spells and equipment you can summon a little army even without Durnehviir.
You have 2 summons with the twin soul perk, use the first slot for the bone collossus and you can summon 2 additional skeletons on top.
The second „big“ summon slot is best used for an Ayleid Lich because he summons a storm astronarch himself or ressurects strong enemies (even guards or draug deathlords)
You can even enchant your armor so you can summon ANOTHER creature
My little summoned army usually is
bone collossus, skeleton warlock, skeleton champion, undying ghost, ayleid lich + his storm astronach
havent faced anything in the vanilla game that can beat them except Karstaag and ebony warrior
One more thing about Become Ethereal shout. If you use only one word, the duration of the shout is longer than a dragon breath attack, so you can use it to nullify breath attacks from them, the cooldown from 1 word is also low enough, that it will be available again when they use the breath attack again. This is very useful early game, where you are not strong enough to tank the breath attack.
That is a very good point! Thanks for sharing! 👍
You can also damage enemies with the bloodskal blade’s energy attack without the shout deactivating as long as you don’t melee them
Finally a use for the shout
This is literally my strategy. I am happy others caught on too. Its one of my top 5 shouts.
You also get infinite sprint while in the shout too
The chad mage
-Uses whirlwind sprint to charge at archer
-Proceeds to throw a ranged spell at the archer point blank
-Doesn't elaborate further
-Leaves
My unorthodox combat style is difficult to anticipate! ...believe you me 🧙♂️👀
This is how I end up playing, although I never considered whirlwind. Run up to enemies and point-blank cast fireball spam
I had a good laugh seeing that
my goals are beyond your understanding
Chadly
Clear Skies can negate Alduin's meteor storm attack
Yup it may not be that useful but it shows the power the dragonborn to change weather, love it
As if Alduin wasn't easy enough.
Clear Skies can also stagger enemies... it's way better than Unrelenting Force, it's one of the best shouts, about top 3/5...
Wait what
*the bethesda secret agents would like to know your location*
The "Clear Skies" shout likely becomes a lot more functionally useful with Survival Mode installed, since inclement weather negatively impacts your warmth rating in a HUGE way. (So does being hit by ice or fire magic, actually.)
and you can stagger enemies using only the first word
Survival tip: Tell the Blizzard to fuck off.
Or just against the snowstorms because Skyrim's snowstorms are essentially Stevie Wonder experience
Playing survival mode: 🤢
I have only played on survival mode(just got to know that there are modes) and it was hell for me ☠️☠️
Unrelenting force is also great when followers have parked themselves in the nearest doorway or narrow dungeon tunnel and won't let you through. Works EVERY TIME!
True lol
Handy for Lod’s dog who is just a complete pain in the butt.
or a 100 percent block with shield charge if u want to take the time
Lydia turned into space Dust
Doesn’t work if you have companion’s insight - spells and shouts don’t harm companions.
fun fact about whirlwind sprint: the reason you hear the other 2 words only after the shout is done is because you outrun your own sound waves (even tho sound should be able to travel 100 ft in 1/10th of a second instead of 2.5 seconds but I'm not gonna question it)
Interesting! 🤔 This made me think of poor master Borri lol - hearing him say "Nah Kest" as he fly's off the cliff never gets old :)
The hell are u doing here? U need to be at sanctuary because another settlement needs your help
I don't remember ever hearing the other two words after the first one
I just made this revelation as I was watching the video
i doubt anyone at Bethesda actually did the math. they probably just thought it was a fun idea and put it in, even if the player character was CLEARLY not moving at more than mach 1 (which just by a visual guess, yeah. we definitely aren’t)
Something I learned about the Storm Call shout while tinkering with it is that it's not supposed to hit friendlies. There are conditions on the embedded magic effects that are supposed to prevent followers from being targeted, but for whatever reason, they don't work. I'm convinced that the reason the shout description says it'll hit "friends and enemies alike" is because Bethesda just couldn't figure out how to make it only hit enemies
Is this a literal "it's not a bug, it's a feature"?? Lol
@@smithcubs it wouldn’t be a Bethesda game if it just works.
I think the Black Book Companion Insight effect helps negate the Storm Call hitting Friendlies.
Yeah Storm call messed me up good when I used it. It hit my follower (IDR who Lydia or Jzargo probably) and they turned hostile lol
Marked for death is my favorite. Also my least favorite. The effect stacks. All those times I accidentally hit Lydia. She never stood a chance.
When outdoors, Clear Skies actually shoots a staggering projectile just like level 1 Unrelenting Force, except it travels much faster and further, and the cooldown is only 5 seconds. It's strong enough to stagger dragons and prevent them from using breath attacks. A severely underrated shout, and legitimately one of the best combat shouts.
Thats one thing I never knew!! I’ve been using Only Fus for so much time in early game to make able to live lol
It's literally the best shout in the game for combat because it gives you an almost instant reuse stagger attack that effects everyone near it
I was hoping someone would mention this, clear skies is the GOAT
@@GustinelliOnly Fus sounds like a website for some...fanart
Yeah I used to spam clear skies to cancel dragon breath weapons. Before that I just dodged them with ethereal form.
"Limited supply of dragon souls"
That's a pretty funny joke.
How?
@Tobias Leocadio You don’t find dragons, dragons find you. And it’s really fucking annoying when you want to wait, but there’s a dragon nearby that says "fuck you and your waiting."
@@decimation9780 or near NPCs the dragon cab one shot 😞
Lol earlier today a frost dragon and blood dragon attacked me at the same time. I lost.
@@lasagna970 Where they named, and were you in an area from the Dawnguard DLC?
Just want to note, you can talk to Paarthurnax about meditation and boost either Unrelenting Force, Become Ethereal, or Fire Breath. If you choose Fire Breath it can boost it by 25%, not very much but worth a mention at least. If you choose Become Ethereal you get 25% faster health regen while ethereal, and if you choose Unrelenting Force you get 25% less stagger done to you and 25% more stagger done to others, not just from Unrelenting Force but all sources.
Frost breath not become ethereal
@@JaelinBezel : He means meditating to the dragon of top of Throat of the World, not reading a dark book of Deadric Prince.
@@JaelinBezel It's Become Ethereal. Because Force, Fire, and Ethereal are the 3 you get from the main story.
Buffing Frost Breath is from the Dragonbone DLC's main story, from the Black Book at Nchardak.
Ahh😁 so that's why my arrows have so much ompf !
One of the black books increase the power of unrelenting force and desintegrate your enemies, I made a dragon disappear and was like wtf?! Then I figured this came from a book (I haven't paid attention when picked a power) and yes, you can still absorb the soul from the ashes.
Note for throw voice.
You can essentially emulate its effects by taking a bow and shooting an arrow on a surface that makes a noise.
Ikr. That "shout" is just a waste of souls.
Yeah but they can hear you pull the arrow back in your bow. It’s not as easy
@@sleepyjoe4824 wait they can??? Huh never knew that
@@TheTrueJevil yea. That’s why the whisper is better. Soon as you fire a bow they are alerted. They just happen to head to arrow because that’s the next thing they hear
@@williamscott2580 That's cuz it's made for Dragonborns not Dragons to use, no dragons would use dragonrend or summon dragon on each other. 🤣
One particularly interesting thing about Throw Voice is that if you use it on one of those fire urns that float above oil slicks, the shout landing on it actually knocks the urn down, so you can potentially use Throw Voice to lure some enemies onto the oil then use it again on the urn to set the trap off
That’s very cool! Will have to try that 👍 An arrow or spell should also do the job after the initial Throw Voice, but Throw voice is extra discreet 👌
Learn something new everyday
Nice strat, I will have to try that!
Or use an arrow. First one to the ground, to lure the enemies, then one on the urn.
And spells also knock the urns.
One additional thing about Elemental Fury: It makes mining ore _insanely_ efficient if you're not using the interact button prompt. This comes in especially handy when you start mining stahlrim.
If you're not dual-wielding pickaxes to mine, you probably just never heard of it. Because unless you like spending many minutes mining all that stone and clay, dual wielding, especially when also using elemental fury, fills your inventory with rocks even faster than using the shout against your enemies depletes their health.
I knew about this but im asking if anyone knoes if this negates the benefits of getting the gemstones you can get out of it like you would get if you mined with the animations. Does the swinging only give you the ore or can you still also get the gems?
@@Aether_Star nope! after _extensive_ testing i've found that it's the exact same as the mining function but faster because it lacks the shitty animation.
@@eggsbox thanks for the update! Ive only ever been mining with the shitty animations in fear of losing my gemstones and never bothered testing since i also went to buy the ores. Great to hear this
@@runtergerutscht4401 The only reason i don't dual-wield pickaxes is because I don't want the extra pickaxe taking up inventory space that I could be using for loot I don't need.
I absolutely adore Aura Whisper. Being able to plan my attack behind closed doors 50 feet away is invaluable. The word itself is also useful. "Whisper" makes it one of the only "shouts" that won't break stealth.
Fully used all Aura Whisper words while inside the 1st floor of Black Briar Mansion...and believe me, those thugs in the 2nd floor got alerted immediately after shouting or should I say, _whispering_ it 😅
So yeah, it could still break stealth if you used it near an enemy/enemies. I'm using Skyrim LE btw.
I use to find npcs when the place is big and empty, hate entering a house to deliver a quest and the person isn't in their usual spot
@@fleivor5359 certainly makes looking for arngeir a lot more conveni... oh, hey, wulfgar
@Jacob Wiggins its quieter than most shouts but yeah, not completely silent.
If I'm in a stealth build, I typically try to level illusion anyways so I get the quiet casting perk so that I don't make any noise with it at all

First shout Lydia off the mountain.
Then follow her because she has your gear.
I personally love Storm Call the most, it saved my ass when you get dropped off at Skuldafn and are surrounded by high level Draugr. It was the most badass moment in my play through
Bruh I literally just ran around screaming trying to find the way it.... not my proudest moment
Am replaying the game right now, will definitely get all shouts of storm call for this exact purpose
It's fun until you accidentally use it in town and lighting strikes start to randomly kill village NPCs, which results in very angry guards
I did to except that I had daedric stuff so the beginning was no problem for the most part
But the "badass" moment for me was with the dragon priest fight I used dragon aspect then storm call
The priest and dragons never stood a chance
It was fun especially with a daedric mace
Daedric Mace go BONK
I always assumed everyone agreed it's the dragonborn's greatest, like, default most baddass power. Like, Ulfric asks you to use it seiging Solitude and you're just like "No, it's too dangerous."
No one seems to realize that which hero of snvgarde you summon depends on how many words you use, you only summon one-eye because you always use all 3 words.

For me, Marked for Death has always been one of my top Shouts in Skyrim. Its absurd how frail it makes the majority of enemies you fight, and the fact that with the game as is, the armour reduction is permanent is just scarily overpowered. It was powerful enough for me to two-shot Alduin and the Ebony Warrior after a couple of applications
It is a very broken shout indeed!
@@theWelshWizard you live!!
@@theWelshWizard fus to dah only is best if u got all 3 shouts. But it's amazing to use
Wuld Nah Kest is also broken with a bucket to pass through blocked doors (works in Unofficial Skyrim Patch too, but it's harder)
The best thing is when you use "Marked for death" and fight with a mace and have his own 1 handed ability (you know, the perk that ignores armor when useing a mace), that can moestly kill everone more faster than just using Market for death...
The Call Storms shout can be used in Blackreach. Because of how huge Blackreach is you character is moved outside in order to properly load in. And because of how huge the roof is in Blackreach you can at times see clouds. Meaning you have enough space to summon the storm
That’s also why it can snow in black reach!
I've always loved storm call, I know it has shit utility but if you sneak into a major bandit camp it can be a lot of fun to watch everyone get electrocuted.

It's great for derabbling cities.
Good for dragon lair battles
I always loved the "stop time" one just because it seems so amazing to imagine the npcs looking at you sprinting and killing everyone in seconds, and also because you are able to shoot multiple arrows, walk next to the enemy and watch them die instantly
It's the best shout in the game I remember being ambushed by 5 frost trolls I used slow time killed them all while it was slow then when it ended I saw the bodies drop

@@toasterrat5452 that's only for a short time during power attacks though
@@BKBK-yo1zz Nah, at least in my version, there's a bug that makes it last a crazy long time. So I'd get power attacked by a skeever at the start of a dungeon, then run though and kill everyone before they could react.
Slow time is also capable of being affected by any fortify alteration potion. A really high potion can REALLY increase how long you're in slow time, and basically make it so, when you come back out, it's available to be cast again.
Also worth mentioning the alteration perk that increases the duration of alteration spells affects slow time it's my favorite shout
Necromage works too
roleplay playthough where you make it insanely long and play the entire game like that as a wizard that seriously messed up a time spell
Dio would be cheese if he was in the world of skyrim.
I need to find out which class of magic fus ro dah falls under to fortify it
Elemental Fury is phenomenal for mining. Especially in the Hearthfire DLC. You can get ~80 clay or stone from one burst of Elemental Fury.
Thats genuenly awesome
Throw Voice is actually REALLY good, since it resets the NPC's awareness state to a point where they can get sneak attacked. Normally if you sneak attack one enemy, you'd have to wait for the eye to close to be able to register a sneak attack. With Throw Voice, you can hit one, use the shout, and hit the other.
Is nobody gonna talk about the Slow time and Bow combo? that is seriously epic. You can line up your shoots, stack the arrows and have like 12 fly at an enemy when the shout is over almost a garanteed kill on anyone.
Damn i got a Heart :)
It's my favorite when I play an archer build😎
So you can pull a Dio Brando
Slow time + secret of arcana
The alteration perk which extends spell durations also works on slow time meaning you can get like a minute of slow time

Pro tip:
Use call dragon
Wait 3 hours
Your shout cooldown is in 0
Use summon durnehviir.
In total 1 fire dragon, 1 frost dragon, 1 wrathmen, 1 mistmen 1 bonemen and you.
Me: summons 2 dragons
Also me: 🍿😎
That is considered an exploit. Which he said he was avoiding :)
@@strNpwrKC how is it an exploit? i don't see anything unintentional there, as they chose to make waiting remove cooldown from shouts.
And one follower, one Barbas, two dremora lords and a partridge in a pear tree
@@ragingbullgames1489 you can't have two conjurations with durnehviir :(
But you can give the sanguine rose to the follower :)
I don't know how many people tried this but Alduin has a call storm shout of his own and you can use "Clear Skies Shout" to stop his meteor attacks, can also be used on your own storm call shout to stop lighting stikes. I assume anything that alters weather can be cleared with clear skies.
sucks that Storm Call itself has such an absurdly long cooldown w/o glitches, would be a great was to not electrocute my buddies
Use black book that allows no dmg to allies via spelm dmg
I used the throw voice shout in a dwemer ruin to lure hostiles to a spin blade trap and cleared out 30 falmor
Edit: this is my most liked post
you're a genius
Nice.
Feel like I remember straight-up using it to trigger traps trying to do something similar. Probably didn’t, but yeah it’s nasty.
Tried that on a Dwemer Centurion, but without the shout. Made him follow me, then ran at the top of the sloping passage and stepped on the triggering button. It was enjoyable.
This is a big brain shout only a few people know how to use right
I used a mod that disabled shout cooldown and it allowed for seriously creative shouting.
Using Slow Time and then seeing Unrelenting Force blast through 6 enemies at 10% speed is just poetry.
ah yes, [Za Warldo]
If you give your follower 5 amulets of talos, then transform into a werewolf right as you click to talk to them, you can equip all 5 amulets at once and remove the cool down completely in vanilla. (However transforming into a werewolf again will unequip all except 1 of them after you return to human form)
If you upgrade your shield perks to the shield rush bash and slow motion during power attacks, you can wait for a power attack, shield rush them and throw them in the air in slow motion then catch them mid air with force push. Very satisfying
in my next playthrough of skyrim (this is my first time playing and I'm pretty sure I'm not even 50% done with the game) im absolutely putting on game breaking and plain entertaining mods like disable shout cooldown. Being able to launch everyone around at all times sounds like heaven.
I wish there was some way to do this legitimately in the game. Not with game breaking glitches, but some type of end-game boon. It would be fun to watch the true full power of the Dragonborn be unleashed.
For anyone interested in utilizing shouts, I recommend the perk overhaul mod Ordinator, it allows shouts to be scaled with your level, grant you extra buffs and overall make shouting more fun and useful. I also recommend the mod Thunderchild, it adds new shouts that are lore friendly
Plus the mod makes shouts level up speech -- which just makes sense.
@@bwcbiz Indeed! And speech scales up the shouts
Also in the destruction tree there's a perk which buffs your elemental spells depending on the weather buffing up call storm and clear skies for shock and fire spells
There's better mod in my opinion without changing vanila to far with small size, dragon aspect unblocker (no one day cool down dragon aspect), shout scaling magnitude based on unspent dragon souls (so the shout magnitude only work for player) the more you absorb dragon souls the more stronger your voice , or just try creation kit to tweak your shout but all tweaked shouts will effect globally
Thunderchild is extremely overpowered tho since you can swap your health with someone or deal damage based on missing health. But Armageddon tho... Might make an exception
Soul tear was always my fav, killing an enemy with a shout, ripping their soul from their body and trapping it in a gem, and then using their corpse as a subordinate.
I use the infinite shout glitch where you have a bunch of Amulets of Talos equipped at the same time, so I can just walk into a bandit camp and use Soul Tear to instant kill practically everyone there lol
And unrelenting force can be upgraded twice. Once by parthunax and then with a black book. Making it epic
That’s just not fair tho 😆 but very true!
Technically Fire Breath can be upgraded twice too, right?
@@levin_sword8297 your right . It's fun stuff. I think the frost breath to. But unrelenting force is my favorite lol
@@joebloniarz4268 Frost breath gets upgraded once by a black book, It’s Become Ethereal, Fire Breath and Unrelenting force that get paarthurnax word meditations.
@@y0lmz I chose the Become Ethereal upgrade since it can be spammed on cooldown while healing for free. Too strong not to take this one.
Wow, I've been playing Skyrim for years and only just now learned slow time can be used to extend the time of enchanting/smithing potions. There really is always something new to learn!
I’ll admit, I didn’t know until making this vid either! I teach you guys and myself 😆
Yeah me too (kinda shameful really lol)
Yeah, I had never heard this either. Will be great to try in my next game!
I just thought the same. Time to create even more powerful armor and weapons. xD
DAMN! 😆 great new tips here!
I thought Storm Call was a pretty cool shout, it was neat how they gave the dragonborn a shout so powerful it can wipe out a city.
Apparently in canon, Dragonborns can shake entire continents with Unrelenting Force, so technically he could wipe out way more than a city.
I've never really used Storm Call, except for if I'm clearing out large areas which I know for a fact have no allies within (like a Forsworn camp, or that area you're brought to which leads to Sovrengaurde.
@@dripsnake44do NOT let the Dragonborn into Red Mountain💀
@@theterrorofdimensions1326I’m 100% certain you’re meant to use it in skuldafn.

Awesome video bro, this motivated me to try out all the other shouts because after 10 years of playing skyrim I havent even used half of them in combat situations yet. Just unrelenting force and whirlwind sprint 99% of the time
Understandable, since those are the two most obviously useful shouts!
Lv. 1 Clear Skies is actually amazing in combat, since it staggers EVERYTHING (including dragons) and has a 5 second recharge time. Strictly better than Dragonrend for fighting non-Alduin dragons once they land. Only problems are that it only works outside and it's harder to hit multiple enemies with it than Lv. 3 Unrelenting Force. Hardly an all purpose shout but it's hilarious to trivialize Karstaag at level 1 with no skills leveled by spamming Clear Skies and using Storm Atronach staffs.
Yeah, Clear Skies is one underrated shout! Paired with Windshear, it's a rather staggering build 😉
I never knew that. Thanks for the info!
It's also good for kill bird if I rember
@@uiuelite do you rember

Clear skies not only lets you clear the weather, it also breaks the steam attack made by Dwemer Centurions and clears the alduins storm call
When used outdoors it staggers everything, including dragons, with only a 5s recharge time. Trivializes any one-enemy outdoors encounter, but mostly I use it because harmlessly making Paarthanaux dramatically flinch and roar every 3 seconds in the middle of one of his long philosophical speeches is hilarious

What hasn’t been mentioned is that Ice Form is perfect for freezing Lydia when she’s blocking the way by knocking her down so you can step over her and _finally_ get through.
When a follower does that, I find Unrelenting Force is to be the most suitable form of punishment! 😈 but Ice Form is a good alternative 😁
Putting your crosshairs on their face when standing in front of them causes followers to back up
I remember getting softlocked in that one Dawnguard mission with the moths and the Elder Scroll and the tree bark because Serana wouldn’t move from the beginning of the area and I couldn’t progress without her saying some dialogue by the tree. I had to manually “escort” her.
So, let’s just say Unrelenting Force loses some of its charm after hearing it for the 50th time in a row.
😂 damn followers!
I lost count of all the times I had to knock Serana off the towers with Fus-Ro-Dah in the Soul Cairn when she got stuck on the stairs or on upper floors.
You could also run into her. If you run into NPCs (including followers) they stagger a step back. Works wonders when Lydia is again trying to imprison you on a house.
Console commands csn be a lifesaver: moveto player
normally use serana as a follower because she knows how to not yell get down mr. president right as i fire an arrow at some dumb bandit with poor survival instincts however her reanimated undead dont count as once you kill them again they wont get up a third time
This video made me want to reunlock all the shouts in Skyrim. Great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)
Just a tip, I don’t recommend using Disarm on a mage…I used that shout today on a mage and just sat there for a good 20 seconds before realizing that you can’t exactly disarm magic…
I can imagine the mage when you used it 😆:-
You: *shouts
Mage: *surrenders “ah you got me this time, what am I going to do??!”
Mage: *proceeds to throw fireball 🔥
Dragonborn: 😑
😂😂
@@theWelshWizard I can confirm that this is an accurate depiction of what happened XD
yea if anything, the dagger in their right can sometimes distract them from slinging spells if u are close enough
you must have been top of your class at winterhold
Fake news, mages struggle to use spells without arms
Here's my reasons for why Call of Valor should be higher on the list: Harkon is essential, healable and able to kept summoned indefinitely. He's level 30 and knows shouts like Disarm, Dragonrend and Unrelenting Force and has access to Battle Cry, the Nord racial. He is an absolute UNIT of a summon. In combination with a follower, they can take on anything the game has to offer.
To me it’s just a very underwhelming reward for finishing the main storyline. All you get is a new conjuration spell (essentially) which become useless when enemies become stronger than him. The shout takes a solid 2 minutes to recharge, keeping you from using any other shouts. Also, you only have a 1/3 chance of getting hakon to spawn instead of another hero.
A better alternative is the spell “Summon Arniel's Shade” which summons the ghost of Arniel Gane (an immortal ghost wizard with quite powerful spells). It lasts just as long as Call of Valor & costs zero magika to cast. And since it costs no magika to cast, you can instantly replace it if it dies. It’s only downside is that it gives no xp for any interaction.

My most frequently used shouts are Aura Whisper and Ice Form, but Storm Call is among my favorites for sheer entertainment value. It's one of the best at making you feel truly powerful on a level that other mortals can only aspire to, IMHO.
As an aside, it's interesting and gratifying how many of the shouts are prized for their utility rather than sheer destructive power. Any old mage can shoot a fireball, but shouts provide truly unique effects with broad applications.
Shouts are basically like arguments in a debate. Imagine insulting someone so hard, they have to take a break. Or yelling so loudly, time itself takes a break and waits for you.
Yeah Aura Whisper is definitely my most used shout, silent casting detect life/death at a much greater range than both spells can reach. Plus how useful it is inside Dwelmer ruins can't be said enough lol
throw voice always made me laugh because of the lines that get spoken
*Aura* whisper is my most used *shout* 🌌
Well, as a matter of fact, I'm gonna name my top favorite shouts.
1: Dragon Aspect - truly one of the most busted support shouts of all time as it not only improves damage, armor, and thensome, but look positively stunning in design.
2: Elemental Fury - a shout highly underrated in warrior builds, this shout turns any dual wielding warrior into an absolute blender and can kill any target within seconds, sometimes even on legendary difficulty.
3: Slow Time - absolutely busted. This shout definitely gives enemies a run for their money and can do plenty of harm to your enemies. Truly one of my favorites.
4: Unrelenting Force - Why you ask? Well the uploader of the video just explained why. Plus being able to disintegrate enemies with Dragonborn Force perk is nuts.
5: Fire Breath - 1 word to describe: Awesome. Being a true dragonborn is having the ability to spit fire like the other dragon's and personally, I enjoy being able to set my foes ablaze.
I love Whirlwind Sprint because, besides making you run while overloaded, you can also use to sequence break some dungeons or even negate fall damage too
Not forgetting it’s ability to make you phase through a wall if you hold a bowl up against it
i think the cool down makes or breaks a shout, like i don't see anyone using summon dragon in a serious playthrough, outside of the civil war "attack this fort" missions. but unrelenting force will be used again and again.
Summon Durnehviir and Call Dragon can come in pretty useful for your forts as well, but indeed, apart from those rare occasions, the other shouts are generally used more often. Got to love Unrelenting Force! 😁
Look, I know Unrelenting Force is super entertaining, but the cooldown for the third level of it is just a little too long for me to seriously put it in one of the top spots. 25 seconds, sure. Maybe 30. 45? Nah, I could think of more practical shouts to use in its place.
@@theWelshWizard you can actually use the first words of summon durnehviir as a replacement for first word unrelenting shout, it has the same slight knock back effect but only on a 5 second cooldown. It’s amazing when fighting strong enemies and need a quick second to heal or set up for a heavy swing/dual cast.
@@arnox4554 actually if you have 5 amulets of Talos in your inventory then equip them it will be faster to use the third lvl
Yes but if you have bend will you can ride on ohdahhvings back
You forgot to mention that cyclone is the only shout that can penetrate magic wards even with only one word.
Now I shall get back at the wizard pricks for blocking my shouts (mods made it challenging)
A fireball can do the same thing if you don't shoot it directly at the person with the ward but rather at the ground next to them.
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS ON SKYRIM, LEARNED A LOT
Glad to hear it!
Kyne's peace and clear skies are my favourite shouts, simply because I don't want to have to kill the animals and I like to see the night sky
I use Clear Skies too whenever I need to clear out the skies. I hate it whenever I can't see the full sunshine during the day or see the sea of stars and those fancy aurora displays during the night.
Regarding the Whirlwind Sprint Shout, there's a fun little feature on it where you can actually body slam yourself into the enemy, briefly stunning them for a few seconds.
If you have the last Block perk, you can put up your shield and start sprinting then use Whirlwind Sprint as well, crashing into folks and yeeting them noticeably farther than if you would just sprint into them normally. Doesn't always work though sadly for whatever reason but it is quite satisfying and spectacular when it does.
You stagger them. Same can be achieved via regular sprint into an NPC.
17:25 I'm sure it has been said already, but Clear Skies can be used in the first fight against Alduin, to remove his Meteor Storm entirely!
I've been playing this game my whole life and never knew this...... I know what I'm doing later
Wait-theres a meteor storm,, why did I never realize,
It's kinda annoying when he shouts them back though.
@@ChokedOnStupidity because Alduin is so weak that he dies before you notice.
Clear skies is a really op shout, it can stagger any enemy including dragons whenever they breathe fire or whatever and it has a recharge rate of 15s
the random unhinged things happening while you try to record were the chefs kiss
The dragon armor is my favorite one just because I used it on an Argonian and took a screenshot of him standing on a rocky waterfall inside that huge dwarven underground city. It was so breathtaking I'll always remember that in particular from Skyrim as someone that only played it for about 100 hours.
This video took so much effort and is so well done. Deserves more attention
Thank you my friend!
Some interesting things is the shouts can be even more powerful if you use your alchemy leveled potions.
Basically each shout are features for each magic class; Alteration, Illusion, Destruction, Conjuration and Restoration.
For example fire and ice shouts are classed as Destruction so drinking a elixir will amplify the strength for that specific class. Same goes for Slow Time for Alteration and Kyne’ Peace for Illusion.
Is there a reference to what schools each shout belongs to?

For ice form, you didn’t mention the black book ability that lets you hit frozen enemies without them being unfrozen. I think that truly makes it a top tier shout
That's for frost breath, but your point still stands
I feel like if you get the Dragonborn Frost perk, the Ice Form shout becomes obsolete.
ice form is top tier anyway. there is no better method outside of mass paralyze for crowd control.
@@theghostofthomasjenkins9643 but with this it’s even better
I'm so glad become ethereal is that high on the list. Hands down my favorite shout.
Favourite use for me, descending mountains faster than a ⛰🐐 but plenty of other uses for sure!
Gotta love tossing the Dragonborn off a mountain as a ghost boi
Honestly the weirdest fucking decisions for skyrim were when they went "hey how about we make most of this stuff useless ether after a certain level, give it to you late in the game after you have no need for it, or just make these ineffective against half the stuff you would want to use them on in a pinch"
This applies to so many things but ESPECIALLY the shouts that are suppose to be the unique selling point of the game.
The idea behind the ones that only affect low level enemies coming in late is that it gives you the ability to ignore low levelled enemies.
The problem with that idea is that I kill them in one hit and can then ignore them without wasting a soul.
Fire Breath and Frost Breath I am 99% sure, can improve with Destruction Perks.
That's just Bethesdas leveling system. There are plenty other things to say about this game that are bothersome like the low bounties for bandits, bonked resistances and armour, item distribution and enemy scaling etc.
Completely agree. Skyrim feels so neutered in some ways. Shouts could have been really special, but they mostly just feel lame.
I still love summoning storms and Duneviir though lol

Elemental Fury needs to be way higher dude, dual wielding legendary smithed daedric swords with all 3 words means you can drop a dragon priest ludicrously fast, the DPS is real
From the outside looking in the slow time shout has better DPS and can be used with enchanted weapons.
Elemental fury is a ton of fun, and is great to use in conjunction with the orc berserker mode to effectively quadruple your damage, but slow time can do that but faster. Slow time slows by 90%, meaning you can attack 10x faster than your opponent, whereas the elemental fury gives double speed.
I Just hate that ur weapons cant be enchanted, any high level character will be using unique enchanted weapons.
@@jonnil1997 poisons work
Ordinator has a perk for making Dual Weapons faster, using Elemental Fury with that just makes your DPS skyrocket

Kyne's Peace's true utility:
Sending EVERY item in a given map in every direction, regardless of where you're facing since it goes through walls and fires in every direction like an explosion. Best used in Black-Briar Lodge/Manor.
Also, elemental fury: right hand, enchant with paralyze/absorb stamina, or both. You're welcome.
@Bence Szabó Which is why you only enchant the right-handed weapon.

First time watching your channel. Really cool to learn about more of the Shouts. I typically have my handful I use that I cycle through but have no use for most of them so I don't even test them out.
Great work
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed! You may want to consider subscribing for more Skyrim rankings and I’ll also be covering Hogwarts Legacy 😊
I'm so happy you acknowledged Aura Whisper as a good shout. Way too many people sleep on it, even if you only have the first word. Quick cooldown, long range, useful almost anywhere.
I used to love Aura Whisper. I used it all the time because knowing where your enemies are at all times is just too useful. But then my overuse of it eventually caused my character's eyes to glow like a Draugr. I haven't used Aura Whisper since and just stick with Detect Life.
At first I liked this shout but it is kinda pointless once Detect Life/Undead are learned. I guess it is still useful in Dwemer ruins though
Glad you think it's good too! It's just very reassuring to see all life forms, you can then prepare and strategise your next move!
That is strange 🤔 do you have the Unofficial Patch installed? If not, that might fix it
@@theWelshWizard I didn't have USSEP when I encountered the Draugr Eyes glitch, but I have it now that I can finally connect my PS4 to the internet.
It was the first thing I downloaded, and boy what a disappointment it is. When you play Oblivion and ask for recommended mods the UOP is always the first on everyone's list, but USSEP is such a dumpster fire.
It does fix numerous harmful bugs, but it also patches out useful exploits like Necromage Vampires, the Fortify Alchemy loop, Aspect of Terror's +10 to Fire Damage, etc. Thankfully it put Salmon Roe back after being told the high value was intentional.
It also doesn't fix some bugs that have been around forever. Like the Creep Cluster bug that prevents you from harvesting them if you plant them in the garden of your Hearthfire home. (You can still plant them safely in the small single pots inside the greenhouse, just not in the garden or the big long planters.)
It also doesn't touch the Flora Respawn bug which causes ingredients you have harvested to never grow back. If you pick everything in Whiterun, leave, wait 10 days, then come back you will find everything has grown back. But if you leave Whiterun without picking everything a second time and come back, the game will have forgotten that the plants were supposed to be fully regrown and everything will be bare again.
It pisses me off to no end how USSEP doesn't fix that, yet there is a Flora Respawn fix for it which unfortunately isn't available on the PS4.
And the latest USSEP screw up I have found is it breaks Delvin's dialog in a way that prevents him from giving you the Special Jobs. Yeah you read that right, you literally need to disable USSEP if you want to improve the Thieves Guild.
If it wasn't for the genuinely harmful bugs I wouldn't have anything to do with it. USSEP is a fine example of the cure being only slightly better than the disease.
My one pet peeve of shouts is the delay between the first and second word. Many of them would sound better if all three words were said fluidly. Imagine how good Unrelenting Force would sound if it were like the trailer.
Instead of FUS ... RO ... DAH it just goes FUSRODAH. And if you could have multiple shouts at the same time.
The first word is the inhale.
@@SquishyOfCinderdoesn't really sound like it
@@alexpaulyoungthemuso3937 try inhaling while saying fus, that is how it sounds.
@@SquishyOfCinder I did, then I tried saying it normally. Saying it with an exhale sounds closer. This is also disproven by the fact that Fus works as its own shout. Sending a shout outward while inhaling🤦🏿♂
Cyclone is actually one of my favorites, but not for combat.
Usually I pick all the unneeded stuff and put it on a pile.
One Cyclone and all the garbage flys around - much to my enjoyment.
that's why I love Skyrim. I did that in my first home.
One of my favorite Skyrim kill videos uses cyclone. Cyclone, guys up in the air, pickpocket all of his clothes off, dude is dead when he hits the ground.
I really like the aura whisper shout. Helps me tracking down brigands in dungeons
An how useful it is in Dlewmer ruins makes life so much easier when trying to be sneaky
I know I’m a year late but ancillary note:
Elemental fury is broken as hell on survival mode as the debuff from hunger is reversed by elemental fury, turning it into an equal attack speed buff. I can attack five to six times a second with a longsword using this trick if at max hunger. Still hasn’t been patched out this far.
Are you suggesting a Bethesda game might be broken? Surely not!
Kynes peace also becomes much more useful in survival mode: when you've been stuck for half an hour north of winterhold and are at 50 max hp due to the cold, bears are a problem.
Not a lot of people seem to know how meta Clear Skies actually is. When outside, it is basically a free stagger on any target using just the first word, which has 5 seconds of cooldown, it removes the meteor storm from Alduin's boss fight, and essentially allows you to stun-lock enemies with slow attack speed when used in conjunction with power attacks.
This was a fantastic video that describes all of the shouts perfectly. Thank you for making sense of the Thu’um!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 🧙♂️
I love the slow time in VR mode because it’s satisfying as fuck so slow down time, then fire a fuck ton of arrows while the enemy is nearly stopped
J'zargo smiled at the way you said "let it wreak havok."
The Call of Valor shout could've been the one exception to the "third-word only" rule since it'll also summon one of the other two heroes depending on if you use one or two words.
I like the Frost Breath shout the most after getting the upgrade from Party Snacks, turns it into a better Ice Form allowing you to attack your enemies while they are frozen.
Party Snacks 😂 it is very powerful when upgraded tbf!
I think it's not from Poopy Shacks, it's from one of the black books
My favourite shout is Aurora's whisper. I always play khajit with a bow build. I love that I can sneak into a dungeon and have a clear view of where they are espically if I get lost.
Ah, the Fus-Ro-Dah memes of 2011-2012...
Even if some other shouts severely outclass Unrelenthing Force in utility, versatility or effectiveness, I think 1st place is still well deserved, for the memes alone.
Honestly tho, UF has a crap load of utility. It’s not that great against super huge enemies(dragons), but it has helped me so much for instakilling draugr death overlords or bandit chiefs.
@@albinocat there's a few lesser boss encounters that have built in cheese. Like the moonstone mine deathlord in the Markarth area not far from Old Hroldan.

There's also the Ancient Nord Amulet brothers but specifically the bow bro who has a maxed out UF shout, shadow clones, no room to kite the fucker, and did I mention that it takes for fucking ever to get up from that shout?

With "individual shouts cooldowns"-mod shouts actually become useful and it makes your character stronger and more versatile the more shouts you collect, making word collecting lot more rewarding and fun at the same time. I highly suggest the mod for anyone who wants new and very creative approach in combat.
Why isn't that in the vanilla game. Or even better, have it be a Thu'um line of perks that allow for shorter cooldowns (like how magic cost gets reduced) or multiple "active" shouts at the same time (like how two handed casting works or how you can unlock the ability to summon two minions at once)

The clear skies shout is one of the best. With its incredibly fast recharge rate, if you just use the first shout while outside any enemy will be staggered just like the first shout of fus roh dah. So you essentially get a free, quick and safe way to stagger enemies repeatedly. Yes it only works outside but that is where 50% of all combat encounters are.
Another cool thing about clear skies, if your map is heavily clouded use Clear Skies then look at your map most don't realize that the map is rendering in real time with weather and everything this also implies that using a clear skies anywhere on the map clears the Skies over the entirety of Skyrim
I used call dunherviir and call dragon to ride it in at the battle of solitude. Was absolutely breathtaking to wreck them without hardly lifting a finger.
Must have been Odahviing or a mod. Durnehviir doesn’t even register bend will.
The rebellion is funded by the Thalmor, I usually fight with the imperials.
I am so glad Become Ethereal ranked so highly. It's literally the only shout I ever use for the reasons mentioned, but the first level of the shout also has an incredibly broken use. Its recharge seems to be shorter than dragon breath attacks, so you can just keep tanking their attacks without any worry.
Wouldn't you be better off using dragonrend against dragons though
@@BKBK-yo1zz you get the first word of become ethereal very early in the game, so it is great for if you haven’t gotten dragon rend yet. Also if you play on very high difficulties then making the dragon come down doesn’t do you any good since it’ll just kill you instantly, whereas with become ethereal you can just wait for it to come down then tank the dragon breath and kill it form there. It takes longer but it is sometimes the only option.
@@BKBK-yo1zz Not on legendary.
@@MammalianCreature I use dragonrend against dragons on legendary
@@BKBK-yo1zz It makes them land, but it doesn't really have any other use.
I love Soul Tear for my Evil Wizard/Warlock builds. It's basically an even grimmer version of Avada Kedavra with some beneficial side effects. And you get it from an undead dragon in a pocket realm of eternal misery. It's just the Dark Magic thuum
Funny thing. The Bloodskal Blade's energy wave does not effect Become Ethereal. You can us le it while immune to damage.
my favorite shout is cyclone because it easily knocks down all enemies in front of you and does decent damage. It's unrelenting force but makes them more readily available to start hacking at
I like it because Lydia gets sent to the stratosphere.
Slow time for me. Best combat shout by far and one of the best shouts overall, since using just the first word is actually better than using the whole shout, which indirectly turns Slow time the fastest shout to cast and it has very little cooldown (one word cooldown, rather than a full shout cooldown).
@That clone trooper in the back on the high ground It's unrelated xD
Slow Time becomes even more useful if you use the infinite shout glitch that makes you have no cooldown whatsoever since I think the more words of the shout you use, the faster you can move in the slowed time (you actually get close to normal speed, and you could also use Elemental Fury while Slow Time is active, making you able to take down really tough enemies in what would be just 5 seconds in real time in the game.) and the slower enemies move. You practically become David from Cyberpunk Edgerunners lol
Not to mention if you use an weapon enchanted with absorb health, you could more rapidly deplete your enemies health while increasing your own. Either straight up kill, or weak enough to be finish off.
