Skyrim Assassin Build: Illusionįirst off - you should use Illusion because it's the most fun tree of magic in the game.īut secondly, it's basically built for assassins. Multiplied by a factor of 15 (from the Sneak tree) adds up. Even if you only take 2 points in it, that's increasing your damage by 40%. They can hold their own, but their expertise is taking out enemies without getting noticed.Īrmsman is critical because it adds so much damage to your sneak attacks. The reason you don't need to invest in anything else is that you're an assassin. Assassins don't do well in melee combat. Armsman is great, but that's the only perk you need to invest in. Let me be clear - you won't be investing many perk points here.
So, yeah - don't ignore Archery! Assassin Build - One-Handed Weapons
Throw a Fury potion on an arrow and watch your enemies mow down the poor soul who got the arrow in his back! Or apply strong health poisons to your arrows to take out a dragon very quickly.
Poison Arrows. You can have a lot more fun with poisoned arrows than you can with a poisoned dagger. Having a bow or crossbow to attack from afar is critical. And even though it's nice to get a stealth attack on one with your dagger, there will be many battles where you won't have that luxury. Even though a high enough sneak score will eventually let you sneak up for a dagger strike, killing beasts from far away is very useful early game. Take out animals: Animals tend to hear/smell you better while sneaking than other enemies. Taking them out without getting close puts you in less danger. Whittle down groups of enemies from afar: It's difficult to sneak up on a group of 2-3 enemies, as they have a wider range of view. Here are a few reasons why you need to invest in Archery: While it is more satisfying to sneak up behind a baddy and slit their throat, that isn't always an option. Pick one you like, and move on! Skyrim Special Edition Assassin Build: Archery The extra magicka buff that High Elves boast is nice if you plan on using Illusion (which you should). Nords have Battlecry, which help them get out of a jam. Pick based on racial ability, not stats: The night vision that Khajit can use is nice if you install lighting mods. 
But if you love something else, just go for it.
Pick your favorite race: Love Argonians? Cool - getting assassinated by a lizard would be kinda scary. If you don't necessarily care about the starting stats, I have two recommendations for how you should choose your race: But since every race can max out every skill, it all evens out at the end. Wood Elves get a starting bonus to Archery, and Khajits get a starting bonus to Sneak. Skyrim Assassin Build Race: Wood Elf or Khajit (or Whatever You Want) Let's say you want to create the most powerful assassin possible. But let's forget about roleplaying for a minute.
