It has the unique property of staggering any enemy it hits, letting you stun-lock targets with rapid attacks. When Windshear can't be used to strike targets, you can use a Chain Lightning staff to stun targets from afar, letting you close the gap to stun-lock them. If you want to attack even faster, equip a non-enchanted dagger in your left hand and use the Elemental Fury Shout.
You'll be able to attack at lightning speeds, turning even the toughest enemies into harmless ragdolls. Fans of Skyrim know of this build , combining the high damage of Archery with the absurd Stealth damage bonuses Sneaking grants. Few builds can match the damage output of this build. Stealth Archers invest heavily in the Sneak and Archery trees to scale their damage.
Unlike most builds, this build has fantastic damage that gets multiplied by massive Stealth damage multipliers. Better yet, having a high Stealth rating allows you to stay concealed during the toughest of encounters, preventing enemies from attacking you since they can't see you.
The main flaw with this build is how long it takes to get going, making it somewhat annoying to level for the first few hours. Once you get better sneak multipliers and bows, this build can one-shot virtually every enemy in the game. Taking much of what makes Stealth Archers broken, Illusion Assassins are stealth characters that are more focused on using spells and daggers than bows.
Rapid dagger strikes can gain the stealth damage multiplier, making them stronger than bows can ever hope to be. Since you also invest in Illusion, you have the ability of frenzying every enemy in a room into fighting each other, letting you clear dungeons without so much as raising a weapon.
For dragon fights, you can use Marked for Death and rapidly strike the enemy from behind to kill them in seconds.

Domain: Honeyside. Your going to want a light and quick follower that can keep up with this character, one with high ranged damage to supplement your deadly Block and One Handed skills. His shield in one hand, Restoration in the other may sound unorthodox, and it certainly is, but with the Respite perk in the Restoration tree allowing you to heal your stamina , this gives you relatively unlimited shield bashing.
Smash those enemies into submission, Disarm them with a Power Bash , leaving them helpless. Send them flying off cliffs and walls with your shield charge , or buff your Follower as they take care of business.
It takes a bit of strategic thinking, but it's a very fun build. Domain: Castle Dour. Follower: Lydia. A well rounded follower will suit this character well, keeping up defense as well as offense and never becoming a liability. Level: 59 Race: High elf Play style: This nimble hybrid is efficient with all enemies, mixing ranged Destruction with the finesse of swordplay.
Atronachs are your best friend, as you can bathe the battlefield in fire, frost , or shock without fear of hurting them. Summon a minion into the fray like a Mage would, and fire Destruction into the midst, or cast a Cloak spell and jump in yourself. Dance around your enemies, casting Wall spells on the floor, damaging them further.
Light Armor means you can keep the distance with a powerful enemy, or close the distance, for a melee execution. Domain: Thalmor Embassy , Barracks. A Follower who stays back and out of the danger zone would be best. If you need to take the field and be a melee aggressor, you can, or you can hang back and let atronachs take the heat. Name: Vampire. Level Race: Dark Elf Play style: The Vampire is a nightstalking, flesh-eating nightmare that will make you think the world is collapsing around you, before closing in to suck the life from your bones.
He is a master of Illusion and stealth , and can raise the dead to assist him. With these he confuses, weakens, and closes in for the kill. The most spectacular method being a Fury spell , followed by raising the first ones to fall. An equally efficient method would be to simply walk in, Calm everyone, and casually slit their throats one by one. Neither being necessary, of course, as your natural Stealth is enough to render any situation your playground. Domain: Reachcliff Cave. As a stealthy character, you'll want to go it alone most of the time.
Necrotic thralls will do the job if need be. Level: 40 Race: Argonian Play style: Trained in witchcraft and stealth since the day of his hatching, this assassin uses Illusion to lead unwary prey into traps and other devious and cunning methods of dispatch. You may want to use Fear to loosen up the ranks if you are discovered, and Destruction magic for the majority of your offensive power , with dual daggers incase someone gets close.
Otherwise you can Sneak about and cut throats as much as the enemy allows. Poisons can be placed into the pockets of enemies to prepare for open combat , while potions enhance your already superhuman abilities. Domain: Abandoned Shack. Stealth being your main imperative, going it alone will usually reap the best results. For those times when combat does break out, poisons and potions will be your savior, while your exploits in the Dark Brotherhood can earn you a daily Power , Summon Spectral Assassin , which can undoubtedly tip the scales, if you'll forgive the pun.
They wear only light cloth due to the scorching heat of their desert homeland, and prefer curved swords to shred their enemies to ribbons. You will need both Alteration and Restoration to protect yourself from the mortal injuries of open combat on Master Difficulty, but the Alik'r are not only Warriors, but assassins as well. A proficiency in Sneak allows you to infiltrate and secure strategic positions, before opening up combat. And when you do, make sure you are quick and aggressive.
Don't get cornered, do the cornering. Domain: Vlindrel Hall. Follower: Faendal. This is a character with no ranged capabilities, so naturally, you'll want to fill in that gap with a ranged-focused follower, but with a bit of the One-Handed that you have, and the Sneak as well, so he can stick by your side as you infiltrate, slaughter an outpost of close quartered enemies, and set up shop with him at an overlooking position while you lead enemies into his ambush.
Level Race: High elf Play style: The Telepathic is an opportunistic thief who enhances his abilities with illusion magic. A master of the mind, he can confuse or calm even the most powerful enemies. And with Invisibility, and Lockpicking if you need it, he can infiltrate just about anywhere. He can also see enemies before they see him with Detect Life, and distract them with Telekinesis objects flung into their face.
Domain: Cellar Anise's Cabin. Gear : Master Robes of Illusion- Regen. Level: 49 Race: Breton Play style: The demonic patron of Mehrunes Dagon, this beast is unstoppable in nearly any given situation. Fully adorned with the armor of Daedra, and wielding a massive two-handed blade, he is already a force to be reckoned with. Add a mastery of Conjuration to call demonic brothers from Oblivion, and maybe a Follower with a Sanguine Rose, and you are at the head of a small army of matching awesomeness.
Few things are more badass than four fully armored Dremora heading into battle at your side. Domain: Shrine to Mehrunes Dagon.
You'll want a Two-Handed follower, of course, to match you and your Dremora comrades. Level Race:Nord Play style:Pure warrior, with every option to meet an enemy on the battlefield. Enemy with a shield? Smash it to pieces with a war hammer, leaving them open. Forsworn dual wielders getting on your nerves?
Put up your shield and charge them down! Two Handed enemies a little powerful? Duck in and out with dual swords for quick strikes without taking hits from slower opponents. Kind of like a rock-paper-scissors sort of thing. Domain: Cracked Tusk Keep. Having a versatile follower serves this build well. Lydia can wield sword and shield, bow and arrow, or a two handed weapon, and can be made to suit any situation, much like the character she follows.
Level: 61 Race: Argonian Play style: An elemental of nature magic and the power of the beast, the Druid is keen in cult magics and blood offerings. He has the power to shapeshift into a Werewolf at any time, and can summon wolf brothers DG while in that form.
You'll be wanting to get in touch with nature with this character, acquiring Lycanthropy at an early level, and only using elemental Destruction magics, Fire, and Frost. Another important feature of this character is the Ritual Stone, which you will use to pick up any wild animals you meet on your way to a destination. It gets to be pretty amusing as you watch four Cave Bears and two Werewolves storming a fort. Domain: Darklight Tower.
Having a follower is not recommended for this build, as most will run in fear if you turn into a Werewolf, and those who don't are melee warriors who will get in the way. Level Race:Orc Play style: The silhouette of my Cleric build, the Sorcerer is a shield-spell caster of the more direct type. Aggression is a key tactic with this character; you will want to initiate combat with an Atronach, followed by subsequent Destruction magic of the same element. Rush in, Shield Charge once you have the perk, disarm any melee opponents with a bash or two, and be sure to bathe the field in Wall spells while you're in there.
If surrounded, use a few potions to top up, engage the Berserker Rage power, and absorb a few shots as you build up a Master Level Destruction spell, obliterating the battlefield even at high levels. Domain: Reachwind Eyrie. Follower: Marcurio.
A ranged follower who can keep flinging spells while you go in for the strategic defense is marvelous to have for this one. A Mage can also supplement with elemental variety and additional atronachs. Level: 47 Race: Dark Elf Play style: A warrior like no other, Arcane Warrior deals in magic, blasting Fireballs and Thunderbolts from range, and rushing in with Bound Swords and Flesh spells for the aggressive measure.
This character works equally well with offensive and defensive tactics, being quick enough in only cloth that he can speed between enemies with a sword in hand or let Atronachs take the hits while he keeps back and fires away.
