Battle Breton
Skyrim
Spell-"Axe" 100% Challenge
build
Published

  • Challenge build for a 100% run (more so just do all the major endgame bosses), with the idea of using a pickaxe as the main weapon.
  • Classic alteration power levelling to get to level 80.
  • For my own "enjoyment" but feel free to have a go as well or try and do a slightly different (probably better) build.
