Unarmed Mage
Skyrim Ebonyflesh Unarmed with QOL Axe build
Endgame
Published
by@sarahfortuna

Mage Armor reliant in getting Armor stat up with Heavy Armor Unarmed perk for more Unarmed damage.

You can change One Handed to archery or whatever, but it’s with the intent of punching while casting greater ward spell with ebony flesh/mage armor+dragon aspect+lord stone armor for max unarmed damage and free spells.

Atherial Crown has ritual stone for zombie horde spam, but anything with the lord stone will work.

There's 100 ways to break Skyrim, so we focus on QoL

  • Grind your crafting for max damage
  • Armor for fashion, since armor cap is easy to hit
  • Unenchanted weapon, damage is absurdly high, so we just use Elemental Fury for fun
  • Restoration for quick heals and stamina refill, saves you space on potions and menu navigation
  • Defenses and damage easily viable for Legendary difficulty

This is my first time trying to do a some-what op build in the game Originally, this was going to be a Battlemage but during the mid-game I was getting tired of being destroyed. So, I change my plans and made the Frost Spellsword Two notes: this build was made in the special edition version and it didn't use any mods from the creation club (or any mods for that matter) and the whole playthrough was in Master difficulty
