Skyrim Endgame builds

Builds for the level cap and the hardest content. They come together late: less a day-one loadout, more a goal worth building toward.

Or start from scratch in the Character Build Planner and share your build.

  • 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.

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

byAsimpleguest

An sneaky argonian leeching with drain spell, shouts and poison runes toying with his prey until it decide to became a tormenting force using knockbacks, bleeding and poisons so potent that they will reduce the poor prey to ashes if not cautious. When the prey die, the toxic komodo will eat it nourrishing and reinforcing himself until he found his next prey.

Need the improved atronach glitch, to permit unlimited leeching and reinforce his low magickal.

Neutral hunter. Disinterested with dragon threat (don't got to Bleak Falls Barrow after warning Whiterun about Helgen). Travel to hunt and clear bandit camps. Join Companions and Dawngaurd. Respects Hircine and Kyne (do the exploit in Hircine's quest for both of his artifacts). Focus on building homestead (Lakeview Manor is best). Although a follower of the GreenPact in Valenwood, this does not apply to Skyrim.
