Skyrim Battles - Zahkriisos vs. Savos, Ahzidal, Miraak, and more

[@AArrow-]

Man Zahkriisos could fold almost any mage because of his lightning magicka-sapping zap

[@lSlendermaster]

Indeed!

[@Supcharged]

I really really need to see him vs Thoron

[@lSlendermaster]

@@Supcharged I would try if I could update with no issues 🤷

[@schmittywobberganggermanson]

Savos almost killing a Dragon Priest is insane considering he is like a baby compared to Master Neloth lmao

[@lSlendermaster]

He can keep up with Neloth, but not according to Neloth himself 😆

[@Supcharged]

A younger Savos Aren couldn't even kill Morokei.

[@samuelele]

@@lSlendermasternobody can, according to Neloth😉

[@lSlendermaster]

@@samuelele Gotta love Neloth's ego 😂

[@filipvadas7602]

1. Mages: *breathe* Zahkriisos: "Haha, lightning go *BRRRRR* " 2. I don't know what's more impressive: The fact that Miraak beat him with no Dragon Aspect or that he still had magicka to spare after being peppered with lightning for over a minute straight

[@lSlendermaster]

1. BRRRRRRR 😆 2. Dragon Aspect doesn't do much for Miraak (much different than with the player), but I was surprised he had magicka left too! Miraak at level 150 is no joke 😂

[@RtoonCa]

​@@lSlendermasterCan you tell me how it differs?

[@lSlendermaster]

@@RtoonCa It doesn't increase Miraak's damage in any way. It does increase his armor rating and fire resistance (not frost resistance), but those don't matter against Zahkriisos. I'm pretty sure it also doesn't affect his shout cooldowns because they already have a default recovery of 5 seconds. So Miraak is actually better off not wasting his time with that shout here 😄

[@RtoonCa]

@@lSlendermaster Unofficial Patch fixes frost resistance. "Dragon Aspect was not providing the specified frost resistance due to the 2nd AV Weight setting on DLC2DragonAspectBody02Effect being set to 0 instead of 1"

[@lSlendermaster]

​@@RtoonCa Ahh, I didn't know that specific, interesting. 🤔 Thanks for the info! I don't use the unofficial patch because it changes too much and it's not available anymore for Skyrim SE anyway (which is what I'm playing). I could probably fix it myself but Miraak's frost resistance is high enough already in my opinion 😂

[@Supcharged]

Savos aren honestly got surprisingly close being a mage, although his dremora lord did a lot of help

[@lSlendermaster]

Yup, his shock resistance really helped him out here!

[@PsychicAlchemy]

He probably would have done it if the AI had been smarter.

[@Supcharged]

@@PsychicAlchemy nah, he’s way down on stats in every single way.

[@PsychicAlchemy]

@@Supcharged Yeah, but he was doing great while the lighting cloak was still active, and then he switched to the fire cloak like a dummy.

[@antiochrecords9283]

This video is interesting indeed. Zahkriisos vs. Ahzidal fight - Zhkriisos "lemme give you a head start buddy" 🤣😂🤣😂. As with all undead, a good power attack ever so often will defeat them, just like the frost giant.

[@lSlendermaster]

Exactly! 😂 And that round shows how powerful Frost Giants really are!

[@RevanSTARKiller47]

Wow. Very interesting that the Lurker lost to him, while the Frost Giant won. That charging smash attack of the Giant really won him the fight being able to cover ground quickly and put that heavy stagger on Zahkriisos. The Lurker just doesn't have as much staggering ability, and that cost him the fight, despite having signifcantly more health and regeneration. That fight with the Nightlord was super close. I'm curious if you ran any tests with the Nightmaster and if the results were any different. Very nice video as always Slender. I always look forward to your videos on the weekend.

[@Supcharged]

The lurker doesn't have a sprinting power attack. The mage backing away actually makes it worse because it will trigger's a giant's sprinting power attack.

[@lSlendermaster]

I found that interesting too, but after thinking about it, there are quite a few reasons why the Lurker lost but the Frost Giant didn't. Even though the Lurker has a lot more health, his regeneration gets disabled during Zahkriisos' attack, so it hardly matters. The Lurker's magic resistance is also lower than the Frost Giant's, and his damage is as well. If he had not gone after the Seeker and focused on Zahkriisos at the beginning, like the Frost Giant did, he would have had a better chance. And of course, as both of you are saying, the stagger matters a lot! I haven't tested a Nightmaster, but a Breton would probably win more consistently than the Nightlord. It's hard to tell though because it would probably still be a very close result and would need dozens of tests for an accurate outcome. 😅 Thank you very much, great that you're having fun! 😎

Zakhriisos: UNLIMITED POWEEEERRRR

[@lSlendermaster]

THE REAL SITH LORD 😆

[@brandonmorris7211]

I wonder how this would go if a bunch of the priests faced bigger opponents.

[@Supcharged]

Zahkriisos Azhidal Dukeen beat Ebony Warrior.

[@brandonmorris7211]

@@Supcharged I wouldn't doubt it. But them against one of the modded behemoths? I'd have to bust out the popcorn for that one.

[@Supcharged]

@@brandonmorris7211 The thing with these modded behemoths is that they are typically weak to one element. The priests have that covered.

[@lSlendermaster]

@@brandonmorris7211 The dinosaurs?

[@lSlendermaster]

@@Supcharged Good point!

[@HJHWolf]

I wonder if Ildari can stand against it. She can fight even when she lost magicka with her staff so I think she can do better than most mages.

[@lSlendermaster]

I have done this already! 😎 Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bISQlGRvl9R5ZtE

[@Supcharged]

The seeker performed so well with the lurker I just realised

[@lSlendermaster]

I wasn't expecting Zahkriisos to win that! 😂

[@olegd3860]

Zahkriisos: 'unlimited power'!

[@lSlendermaster]

The real Sith Lord! 😆

[@batas7261]

You can prepare corpses for Ahzial and vampires. After all, controlling corpses is also part of summoning spells.😂

[@lSlendermaster]

I could, but I don't like modifying the battles this way. I want them to fight as naturally as possible, without me giving them an advantage by manually selecting which NPCs they can resurrect. After all, there are no corpses in the room normally. 😄

[@MiraakPrimeiroDragonborn109]

Esses Sacerdote dragão das DLC são poderosos hein 😮

[@lSlendermaster]

Very powerful! 😎

[@modemm56]

[@lSlendermaster]

The Force is strong with this one!

[@Supcharged]

Their physical resistance is really weak

[@lSlendermaster]

Very! 😂

[@Browncurse]

How strong is the creepy traveler vampire?

[@lSlendermaster]

Good question! He's leveled, and can spawn as a Nightmaster Vampire at best (although without a melee weapon), which I think is ridiculous considering he slays half of the towns on a regular base 😂

[@howboutdemap1es225]

If Zahkriisos had a shout attack like the other 2 priests he’d be a next level threat. I know you’ve put the 3 Solstheim priests up against the ebony warrior but have you done it against Karstaag or a legendary dragon yet?

[@lSlendermaster]

I haven't done that and probably won't. 😅 Putting them against Karstaag would be very unbalanced because it would depend entirely on who Karstaag focuses on. If he goes for Ahzidal first, he wins because Dukaan can't do any damage to Karstaag, and Zahkriisos can't even overcome Karstaag's regeneration rate. If Karstaag goes for Ahzidal last, he will probably lose but it would be a boring fight with Dukaan doing nothing but floating around, and Zahkriisos hardly doing any damage either. A legendary dragon would lose very easily. As for solo fights, the fire version is weak to frost, and Dukaan beats him.The frost version is weak to fire so Ahzidal would do well too. Zahkriisos in a 1 vs. 1 is different because he would disable the dragon's breath attack, so he could only go for melee, which again would be a very boring fight with the dragon just flying around, not being able to attack. And when he lands, it will be difficult for him to catch up. So nope, I probably won't put something like that in a video 😅

[@Supcharged]

I know it's not "fair", but can miraak at level 60 still win?

[@lSlendermaster]

Probably not consistently. I guess only from very rapid power attacks. I'll see if I can test it 🤔

[@lSlendermaster]

[@CallumDT]

It looks so powerful but its so weak. I wish it did the same as the master spell! Does Zakrosis usually beat azidal!!!!!?

[@lSlendermaster]

It should be a bit stronger but not as strong as the player version. That would be OP, especially considering his resistances. 😂 Yes, because Ahzidal needs a lot of magicka for his spell, and he doesn't have a summon

[@paulminotti77]

Make a tournament fight with all dragon priests

[@paulminotti77]

Against each other

[@lSlendermaster]

@@paulminotti77 That would cause more bugs than I can count, and even without that, it would take a long time for most rounds. 😂 I've already put the strongest Dragon Priests against each other anyway
