The Phantom Blade [Skyrim Anniversary Edition Necromancer Build]

[@Skypothesis]

With a total of 30 pure vanilla builds across 5 seasons, we've decided to shift our focus to Anniversary Edition builds, as it is quickly becoming the new standard for players (even on Switch!) We will be posting these builds at an "as completed" rate, and are excited to share them with you!

[@Odi_GO]

Love it! I bought the anniversary edition a week ago so this is perfect, and this version of the game gives u more freedom to create a build right at the beginning. (I have a suggestion: the Shadowrend axe/sword gives u a quest to defeat ur own shadow in order to get the axe/sword. This could be an awesome final objective of a build for a bad character that decides to became good and let his past behind but he needs to defeat his own shadow in order to be forgiven for his bad path. The shadowrend have a similar visual effect of the ebony mail too 😉)

[@smooth_sundaes5172]

I got on its release but some of it I'm not very keen on but I expected that. Pick and choose what suits a build seems about right

[@skyrole455]

Yesssssss

[@merentori]

Yee

[@Vodosvinka42]

Please still do Pure Vanilla, but whenever you feel like it. As a Switch user under 18 I can't get AE until the upgrade releases physically.

[@ryhi5]

Now if only it was possible for the Phantom Blade to kill Delphine and resurrect her as a thrall. Then Delphine would actually be useful!

[@Skypothesis]

😂😂

[@mjrtaurus2714]

Call that character development

[@duanerestivo9957]

Very eerie … interesting … creative build. Really subverted my expectations, drawing me in slowly. Well done.

[@michealjackson500]

Ritual Stone with aetherium crown I think

[@Theonlylordischrist]

I feel like this ebony blade fits this build so well I mean it's a katana and it's fits role-playing I can see her betray 10 friends to increase her own power

[@Blackjack-sr7mt]

Now this is going to be interesting to play, a group formerly known for honour, being revived (I guess) by a neutral evil character.

[@pancakes4193]

OMG a swordbased necromancer??? This is going to be VERY interesting!

[@pancakes4193]

I was at least right that this is going to be a moreso eviler build in contrast to the prior two necromancers! Coincidentally I'm doing a similar build right now with a corrupted vigilant- taking advantage of another AE armor set as well in the Corrupted Enforcer Armor! Yet in contrast to the Phantom Blade my build is heavily defensive and takes advantage of Restoration *and* Heavy Armor to be an undying tank while their own undying minions clobber their enemies.

[@TheRoguePrince0]

You can get the blades armor&weapons early in the dawnfang quest included in the anniversary edition.

[@Skypothesis]

Good to know!! You can get kitted out asap then :)

[@oggolbat7932]

Using the Blades recruitment system to equip your thralls was very clever, and having an army of Blades at tour disposal looks amazing. An on top of that, NO CRAFTING. P.D: You can use the bolar Blade as your right hand weapon when not de fighting dragons, and still use Elemental Fury if your left hand weapon is unenchanted.

[@zephyr835]

Yes, good point! I forgot to mention Bolar's Oathblade in my general thoughts, but it would totally fit and it wasn't used for the Imperial Spectre either.

[@-Thunder-Warrior-]

Stepping over the body of the final Penitus Oculatus Agent to approach the Emperor... "Is This what you replaced us with?"

[@nathanieltillman2355]

Wasn't sure about the Burning Barbarian but after watching the vid about 30 times he really grew on me. Wasn't sure about the Wood Orc ( Batman of Skyrim) again after 30 watches he is a badass build. Loved the DawnKnight and after 30 vids.......still do, Now there is a Phantom Blade who like the others is badass! you guys really push the limit and show there is still so much to offer from the greatest game ever made. Seriously since 2013 I have had Skyrim installed on something continuously and play it at least once month.......or until you guys make a new interesting build. I tweak them to fit my idea's but damn you really got me thinking out of the box these days, thank you and keep doing what you do.

[@mikec.9307]

AE builds already?! And a no-crafting party build to kick them off?! And another 10/10 aesthetic?! I thought Christmas was last week. 😍

[@chrisanders713]

It's the Christmas season!

[@GailOlm]

As always, I loved the lore and backstory! Since most of us probably don't kill Paarthurnax, I like how you gave her a "reason" to do so which fits in with her backstory and unhinged mental state. Though she learned some moves from The Bone Shepherd, it's interesting to see their difference approaches to the use of necromancy. There's so little focus on the Blades, I liked seeing The Phantom Blade's story focus on them. A unique character to be sure!

[@michaellopes1653]

I learned a fantastic tip for always finding your thralls. If you start Silenced Tongues and equip them each with Eduj and Okin, you can toggle the quest on whenever you need to see the Quest markers. This is great for leaving the bodies out of town, or if a Giant sends one of them into space. Credit to Mason from Tamriel Vault, he had a similar build to this called Rise of the Fallen.

[@AxelCdRm]

That's a genius idea !

[@Benkinjo9419]

I too like to play skyrim over and over again with different characters and backstorys. But not in a million years could i ever have imagined such a badass character. The thought alone, to kill off your troups and raise them so that they cant talk back, absolutely amazing 😂👍 This is my favourite video on youtube now.

[@zephyr835]

10:29 Her version of not looking at explosions. 😎 Initially, I felt like this wouldn't be my thing. But as I thought about it, I liked it more. I think it's helpful to consider that the Phantom Blade wouldn't see what she does as evil or otherwise wrong. Heck, she might even be fairly laid-back and amiable, in her own way. I also like that what the game has you do is fitting for her, because she already has the ego for it. Where the Smuggler makes for a nice contrast in that regard, this character just leans into it completely. I think she could also join the Dark Brotherhood. She has no qualms about murder, and this would give her opportunities, for instance, to 'charge' Dawnfang/Duskfang. Killing the Emperor is fine since he effectively disavowed the Blades, and doesn't have the dragonblood anyway. One of the Initiates could be taken as the 'living' follower, and (hopefully) equipped with Blades armor since they can't actually be recruited. The backstory link to the Tsaesci is really cool, and with the aforementioned ego, I could see the Phantom Blade also emulating Potema to some extent. The civil war questline could be fun, too; I've been wanting to go through those battles as a necromancer for a while.

[@LoboTheHunter87]

This is an interesting concept, a corrupted blade who is loyal to her faction and doesn't let anything get in the way of achieving her goals, even if it means suffering a few raised eyebrows to execute her will, another great story you have written for your library, I can't wait to see what comes next!! Bravo!

[@-Mushroom_Kid-]

I like this build a lot it’s an interesting take on the blades, speaking of which since I notice you guys find small little sentences throughout the lore or games and run with it for build ideas like with your argonian arch mage I thought you guys would appreciate this on the blades lore: “The group that would one day become the Blades was formed out of one of the several splinter factions of the Akaviri Dragonguard after they disbaned in disgrace following the assassination of Emperor Reman III. Seeking redemption, this remnant would abandon their identities as Dragonguard and would search Tamriel for a potential candidate to take the Ruby Throne, with several seeking different methods of life extension such as vampirism in order to see this mission through.”

[@JT76912]

Skypothesis always has the most refreshing builds. My favourites from them are the Dark Magician and the Whiteskull Captain.

[@dementedmonkey1734]

This is quite possibly one of my favourite Skyrim builds. Love the presentation, the story, the roleplay and the gameplay. I need to try this! Great work!

[@Slyder2973]

I love these vanilla armor combinations just for that i watch it alone. Also you guys should try the Amber armor set with the redoran watchmen helmet. you'll have a shroom warrior of sorts!

[@astercat49]

This is a very interesting idea for a necromancer. I’ve never actually killed Paarthurnax before, mostly because it’s one of the single stupidest things you can do in Skyrim, but approaching it from the viewpoint of a total nutcase with absolutely zero morality would definitely make sense. Even all of my more evil characters never killed Paarthurnax. Granted, I never finished most of those playthroughs because I’m weird and actually get bored of playing the bad guy. Anyway, great video as always!

[@Skypothesis]

Exactly why we made her a total nutcase - siding with the blades and killing him just doesn’t make sense. Buuuut we wanna explore everything we can in these builds sooo 🤷‍♂️

[@gelatoonconsole8960]

This is so refreshing! To see deeper take on the typical ‘honour bound blade samurai’. You guys really make me look forward to fridays.

[@DelisiaTorrez]

Here from Skyrim Grandma's recent video!!! Your characters really impressed her. :)

[@Skypothesis]

It makes us so happy that she enjoyed them!!!

[@phillipodom3769]

I came across this Hood at a high level in Hobbs fall cave

[@Odi_GO]

The blades armor can be found early in the game in the sewers of Riften during the anniversary edition quest for the sword that changes according to the day/night time (I forgot how it's called lol)

[@Skypothesis]

Whaaaaat the more you know!

[@Odi_GO]

@@Skypothesis I'm diving deep on all anniversary content lol there's a ton of cool items and way more freedom to get good items right at the beginning to make your builds almost complete from the start of the game. Almost all the new armors are available at lvl one, even some weapons too, which is great to avoid annoying grinding just to dress ur character in a cool fashion 🤣 (not to mention the amazing enchantments that comes with some of this weapons and armors)

[@moviemaniacdjp]

@DrigoLyrio I used that to my advantage with my newest build. He's a typical two handed wielding nord but his backstory is that his father had been killed while fighting the stormcloaks and they were unable to give him a burial. My character went to find his father's body and bring him back. Using the "attacked and left for dead" option in the alternate start mod I role-played that he was attacked near Arcwind. The same place where his father died while wearing the insulated dragon mail armor and wielding the Swordof Ancient Tongues (an armor and sword passed down through my character's family for generations). (The sword is a separate mod I've been using in my playthroughs for awhile)

[@Fierygundam3325]

The blade is called dawn and dusk blade you have to kill a man who was once a blade

[@siervodedios5952]

Dawnfang, yes.

[@ethanhahn6248]

This is a really neat build. I actually started working on my own character after discovering your channels build. It's still a work in progress but Its a dark elf female called The Grimm Knight. Outfitted in ebony spell knight armor and the necromancer hood. So far the enhanced dwemer crossbow really fits the vibe . All created from watching your videos! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@lucareali2965]

Loved the references to the Bone Shepard build

[@stephenbesley3177]

The Blades line opens up an untapped world of possibilities. My nature draws me to the other side of the aisle but I can see the possibilities of a semi or totally corrupted Blades type character. Arngirs comment about the Blades being self serving barbarians has always interested me and who is to say there aren't many more under cover somewhere who escaped the Thalmor unbeknown even to Delphine. I even considered a lighter armoured version maybe in Nightingale or the Penitus occulatus armour as a basis. I don't know, just foundationary ideas at this moment. Hope the holiday season is going well for you?

[@itsobsidion6870]

Not gonna lie, I was iffy with this one at first just because I don't play Necromancers much, but I've spent the day making/playing as it and it's actually so much fun. You guys have made me try unarmed, alchemist mages, staff sword and so much more that I hadn't done before. I can't wait to see what other awesome AE builds you come up with using the Creation Club content! 😁

[@Skypothesis]

So good to hear, thanks so much!! Glad you had fun :)

[@lsswappedcessna]

A blade necromancer is a cool idea. Perhaps I will have to try this with Ordinator necromancy.

Thanks guys for all your hard work put into these Builds & Videos. 🥰 I'm currently on Phase 2 of the ninth Priest, but a completionist build get's so exhausting over time. 😮‍💨 Now I've modded Skyrim again with mostly EnaiRim-Mods and the ninth Priest no longer works 😅 So now trying a pure Frost Mage (like Jaina Proudmoore) because it's the most difficult Mage-Spec to play due to Nords having Frost-Resist 😅

Love the no-crafting builds guys. At this point I rarely enjoy grinding crafting skills, particularly alchemy, and it really forces you to be a skilled combatant if u want to raise the difficulty level. Another great build, you’re my favorite build generators!

[@borderlinebear5509]

Ow! I like that concept... I might take inspiration for a Dawnguard build. Maybe a young vigilant who used to dream of becoming a virtuous knight but loses sight of the light after the destrcution of the hall for a more inquisitor approach and wielding Dawnbreaker.

[@Skypothesis]

Thank you!!

[@DracoRift]

The name of the build caught me off guard The name: Phantom blade seemed like an arcane assassin build to me

[@pickles_mcgickle6583]

My most recent build: A high elf raised by high ranking thalmor officials stationed in Valenwood, he sees the folly in the Thalmor leadership and believes his people are lost. He does not hate the Thalmor, and in fact is a devout follower of his peoples favorite god, auriel, but does wish to stop the Thalmor from destroying the empire. He learned some of the skills of the hunter from his wood elf friends as a child, and has combined them with his own magical affinity nurtured by his parents and heritage. Now he goes to Skyrim, seeking to help the empire put down the rebellion, not because he supports the Thalmor but because he believes the empire must remain whole. However, when crossing into the province he gets caught in a skirmish between the empire and the rebels, and is taken to the chopping block where he discovers a far more important path for himself. He is an archer-ranger build with magical affinity. He uses the bound bow, light armor, destruction to deal with crowds(I’m mainly using the new elemental destruction spells), he is learning enchanting at the college of winterhold where he goes to bolster his knowledge to fight alduin at the end of the play through. He also uses mage armor spells, some basic restoration, and of course the slow time shout. He is a battle archer, not a sneak archer, and will lead the fray in any battle, ducking and weaving in between enemies seemingly faster than any mortal should move, showering them with bound arrows. I prioritized the dawn guard first to complete auriels sacred trials, bolstered my magical abilities by becoming arch mage of the college, and then went forth to the greybeards, prepared for the task ahead of me that no other Thalmor would support: saving Skyrim, the empire, and all of Tamriel

Together we can't stop this, but we can participate." Very cool build, I however still have a backlog of *YOUR BUILDS,* and others to finish. If I can stop modding the game every five second.

[@UltravioletArts]

This is an extremely cool concept

[@AxelCdRm]

I thought about this while playing as this character but Lorant Bouchard, the gardian you face at the end of the quest A soul divided, would be a cool thrall for her as he his pretty strong and kicked out with a full set of Blades Armor, so he would be a perfect slave for The Phantom Blade without her having to kill a second follower. Also it's a bit of a shame you dindn't use Goldbrand even if it's not Blades related because it would make her more versatile because of it's fire enchantement. It also fit her aesthetic and roleplay as it's a katana fordged by dragons.

[@Skypothesis]

So good to know about the Blades Armor set in a soul divided. Totally slipped my mind! Goldbrand will certainly be used in the future ❤️

[@efTiglar4500]

Great video and build! A very new take on a blades character. Thank you. I’m still hoping for a full dwemer themed build from your side, by the way… Maybe something with the Dwarven crown from the anniversary edition? All the best!

[@themitochondria9867]

[@cXtotheXj]

May I add that Agent of Mara gives you more magic resistance as well. And I (think) that the Secret of Sorcery also boosts all enchanted gear by 10 percent, though it may just boost it 10 percent when you are enchanting it yourself.

[@matthewtoy4]

Very interesting combination. I agree it's hard to help the Blades all the way as a good character without killing Paarthurnax unless you do it the earliest moment possible pre-Dragonrend. But then there's no real point recruiting if you'll just avoid them after learning Dragonrend to prevent the quest even going into your journal. There always has to be some catch if you were to go all the way. I like the necromancer twist that has you able to use each recruit without mods. The visual of you all mostly in the same gear in a line is really cool. Attacking bandit forts with a squad is always a fun sight.

[@primeemperor9196]

This is a really cool looking build! Definitely something I'd consider playing.

[@mikec.9307]

Oh speaking of the unparalleled torment that is grinding up enchanting, the staff enchanter in Bloodchill Manor has the same XP boost they patched out of Myrwatch’s as long as you haven’t been to Solstheim yet, so it only takes 9-10 staves to get to 100. Not sure if the heartstones you can grab in Myrwatch respawn or are available anywhere else w/o going to Solstheim but it’s worth duplication glitching not to have to enchant 200 damn daggers every playthrough lol.

[@roycross6182]

For the Special Move I found myself mixing together Marked for Death and a Frenzy spell of some kind. Role-playing it as the Phantom Blade uses her influence over others to attack a target she marked for death. Often using this on Higher Level enemies who are surrounded by others or when she wanna make a point to display her power against a weaker enemy.

Don't know if all things are possible, but if there are mods, here some ideas to boost this build: -Ritual Stone, so the Avengers Assemble - Little bit of crafting - Craft gear for Follower/Minions (as Tanky as possible) - Get 2 Followers at the same time, so they are on equal level when turned into Thralls (Mods) - Make sure Minions/Followers keep their crafted gear (Mods???) - Master Illusion for Call to Arms (AoE Team Buff) - Modded Spells (for example a Spell, which restores X points of Health per Second for Y Seconds) - Pick Followers/Thralls of Races with a Natural Resistance for Dragon Fights (Breton would be the Best, Nord and Dunmer are equal if you put the other Resistance on Items, but Nord are better for Roleplay) - Defense Enchantments for your Followers: Resist Fire, Resist Frost, Resist Shock, Resist Magic, Fortify Health, Regenerate Health, Fortify Block. If you have room for other Enchantments: Fortify Onehanded, Fortify Stamina, Regenerate Health - Black Book Buffs (there is one so you can't Kill your minions/followers, don't know how it affects the Battle Fury Shout and Target/AoE Spells you apply on Minions Like Heal, Call to Arms, etc)

[@MeTaLISaWeSoMe95]

My most recent playthrough was Rodane, The Breton Vigilant. Rodane was born the second son of a wealthy Breton noble. Knowing he would never inherit his father's position or wealth, he set out to make of his life whatever he could. For 2 years he walked Tamriel, looking for a place to call his own. He traveled to the sands of Hammerfell and the swamps of Blackmarsh. He fought for kings and paupers, always seeking to do that which he believed was right. When he finally made it to Skyrim, Rodane came across 3 Vigilants hunting a Daedra worshiper who had murdered citizens in Falkreath. The 3 had tracked the man down to his lair, but were outmatched. 2 had been badly wounded while the third had been trapped in the cave, holding their enemy at bay while the others escaped. Rodane immediately jumped into action. He ran deep into the cave, where he found the third Vigilants drained corpse. The daedra worshiper was no mere man, he was a dangerous and powerful vampire. Rodane was ill equipped to handle such a foe, and was swifly knocked to his back. As the light of his torch went out, Rodane was left in the dark. Unable to see his enemy, Rodane thought back to his years of training under his father's retainers. He held his sword in both hands, closed his eyes, and began to listen. He heard the sounds of bats, fhe foot falls of rats, the rush of water. Then he heard steps, fast approaching from the rear. He turned and swung, and sword met flesh. The beast screamed in agony as Rodane's sword bit into its neck. It fell, and Rodane took his chance and began to hack at it. As he gathered his things, Rodane grabbed the amulet of Stendarr from the dead Vigilant and said a prayer for him. The other two had bandaged their wounds, and asked for assistance back to Falkreath. There the two recovered well and offered Rodane the opportunity to join their order. The 3 traveled day and night to the outskirts of Dawnstar, where Keeper Carcette would judge the young knight. Predictably for a man who had slain such a powerful agent of evil, he was granted entry to the Vigilants, where he was given his first task. Reports of Nightmares have come from the town nearby, clearly of daedric origin, and he has been sent to put an end to them. Rodane is a Breton spellsword, using one handed swords and maces and Alteration and Destruction magic in the other hand. He is dedicated to Stendarr and thus shuns conjugation of any sort. He utilizes primarily flame based spells, and will do all of the daedric quests in an attempt to gather and then isolate their artifacts so they cannot be used recklessly. If wanted, you could easily take him in multiple directions. He can become a paragon of knightly virtue, or he may tame a darker path and seek greater strength to defeat his foes. Maybe potentially accepting either the beast blood or even the Vampiric abilities of his enemies so he may better face them (he would do so after completing the Dawnguard side of the quest line).

With the Stalhrim you could do the chaos damage/frost damage enchantment combo as it does so much damage because of the unique trait that means frost enchants are better on Stalhrim, I reckon the Stalhrim mace or warhammer could make for a “cool” aesthetic.
