What is your favourite unique weapon? *FAQs* 👇 Q: Isn't the Bow of Shadows the best bow in Skyrim, why wasn't it mentioned? 🧙‍♂: Yes, it has the fastest draw speed of any bow, can be upgraded and makes you invisible. It wasn't mentioned in this video as I restricted it to vanilla weapons only. Q: Why didn't you include weapons from the anniversary edition? 🧙‍♂: Not everyone has the Anniversary Edition and I wanted to be inclusive for y'all :) Q: How is the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls the most overpowered unique battleaxe? 🧙‍♂: It's the only unique battleaxe that comes with an enchantment that can be upgraded. In other words, it's the best of a bad bunch and you can disenchant it for use on your own weapons if you wish.

[@sk8rdman]

The real strength of the Battleaxe of Fiery Souls is that it's one of the few unique weapons who's enchantments you can actually learn. This not only means that you can put it on any other weapon you craft, but with the double enchantments perk you can also couple it with another potent effect like Paralyzing to stun, burn, and soul trap your enemies all at once with a single weapon. Honestly, the enchantment and smithing skills are so good that none of the unique weapons in the game can really keep up. I at least appreciate that some have unique enchantments that can't be crafted, so they can be fun to play around with, but they're still usually outclassed by crafted weapons.

[@alexlarson5910]

Another thing about the shrine to dagon is that when you get the razor every 4 in game days you can farm daedric hearts, about 4 of them each farm. Remember to go in the shrine itself for the other two hearts.

[@Dw7freak]

I think the best part of the Fiery Souls enchantment is that when applying it to another weapon, the scaling isn't for the fire damage but the Soul Trap duration. By minimizing that, you have an almost infinite charge Soul Trap weapon.

I love the mace of what his face and the stunning sword. I hope next game has a system like Spellsword mod, where you can enchant a sword to lighting strike a target you hit. Then have unique stuff like a grand cut out for the dual wield pirate blades or the mace suckingthe life out the target to weaken them.

[@Rodiacreed]

Champion's Cudgel has got to be here. The chaos enchantment is the best for combat as it has a chance to deal lightning, fire and ice magic all at the same time. I disenchanted it and put the enchantment on a stahlrim sword as stahlrim makes the enchantment stronger.

[@thefattertheratter45]

[@Zackary1005]

Other great weapons included in the Anniversary edition: -Staff of Hasedoki: really fun and powerful, throws enemies around like fus roh da but in a narrower projectile. Also casts soul trap onto target; -Kremv’s tooth: highest base damage dagger with a 20 damage lightning echant; -Chrysamere: the Paladin’s blade and a classic since Morrowind at least. A greatsword (2H) with more defensive enchants which gives fire resistance, magicka absorption and passive health when equipped. It looks gorgeous too; -Duskfang/Dawnfang: also a returning weapon (You could get it in Shivering Isles if memory serves), this one switches enchants depending on if you wield it during the day or at night. Killing enemies with it also boosts the effect, and it uses no charges! -Bow of Shadows: hardest-hitting and one of the fastest bows, also casts invisibility when wielded. Not CC or anniversary edition but really good nonethelesss: -Staff of Jyril Gauldurson: especially OP at lower levels, it fires extremely quickly and is just powerfully all around. You get it during the Colleges questline. Make sure you get it before anyone else does as its sitting there on a table.

[@mattbatesteacher]

Me: Christ, what a day :/ @theWelshWizard: Greetings Wizard!!!

[@davidjacobs7465]

What I like to do with a bow is to put on the enchantment of soul trap or fiery souls and use soul stealer arrows (creation club or modded arrows). This makes it so that you can get 2 souls for 1 kill (if you have large enough empty soul gems for the soul trap portion of it at least).

[@Freedom-yv8gv]

The Mace of Molag Bal is my personal favorite, powerful, rechargeable weapon unlike most that needs to change. With this, get few gems Stones and/or the star and BOOM, A powerful weapon that basically free

[@Goldenrailgun]

Welsh you should make a video with ranking and reviewing your top 10 favorite Skyrim mods Also welsh what mod adds the health bars above enemies heads?

[@vineousvondrake2456]

unless they fixed it in later versions the mace of Molag Bal has a broken script for recharging the enchantment meaning that you can keep recharging it even if the charge is full which lets you train up enchanting by just continually recharging it as for fiery souls you're better off just disenchanting it, it will allow you to have an even stronger version of the enchantment on ANY kind of weapon aside from a staff cool thing about zephyr is that it's innate draw speed stacks with the quickdraw perk making it even faster

[@baldrian22]

if you want a staff that is a "little" more chaotic the wabajack is quite a fun one to use ;) Wabajack wabajack wabajack!

[@michaelgunnels9694]

[@LexusLFA554]

Don't forget to bring the Ancient Pickaxe down to the mines. (During the Final Descent quest). Ask Glover Mallory for the quest to retrieve it.

[@Practitioner_of_Diogenes]

I honestly have to disagree Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls as good. Especially when you can disenchant it and put it on any other weapon with a better base damage output. What's more, both the fire damage and soul trap are on the same enchantment, so no need to use the "Extra Effect" perk in Enchanting.

[@allex975gaming]

for bows i believe the assasins bow that you get early on is great , it gives 20 percent draw and makes you invisible for 30 seconds after equiping it . Perfect for stealth kills.

[@emo-monkey-mood617]

I never get tired of watching these videos I still play Skyrim elder scrolls. to this very Day.

[@treybrzezowski3259]

I would like to make the Argument for the Bound Sword being pretty OP. High Elves, Bretons, and Nords can get the Mystic Binding Perk stupidly early (for bretons you literally only need 2 perks), meaning it's possible to have a sword with 0 weight, a pretty high swing speed, and the same base damage as a Daedric sword, AT LEVEL 3! And because it's a Novice spell (and we need the novice perk to get Mystic Binding) it only costs 39 magicka to cast. And for an added bonus, at 30 Conjuration (which you'll likely end up with just from using the Bound Sword and summoning it in combat) you can get Soul Stealer which adds Soul Trap to all Bound weapons (except the Bound Quiver from Anniversary Edition), and at 50 Conjuration you can get the Oblivion Binding Perk, making it so that any summoned or raised beings up to level 99. And Remember, speaking strictly in terms of damage this only needs 2 perks, but if you invest all 4 you then have a mighty weapon in hand that can't be disarmed by shouts. At that point it almost doesn't matter that you can't improve it at a grindstone (but that's what Enchanting is for!)

[@TheRealW.S.Foster]

I might get some flak for it, but some of the mods from Creation Club have some pretty great weapons too. My personal favorites are either the Sword of the Crusader, or the war-hammer Akatosh's Talon. Although I might keep the former for when I want to switch in to a sword & spell combat style, I plan on solely using the latter for the sake of my current build's aesthetic, which is more-or-less Legion-themed but has gear based on the knightly orders of High Rock. It should also be said - in which I have mentioned before - that the amount of cheesing I can accomplish within the game will allow me to take that war-hammer and make it into a god-tier weapon. Oh, and I'll probably keep an Imperial crossbow on hand as well, for coverage. Speaking of weapons, would you believe I have never even done some of the new content from Anniversary Edition? I kid you not, I have never once experienced that one Tribunal mod, or the one that takes you to an Ayleid ruin and Mehrunes Dagon's realm in Oblivion. I imagine when I do, I'll be getting my hands on some pretty dope-looking weapons as well.

If you want to optimize melee then just use dragonbone weapons with that you enchant for bows heavier it is slower and further away it will fire and the damage difference between an elven bow and a dragonbone bow isn't the biggest.

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

I would still argue that the Master Sword is the most powerful. Even though in terms of gameplay in Skyrim, it isn’t that powerful, but sealing away demons and time manipulation powers is definitely more powerful than any other sword in the Elder Scrolls games.

Because I'm 99% sure this won't be brought up, the Pale Blade is a fantastic underrated weapon. It has two enchants at base without needing tradeskills, and it has a special quirk. If you get it at it's max level (only 27+), it actually does double stamina damage at 50 points, more than anything you could make without a full alchemy-set-boosted enchanting potion buff. Why does this matter? Because you can manipulate enemies who normally power attack into being just useless half the time, but also because you can ground dragons after just a few strikes. Makes a melee-only build shine in a lot of fights.

[@tommarsdon5644]

How do those daggers work well together? It seems to me like pairing an instantly killing weapon with a a weopon that just does damage will just cause ypu to lose all the damage done with your off hand.

[@KVirello]

You mention Valdrs's dagger as a good pairing with .ehrunes razor, but that's not really true. Critical damage in Skyrim is based on the base damage of the weapon. This means all critical damage does is double the damage of the weapon without taking smithing upgrades or perks into account. So critical damage is pretty much useless as soon as you get to the mid game.

[@hugglepuff1]

There's a bug in the games code that causes Valdr's daggers intrinsic perk to increase the odds of the instant kill. It's documented on the wiki.

[@jastermereel4946]

[@user-sx3pc4dj3r]

True but it is a lot of skill investment just for one weapon.

[@vbscript2]

The most overpowered bow: Pretty much any bow in Skyrim VR. :) Not a whole lot of enemies stand a chance when you can draw your bow almost instantly. Pair it with the perk that staggers enemies hit by an arrow and you can pump nearly anything full of arrows before it has a chance to bother you.

[@RosheenQuynh]

I know it's a mod, but for warhammers, I'm sticking to the Gravity Hammer from Halo 3 hehe

[@jep1st]

Bound Bow is the best bow. - Weight: 0 - Highest base damage (with the perk) - Highest dps - Shoots daedric arrows and the supply is infinite - Quality of the bow with Mystic Binding is the same as Daedric Bow (Exquisite), so it will carry you pretty much the entire game. I stopped my last character around lvl 60 and I still used it as my primary weapon. - You can use it in situations where your weapons are taken away like eg. in jail - It can also capture souls with the right perk but doesn't need recharging Only downside is the cost of summoning it. Depending on your race, it can take anywhere between ~180-190 magicka to cast so you need to invest in magicka to use it.

Windshear and the razer is the most broken combo in the game. Constant stunning so they cant hit back that works with EVERYONE with a chance of instantkill.
