High Elf Samurai Build

Post » Sun Nov 24, 2013 6:50 pm

Always thought a High Elf would make a cool samurai after seeing the race picture from oblivion, so I decided to make one in skyrim.

Practised two handed

Weapon: Ebony Blade

Armor: Blades

Hangs around the blades temple ( it really looks like a samurai temple)

I became apart of the dawngaurd because I was thinking the Dawngaurd armor might work as well. At the moment I am a werewolf which I might keep or lose depending.

I don't know where I will buold my house, Maybe falkreath. I also have dragonborn so I don't know if there is anything there that might help my buld (armor, weapons, ect.)

Any hints would be nice, tips and advice.

Will you just be using Two Handed? No shield, or magic?

I would invest in the Block tree for 'Quick Reflexes'. Very good perk. Some might say its OP, but its useful and will likely save your life on multiple occasions.

I prefer the one-handed blade's sword to the ebony blade.

I like how its more like a katana, one handed just seems too small more like a wakasashi. Plus I like the black and gold.

I've tried something like this, but I found that two-handed swords are just way too slow, so you don't get that feeling of being a fast, agile swordsman. I prefer one-handed. I guess that's not really helpful advice for you, though, given where your character is at.

I'd suggest Dawnbreaker, one handed with a fairly good weight to damage ratio. I think two handed really zap the stamina and aren't really all that quick.

I tried a Samurai build like that and couldnt get into it. The one hand swords were just too slow. I switched to duel wielding Dragonbane and Blades sword and it was a bit better. Duel wield like the GREAT Miyamoto Musashi. I didnt take him far because I just couldnt get into a samurai being in Skyrim. Basically, he just became an Orc wearing Blades Armor and I got bored.

Samurai's also used bows from time to time.

So you may want to use archery aswell.

Oh and the elemental fury shout makes your weapons quicker. For that extra samurai push.

Not sure if it works with the ebony blade though.
