Silent Casting - This lets you cast your other spells.Muffle - Chances are good you'll already have some perks to reduce the noise you make, but Muffle is a great way to make your footsteps almost completely silent.It's basically a "normal" assassin that throws Illusion spells into the mix. Can be useful at times, but but I think the others are more fun.Īs far as gear goes, you can basically use the same weapons/armor as a "normal" assassin build. Calm - Just like the Illusion spell, it causes them to basically ignore you.They basically just drop straight down and can't move, making them an easy target to slice and dice (if you so choose.) But if you can get away quickly, his/her friends will become the new target. Frenzy - This can be fun, just keep in mind that you're probably the closest thing to the person, so they'll likely unload on you.Pretty funny to see an enemy just drop dead from poison slipped into their pocket. Damage Health - The most obvious type of poison to use is the kind that just takes health away.And it can make for a funny way to defeat your humanoid opponents. Maybe it spills, goes through their clothes, touches their skin and instantly takes effect?īut it does. This build relies on what of the silliest skills in Skyrim. The "Poisoned" perk in the Pickpocket tree allows you to put a vial of poison in your enemy's pocket. But then you have to use Enchanting, which is more of a mage route, not assassin. Of course, some mods may come out (as they have on PC) for Frenzy enchantments, which would allow you to bypass the Alchemy/Poison route altogether. Light Armor or Robes or Clothes - Your choice, but Light Armor is the more traditional route.Just keep in mind that if your bow does too much damage, your Fury'd friend won't have much health left to fight your/its enemies. Instead it's better to plan on making your own, and the best poisons require a few points in Alchemy. Alchemy - You can plan on buying your Fury/Frenzy poisons, but that's a long shot.All of its buddies will start attacking it, and you can just enjoy a sweet roll while you watch. Simply coat your first arrow with the poison and fire it off at the strongest enemy. Thanks to Fury poisons, mages aren't the only ones having all the fun.įury Snipers combine a bow or crossbow with Fury poison to take out their enemies from afar. The Fury line of spells is among the most fun in the game. But if you aren't a mage, you can still enjoy watching enemies fight each other.

So if you plan on going the sneaky route, here are a few fun assassin builds to play in Skyrim.
