We can’t believe we’ve made it to the Season One Finale! We have another six builds coming your way after about a two-week-long break. We’re so grateful for all of your support! While our channel is still small, we’re blown away at the support you’ve given us in just two short months of videos. Thanks for keeping the magic of Skyrim alive 💙
When you join the Dark Brotherhood for the first time, there's a group of them having a conversation about the Werewolf Member killing a Khajit Monk and master of the Whispering Fang. I like to have this Character coming over the border into Skyrim with the "You killed my Master!" Trope from the old Kung Fu films. The idea being he knows his Master was in Skyrim and knows he was murdered by the Dark Brotherhood, but little else. And upon crossing into the country, is taken by an Imperial Patrol and carted off to Helgen for execution...
I love the outfit, and the theme of this build. The special move with the disarm and telekinesis to emulate wind powers is genius. I'd love to see some kind of ninja build, as cirngy as that sounds
Glad you like it! Thanks! In concept we thought the move would be difficult to pull off but when we tried it it was actually pretty easy! We actually have a ninja-esque character planned for season 3..... :)
I love that you all diversify your build portfolio more than other creators. It’s nice not seeing four or five nord builds through the six episodes- as a fan of the vastly underloved Breton myself, it gives me hope to the future of your channel!
Really glad the diversity also means a lot to you! While we love Nords, there are so many races that don’t get very much love :( We’ll have almost all the races covered by the end of Season 2!! :) Thanks for watching!!
Bretons are severely overused when it comes to builds honestly. Because of their 25% Magic Resistance, almost a quarter of the builds I see are Bretons. This is online though, and not on TH-cam. On TH-cam I find them to be a bit more varied, but with the majority being Nords. Which makes sense and all, since Skyrim is the home of the Nords.
Been nearly a year now wow. These builds will be timeless fellas, there will be a time that skyrim is a good 30, 40 years old and all us with a love for roleplaying, now in very different stages of life compared to when we first watched and played these, will remember these builds fondly and think of all the good times we had with them. By far my all time favorite build channel fellas, I forgot you guys had a discord I'd best join haha
These are some of the highest quality Skyrim builds I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. The aesthetics, creativity, and roleplaying are top notch and the inclusion of specific special moves is definitely not something I often see in build videos. I also love that these can be made in vanilla (I’m a console player, so that’s especially awesome). Excellent work! I’m excited to see more great Skyrim content from y’all.
Thanks for the kind words! That really means a lot. We LOVE the special moves because they provide so much flair to a character - really glad you enjoy them as well.
I don't know how you managed to make an unarmed khajiit build so unique but you really pulled it off. Always love what you guys come up with. Watching this made me want to pick up skyrim and play again.
I just wish i was looking for a build when you created your channel. There’s so much to choose from and all of the builds are so cool. When I’m done playing through the assassins creed games I’m coming right back to this channel. And I’m watching every upload.
My favorite of your builds ! I love unarmed characters. In Skyrim Vanilla, who is not make for unarmed you are, in general, limited. But you, you can exploit all the chooses of the game and made an amazing build ! Sincerely congratulations ! I hope see soon another unarmed builds like a Argorian who use Namira Ring or a mercenary who use the ebony shield bug for block, bash, disarm in unarmed ! Ps : sorry for my poor English.
Thanks so much! Unarmed definitely has a lot of limitations so we try to make it as unique as possible. Love the Argonian idea!! And your English is great!! Don't worry at all
Great production, good format, really enjoying the series and hope your channel gets more attention! It’s nice to see people give love to Vanilla, even as a modded player, I can appreciate your backstories and effort
Thanks, man! Really appreciate it! We’re planning some videos exploring mods such as Beyond Skyrim and Skyrim Together in the future - so stay tuned :)
We’ll take a week off to prepare but expect them very soon after that! We have the first few in the next batch finishing up and so far we think they’re waaaaay cooler than anything we’ve done so far - hope you enjoy them! And thanks for watching!!
I was hoping for an unarmed build at one point, and you guys didn't disappoint. Amazing work! I hope to see a Penitus Oculatus and a Blades Build eventually from you guys. Normally I would go further in depth about how to create one, and what exactly I was thinking, but you guys are so creative with your builds that I would rather see what you come up with on your own with only a general idea for a build.
Although I do have a good idea for a Penitus Oculatus Build that I want to share even if you're not gonna use it. Penitus Oculatus Armour, Bracers & Boots, along with an Apprentice Hood and the Shield of Solitude is a really nice aesethic. I'm not sure about weapon, but a sword would be nice. Race could be anything, but Imperial is fitting. The build uses One-Handed, Light Armour, Illusion, and possibly Enchanting. Illusion is for all of the mind bending spells since the build is an agent of sorts. I think it fits pretty well. That's my take on a Penitus Oculatus Build, so I can't wait to see if you guys try and create one.
We have another unarmed planned for Season 3 with a pretty unique twist, so we’re excited to see what you think!! Might be a few months though 😂 We have actually never thought about doing a Penitus Oculatus build but your ideas are sending some serious inspiration our way. Time to hit the drawing board!! Thanks for sharing :) And thanks for watching and for the support as always!!
@@Skypothesis Awesome! Can't Wait! You guys have the most unique builds out there, so I can imagine what amazing build you've got on the line up for future seasons. Keep up the amazing work! And I can't wait to see what you guys do next, now that Season 1 is finished.
I’m obsessed with these videos! My favorite build from this season has to be the Fell Alchemist! I can’t wait for the next videos! Keep up the excellent work!
Watching the video right now, love it so far. I love the roleplaying aspect and I loved how much you guys thought about this build. I might try out this build. Can't wait to see your next build
Hey thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the roleplay element as well. This build was SUPER fun for us and honestly doesn’t take that long to get up and running. Hope you enjoy the playthrough and thanks for watching :):)
I love the approach of using what enemies have against them (if only you could deflect spells back at them) and focusing on very precise moves in combat. The special moves got me thinking of another one based on the mods I use. Going off the Paralyzing Palm idea: Cast a Fear spell as a way to disarm an enemy (Vokrii), grab their weapon with Telekinesis, then instantly catch up and hit them as they're running away (Triumvirate).
Great stuff, I love the creativity you're showing in each build. Each one has a new take on concepts I've seen variants of before, but all are done in such an inventive (and beautifully presented) way. Congrats on a great season one, it's been an absolute pleasure to watch them, and am looking forward to season two. Happy New Year, and may all your roads lead to warm sands.
So far my favorite vanilla build I have seen. Your channel has the best vanilla builds I have come across. Your builds are well thought out and different from everyone else's.
This is by far the best build video ive ever seen on youtube, great editing, pacing, and music choice, ive only just discovered you and cannot wait to check out how much better you've gotten over the years I've missed out, instant subscribe, keep it up!🎉🙌
There is absolutely no way u have 7k subs...U deserve like 100 times more. These videos r so good that its enjoyable to just watch them for watching and not even for playing the actual build in game. This is so well put together. (not exactly this build but all of the videos i watched from ur channel) I subbed, and im watching every single one of ur videos, thank u for keeping Skyrim magic alive!

Welp...just finished the skill grinding now gotta start thieves guild. This is my first ever unarmed build..never wanted to try it until seeing this and will probably follow up with a playthrough of the Saxlheel Vagabond. So far, it's been fun. Looking forward to getting the spells and shouts to really try this out. I'm so addicted to this channel I think I've watched every build 50+ times 😂 I hope you guys keep making builds for a very long time. Fudgemuppet and other channels have good builds but all involve enchanting, smithing and other things to be really strong. I've never played builds without enchantments or just in game unique items. You guys have changed Skyrim for me and opened my eyes to making characters and not just a beast flying through the game and I can't thank you guys enough. Every build is A+ Edit: have everything except starting the main quest so now shouts and this is way stronger than I thought it would be. Having a blast.😍
YES! Absolutely! I'm so glad that there are people who still love Skyrim for it's roleplay aspect! It's a phenomenal game and it's true that the only limit is your imagination! Love the video! Keep it up!
Damn, I came across your channel by random, but I gotta say I love what ya'll doing so far, especially the Special Move section. I hope you'll continue your work, keep at it !
God, all your builds give me so much nostalgia to back when I was posting mine with the best of ‘em like Mason and Henson on Tamriel Vault. This one reminds me my Master Monk (only with a way better aesthetic, no reliance on a game-breaking glitch, vastly superior gameplay/special moves, etc. lol). I hope you two end up with millions of followers because everyone who still plays this game truly needs to see all of these.
I knew Khajiit excelled at unarmed fighting but didn’t know anything about the Desert Wind or Claw-Dances so looked up the lore regarding that. It’s fascinating and I love how you based this character build on that portion of lore. I like your usage and combination of spells and shouts to represent the Claw-Dance fighting styles. Very unique and creative! While I generally prefer not to use glitches, your use of Klimmek’s Supplies suits this character’s style as it makes sense for him to be able to scale walls. As always, I love your attention to detail when putting together the aesthetic of for this character, especially the combination of armor pieces from various sets rather than simply a complete set.
@@Skypothesis you guys deserve more than a fraction! Dude I love these especially this one I've never done an unmodded unarmed build I'm a buddhist so seeing a cool wide d&d monk being realized in vanilla is awesome! The aesthetic is perfect, thank you for making a good looking character you'd be surprised how hard that is to come by. Also his whole not being pious thing really opens up especially being true neutral
@@Skypothesis ive been playing skyrim on and off since launch in 2011, I've done so many vanilla and nodded playthroughs I never thought I'd play vanilla skyrim again, but this level of creativity and roleplaying is too hard to pass up, not only do I love skyrim again but I love vanilla skyrim again
Very similar to a Redguard build I made I called the desert storm. Just basic hammerfell garb and hood, and dual wielded scimitars. Used whirlwind cloak, ash shell, ebony flesh, and ash guardian spells. Shouts were cyclone or elemental fury. If using elemental fury then I went with unenchanted scimitars, if I used cyclone then I used scimitars enchanted with fire and absorb stamina. It was fun but you definitely had to stay on top of your flesh spells being a no armor melee build. I would imagine the flesh spells acted like a coating of sand armor and could manipulate "sand" to fight with him through the ash guardians. Sometimes I'd throw some fire magic in there too but usually just the all maker stone power.
I have a build in mind, but it somewhat depends on how you look at Creation Club. If not then this build will simply be straight forward. Simply put; The Umbra Build. All this build requires are just one if not two CC content to make it all work in both roleplay and looks which is Umbra and the Alternate Ebony Armor Set. The overall style of this build is a 2H Greatsword using Heavy Armor Spellsword. Using Conjuration for Soul Trapping and either reanimating/conjuring the undead thanks to the Soul Cairn, Enchanting to get more out of your soul gems and gain powerful enchantments for your armor, Heavy Armor for your Umbral outfit of course, Two-Handed for the use of greatswords, Block to cover all of your bases when it comes to defense(Of which weapon blocking can benefit from all perks except for "Deflect Arrows", "Elemental Protection", and "Shield Charge"), and Smithing for upgrading and enhancing your gear. Going for more power, add in Restoration and Alteration for more magic regen and become a Vampire, even better when you're also a Dark Elf since you'll have 50% Fire resistance and when full vampire you'll have no Fire resistance but about 50% Frost resistance instead. If you are uncomfortable in using Creation Club, then just get yourself a full set of Ebony Armor and an Ebony Greatsword and enchant the weapon with either Absorb Health or Absorb Stamina and add Soul Trap to it. The idea of this character is that for you, the lives of others means nothing to you but a means of an end. Followers are resources, allies are just components for your gain in power and the souls of many are needed in your conquest for obtaining it. If there is power to gain from doing a quest, whether it be a high fortune of gold or a powerful artifact, do what whatever it means to get it. Basically, do evil things. Do daedric quests that involves you killing someone, betrayal, become a member of the Volkihar Clan, be an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood and be like that one Orc in Oblivion, or just straight up kill everything that moves. In the end, you will become an icon of death, a true reaper of souls, the harvester of the innocent, a true vessel worthy to possess both the weapon and title of Umbra.
@@Skypothesis Thank you, I do have other builds in mind but they mostly revolve around mods here and there. One build I have being called "The Bard" who doesn't fight what so ever but in fact is a complete pacifist. However he doesn't mind supporting his companions and friends in combat by means of cheering them on and providing additional support through Illusion Courage spells, Restoration Healing spells, and other things thanks to the use of "Ordinator" but I'm sure a Vanilla build can be possible. For this build in particular, you'll be playing as an Imperial named Marquise Mantudilius. A bard by trade who often boasts his heroic adventures and outrageous exploits throughout the land, and although his stories are farfetched the way he tells them gives the crowd some good entertainment and a laugh or two. In truth, he's quite the coward but he always seeks out a new honest to good quest to better inspire him and earn some friends along the way. He just have that kind of charm to make people like him. His skills would be that of Illusion for Courage spells and better buff your companions, Restoration to heal their wounds, Smithing and Enchanting to better their gear, Speech for that great personal charm, and Light Armor and Block to keep yourself on your feet and protect yourself should push come to shove. And that's just a summery of the whole build
I am wanting to do a Punch Kitty. This shall be my guide. I am a complete newbie. I just discovered how fun this game is 10 plus years after it has come out.
Thanks so much! The builds are all balanced for Adept, but we have a few planned for next season that are viable on higher difficulties :) Thanks for watching!
@@Skypothesis I've been following you guys on every build I'm still an avid hardcore Skyrim fan for 10 years strong. Your guys's builds Rock keep up the good work
Honestly you could also go the vampire lord route and use the blood magic ring to replace the ring slot if you’re me and will always look for ways to use vampirism in my builds lol
Gonna build a ttrpg party (specifically either Shadow of the Demon Lord or D&D 5th Ed.) made out of Skypothesis archetypes: catman monk, rebel werewolf veteran, imperial vampire agent (these two constantly clash), high elf support necromancer, and primative yet tactical rugged archer. Well rounded party: stealth from the Ghost, Spectre, and Exile, range from the Ghost, melee from the Rebel, Exile and Spectre; buffs and party support by the Auramancer...the only major lacking areas are Social Face and Magic Damage which could probably be filled by one additional character. Soulgems & Elderscrolls: a group adventure within the world of Nirn
Something I did in my roleplaying of a similar wind based build was jump onto different things in combat, it would confuse the ai and I imagined in like my character doing wire-fu style leaps and things
Thank you for helping me create a very similar build to yours basicly instead of wind i went with fire. Its in its beginning stages rn but i got the armor and helm as well as klimmiks supplies. Pretty much all same type of abilities you will use but i will get fire breath fire runes firebolt and the same telekenesis ideas. Might use resist fire potions and damage health poisons on ememies weapons. i call him the Desert Sunburn. Hes still in super early stages. So i gotta grind the mage skills a bit.
Will you guys be remaking any of your previous builds with anniversary content? I think this one in particular could really benefit from the new “Fearsome Fists” creation.
Got a build called the antagonist. Stealth build wood elf proficient in light armour and ranged. Uses bow, daggers, vampire dust and werewolf form. Mass necromancy summons on emergency. Why have companions when you have an undead army to block your retreat.
I only have PS3 version and lost all the dlc content so i can't play the game with any of the good content :( I'm guessing the telekinesis is mainly for roleplay purposes?
Thanks for watching! Having played extensively with mods like ordinator and the base vanilla game, we have found that ordinator disrupts the balance of the game, so we aren't the biggest fan of it! We will stick to vanilla for builds - but stay tuned for content about mods such as Beyond Skyrim and Skyrim Together! :)
At 7:30 when you say “At least up until you reach sky haven temple” did you have any other specific quests in mind that would fit this character to do after that point?
Good question! We actually booked it to Sky Haven just so we could get the gauntlets, but I think it all depends on how you personally want to play him!
Unarmed build are extremely powerful in the early game with damage as high as 50 or more is achievable by only level 3 if you play your cards right. If your wondering that is 22 damage from khajiit claws, 12 or more damage from heavy armor gauntlets, and 16 from the fortify unarmed enchantment which can be enchanted on two pieces with a value of 8 using a grand soul gem with zero perk investment. All that together should bring you damage up to at least 50, but it is possible to gain more damage if you find a better set of gauntlets such as the dwarven gauntlets with 16 armor bringing your damage up to 54.
@@Skypothesis The problem is that damage starts tapering off in the late game becoming far less viable. Assuming you have maxed out enchanting and are wearing daedric gauntlets you damage might reach as high as 70 to 100, but that is in extraordinary circumstances using absolutely everything at your disposal. With the same set up you could make a sword that does 200 plus damage with zero perk investment into onehanded.
@@Skypothesis This is why I tend to use mods, and a great mod for unarmed characters is ordinator perk overhaul as it gives you a lot of the things you'd want in an unarmed build.
We can’t believe we’ve made it to the Season One Finale! We have another six builds coming your way after about a two-week-long break.

Hi another great build awesome
One of the best skyrim build videos I've ever watched. Actually want to attempt this build now.
Hey thanks, that means a lot!! Let us know how it goes:)
Welp...just finished the skill grinding now gotta start thieves guild. This is my first ever unarmed build..never wanted to try it until seeing this and will probably follow up with a playthrough of the Saxlheel Vagabond. So far, it's been fun. Looking forward to getting the spells and shouts to really try this out. I'm so addicted to this channel I think I've watched every build 50+ times 😂 I hope you guys keep making builds for a very long time. Fudgemuppet and other channels have good builds but all involve enchanting, smithing and other things to be really strong. I've never played builds without enchantments or just in game unique items. You guys have changed Skyrim for me and opened my eyes to making characters and not just a beast flying through the game and I can't thank you guys enough. Every build is A+
Edit: have everything except starting the main quest so now shouts and this is way stronger than I thought it would be. Having a blast.😍
YES! Absolutely! I'm so glad that there are people who still love Skyrim for it's roleplay aspect! It's a phenomenal game and it's true that the only limit is your imagination!
Love the video! Keep it up!
Damn, I came across your channel by random, but I gotta say I love what ya'll doing so far, especially the Special Move section.
I hope you'll continue your work, keep at it !
Glad you found us!! Thanks for the kind words man, we have lots more planned!
And yes - the special moves are our favorite part too 😁😁
God, all your builds give me so much nostalgia to back when I was posting mine with the best of ‘em like Mason and Henson on Tamriel Vault. This one reminds me my Master Monk (only with a way better aesthetic, no reliance on a game-breaking glitch, vastly superior gameplay/special moves, etc. lol). I hope you two end up with millions of followers because everyone who still plays this game truly needs to see all of these.
This looks like a great unique build for unarmed. Will definitely have to try this one.
We had a blast with it for sure! Hope you do as well!!
Another excellent build. I loved the look.
Thanks so much man!!
I think this one and the Ashland drifter build are the best ones you came up with.
I am going to subscribe now so when you get to 1 million subs I can say I was in the 300s
Ayyyy let’s hope hahaha :)
Thanks for watching!
damn this is a really good quality video, nice
Thanks so much!! Appreciate it, man :)
I’d just love to say u guys are the best thank for ur beautiful ideas
Thanks so much, yo! Appreciate it:)
New unarmed build for anniversary content?
I like how you brought up Tai Lung.
I knew Khajiit excelled at unarmed fighting but didn’t know anything about the Desert Wind or Claw-Dances so looked up the lore regarding that. It’s fascinating and I love how you based this character build on that portion of lore. I like your usage and combination of spells and shouts to represent the Claw-Dance fighting styles. Very unique and creative! While I generally prefer not to use glitches, your use of Klimmek’s Supplies suits this character’s style as it makes sense for him to be able to scale walls. As always, I love your attention to detail when putting together the aesthetic of for this character, especially the combination of armor pieces from various sets rather than simply a complete set.
We are also wary of glitches, but the Klimmek's Supplies glitch was just too perfect not to include haha. Thanks so much!!
So glad to have found this channel. A very unique and thoughtful build style.
Fudgemuppet who? New emperors of TH-cam builds.
That's seriously the ultimate compliment, thank you. Maybe someday we'll get a fraction of their views 😂😂
@@Skypothesis you guys deserve more than a fraction! Dude I love these especially this one I've never done an unmodded unarmed build
I'm a buddhist so seeing a cool wide d&d monk being realized in vanilla is awesome!
The aesthetic is perfect, thank you for making a good looking character you'd be surprised how hard that is to come by. Also his whole not being pious thing really opens up especially being true neutral
@@Skypothesis I just found you guys today, you've earned a sub and I've watched all your builds already!!!
That’s awesome, man! Glad this is a character you can enjoy. Thanks for the kind words
@@Skypothesis ive been playing skyrim on and off since launch in 2011, I've done so many vanilla and nodded playthroughs I never thought I'd play vanilla skyrim again, but this level of creativity and roleplaying is too hard to pass up, not only do I love skyrim again but I love vanilla skyrim again
Very similar to a Redguard build I made I called the desert storm. Just basic hammerfell garb and hood, and dual wielded scimitars. Used whirlwind cloak, ash shell, ebony flesh, and ash guardian spells. Shouts were cyclone or elemental fury. If using elemental fury then I went with unenchanted scimitars, if I used cyclone then I used scimitars enchanted with fire and absorb stamina. It was fun but you definitely had to stay on top of your flesh spells being a no armor melee build. I would imagine the flesh spells acted like a coating of sand armor and could manipulate "sand" to fight with him through the ash guardians. Sometimes I'd throw some fire magic in there too but usually just the all maker stone power.
I just liked every single one of your comments and videos. ♥️
You’re a sweetheart
This build could be even better with the creation club melee gloves thing added they make for perfect unarmed builds
This gave me sooo many ideas for my Whispering Fang Monk! Awesome job!
You make such great and immersed builds. Keep it up
Thanks for watching!! More coming VERY SOON 😄
@@Skypothesis that's good to hear!
You make some really good builds for skyrim just wanted to stop by and tell u that i can see you make alot effort doing this.
Hey thanks so much! Appreciate it:)
Best build ever. I'm sure !
I have a build in mind, but it somewhat depends on how you look at Creation Club. If not then this build will simply be straight forward. Simply put; The Umbra Build. All this build requires are just one if not two CC content to make it all work in both roleplay and looks which is Umbra and the Alternate Ebony Armor Set.
The overall style of this build is a 2H Greatsword using Heavy Armor Spellsword. Using Conjuration for Soul Trapping and either reanimating/conjuring the undead thanks to the Soul Cairn, Enchanting to get more out of your soul gems and gain powerful enchantments for your armor, Heavy Armor for your Umbral outfit of course, Two-Handed for the use of greatswords, Block to cover all of your bases when it comes to defense(Of which weapon blocking can benefit from all perks except for "Deflect Arrows", "Elemental Protection", and "Shield Charge"), and Smithing for upgrading and enhancing your gear.
Going for more power, add in Restoration and Alteration for more magic regen and become a Vampire, even better when you're also a Dark Elf since you'll have 50% Fire resistance and when full vampire you'll have no Fire resistance but about 50% Frost resistance instead. If you are uncomfortable in using Creation Club, then just get yourself a full set of Ebony Armor and an Ebony Greatsword and enchant the weapon with either Absorb Health or Absorb Stamina and add Soul Trap to it.
The idea of this character is that for you, the lives of others means nothing to you but a means of an end. Followers are resources, allies are just components for your gain in power and the souls of many are needed in your conquest for obtaining it. If there is power to gain from doing a quest, whether it be a high fortune of gold or a powerful artifact, do what whatever it means to get it. Basically, do evil things. Do daedric quests that involves you killing someone, betrayal, become a member of the Volkihar Clan, be an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood and be like that one Orc in Oblivion, or just straight up kill everything that moves.
In the end, you will become an icon of death, a true reaper of souls, the harvester of the innocent, a true vessel worthy to possess both the weapon and title of Umbra.
Wow that’s an incredibly well-thought out build! Keep it up, yo!
@@Skypothesis Thank you, I do have other builds in mind but they mostly revolve around mods here and there. One build I have being called "The Bard" who doesn't fight what so ever but in fact is a complete pacifist. However he doesn't mind supporting his companions and friends in combat by means of cheering them on and providing additional support through Illusion Courage spells, Restoration Healing spells, and other things thanks to the use of "Ordinator" but I'm sure a Vanilla build can be possible.
For this build in particular, you'll be playing as an Imperial named Marquise Mantudilius. A bard by trade who often boasts his heroic adventures and outrageous exploits throughout the land, and although his stories are farfetched the way he tells them gives the crowd some good entertainment and a laugh or two. In truth, he's quite the coward but he always seeks out a new honest to good quest to better inspire him and earn some friends along the way. He just have that kind of charm to make people like him.
His skills would be that of Illusion for Courage spells and better buff your companions, Restoration to heal their wounds, Smithing and Enchanting to better their gear, Speech for that great personal charm, and Light Armor and Block to keep yourself on your feet and protect yourself should push come to shove.
And that's just a summery of the whole build
I came here to learn a Binho's build
The perfect mod for this is Feral, instead of punching, beast races slash with their claws. Great with Moon Monk and Lunar Guard armours
this build is super fun - i had my character be a Pahmar-raht khajiit caravan guard with an alternate start mod :) thanks!
i also added the ring of the beast to my arsenal, so the unarmed damage is just ridiculous! befitting of an adept monk, no? ;)
I am wanting to do a Punch Kitty. This shall be my guide. I am a complete newbie. I just discovered how fun this game is 10 plus years after it has come out.
Awesome build! What difficulty do you recommend for these builds?
Thanks so much! The builds are all balanced for Adept, but we have a few planned for next season that are viable on higher difficulties :)
Thanks for watching!
IM SHOCKED Y'ALL DID NOT ADD INCORPORATE THE MASTER SNEAK PERK WITH SOME KIND OF COMBO. THAT WOULD HAVE A BEEN A GOOD ONE PERHAPS
We have an idea to use that with another build coming sooooooon ;)
Thanks for watching!!
@@Skypothesis I've been following you guys on every build I'm still an avid hardcore Skyrim fan for 10 years strong. Your guys's builds Rock keep up the good work
Honestly you could also go the vampire lord route and use the blood magic ring to replace the ring slot if you’re me and will always look for ways to use vampirism in my builds lol
Zaheer and tai lung interesting combination
Air vibes

In the flesh
@@Skypothesis In the Ebonyflesh (couldn't resist)
That was awesome!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, yo!
Gonna build a ttrpg party (specifically either Shadow of the Demon Lord or D&D 5th Ed.) made out of Skypothesis archetypes: catman monk, rebel werewolf veteran, imperial vampire agent (these two constantly clash), high elf support necromancer, and primative yet tactical rugged archer.
Well rounded party: stealth from the Ghost, Spectre, and Exile, range from the Ghost, melee from the Rebel, Exile and Spectre; buffs and party support by the Auramancer...the only major lacking areas are Social Face and Magic Damage which could probably be filled by one additional character.
Soulgems & Elderscrolls: a group adventure within the world of Nirn
That sounds awesome!!!!
Awesome builds. I intend to try them all.
Something I did in my roleplaying of a similar wind based build was jump onto different things in combat, it would confuse the ai and I imagined in like my character doing wire-fu style leaps and things
Good ish. What difficulty would you recommend to enjoy?
Thanks yo! We usually play on adept, but we have a few planned that can play on legendary - we'll be sure to mention it in those videos!
Thank you for helping me create a very similar build to yours basicly instead of wind i went with fire. Its in its beginning stages rn but i got the armor and helm as well as klimmiks supplies. Pretty much all same type of abilities you will use but i will get fire breath fire runes firebolt and the same telekenesis ideas. Might use resist fire potions and damage health poisons on ememies weapons. i call him the Desert Sunburn. Hes still in super early stages. So i gotta grind the mage skills a bit.
Sounds fun!! Hope you enjoy it!
I feel like one mod should be encouraged and that being an animation mod for unarmed combat to help with the immersion
Personally I went with a more Chaotic Neutral version of this character, leaning a bit into Chaotic Good for some extra flavor.
👍👌
Thanks for your support as always!!
Will you guys be remaking any of your previous builds with anniversary content? I think this one in particular could really benefit from the new “Fearsome Fists” creation.
It would definitely be fun to talk about new content that would fit in with previous builds!
Will you guys be making a new updated khajiit monk build? 👀🙏🏿😅
Got a build called the antagonist.
Stealth build wood elf proficient in light armour and ranged. Uses bow, daggers, vampire dust and werewolf form. Mass necromancy summons on emergency. Why have companions when you have an undead army to block your retreat.
One blade steals health. The other paralysis. The bow soul trapping because why not. Not a close quarters fighter unless in werewolf form.
Also just wondering, what difficulty do you guys recommend playing these builds on?
They're all balanced for Adept, as it is the base setting for Vanilla. Every one we have tried works pretty well on the higher difficulties as well :)
Love this channel
Thanks!
If you have Dawnguard, the Ring of the Beast is excellent for these builds
Very interesting build
Khajiit always Khajiit
This game as nigh infinite potential, especially with mods. It is a shame most people can't see that and only see a game released in 2011.
Best builds
Too kind! Thanks!
I only have PS3 version and lost all the dlc content so i can't play the game with any of the good content :(
I'm guessing the telekinesis is mainly for roleplay purposes?
Could you please make builds on the mod ordinator?
Thanks for watching! Having played extensively with mods like ordinator and the base vanilla game, we have found that ordinator disrupts the balance of the game, so we aren't the biggest fan of it! We will stick to vanilla for builds - but stay tuned for content about mods such as Beyond Skyrim and Skyrim Together! :)
At 7:30 when you say “At least up until you reach sky haven temple” did you have any other specific quests in mind that would fit this character to do after that point?
Good question! We actually booked it to Sky Haven just so we could get the gauntlets, but I think it all depends on how you personally want to play him!
Musics a bomber
You’ve got a new sub
Yay! Welcome ❤️
@@Skypothesis NANI?! You hearted me?
@@panda-monium69 Heck yeah!! ❤️
Thanks so much bro. It’s good to know that my new favorite TH-camr looks cares about feedback :)
Unarmed build are extremely powerful in the early game with damage as high as 50 or more is achievable by only level 3 if you play your cards right. If your wondering that is 22 damage from khajiit claws, 12 or more damage from heavy armor gauntlets, and 16 from the fortify unarmed enchantment which can be enchanted on two pieces with a value of 8 using a grand soul gem with zero perk investment. All that together should bring you damage up to at least 50, but it is possible to gain more damage if you find a better set of gauntlets such as the dwarven gauntlets with 16 armor bringing your damage up to 54.
They are indeed! We have another unarmed build coming in season 4, which won’t be for a while, but we’re super excited for it!
@@Skypothesis The problem is that damage starts tapering off in the late game becoming far less viable. Assuming you have maxed out enchanting and are wearing daedric gauntlets you damage might reach as high as 70 to 100, but that is in extraordinary circumstances using absolutely everything at your disposal. With the same set up you could make a sword that does 200 plus damage with zero perk investment into onehanded.
@@Skypothesis This is why I tend to use mods, and a great mod for unarmed characters is ordinator perk overhaul as it gives you a lot of the things you'd want in an unarmed build.
Yo this build could use one of the new anniversary edition brawler bracers! I'mma try em...
Does the klimmek bag glitch work if you have unofficial patch mod
How do you quick swap between spells and unarmed?
Please make a muffled black khajjit archer
Cool idea!!
Hi Skypothesis! Any particular reason to not put any perks in light armor?
To us, it was the least important before hitting lvl 40. It's definitely still useful if you plan to play further than that!
@@Skypothesis I see, thanks for your kind response. Happy holidays!
Exile vs Vagabond anyone?
