Skyrim two-handed sword or ax which is better. Where to find the best weapons in Skyrim. Battle axes and hammers, Greatswords

Generalization: Skills ».

Ownership two-handed weapon(orig. ) - skill from the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, affecting the effective use of weapons that involve both hands. The main advantage of a two-handed weapon over a one-handed weapon is the attack range and more effective blocking ability. Powerful blows often throw the enemy off balance, which gives some superiority over enemies with more short distance attacks. Preferred for warriors in heavy armor. The growth of this skill is affected by touching the Stones of the Warrior and Lover.

Weapon types

The two-handers themselves are the most heavy weapons, but there are some differences among them. They are divided into three types: swords, axes and hammers. All of them have their own weight category, on which the attack speed depends. Massive weapons are harder to swing. Swords are light and therefore fast, but do relatively little damage, while hammers, on the contrary, are crushing in strength, but very heavy.

Racial Benefits

• nords: +10

Details

• Two-Handed Sword:
  The fastest among two-handed weapons, it has a medium stamina consumption and enough attack speed to hit and parry on par with fast opponents and small animals. Highly effective in the initial stages against any opponents. Armored warriors wearing full sets of heavy armor take uncomfortably little damage from such weapons.

• Two-handed ax:
  Slow attack speed, slightly higher damage than a sword. Notably, the ability to bleed, which lasts for a long time, causes the enchantment effect to trigger on each damage dealt by the ability. However, if the task is to burn the enemy by enchanting weapons, it is better to use a one-handed ax.

• Warhammer:
  A very slow attack speed combined with a huge stamina drain makes this weapon, subjectively, one of the most difficult to master. If you set a goal not to miss the blows of the enemy, then you will have to spend more than half the time in a fight for

Two-handed weapon

Two-handed weapon(orig. - "Two-handed") - one of the 18 character skills in the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Part of the warrior skill group. It is the patronage of the constellation Warrior that provides a 20% accelerated skill growth. The skill is responsible for the effective use of two-handed weapons in combat. The class of two-handed weapons includes Two-handed swords, Axes and Hammers. Two-handed swords are the fastest type of two-handed weapons, but their damage (in the absence of the corresponding perks) is less than that of Axes and Hammers. Hammers, on the other hand, have the most crushing power and are the slowest weapons in the game.
Two-handed weapons have a longer attack range than one-handed weapons, as well as a high potential for combining with a block, which makes it possible to fight on equal terms in open combat with strong animals (bears, trolls, dragons) and living and non-living enemies with two-handed weapons.

Powerful strikes with heavy weapons (especially hammers) will often unbalance the enemy, giving a player with two-handed weapons a serious advantage over all opponents with a shorter attack range.

This type weapons has three disadvantages that determine the specifics of the battle:
1) High consumption of stamina - the player has to spend the stamina more carefully, collect things that increase the stamina and its regeneration.
2) Slow attack speed - the player must correctly calculate the speed and time of the strike, in most cases start the swing in advance, as well as control fast opponents with a block and flat blows.
3) Difficulty/impossible to use magic and shields - the player should accurately time to use magic (for example, healing), move faster, use natural barriers to hide from the shooters, and also rely on the strength of the armor.

A two-handed weapon is perhaps the best choice for a warrior in heavy armor.

Two-Handed Sword:
The fastest among two-handed weapons, it has a medium stamina consumption and enough attack speed to hit and parry on par with fast human and small animal opponents. Highly effective in the early and mid game against any opponents.
The critical damage perk greatly increases outgoing damage, making it almost the best choice for the mid game.
In the late stages of the game (if at all someone needs recommendations on calling), it is better to use against animals, dragons, magicians ("rags").
Armored warriors wearing full sets of heavy armor take uncomfortably little damage from such weapons.

Two-Handed Axe:
Slow attack speed, slightly higher damage than a sword.
It is noteworthy that the perk for blood loss causes the effect of the enchantment from the weapon to be triggered for each "tick" of damage from blood loss. However, if the task is to burn the enemy by enchanting weapons, it is better to use a one-handed ax.
Perhaps the most powerful advantage of this weapon - appearance.

Warhammer:
A very slow attack speed combined with a huge stamina drain makes this weapon, subjectively, one of the most difficult to master. If you set a goal not to miss the blows of the enemy, then you will have to spend more than half of the time in a fight behind the block and hitting the handle.
Very effective in the beginning against large beasts, as it knocks them over with almost every hit, preventing them from hitting back.
With the Armor Break perk, it deals surprisingly high damage against the most armored enemies with the strongest shields until the very end of the game.
The war hammer is one of the best options weapon for a warrior partner, as it makes his blows really painful for enemies. Subjectively, a slow hammer attack forces the teammate to spend more time defending and blocking, and therefore a better balance between damage and teammate defense is achieved. Conversely, it is noted that a partner with a faster weapon ( two-handed sword) tries to attack more often and gets more counters.
Additionally, we note that the use of an unenchanted two-handed weapon in conjunction with the cry "Elemental Fury" gives a significant advantage in any battle.

The following races have a bonus to Two-Handed Weapons:
+10 bonus: Nord
+5 bonus: Orc

Two-handed weapons in Skyrim inflict on enemies (well, or in last resort by allies) significant damage. However, this one-time damage comes at the cost of lower attack speed, higher stamina consumption, and lack of a shield. Two-handed weapons include two-handed swords, two-handed axes, and hammers.

Some of us like to play with luck - they give up the trusty shield and take a bigger weapon. But there are so many different weapons that even an experienced adventurer will have a hard time choosing. With this guide, everything will become much easier, because you will have to use the most powerful two-handed weapon!

The best two-handed equipment in Skyrim

In truth, there are definitely the best weapons in the game, both , and two-handed. Skyrim is role-playing game, each item has a set of various parameters, characteristics, improvements. This is especially true for items of equipment - and weapons, because such things can have magical enchantments, and can also be improved in the forge.

In addition, a lot depends on what skills Dovakin has developed. With some skill, you can even fight with bare hands, and it's great that the game provides such an opportunity.

The best axes, two-handed swords and warhammers in Skyrim

There are fewer two-handed weapons in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, so it is logical to combine the different classes of such weapons into one section. Here are the best axes, two-handed swords and fighting youths in the game: Wuuthrad, Rueful Axe, Bloodskal, Volendrung and Dawnguard Rune Hammer.

How to get the weapon Ax Vuutrad

This thing is great suitable for those who dreams of settling scores with the elves. Wuuthrad does more damage against eared races, and the base value is also quite high - 25. This is a damn powerful ax!

The path to the Ax Wuutrad lies through the passage storyline Companions (Companions). It will have to be completed completely, since only at the end of the last task, Glory of the Dead, Dovakin gets the opportunity to grab Wuutrad with both hands.

How to get the weapon Ax of Sorrow

A Daedric Prince named Clavicus Vile describes the weapon as "powerful enough to have fun." And this is pretty close to the truth - the Ax of Sorrow in the base version deals 22 damage, and also burns the stamina of enemies. In addition, it can be improved in the forge, if you have the appropriate skill.

The Ax of Sorrow can be obtained as a reward for completing the Daedric quest "A Daedra's Best Friend". But before moving on to it, you must grow to at least level 10. After Dovakin is enough strong, you need to find a character named Lod (Lod) near the entrance to Falkreath.Further there will be many more funny and not so adventures.

How to get the Bloodskul weapon

Appeared in the game after the release of the Dragonborn add-on. This is a hefty two-handed sword, which strong blow causes a magical explosion. Even without taking into account the impressive physical damage, Blaskal is valued for the fact that the burst of energy deals 30 damage!

To become the owner of Blaskal, you need to start the passage of the storyline of the Dragonborn add-on, and then, having arrived in Solstheim, go to the Raven Rock Mine and take the side quest "The Final Descent" from a character named Crescius Karelli (Crescius Caerellius). The blade will lie near the remains of Gratian (Gratian) in the dungeon.

How to get Volendrang weapon

An impressively sized warhammer can seriously scare an impressionable hero with its demonic relief. But his damage is much worse - 47! When struck, Volendrang not only easily breaks the strongest bones, but also burns stamina, which is very convenient for Dovakin, because in order to make a good swing with such a hammer, one’s own strength will obviously be small.

Associated with obtaining Volendrang is The Cursed Tribe quest, which begins in the orc stronghold of Largashbur. Arriving there, the hero must help the local orcs cope with a bunch of problems and at the same time show himself in a favorable light in front of the Daedric prince Malacath (Malacat).

How to get the Dawnguard Rune Hammer weapon

Not the best in its class (base damage is 22), but definitely very useful in some situations. It's all about enchantments: they allow you to place fire traps on different surfaces. In this way, many opponents who prefer to fight up close can be very dealt with.

As with the other rune weapons Dawnguard, you need to complete the dynamic quest "The Lost Relic". The task is rather troublesome, although it is generated randomly: you need to clear the dungeons, filled to capacity with all sorts of evil spirits and undead.

If you're lucky, the Dawnguard Rune Hammer will be Dovahkiin's reward. For sure. More likely. Maybe. May be. Some day. Sooner or later... Well, if you buy, of course.

The best unique bows in Skyrim

A bow will be useful for almost every hero, but it is especially often used by those who, for some reason, do not want to “dirty their hands” by waving all sorts of sharp things like some kind of savage or barbarian. There are plenty of bows in the game, but only 3 of them will serve Dovahkiin best: The Nightingale Bow, glass bow Stag King (Glass Bow of the Stag Prince) and Gauldur Blackbow.

How to get the Nightingale Bow weapon

This weapon belongs to Karliah, a member of the thieves' guild and the protagonist's temporary companion during certain quests. The Nightingale Bow enchantment allows you to freeze and electrocute a target, which is often useful in different situations. It is also another weapon that depends on the level of the character. It is not worth taking it too early, it is better to wait. For example, up to level 46. It is then that the Nightingale Bow will become as powerful as possible.

To convince Karliah to give up the bow, you will have to join the Thieves Guild and follow its storyline. It's pretty long haul, which will only end on the Blindsighted mission. The bow will be given to the character as a reward for completing the quest. By the way, Dovakin will also receive an “infinite” master key (Skeleton Key), but who cares about such trifles?

How to get the Stag King's Glass Bow

The name is far from the most remarkable thing that this weapon has. It blesses the owner with a special effect - increases health and stamina while the bow is equipped. To get a blessing, you need to kill 20 animals. Not so much, but not so little!

You can get the Stag King's Glass Bow from Falas Selvayn at the Ramshacle Trading Post. Oh yes, that's right, this location is on the island of Solstheim, so go sailing after purchasing the DLC.

How to get the Blackbow of Gauldur weapon

Like the Nightingale Bow, this piece of ancient Nordic craftsmanship is a weapon whose power is directly related to the level of the hero. It is exposed at the moment when Dovakin first enters the location where, in fact, the bow is located.

Goldur's Blackbow deals 36 damage on impact and absorbs magic. Convenient if main character knows a couple of powerful spells.

As with Goldur's Black Sword, the bow can be obtained from the Forbidden Legend quest. For this quest to appear in the journal, you must read the book "The Lost Legends of Skyrim". You can find it in the most different places, you just need to be careful. Well, or just search the lifeless body of the "adventurer" in the "Lake Cliff" location.

But the bow has its own dungeon - Geirmund's Hall. The ancient and not quite alive (and not dead!) Sigdis Gauldurson lives there. The bow is in his hands, you just need to ask well.

Best Skyrim Daggers

There are over ten unique daggers in the game, but we're going to focus on a couple that we think are especially excellent. If you're creating a character for stealth play, they can prove to be quite a significant weapon for you for quite some time.

Blade of Woe

This dagger is even more powerful than the Mehrunes Razor with a base damage of 12, its enchantment is useful for fighting powerful enemies - each hit absorbs 10 health points.

The Blade of Woe can be obtained from an NPC during the Death Incarnate quest, part of the Dark Brotherhood faction questline. You can also follow early steps quest and kill Astrid during the quest With Friends Like These. You will be able to take the Blade of Woe from her body, but you will no longer be able to join the Brotherhood.

Mace of Molag Bal

When you're ready, two priests will tell you about the "first dragon" and try to kill you. This will start the DLC quest line. After a few quests, you will be taken to the final Dragonborn quest, on top of Apocrypha. You will be able to take this weapon as loot from a corpse at the end of this quest.
