Skyrim Minion builds
Builds where atronachs, raised dead and loyal followers do the fighting. You direct the battle; your conjured crew carries it.
Or start from scratch in the Character Build Planner and share your build.
Clad in heavy armor, using alteration to absorb spells, restoring magicka to incinerate those who attacked first.
A combat archer that fights with frost and beast Magic
The bard uses no armor and relies on spells to keep them safe, using conjuration, illusion and alteration as defensive; their only offense is a bound sword. Used correctly it will be used sparingly as your enemies will tear themselves apart from frenzy spells with the help of the undead you raise (or atronachs). Alteration is your main defense so always maintain your flesh spells, Restoration is your net, should you take damage.
High elf necromancer with destruction magic, heavy armor and a dark greatsword. Based on a fudgemuppet build
A stealthy vampire mage who toys with enemies using illusions, paralysis, and summoned minions before finishing them with a well-aimed life drain or fire spell.
I would join the College of Winterhold, the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood early to help level your skills and acquire gear.
Based loosely on the titular character from the Overlord game series. This character is a heavily armored battlemage who summons allies, fires off powerful spells, and crafts its own powerful gear.
Focus on leveling Conjuration early and use your sword and Destruction spells as backup until you have enough Magicka to blast constantly in fights.
Smithing and selling enchanted daggers keeps you flush with cash for spells while leveling your crafting.
Build limited to only the skills with starting bonuses. Main Skill has a 10 perk investment, Minor Skills have a 5 perk investment
Manipulative, prefers not being seen, knows necromancy, doesn’t know how to make friends. Not to be trusted.
