Best Assassin Build Guide in Skyrim

When you start the game and choose the path of an assassin, you will have to make many important choices to make your character as strong as possible. You’ll have to choose your race, skill, perks, equipment, and stones that boost some of your skills. As you can imagine, it can be quite a challenge to understand all of these options, so let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Race

For the best assassin build, we recommend that you choose the Khajiit race. With the highest sneak stats, a very good one-handed combat skill, and the ability to see in the dark, this race will be your best option. In addition, by choosing Khajiit, you can avoid unnecessary leveling.

Skills and The Stones

If you have chosen to progress in the game as an assassin, then you need to level up specific skills that will make your character stronger in this role. Here are the skills that you should pay attention to:

Before upgrading your skill, we recommend that you first activate The Thief Stone to get a good boost. Once your Sneak is maxed out to 100, we recommend activating The Warrior Stone to get a boost to the One-handed skill.

Perks

• Stealth

In addition, you will receive an extremely powerful Assassin’s Blade perk, which, when has a fifth level, will give a 15x damage multiplier, and Armsman, which will double damage when maxed out.

Character Equipment and Leveling Up

Since you won’t be participating in open battles as an assassin, you do not need Magic and Stamina. The only thing you have to level up is Health, as it can help you in some tough situations.

Speaking of the best equipment for an assassin, we recommend that you choose the following options:
