Daedric Summoning Explained • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

Daedric Summoning is easily one of my favourite skill lines in The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era. It’s just really fun and thematic, especially if you’re into companion builds. Power Stone is probably the highlight here – it lets you completely control your dice rolls, which feels amazing and is honestly one of the strongest effects in the whole game. Bound Armaments is another great one for granting extra engages (though a bit tricky to use), and Expert Summoner boosts your companions so much it feels like you’re doubling or even tripling their effectiveness. Clanfear also deserves a shout-out, as its aggressive trait makes its damage output super consistent with built-in rerolls.

In this video, I break down each of the Daedric Summoning dice and explain how their abilities work, including some common rules questions you might have. You’ll see exactly how tricky abilities like Tempered Soul can trigger in actual gameplay and how you can set up some clever combos. Whether you’re running a dedicated companion strategy or just like having dice you can fully rely on, Daedric Summoning has loads to offer, and I’ll share my best tips for getting the most out of it.
