Every Enemy Skill Explained • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

Enemy skills in The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era can be deceptively simple on the surface, but a lot of them have tricky timing or edge cases that can easily trip you up. I made this video because I kept seeing the same confusion come up during my own games, especially around things like Bane, Fear, or Stalwart. Some of these skills are much more brutal in solo than in a group, and others just have odd little rules that aren’t obvious until you’ve had to deal with them mid-battle.

In the video, I go through every enemy skill currently in the game, one by one, and explain how they actually work. I give examples where it makes sense, clarify things like when the effect triggers, and share a few of my own impressions from playing against them. This isn’t a strategy guide – it’s more of a reference video for understanding what these effects really do, especially if you’re still learning the game or just want to double-check a specific rule.
