Spellsword Class Guide • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

Spellsword is probably the most unique class in the game – and honestly, maybe the strongest too. The fact that you can just resolve any effect from your skill dice without even rolling them is kind of ridiculous. No randomness, no hoping for the right face, just pure control. It completely changes how you build and play, and once you get used to it, it’s hard to go back. But beyond that, the rest of the kit is also excellent. Everything feels really cohesive and thematic, and there’s a lot of room to experiment depending on what kind of playstyle you’re after.

In this video, I go over every Spellsword ability, show what changes when you promote to the master side, and walk through a full build that leans hard into that resolve mechanic. I also talk through race picks, skill line choices, item synergies, and show exactly how I set up my stats. Toward the end, there’s a full solo gameplay demo so you can see how it all comes together – and how consistent this class can be even in some of the tougher encounters.
