Two Handed Explained • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

The Two Handed skill line is all about raw damage, and I’d say it’s probably the strongest of the starting damage-dealing options in the game. What I love about it is that most of the dice stand strong on their own, you don’t need tons of support pieces to make them work. Momentum can dish out ridiculous amounts of damage, Executioner is one of the most powerful dice in the whole game with its instant-kill effect, and Cleave gives you a way to spread damage without even targeting enemies directly. It’s aggressive, straightforward, and hugely rewarding to play if you enjoy hitting hard and cutting through tricky enemy skills.

In this video, I go through each die one by one, starting from Wrecking Blow at level one and working all the way up to Cleave. I explain how they work, when to use them, and highlight some common mistakes and rules clarifications.
