The Elder Scrolls v: Skyrim Dual Dagger Build

In this guide, we’ll design a simple but extremely efficient Dual Dagger Build in Skyrim. This build is for early game players and with enough attention, you could make this build viable in later levels as well.

The main focus here is on offense, and defense is secondary. Overwhelmingly fast attacks are what we’ll try to achieve. Because this is for the early game, I will make it as simple as I possibly can.

The Daggers

After reaching Whiterun, go to the Skyforge at the Jorrvaskr. Here, you can buy exceptional semi-unique weapons. Buy two Skyforge Steel Daggers. If you join the Companions, you will be able to get a single weapon from Eorlund, the blacksmith, for free. Later in the game, you can upgrade these daggers to Daedric or Dragon Bone.

I highly suggest investing in the smithing skill tree in order to greatly upgrade these two daggers. However, do not enchant them.

Armour

You are free to choose whatever armor you see fit for this build. I strongly advise sticking to light armor that allows for agility, and it fits the agile warrior theme very well.
