A couple quick corrections: We meant to include lingering damage health in the Rusted Blade special move for more damage over-time, but forgot to mention it :(. Also, the 3rd perk in Hack n Slash requires level 90 in One-Handed, which probably isn't going to happen by level 40.

Orc stealth archer with poisoned arrows, berserker rage and guerilla warfare against the Thalmor. Sounds like John Rambo meets medieval fantasy world. I like that.

For orc builds, a pro role playing tip is that Cracked Tusk Keep has orcish architecture and has safe storage after Mehrunes Dagon quest - makes it feel like your own stronghold

I love that you guys have been folding in references to your other characters. You're building a whole lore for yourselves.

I find it a really cool concept actually to activate berserker's rage upon finding thalmor just out and about as if you fall into a rage just upon seeing them, that's how mad and vengeful you get. And who doesn't love killing thalmor agents? Lol.

For those playing AE, there’s a rare item you can find from fishing called Ring of the Wind that seems like it’d be the perfect fit: it improves movement speed by 15%. 😙👌

I feel like this would be an awesome build for a self sufficient survival style play through.

coolest build 😁🔥🔥🔥

I thought I’d share a build I’ve been really enjoying lately; the wind blade, a redguard mercenary that uses dual wielded swords and whirlwind cloak. What makes the build are the shouts elemental fury and cyclone

This is the coolest archer I've seen in a long time.

The best builds around 😍, this channel has reignited my roleplay love for this game time and time again

long live the algorithm

Would love to see some more orc builds. Maybe an orcish berserker/barbarian with light armor and two handed weapons? Or something in line with fudgemuppet’s craftsman build, who loves forging weapons and armor

I've always wanted you to make a Lurtz build. Great job, as always. Also, you can craft a fortify marksman and fortify one handed potion with canis root. Both effects boost the damage of the iron axe, making it useful without the need to grind smithing early on

I’ve been wanting to come up with a good nature-focused build to center around Pride of Hirstaang and as usual you boys came through with just ALL the ideas. The wait for your next AE build season after next week is going to be literal torture. 😅

This was bound to happen. The most common yet effective "Stealth Archer". Yet also with the twist of being an orc. Your knowledge of the lore still intrigues and amaze!

This would make for an amazing survival mode playthrough.

This is just an awesome channel. Yall are just awesome storytellers and your production values are just insane for such a relatively small channel. Yall easily deserve s much success as Fudgemuppet and other ES channels for sure. Wondering though, could yall look into trying out Oblivion builds as well? I love Oblivion, and would love to get back into it but I've gotten so into role-playing and watching these videos for inspiration and it would be pretty awesome! If not no big deal, but it would certainly be awesome!

As someone who has long been intrigued by Wood Orcs and Iron Orcs, this build video was immensely entertaining to watch.

damn, what a unique approach we got here. an orc with a bow. Offensive archer who use landscape for his advance.

YESSSS! I was planning to play a wood orc for SO LONG and you guys gave me exactly what I needed. Thank you Skypothesis!

Perfect timing, I was just thinking about a Wood Orc build. Think this is my favourite of an excellent season. The woodsy characters are so fun to just roam Skyrim with. Thank for you making these builds and don't stop! At least not before making a Sixth House inspired build for AE ;)

I've been waaaiiting for a wood orc build!!!! Mine was called Pyrae'So'Maer "the pretty orc" she drifted further and further away from her tribe each day until her savage blood called her north to mantle the dragonblood! Half seductress, half stealth sword warrior 💪 and beautiful to boot

I created a build similar to this but with a standard Orc who was her tribe’s hunter. She wore Orcish scaled armor, the Ring of Bloodlust, a hunter’s backpack, and an Amulet of Kynareth. Instead of a bow, she wielded an Enhanced Orcish Crossbow with an Orcish War Axe for backup. She utilized various potions, poisons, and Dwarven Bolts tailored to enemy weaknesses. Her shouts, gifts from Kynareth, revolved around sky and nature themes. Additionally, being a werewolf enhanced her hunting abilities and provided an edge in tight spots or against multiple foes. Her expertise lay in archery, light armor, sneak, lockpicking, alchemy, and smithing.

Epic starting music

Perfect timing. Just took my lunch break

Glad you all are doing better. Very exciting build

I was just trying to think up a new orc build! Thank you guys so much!

love your work man. Seriously, please keep it up!

Love me a good Orc build. Might name this one Woody...no reason why.

Hi ! Glad y'all are back, hope you feel better. Thank you again for dropping this

Just what ive been looking for. I love everything about this build! Great video 🙌

Your characters form an amazing tapestry when linked like this. I love it

Yes guys!!! This is a build I've *BEEN* waiting for! The Valenwood Orcs are such an awesome concept!

Yes, I love your builds, brightens my day every time.

How you guys are able to come up with such amazing ideas is beyond me, keep up the good work!

This build is such fun to play. Was able to one-shot a dragon, one of the ones that hang out on top of word walls. The RP elements are so fantastic! Can't wait to try another.

I think this is my new favorite build of this season! I love archery builds, and I've never even thought of using the orc racial ability for sick archery shots. Can't wait to play this one! Thanks as always for all of y'all's hard work!

This is the best orc build I've seen in a long time I wish you'd upload more but I also understand that it's difficult to be persistent and stay interested in the game at the same time

Great work again! Your approach to builds always puts roleplay front and centre, and helps me get out of my powergaming tendencies. Thanks for all your hard work

I wasn't expecting this thanks skypothesis 🤘

The builds weaving lore into eachother is absolutely fantastic! Cant wait to really digest this one! I have a proclivity towards Bows and Orcs. I am very interested to see how you incorporate their rage gift into a stealth style.

fantastic build! i especially love that you used the unique hide boots that i never knew excisted (and i have been playing skyrim since december 2011 Xd)

I love this, I've been playing my Wood Orc for years but I've never seen a build going with that piece of lore

The way you described this wood orc, all I could imagine was Lurtz the Uruk-hai in fellowship of the rings movie adaptation with the giant ass greatbow that slew boromir.

Wow every time a build is about to drop I always try and guess what’s next and damn this one is awesome it took me off guard and I wasn’t expecting this type of gem lol literally has been like that for every build they are all just so unique you could never guess and then to mention the intertwined characters and the overall vibe they all give just shows that Skyrim has to be one of the best RPGs ever made

You made me wait an extra two weeks, just to make me eat my words? As an aspiring Lore-Master I've always been fascinated by the Wood Orcs, and toyed with making a build about them. Combine that with saying "This is my favorite build" on the King Killer? And revenge is a dish best served amusingly. Keep making builds and one-upping yourselves, no one here will ever be disappointed when you do!

I think this is exactly the character I’ve been looking for, this was more than just worth the wait

Been loving the builds this season! This one reminds me a lot of my first stealth archer, aesthetically and faction wise. Though an orc's a cool twist. After trying out this one, I might think up another Orc build too. Been thinking of a city orc, but not sure if I want to be a legion veteran or go goblin mode aesthetic. Thanks for your content!

Exactly what I was looking for 💯👍❤️

As always, I loved the lore and backstory. I like that you used the lesser-known Wood Orcs for your character build. Combining the Orc’s Berserker Rage with stealth archery is a unique combination. It’s neat how you integrated other characters from the Skypothesis universe into the Wood Orc’s story. I love his character development and story arc. His aesthetics look great. Thank you for another awesome build!

I'm torn......I'm looking forward to next weeks build, but it's the end of the season 😂😂 Great build and story, love the mixing in of other characters from your lore. That is nice touch and gives me new ideas for new builds. Thank you so much for keeping Skyrim going and remining us that Vanilla still has a lot to give us.

Definitely worth the wait 🙌

Excellent. Thank you guys, I love Orcs and am always glad to see alternative builds for them. Kudos to you!

So glad to see Skypothesis in my notifications

The arrow in the knee a 1:36 was a cameo no one expected

I’m enjoying the content. Outstanding work.

Awesome build as always guys!

This channel is just so goated

Thank you for this incredibly lore obscure character. I’ve not seen many people talk about iron orcs or woods orcs with the exception of fudgemuppets beast rider build. I’m glad you’re making builds again, sky-net is a bit too empty without you guys around

Very cool. I actually gave this build a try myself. The lore behind the wood orcs is pretty neat.

I’d like to think I had some part in this creation because I asked for it a few times. If so, that makes me so happy. Although I’m sure it’s just the brilliance of skypothesis. Lol

I love watching Skyrim build videos, specially hearing the backstory of the character

Once again you presented a masterpiece thank you, ive been in tamrial since 2014 and had quit for za few years, your channel not only caused me to take up the journey but several of my friends as well.we appreciate you and your hard work.

Really good aesthetic as always

1:34 she used to be an adventurer like you...

Aaaand I was wrong, it was a pure archer x) This builds make me want to make a sneak archer, I have not made one in my list. Hoping for the pure mage next week.

Loved this one really gives off the average build from Fudgemuppet and any ture really bomser build. Ture to the wilds

That of all the years I played sky I remember since I came out I never played an orc this wants me to play at work thank you so much love this keep it up

Bro yes! Love this build!

Nice build you guys, gotta say love this. I’m currently doing a play through myself with a sheogorah champion build with wabbajack and blade of woe. Madness chest armor and jester gear hat and shoes, dark brotherhood shrouded gloves for that backstab bonus. Illusion and sneak as main skills, secondary smithing and one hand. Fun build abit of a passive play style using illusion a lot.

this is such a cool build concept

I'm not really into the playstyle, but this is still well done (as always). I like that the reason for using Krosis feels very natural. I like the inclusion of The Cursed Tribe, the handling of Volendrung, and the war axe use. The RP for Wildblood is very cool, and that exact combo of ingredients has been a favorite potion of mine for a while.

Hell yea I love this one, this will be my next build.

Ooo I love the wood orc lore

I was watching Fudgemuppet's video on Wood Orcs just yesterday.

Maybe your next Orc could be an Iron Orc who left his tribe to become a vampire hunter? Join the Dawnguard to use the Armored Trolls because Iron Orcs are known for taming trolls

What you guys do is INSANE!! This game is 11 years old, and you still are able to find new ways to play it with no mods! I'm mind blown 🤯 As a loyal roleplayer, I think your content is sooooooo goood and I'm sooo blessed to have find your videos ✨🙌 you guys inspire me so much. Keep going✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I like this character. Nice work! But as a werewolf he was bound to Hircine. I think he should have been a two-handed build, though, and used the Woodsman's Friend lol. I love how you make "special moves" just awesome.

That character blends in into Skyrim way better then any other orc Build I have seen so far...But still feels more foreign then a Nord Archer...And fresher then a Bosmer Archer Build. Really well done

This guy reminded me of Hawkeye Gough from Dark Souls, with very powerful arrows from very far away, love it 😊

Top tier Skyrim build channel.

“Ayo babe wake up skypothesis released a new Skyrim build”

Another awesome build! I've been waiting for a Wood Orc build from any Skyrim channel out there for a while now, and who better to make one than the build masters themselves?

Orcish war axes have the highest bleeding damage multiplier of any axe, and have a suitably jagged rustic appearance while also benefitting from his Smithing perk investment. Did you consider Saviour's Hide for this character?

I’ve got the Friday feeling. Must be time for another Skypothesis build. 🧐

I'm playing this build in AE, and the Bow of Shadows fits so well with the outfit's aesthetic!

cool! love orc builds

Very nice build

Love this build, already creating my orc archer buy my is combat archer combinig the jade build and this one into one bad ass archer.

My favorite build.

Thank god bro I’ve just been waiting doing nothing

I had a build like this all the way back on one of my first play throughs not. My main armor through was the armor of the old gods. Didn't know until now that it was actually lore friendly.

I see that project plus server, very nice! Best smash game!

Excellent

I love this channel and also wood orcs lol

A stealth archer huh? Never played one of those!

I Just love watching these videos even if I dont plan on making this build lol

Great video u gave me an idea to make a stealth necromancer who summoned the undead and other summons as a distraction while picking off unsuspecting victims with his bound bow.

Love all these build, even have multiple of them in progress. Although I have been playing Skyrim for so long now, I am really tempted to add the Impetuous Races of Skyrim Mod, along with all the other mods by the same author. See if it can enhance the gameplay.
