Master Yi the Wuju Bladesman

Ok maybe I am really just psyched about this build because it is my first go at using a two-handed weapon in skyrim. Never the less, this build is as much fun as running a killing spree in LoL with the dunk master himself.


The Build

Race: Argonian
Standing Stone: The Warrior Stone.
Major skills: Two-Handed, Light armor, and Smithing.
Minor skills: Enchanting.

You want to pick Argonian here because of Master Yi's Meditate (which basically rapidly healed him) as the Argonian racial Histskin is very similar to this. Histskin makes this build feel very much like playing Master Yi. On top of this if you use the 360 version of Skyrim, after every use of Histskin you can bring up the prompt to sleep 24 hours and hit ok and hit the xbox button. This glitch allows for you to sleep 24 hours in less than 10 real life seconds (it speeds up the counter some how).  I know Argonians only start with 15 two-handed skill. But I played him on master and got my two-handed to level 26 half way through Bleak Falls Barrow so don't sweat the small stuff.

The weapon of choice for this build is the greatsword. Get your first perk in steel smithing and craft your self one right away. Or you could just wait to use the Ancient Nord Greatswords that the Drauger drop in BleakFalls Barrow.  The next order of business is to get Unrelenting force quick so that you can hop right over to Solitute. From Solitude walk west to Mount Kilreath. There you will find the statue of Meridia. Go directly North East to find your unguarded prize! The word wall for Elemental Fury (this almost doubles your attack speed for a short time at rank 3). This is Master Yi's Phantom Dancer. Use it to dunk foes into Oblivion with your insane attack speed.

Use light armor to move really fast like Master Yi! EVERY level should go into health because vegetable soup can be consumed if you find your self NEEDING stamina which I did not.

Overall

After I left the Helgen Keep dungeons/caves and did my thing in RiverWood (crafted a nice steel greatsword and a full suit of leather armor). I ran into the Companions that are killing a giant near one of the farms in front of Whiterun.  I saved the game and decided to put Master Yi to the test. On master difficulty I killed (incapacitated because they are they cant actually 'die') all the companions there 3v1. I did have to use Histksin here but it just furthered the immersion of playing this bad ass champion. Have fun dunking :)

  1. Have you thought of using the ebony blade it swings faster then two handers usually do, and benafits from one handed perks despite being a two hander, it fits since most people build attack speed on yi.
