The following are the weapons that benefit from this skill: Those trained in this skill deliver deadlier blows.' ― Skyrim Loading screen 'The art of combat using one-handed weapons such as daggers, swords, maces, and war axes. One-handed weapons have a shorter range than two-handed weapons, but one-handed weapons move faster and leave an open hand for spells, a shield, or another weapon. Perks from other skills that affect one-handed weapons (such as the Backstab perk from the Sneak skill) also seem to affect unarmed attacks. Alteration can also bring advantages by allowing the use of various forms of mage armor.ĭespite not adding towards the One-Handed skill, unarmed attacks do benefit from Dual Flurry. An exploit for 'dual-wielding' is to hold both attack buttons to perform a power attack but before it is performed press both the attack buttons again, which results in a stamina-free power attack. It is advisable, though not necessary, to back up a dual-wielding play style with defensive skill trees, such as Heavy Armor or Restoration. This is referred to as ' dual-wielding.' While this potentially doubles damage output, it also removes the ability to block any attacks. The One-Handed skill tree allows damage output to be increased by wielding two one-handed weapons simultaneously. Due to a glitch, this included the Two-Handed weapons Ebony Blade and Headsman's Axe prior to patch v1.9. The perks obtained in this skill tree only affect one-handed weapons. One-Handed directly affects the damage dealt with one-handed weapons. One-Handed is a skill in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. 'You're like me, eh? Don't fancy those clunky two-handed weapons.' ― Hold Guard
