Honestly a thief build should have some of the easiest dragon fights out there. However you’ll want to pull back constantly to try to get some space, then use the quick change menu to swap back to the bow. Stick a Fortify Health enchantment onto the shield to enable yourself to stand toe to toe with the beast if it gets right in your face. Equip the strongest bow you can get, give it a good enchantment and then buy the best arrows available to deal maximum damage.Įven if you are sticking to using your bow for all encounters you might want to bring a shield to any dragon battles. The best thing to do is use a bow for dragon, mammoth and giant battles to gain experience enough with it to do serious damage to dragons with your arrows. For these situations you’re going to have to use a powerful sword to make up the difference. The problem is that you can’t use sneak attacks on them and you’re probably using daggers, which don’t deal damage fast enough to kill dragons with any expedience. The weapon enchantment should be Absorb Health since you’re going to lose it rapidly in melee combat with the dragon.Ī pure melee thief setup isn’t going to have a whole lot of success dealing with dragons. While the Silent Moon Enchant is only useful at night, the damage bonus (not fire, even though it’s described as “burning” the target) is very effective all around. Good weapon enchantments to have on your bow are elemental damage (although this forces you to use two bows for different dragon types), or Silent Moon Enchant. However, a magic user will still need to carry a bow (or use the Bound Bow spell) since the dragon moves around so much and will tend to be outside of spellcasting range. Should you have invested in that magic type heavily, then it’s possible to use it against them, but don’t expect it to work the miracles it does on regular enemies. The weapon and shield can be replaced with dual wielding magic if you’re playing a magic user - just be sure that you aren’t using the same magic as the dragon's breath attack since it takes reduced damage from that source. If you can carry a ring or amulet to help mitigate the damage from the breath weapon then you will be in very good shape to handle the hardest part of this encounter, since the parts when they’re flying around breathing on you can really drag down your health. Armor isn’t the most important so either light or heavy will be fine as long as you can move quickly in it.
For the ideal setup you will want to have a strong bow with a decent enchantment, a strong melee weapon and either a shield or second weapon.
