10 Character Builds That BROKE RPGs
2. Stealth Archer - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Stealth builds have always been one of the most powerful picks for players in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, with the skill tree going hand-in-hand with almost any weapon or spell combination in the game.
But, whilst there aren't any major exploits or mechanics to be said for the build, Stealth, and Archery still feel like the go-to combination for the most game-breaking experience. With all the tank companions available to pick up, Skyrim really rewards players that want to stick to the sidelines away from the action and pick off enemies whilst they're distracted.
Bosmers get a starting bonus to both Archery and Sneak, and perks such as Deadly Aim (sneak attacks with bows do x3 more damage), Critical Shot (10% chance of a critical hit), Quick Shot (Can draw bows 30% faster) and Power Shot (stagger most enemies 50% of the time) end up making the build feel like an invincible, invisible machine gun that even the toughest of enemies won't come close to stopping.
Throw in the availability of extra damage and paralysing effects either through Alchemy potions or the Bullseye perk, and players can even guarantee their foes won't even be able to attempt an attack against them.
