10 Overpowered Video Game Exploits You Won't Believe Are Real
1. Overpowered Flames - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The School of Destruction in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the primary weapon in a mage Dragonborn's arsenal.
Unfortunately, the elemental powers offered by this school don't tend to scale as well as regular weapons, and on higher difficulty levels, even attacking with stronger spells like Fireball feels as effective as poking your opponents with a stick.
This said, there is a secret way to turn your weakest fire spell, Flames, into the most overpowered damage source in the game!
The only reason why most people don't know about it is because you have to boost this Destruction ability with an Illusion perk!
The Illusion perk "Aspect of Terror" amplifies your fear-causing spells to be more powerful, and while most assume it just means scaring tougher opponents with Illusion, if you also purchase the Destruction perks, which make fire spells cause fear, Aspect of Terror will actually amplify them to deal more damage!
The perk can make your basic Flames spell deal an extra 15 points of damage, effectively giving it the power of a mid-tier sword that you can continuously dish out to multiple enemies every single second!
It may be caused by Illusion buffs, but this damage is as real as it gets!
