Disarm
Shout defies steel, as you rip the weapon from an opponent's grasp. Words: ZUN (Weapon), HAAL (Hand), VIIK (Defeat) Another shout here that does exactly what you might expect. Disarm will tear the weapons right out of the hands of anyone in its path (up to level 30 at it's full potency) leaving them on the floor for a few seconds until theyre then picked up againunless youve picked them up first. With one word only, your targets will only drop their steel if theyre level 12 or below, but learning the subsequent parts of the phrase will up that cap to level 20 and 30 respectively.
Uses: Theres always the risk with a technique as basic in its core function as Disarm that itll be forgotten amongst some of the more impressive, multi-purpose shouts that are available in Skyrim. But its an essential one for anyone playing as one of the lower armour classes such as a thief or a mage. After all, if youre stood there in a robe about to go toe to toe with an armoured enemy surely youd rather him be swordless right? If youre good and you timed the shout right you might even be able to disarm an entire chamber filled with powerful enemies and if youre even better you might have even managed to collect all of their weapons leaving them pathetically impotent. Then all youd need to do was mop up! This kind of strategy is the difference between a good Skyrim player and a great one.
