Summary
Inthe world ofOblivion Remastered, some skills aren’t just tools for survival; they are golden tickets to godhood and total domination of Tamriel. These aren’t any average skills, they’re exploits so potent they let players steamroll challenges and craft builds that laugh in the face of adversity.
What makes a skill overpowered? It’s not just about being strong; it’s about having the ability to exploit game mechanics. These are the skills that let players craft builds so effective that they make Mehrunes Dagon himself pause and wonder if he picked the wrong dimension to invade. These skills stand out for their ability to break the game wide open, offering versatility and sheer power that can turn even the toughest quests into a victory lap.
8Mysticism
The Soul-Stealing Secret Weapon
Mysticism might not scream “overpowered” at first glance, but it offers a unique brand of power that’s all about manipulating magical energies and souls. Imagine facing a Lich who’s about to unleash a soul-crushing spell, only for the player to casually absorb their magical fury or, even better, send it hurtling right back at them. That’s the power of Mysticism’sReflect Spell and Spell Absorption.
Mysticism’s exploitative charm doesn’t end there. The Soul Trap spell is the lifeblood of any serious enchanter, allowing players to capture the essence of their fallen enemies to power up their gear. This one’s not about flashy explosions; it’s about outsmarting the game’s toughest threats. Pair it with enchanted loot, and it’s a game-changer—endless charges mean endless chaos.
7Alteration
Reshaping Reality With This In The Toolkit
Alteration skill is like having a master key to Tamriel’s every lock. Alteration is all about manipulating the physical world, and it offers some game-breaking ways to do it. Alteration spells like “Open Hard Lock” simply tell that lock to politely unlock itself. This effectively renders the entire Security skill optional, saving players time and skill points.
Then there’s the defensive power. “Shield” spells, especially the master-level"Aegis," can crank players’ armor rating to such absurd heights that physical attacks become little more than annoying pokes. Water Walking turns rivers into highways, and Burden slows enemies to a crawl. And who can forget the “Feather” spells? Carrying too much loot is a classic problem, but Alteration waves it away, letting players hoard every valuable item they come across without being weighed down.
6Restoration
The Art Of Becoming Unkillable
Restoration hides a surprisingly overpowered core inOblivion Remastered. Sure, being able to instantly recover from wounds using healing spells is undeniably powerful, but where Restoration truly shines in the realm of the overpowered is its ability to fortify attributes and skills. With clever spellcrafting, players can create “Fortify” spells that temporarily boost their stats to superhuman levels.
Need to carry a dragon’s hoard? Fortify Strength. Endless spells? Fortify Magicka. This capability allows players to effectively bypass skill requirements or compensate for weaknesses in their build on the fly. The “Absorb Health” spells are another nasty trick in Restoration’s arsenal, simultaneously damaging foes and healing the caster, turning any fight into a guaranteed win.
5Conjuration
The Summoner’s Army Unleashed
Why fight solo when Conjuration summons a crew? That’s the core appeal of Conjuration, and inOblivion Remastered, it’s a path to some serious power.The beauty of Conjurationlies in a simple, game-breaking fact: summoned creatures often don’t care about the player’s difficulty slider. This means that while enemies get tougher, the summoned Daedra Lord or Storm Atronach remains just as devastatingly effective.
This school also provides access to Bound Weapons and Armor. These armaments are Daedric-quality items that weigh nothing and can be summoned on demand, giving even the squishiest mage access to top-tier gear without the strength investment. For gamers who love to dominate, Conjuration’s the perfect choice.
4Destruction
Unleash The Wrecking Ball
When it comes to raw, unadulterated offensive power, destruction magic is king. This school is all about dishing out damage, and with a bit of know-how, it can trivialize even the toughest encountersinOblivion Remastered. It’s also extremely versatile, like fire for zombies and shock for wizards.
By hitting an enemy with a “Weakness to Magic” spell, followed by a “Weakness to Element” spell, and then finally the player’s chosen elemental devastation, the damage doesn’t just add up—it multiplies exponentially. High-level spells like “Blizzard” or “Flame Tempest” can clear entire rooms of enemies with a single cast. Forget a fair fight; Destruction is about making enemies explode with overwhelming force.
3Sneak
The Art of the One-Hit Wonder
For players who want a lethal approach to godhood, there’s Sneak. The power of Sneak lies in its massive damage multipliers for attacks made while undetected. 6x damage for melee attacks at the Apprentice level! This turns even a simple dagger into a weapon of mass destruction, capable of one-shotting most enemies before they even see it coming.
The true game-breaking potential unfolds as players reach mastery. The Master-level perk allows sneak attacks to completely ignore an opponent’s armor. This skill isn’t just about dealing damage, though. It’s about control. Being able to slip past enemies unnoticed means players dictate every engagement, or choose to avoid them entirely.
2Alchemy
Brewing Godhood In A Cauldron
The Alchemy skill allows players to combine mundane ingredients into concoctions with effects so potent they can completely shatter the game’s balance. Want to become virtually unkillable? Brew some super-healing potions that restore your health faster than any enemy can deplete it.
The true overpowered nature of Alchemy lies in its versatility and the ability to stack effects or create custom-tailored solutions to any problem. Need to take down a formidable enemy? How about a poison that paralyzes them, drains their health, and makes them vulnerable to magic, all at once? Leveling Alchemy can also be surprisingly quick, especially with mass production of simple potions, allowing players to tap into this immense power early on.
1Illusion
The Mind-Bending Masterpiece
The skill that redefines power in Tamriel is Illusion. This school of magic is the ultimate toolkit for bending reality and minds to the player’s will, offering some of the most insanely overpowered abilities inOblivion Remastered. The combination of “Invisibility” and “Chameleon” spells is legendary. While Invisibility breaks in the action, a 100% Chameleon effect is achievable through spells and enchanted gear, making the player completely undetectable.
But the madness doesn’t stop there. Got a room full of angry Daedra? A well-placed “Frenzy” spell can turn them on each other, creating utter chaos while the players watch from the shadows. For players who want to completely dominate nearly any scenario through mind control and perfect undetectability, Illusion is the perfect choice, and that’s why it’s gloriously overpowered.
