The Bloodskal Blade is one of the best Two-handed weapons in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim thanks to its unique ability that turns it into both a ranged weapon and melee weapon. The greatsword has a base damage of 21 and, but during power attacks it unleashes an energy blast inflicting an additional 30 damage, this is as strong as many bows in Skyrim.

Weapon Enchantment

The Bloodskal Blade unleashes a ranged energy blast with each power attack that deals 30 damage to any targets it hits.

• The enchantment has unlimited uses, so the weapon never needs to be recharged.
• The energy pulse has an approximate travel distance of 15 feet and has the ability to penetrate obstacles, including walls. Additionally, it has the capability to pass through multiple targets simultaneously, causing damage to all affected!
• While the Bloodskal Blades ranged attack lacks significant power, it possesses the ability to stagger most adversaries it connects with. Furthermore, the ranged attack extends to any opponent struck by the blade itself, establishing it as one of the most versatile and well-rounded two-handed swords accessible in Skyrim or Solstheim.
• Executing a left, right, or backward power attack generates a horizontal wave, while a forward or standing power attack produces a vertical wave. The direction of the energy wave aligns with the Dragonborn's facing direction and serves the purpose of unsealing the location where the blade is located. Notably, its enchantment grants it the lengthiest reach among melee weapons.
• Due to its distinct enchantment, the blade cannot undergo disenchantment at the arcane enchanter, or have any additional enchantments applied to it.
• The Bloodskal Blades enchantment damage increases relative to the player's level, providing a boost of +30 damage when the player is below level 50 and +50 damage when the player reaches level 50 or above.
