Build smarter. Level faster. Dominate Skyrim. Our Skyrim Build Calculator lets you plan your character from the ground up. Allocate perks, assign skills, and optimize your Dragonborn across all 18 skill trees. Whether you’re crafting a stealth archer, battlemage, or dual-wielding tank, this planner helps you prepare the perfect path — including support for Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs.

What Is the Skyrim Build Calculator?

This tool is an all-in-one Skyrim character planner. It combines perk trees, build strategies, and level-based progression into a single tool — ideal for players who want to avoid wasted points and create an efficient, lore-accurate build.

Why Use a Build Calculator?

In Skyrim, every level gives you a perk point. But perks are limited. Without a plan, you might overspend or underperform. This calculator shows you exactly where to invest based on your desired playstyle and helps you visualize your path to power.

How to Use the Skyrim Build Calculator

Step 1 – Choose Your Class Archetype

Pick from presets like Stealth Archer, Pure Mage, Warrior Tank, or start from scratch. These presets load base skills and perks for each build.

Step 2 – Allocate Perks by Level

Use the visual perk trees to spend points. The calculator shows available perks based on required skill levels. You’ll also see how many points you’ve used and how many remain.

Step 3 – Plan Attributes and Skill Focus

Balance your Health, Magicka, and Stamina to match your combat style. For example, mages should prioritize Magicka, while tanks need Health and Stamina.

Popular Skyrim Builds You Can Try

1. Stealth Archer

Max out Sneak and Archery. Use Light Armor and invest in Alchemy for poisons. Prioritize backstab perks for huge crits.

2. Battlemage

Focus on Destruction, Conjuration, and Heavy Armor. Dual-cast spells with tanky gear for sustained damage.

3. Two-Handed Warrior

Go all-in on Two-Handed, Block, and Heavy Armor. Great for fast leveling and brute force melee combat.

4. Spellsword (Hybrid)

Balance between One-Handed and Destruction. Use a sword and spell combo for flexibility in close and ranged combat.

All 18 Skill Trees Supported

The calculator includes all core skill trees:

• Combat: One-Handed, Two-Handed, Block, Heavy Armor, Smithing
• Magic: Destruction, Alteration, Restoration, Conjuration, Illusion, Enchanting
• Stealth: Sneak, Lockpicking, Pickpocket, Speech, Light Armor, Alchemy

Includes Dawnguard & Dragonborn DLC Perks

Plan advanced builds with Vampire Lord, Werewolf Perks, and Crossbow mastery.

Legendary Skills & Reallocations

Once a skill reaches 100, reset it to legendary and reclaim perk points — ideal for high-level or long-term builds. This calculator supports that too.

Build Optimization Tips

Start with Core Combat Trees

Focus your first 10–15 perk points on your main damage type. Support trees like Alchemy or Enchanting can wait until midgame.

Avoid Perk Redundancy

Don’t invest in both One-Handed and Two-Handed unless you use both. Same with Armor types — specialize to maximize damage reduction.

Use Save Presets

Save and load builds to experiment with different archetypes. This also helps plan out modded playthroughs or roleplay characters.
