(Spoiler) How to obtain: Just like the previous entries, these staves are relatively easily to encounter. With the Frost & Storm staves, you can summon an atronach up to 22 times before a re-charge is needed, compared to 15 times with the Flame atronach staff.


The reason I only included Frost & Storm while disregarding Flame is simply due to the charge amounts. If you’re a mage for example, you’ll be able to have up to two allies taking enemy aggro while you gun them down from range. Summoning atronachs to help you in battle can be a practical way of diverting attention from yourself. You can also purchase it from a number of mages at the College of Winterhold. (Spoiler) How to obtain: Found as random loot. Not the most powerful staff you’ve ever seen but it can be useful in boss fights. It’s best used alongside your companion, as it grants the target extra health and stamina as well as preventing them from fleeing from battle. This staff provides a huge amount of uses before it runs out, making it an awesome choice for your early adventures. You can also find it as loot randomly, if you’re extremely lucky. (Spoiler) How to obtain: You can purchase this staff from vendors, although it does come at a high price. The reason it’s only number 10 on the list is due to its rarity, as well as it only having 48 charges before it has to be re-charged with a soul gem. It deals 60 points of fire damage which is of course, incredibly high, even more so when you consider the fact that it deals bonus damage to targets already on fire. Starting off simple, the Staff of Incineration is a considerably powerful weapon, capable of melting enemies with ease. It’s definitely worth keeping a staff on you during your travels, they offer so much.Īlthough this is a list of the best staves in Skyrim, every single staff is useful so feel free to use the best one you have, even if you don’t have any on this list.īut if you have a lot of staves and you want to know which one you should be using, the following entries will tell you all you need to know!

They have powerful enchantments, these are capable of turning the tide of a fight or making an easy fight last just a few seconds. Staves are a rather underutilized weapon type in Skyrim.
