Skyrim Altmer Combat Information
Altmer is one of the most suitable races for a Mage style or a Battlemage style playthrough. With skill bonuses to every single Magic Skill, the Altmer is a good base for players looking to be Magic oriented in their adventure of Skyrim. The 50 Magicka increase will help with the amount of spells the player can use, this is especially useful early on when spell cost reduction effects are out of reach and can be viewed as 5 extra levels worth of stats.
Magicka regenerates slower in combat so the Highborn power to increase magicka regeneration can be extremely powerful for mages in a a bad situation to either fuel more spells to finish the combat or quickly use some defensive spells to heal or ward off damage. Altmers also come with the spell Fury learnt, a good control spell to use in early combat to create chaos in a fight.
