I mean, there is always the assassins bow you get from saving Balgruuf in Whiterun. That bow packs a punch and makes sneak archer incredibly easy.... That aside, Daedric Bows with fiery soul trap (and with Enchanting lvl 100 maybe an extra enchant of your liking) tends to be the strongest i regularly use. Pair it with the Black Star and running out of souls to fuel the bow won't be an issue any time soon.
Favorite Bow has to be Auriel's Bow. But it's such a pain in the ass to get though. Ebony Bows are great for the early game and I try to get one as soon as possible. Stalhrim bows are amoung my favorites too because I just like Stalhrim stuff.

There's actually a small mistake here, and one that is commonly made. The best bow in Skyrim in terms of DPS is actually Zepher. However, if you are going for a sneak archer, then the Nightingale bow is better. Or the enhanced dwarven crossbow. Just keep in mind that it has an ungodly slow reload speed, so it's only good for eliminating a single target unless your sneak is high enough to keep you hidden while you reload. I happen to be playing an archer play-through right now, so I decided to share my knowledge. TL,DR: Zepher is best bow unless your sneaking, in which case this tier list is correct

I kill Elder Dragons with 3 shots from my crafted and upgraded Deadric Bow and every other enemy only take one shot when I'm in sneak. Except for bosses of course. I play on Expert, anything lower then that just takes any fun in the game away for me, as enemies will die with just one or a few hits even if you barely do any damage and I'm thinking about bumping up the difficulty. So I would say, the best bow is one that does the most damage in a single shot unless you prefer to be needing to shoot multiple arrows for something to die. (No exploit bows that do millions of damage of course..) Someone know, why I still come across regular Dragons even though I'm lvl 64 already? It literally only takes 1 arrow for them to die..

Lol all my builds become sneak archers. Best bows are always going to be those that you create with blacksmithing. Once you max it, apply fortify restoration potion then equip maxed out fortify smithing gear and get the best results possible. Then even iron weapons will improve up to Legendary status. Then if you have the ability through enchanting, make a helmet and gloves with fortifiy archery. My character 2 / 3 shots most Legendary Dragons. 5 shots if not in sneak.

Can confirm that darkening the sun with Auriel's how helps with sneak, counts as shadow everywhere for the Nightengale perk that makes you invisible in shadow and moonlight. I'm kicking myself about the Nightengale bow...it's one of the 1st bows I get...on purpose ..and I never knew it scaled up if I get it later. 😢
I have always liked the bound bow especially after picking up the related conjuration perks.. It even allows you to use physical arrows if you equip them so the various elemental arrows can be used if you want. It can trap souls and dispel summoned critters as well if the perks are selected,

Well the new update hit me today. I now have over 1000 broken mods. I just purged them and started a new game and am slowly adding the updated creation stuff I already own. I don't think I know of Bloodthirst.
I love the stalhrim bow and how It enhances the chaos and frost enchantments, its upgraded to do lots of damage and combined with my more bow damage enchantment it has a base damage of over 1000
My honorable mention would for sure be Firiniel's End. While "only" a frosty elven bow, it can be acquired pretty early and easily, and stealth archers will be more likely to pick its tempering perk over the dwarven ones. In fact, having a tempering perk at all means that it will eventually surpass the Nightingale Bow.
I’m usually just using a dragon bone now that I enchanted myself using twinsouls
Dwarven BBOF is my favorite bow. The glowing inscriptions when you draw the bow looks so amazing😍
This is beautiful Mako Finisher, thank you

Zephyr is my best choice. Go with paralyzed poison and quick shot. Infinity stun.
I haven't played in years and just got the Anniversary Edition and was playing last night. Got a quest in whiterun to stop an assassin from killing the jarl of whiterun.

Honestly the bow I prefer to use is the Bound Bow. After all, using it may require Conjugation magic, and a base 180 Magic points, It has 100 arrows for each time it is used. With each summon,It refills the Bound Arrows. Plus when you fully upgrade the Appropriate Conjuration skills, and a maxes out Archery skill, it becomes one of the best bows.
I'm playing Skyrim for the first time in years and I was wondering what was the most powerful bow in the game just find out that the Nightingale Bow is the most powerful, sadly I did not now about the recommendation of picking it up after level 46 and the thieves guild was one of the first things I did in this run. I was level 18 or something...

Another great video caedo!
Like the video. Have played with most of the bows you listed. Being that I frequently max out my Blacksmithing perk tree best bow for me is usually self crafted. And with the addition's added by Anniversary Edition, Enhanced Crossbows can also now be obtained outside the Dawnguard DLC now. So anyone siding with Volkahar can now obtain many of them. Kinda nice. And elemental bolts are also carried randomly by Fletchers and Traders. As for Zephyr, maybe it's just me, but the fast draw on the bow, and the perk they never actually work for me. Sure it draws fast, but if I release immediately afterwards the arrows always fall at my feet.
The Zephyr is obsolete as soon as you get Auriels bow, it has the same draw speed and it has higher base damage, not even counting the enchantment. My favorite bow is the bound bow. When you get the mystic binding perk, it has 24 base damage. It is 4 points higher than the dragonbone bow and it has a faster draw speed, making it the bow with the highest base dps in the game.

To get a dragonbone bow, you need 100 smithing. If you don't want to grind smithing, they don't start to appear in the game until level 45. It takes a long time before you can find/craft and enchant a bow that is more powerfull than the bound bow.

Oh lord I need to try this. I never played the dlc(s) back in the day and just picked skyrim back up
I do remember going to High Hrothgar one time and seeing the Dwarven Black Bow of Fate sitting atop of their counter just inside the back door. Up the small stairs towards the double doors that lead out back there is a counter and on top of it I found the Dwarven Black Bow of Fate. I have played countless characters and only once did I find it there. I can't even remember how far into the games questlines I had gotten. So I am not sure. But I havent been able to find since then.
theres also a resonance gem in Nchardak, the sunken city where you go with neloth to get the black book
I've had Auriels bow and the nightingale bow which is pretty good. I usually play Mage then Archer when the magic runs low. Playing in VR reloading is as fast as you are. Initially I played using swords as I learnt to play using the PlayStation controller, I did have move controllers but found it difficult to transition. When I got a VR capable PC I learnt to do everything with those controllers and transitioned to archery. Much prefer the freedom of PC and modding has completely revitalized the experience.

You can have more damage with less weight too
I usually have a quicker draw speed bow for close stuff and a heavy damage bow to assassinate from farther away. I've never specifically looked for a weapon.
Bound bow level 1. Game set! Ancient shrouded armour for the extra bow dmg also available at level 1 or well very low level. Frokis cabin, kill and take his ring and amulet both have extra bow stats. Your op as f**k all before you start the main story. Enjoy. You can buy muffle to quick level Illusion to 50 and conjuration level 20 is easy for mystic binding. My favorite start to skyrim. I must play another way lol love the stealth archer too much. Well I'm off to look at some builds to try something new lol.
As far as bows go I use a dragon bone bow with the chaos enchantment, that is random to do either for eletric or frost damage one at a time, same thing on my dragon brown sword
BTW, you can increase your draw speed even more by becoming a Vampire and taking the Necromage perk from the Restoration Tree before you take the Quick Shot perk from the Archery Tree.
I really love using Auriel’s bow and I’ve wanted to use Crossbows but I just love bows too much
I prefer the Daedric bow because it seems like even though it doesnt have the highest base damage it has the hardest snap which creates maximum velocity behind the strike and I use chaos and soul trap I know there are a lot of people who might not use the chaos enchant but if you build your build right you can get the enchant to proc atleast 80% of every shot if not more personally I get the chaos proc atleast 90% of the time. Shoot while in sneak and you create more impact and more impact improves your chances of the enchant going off.

I use bow as main and dual dagger as secondary. I do sometimes use magic.
Blocking out the sun, sneaking and using archery bonuses all while seeing in the dark.... makes life easy
i usually have at least one type of bow my most recent being legendary dragon bone bow with chaos enchant... but like i realized that i use magic most so kinda use bound bow more than physical bows and typically use my crossbow for vampires i use the summoned bow not only for infinate arrows but also cause it doesn't have any weight to slow me down and can summon it anytime rather than going through weapons of invatory to select a bow. but also cause even though physical arrows don't weigh anything they still clutter up your invatory too much but with bound bow you get the bow and spectural arrows
The enhanced dwarven crossbow with explosives bolts and the elemental fury shout which you can glitch into being able to learn as an enchantment if your quick. With all the perks and the enchantments available it is 100% the best weapon in the game and can be the fastest as well.
I’m kitted out with full Stahlrim. The bow’s enchanted with chaos, while alongside I have the arrows, Hacknear’s armour and all related accoutrement.
I really like using my Stalhrim Bow max upgraded and enchanted with Chaos damage and Fiery Soul trap hehe Being real now, I really like Auriel's Bow and Zephyr from your list.
Ancient Technology will also send you to modded locations for the schematics. Ive had Schematics located on Wyrmstooth before
A Stalhrim Bow with the random elemental damage handcrafted and hand enchanted can be the best bow, heck, the best weapon, in the game.
Zephyr can stack with the ring of the wind and illusion potions. Since ring of the wind does effect swing draw speed. Then necro vamp gives another 25% on top of that combo. Illusion pots can be drank before equipping allowing for a 200% ish boost too
I never used Zepher or quick shot on my VR playthrough because it’s all just dependent on how fast you can reach behind your back, nock, aim, and release
You can make better stuff with ice enchanting on stalhrim bows.
Self-made Dragonbone Arrow improved and treated with lvl 100 enchanting. Thank the Nine for the Dragonborn DLC, this way one can relocate points to Smithing, do all the crafting/improving and then moving the points back to continiously used skills. Goes well with my also self-made full Dragonscale set.
I've got 4 out of the 5 in my inventory because i forgot about the merchant, but i have an ebony bow of blaze at 81 damage that i use most i also have 4 out of the 5 one handed swords because I haven't joined the dark brotherhood, I'm also carrying round 443234 gold
I always prefer the Enchanted Dwemmer Crossbow ever since getting the DLC as it's just a fun thing to use.
I could be wrong on this I have not checked it out myself but I think you are incorrect on you mention of the glass bow of the stag Prince being marked permanently stolen if you pickpocket you might be able to sell it in the ragged flagon and then buy it back with the stolen Mark removed I know you could do that with other items
You could solve the dwemer puzzle for the black bow... Or you could phase through the gate with wooden plates
There is also The Black Bow from assassin. gives 60s of invisibility when drawn. Have to take assassin quest from proventious in Whiterun.
Love to see it
Great videos! Thank you Camhock Gotlieb! Great channel new sub!
I like the Kajit and sneaking and bows are my preference.. nice tips.. thanks,,, i have never used mods in this game. just play differently every time i play.. and i do craft alot..bows and enchant them.. I wonder if you can actually take these bows to get their enchantment to your collection to enhance other bows that are crafted?
I've never been able to get Zephyr working perfectly in tandem with the Quick Shot perk. If I release the arrow as soon as it's fully drawn, it just kinda flops out of the bow with little power. If I give it another half second or so after fully drawing, it works fine. Definitely a perk better used with slower, higher per-shot damage bows or crossbows IMO.
if you have enough gold you can fence your stolen items at the thieves guild (like a pickpocketed bow for instance) and rebuy it removing the stolen identifier
i usually put a LOT of effort into enchanting and smithing... so my favorite is a self-crafted Dragonbone bow with a Lifesteal enchantment or a Manasteal enchantment. oh, and i mostly use self-crafted Dwarven arrows, since making LOTS of them is my favorite way to practice Smithing.
Thanks to the Creation Club/Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, there is a way to get Zephyr's draw speed up to a ludicrous level. Vampire Necromage + the Bloodworm Helm of Gallows Hall gives vampiric Drgonborn 50% magical effects, this includes Perks and Weapon/armor enchantments. So Grab Necromage, then put on the Bloodworm Helm, THEN get the Quick Draw perk. Quick Draw's 30% will be boosted to 45% faster Draw Speed. With this Setup of Bloodworm+Necromage will also boost Zephyr's enchantment to the same 45% faster draw speed. Meaning Zephyr has the capacity to draw an arrow 90% faster than any other bow in the game. We can make this even crazier by throwing in the Slow Time Shout, Mid Range Combat like this turns enemies into pincushions before they get anywhere near you.
I'm currently using a Daedric bow that does 331 damage not including the arrow damage. Even on master difficulty I can kill giants in one hit.
Imagine the enhanced dwarven crossbow with the chaos enchantment

chaos+fiery souls
..and now #1 "The bow of Shadows" thanks to its ease of getting it, highest damage and fire rate, and its unique draw speed and 30 sec invisibility buff

I wish that invisibility wasn't there. It's annoying.
Oh btw, the atherium wars can be found on farengar's bookshelves
i love the nightingale bow but didn't realize it could be better by waiting to be a higher level
the Kajit is my fav character,, or a little the wood elf.. still like the dragon bone bow.. tried many others that as you showed are decent..
is it me or does the silver sword have a infinite charge with the undead enchantment the one i have sets them on fire and captures the soul but i never had to use a soul gem to recharge it

Capture soul refills it
I Used the one frome the Nightingales the best 2 Different Elements at once
I'm always using a Daedric bow with soul trap on it. Thinking about switching to a dragon bone crossbow ... same enchantment.
The Dwarven Enhanced Crossbow wipes the floor with the rest of these bows...
The nightingale bow can be made with a ebony bow and dual enchantment perk. I personally side with the dwarven enhanced crossbow. Honestly that thing is a beast. Especially after you upgrade it at a smithy, enchant it. It becomes even more of a beast if you use a fortify smithing potion n wear gear dedicated to that enchantment.
I tend to stick with the Bound Bow
My bow when upgraded does 96. And has the chaos damage which deals 130 damage But with a enchanted necklace that increases bow damage by 44% it goes from 96 to 130 something That’s like 260 each hit
I buy all of the soul gems that I can and shoot everything that moves, so I have a simple soul trap hunting bow. Was the easiest to get with the second quickest firing speed, plus benefits from the steel smithing perk, and is tempered with leather strips.
The stalhrim bow is the most powerful if you add chaos and frost damage and have all the perks to buff fire, frost and shock damage.
to draw quicker you can use the slow time shout.
Dwarven Black Bow of Fate usually.... I play as a Tanky character normally board and sword or 2 handed.... got just enough archery and sneak perks to be pretty good with a bow.
