Laánissa, The Champion of Apocrypha | Skyrim Build Guide
Laánissa is an Ayleid from the city of Bisnensel and a Priestess of the Primal Seekers - a cult worshipping Hermaeus Mora. Through decades of study and devotion to Hyrma Mora, Laánissa gained entrance to Apocrypha, where she remained for millennia. As Miraak's influence grew, the Seekers and Lurkers gradually became more Hostile towards Mora's other devotees. Laánissa found herself victim to an attack by these rogue Daedra and was felled. Or so she thought. Miraculously, Laánissa found herself transported to Tamriel. Was she saved by Hyrma Mora, or some other power? All she knew was that she had to do everything in her power to return to Apocrypha and defeat the traitorous Miraak!
I hope you enjoy the video and try the build yourself.
The build was made in Skyrim Anniversary Edition and can be completed in Skyrim Special Edition. Played on Nintendo Switch, so no mods!
The entire playthrough was on Legendary difficulty.
