65

Dragon Shouts are an ancient form of magic that uses incantation to equip specific abilities to the Dragonborn. 

There are over twenty shouts that you can learn from Word Walls scattered in a different location. In this post, we will narrow down the best Shouts and where to find them.

1. Dragon Aspect 

The Dragon Aspect portrays the real feature of both the dragons and the Dragonborn. No other Shout can transform a Dragonborn as much as the Dragon Aspect does. 

Once activated, the character will be granted ethereal armor and powerful abilities for a given time. Power attacks and resistance will increase by 25%. Armor rating will rise at a whopping 125%. Recharge time will decrease by 20%. 

On top of that, the shout will boost all your other Shouts to make them more powerful. Should the Dragonborn’s health fall below 50 percent, you can summon the Ancient Dragonborn that can provide help in using multiple shouts.

Keep in mind that it will take a full 10 minutes before you can use any other shout. But you can lessen the recharge time by using the enchanted Amulet of Talos.
