Guard barracks are an ideal location for this. General tips for increasing combat skills are provided at General Combat Strategies.Ī good way to increase your skill in heavy armor is to equip a full set (shield included) with the shield enchantment, then have as many NPCs as you can find attack you at once. If you block using your hands, both your heavy armor and Block skills will increase. Let an enemy hit you repeatedly without blocking and your skill will increase. To maximize heavy armor skill increases, you should wear an almost complete set of heavy armor (boots, cuirass, gauntlets, greaves, helmet but no shield). Your heavy armor skill increases by 1.25 experience points for every hit taken (assuming the area hit is wearing heavy armor), whether due to melee or archery combat.
