ESO Nightblade Builds
In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), you are free to carve your own path. Any class, any race, and any role – the choice is yours! Unlike many MMOs, ESO allows every class to thrive as a healer, DPS, or tank, giving you total freedom to play your way.
This page is dedicated to the ESO Nightblade builds you need for every situation. Whether you want deadly Nightblade DPS builds with high burst damage, reliable Nightblade healer builds, elusive Nightblade tank builds, or flexible solo and PVP builds that thrive on stealth and survivability, you’ll find them all here. Each build is designed to maximize the unique strengths of the Nightblade — assassination, shadow, and siphoning — making it one of the most exciting and versatile classes in The Elder Scrolls Online.
