The Nightblade is one of the seven playable classes in The Elder Scrolls Online. Masters of stealth and subterfuge, Nightblades specialize in precise strikes, evasion, and resource manipulation. Whether you prefer burst damage, healing through life-drain, or defensive stealth tactics, this ESO Nightblade Class Guide covers every skill line — Assassination, Shadow, and Siphoning.
Each skill line defines a unique combat identity: relentless offense, defensive deception, or vampiric sustain. Below you’ll find direct links to all Nightblade skill lines, where you can explore detailed abilities, morphs, ultimates, and passives.
Assassination
AssassinationThe Assassination skill line embodies lethal precision and burst potential. Execute targets with ruthless efficiency, strike faster, and empower your attacks with critical bonuses. This skill line is perfect for DPS players seeking fast-paced, aggressive combat.
Shadow
Shadow grants control and survivability through deception and defense. Utilize invisibility, crowd control, and damage reduction to dominate the battlefield unseen. Ideal for tanks and PvP players who thrive on strategy and misdirection.
Siphoning
The Siphoning skill line manipulates life force to heal allies, drain enemies, and maintain resource sustain. Through leeching effects and restorative magic, Nightblades can recover resources and amplify their damage. A strong choice for hybrid healers and support-oriented builds.
The Nightblade is one of ESO’s most versatile and rewarding classes — capable of excelling in every role. Whether striking from the shadows, siphoning life to sustain allies, or evading death with stealthy precision, the Nightblade adapts to every encounter.
