In Elder Scrolls Online you can choose from many different characters. If you want to use a Dragon Knight effectively and take advantage of the best bonuses, read the following article for tips on how to create the character and customize him as he levels up, as well as tips on how to play and fight effectively with this class..
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Choose the Race
Step 1. Play as Dunmer
Dunmers are one of the best choices for Dragon Knights, especially those who have to deal damage, whose powers focus on fire magic. In fact, Dunmers receive a bonus to fire damage, which makes them very dangerous. They specialize in two-weapon combat, so you won't be able to rely heavily on the damage of their weapons. Dunmers are available to those who have chosen the Ebonheart Pact.
Step 2. Play as North
Nords are a natural choice for Dragon Knights, because their racial abilities offer damage and defense bonuses. They also receive a bonus to two-handed weapons, which are the main weapon for this class. Nords are available to those who have chosen the Ebonheart Pact.
Step 3. Play as an Orc
Orcs are another natural choice for Dragon Knights, because their racial abilities are dedicated to maintaining stamina in combat and damage. They receive a bonus to heavy armor, making them excellent defenders and fighters. Orcs are available to those who have chosen the Council of Daggerfall.
Step 4. Play as Redguard
Redguards are born warriors, have strength bonuses and sword and shield combat; as a result they are perfect for dealing damage. They are also good defenders. Redguards are available to those who have chosen the Council of Daggerfall.
Step 5. Play as Khajit
While not ideal defenders, Khajits fill the role of damage dealers well because they have good melee skills. They also have a bonus on medium armor, which helps them resist hits. Khajits are not the best choice for this class, but they are best suited for those who have chosen the Aldmer Domain.
Method 2 of 3: Choose Skills
Step 1. Try the Burning Flame tree
These abilities are for dealing damage. They offer a lot of area attacks, all of them very strong. Long live the fire!
Step 2. Try the Draconic Power tree
These abilities allow you to heal yourself and, to some extent, deal damage. Some also allow you to block damage received.
Step 3. Try the Heart of the Earth tree
These skills are mainly used to strengthen your group and protect you, making this tree purely defensive.
Method 3 of 3: Using the Best Game Strategies
Step 1. Choose your role in the group
The exact role of a Dragon Knight depends on your play style. You will be able to choose skills based on the role you want to fill, so make your choices carefully and then continue to follow that path, to create an effective character.
- Fighters deal damage, dodge, or block attacks whenever possible. They try to avoid the attentions of the enemies, but to inflict the lethal blow. Two-handed weapons and a good stamina reserve are very useful for fighters. Those who want to fill this role should use the Burning Flame tree.
- Defenders must grab the attention of enemies and take their attacks, allowing other companions to inflict damage. Defenders play a vital role in any group in an online multiplayer game, so you'll need to take them seriously. The sword and shield style is best for defenders because it allows you to block more attacks. The most important factor for a defender, however, is a large health pool. Defenders should use the Draconic Power tree.
- Those in the support role focus on defending the group, not only dealing damage but also offering protection. He will use the Heart of the Earth tree group enhancement skills, as well as tactically defending other players, to help the group succeed.
Step 2. Choose the right weapon
You should use a weapon capable of inflicting severe damage on your enemies. The best weapons for this class are two-handed weapons, but you can also use a sword and shield if you want to play as a defender.
Step 3. Use heavy armor
The heavy armor and skill bonuses they offer will give you the protection you need to fill the roles of defender or fighter. Always wear such armor. The more equipment you wear, the greater the bonuses and the faster your skill level will rise.
Step 4. Increase your health
Health is the most important trait for a Dragon Knight, so increase it, upgrade it, and keep it. While having some magicka for special attacks is useful, focus mostly on health and stamina (which allows you to attack with weapons more often).
