What are the best solo builds for Nightblades in ESO?

MMORPGs are multiplayer heavy games by the very definition of the genre. However, not all of us enjoy depending on other players to tackle the content of these games. For some players, the appeal of MMORPGs is the idea of a consistent world where you can live your adventures by yourself, while other players go about their own lives all around you.

ESO is a game that really values the solo player. A huge majority of the content of the game can be finished as a solo player, with enough skill and the right combination of gear and abilities, of course. Here we will take a look at some of the best builds for solo Nightblades in ESO.

 

5. The Raven

Starting our list in grand style, The Raven is a solo Stamina Nightblade build that uses this class to its full potential, mixing the DPS and tank capabilities of the Nightblade. When you successfully combine durability with damage output, that is when you know you got a serious solo setup, and this build is just that.

What The Raven Excels at:

  • Can deal with tankier enemies due to its very high Offensive Penetration;
  • Very high sustain to your Health and Stamina provided by high Recovery values;
  • Constant self healing provided by the Ring of the Pale Order;
  • Very fast to clear big groups of enemies using the Thunderous Volley Bow;
  • Additional self healing with Critical Strikes while using the Briarheart set.

4. God Mode

Another great option when it comes to solo Stamina Nightblades builds is the God Mode by LuckyGhost. This build is entirely focused on dealing huge amounts of damage and destroying your enemies before they can do that to you. If you prefer to end your combat encounters quickly, then you might check out this setup.

What God Mode excels at:

  • Incredible burst potential on its rotation;
  • Constant high DPS due to very high Weapon Damage;
  • Additional stacking damage on light and heavy attacks;
  • Very high Stamina Recovery, allowing you to spam your abilities;
  • Constant self healing provided by the Ring of the Pale Order.

3. Brawler

The Brawler is a very powerful solo Stamina Nightblade build that focuses on very high single target damage output, strong damage shields and incredible self healing potential, meaning you will be all three of the holy RPG trinity on one character. On top of that, it is a one bar build, making it a very easy to master setup and just fun to play in general.

What Brawler excels at:

  • Powerful Critical Strikes due to very high Critical stats;
  • Abilities are spammable due to very high Stamina Recovery and reduced resource cost;
  • Easy to master and fun to play, being a one bar build using the Oakensoul Ring;
  • Very high survivability using the Hexo’s Ward armor set, which gives you a damage shield whenever you deal Critical Damage;
  • Powerful self healing, and all over healing is converted into even more damage shields.

2. Crimson Veil

Crimson Veil is the first Magicka build on this list and it is a very powerful one. This setup is all about turning you into a Magicka tank with its insane survivability. Furthermore, it has amazing AoE damage, meaning that you won’t have to worry about big groups of enemies getting in the way.

What Crimson Veil excels at:

  • Great for clearing huge groups of enemies due to its powerful AoE damage;
  • Lots of Magicka Recovery, meaning you will be able to spam your abilities without worry;
  • Very high Spell Damage, further increased by a constant source of Major Sorcery;

1. Blood Knight

Bringing together the best of Magicka and Stamina, we have a hybrid Nightblade build at the top of our list. The Blood Knight is an incredibly powerful setup that is almost impossible to be defeated. It mixes the One Handed and Shield weapon skills with Shadow and Siphoning abilities for an amazing combination that is perfect for tackling any ESO content as a solo player with confidence.

What Blood Knight excels at:

  • The combination of the One Handed and Shield, Siphoning and Shadow skill lines makes you very hard to kill;
  • Can deal tons of damage while doing great self healing at the same time;
  • Very high Weapon and Spell damage, meaning constant high DPS;
  • Huge bursts of damage using Relentless Focus;
  • Focuses on blocking rather than dodging, with additional damage and effects on your Bash.
