Dragonknight Class Overview
The Dragonknight Class is an extremely powerful way to play in The Elder Scrolls Online. Dragonknights have many similarities with other classes in ESO such as dedicated Class Skill lines for DPS, for Healing, and for Tanking. Dragonknights are known for their sturdy nature as melee combat specialists but also have many powerful magic abilities. For a more detailed guide be sure to review our ESO Dragonknight Class Guide.

Combat Tips
This build really shines when facing off against groups of enemies packed tightly together. When facing a group like this charge into a central enemy using Stampede. This will do lots of upfront damage (guaranteed crit) and should also proc Ashen Grip on the group. Follow this up with a quick light attack followed by Disintegrating Dragonfire to finish them off. If anything is left standing, fire off your Leap Ultimate or use another quick Stampede.
