ESO Best Dragonknight Race

There are ten different races that players can select for their character in Elder Scrolls Online. Each of these races has its own passive skills and perks that can benefit the player throughout the game. Each of the three alliances has exactly three races to choose from, which can ultimately be paired with your Dragonknight class for additional benefits and perks.

5.  Khajiit

Since the launch of Elder Scrolls: Online, the Khajiit has always been a strong race to pair with the Dragonknight class. Khajiit characters can primarily focus on enhancing their stamina attributes, which is great for solo players that want to generate a lot of damage and stamina against their enemies. 

Why the Khajiit Race is Great for Dragonknights

• Khajiit can generate a lot of stamina.
• Dealing large chunks of damage can clear enemies out quickly.
• Khajiit Dragonknights have a large playbook of skills that are effective.

Pick the Khajiit Race if... 

• If you don’t mind ignoring the magicka attribute.
• You prefer using attacks that ‘damage over time’. 

4.  High Elf

High Elves are capable of generating a ton of healing while also doing a great job at holding onto its valuable magicka. You’ll have access to skills that regenerate your magicka and boost your healing capabilities by pairing this race with Dragonknight.

Why the High Elf Race is Great for Dragonknights

3.  Orc

Don’t underestimate the Orc race in Elder Scrolls: Online. This deceptive character race can easily be paired with your Dragonknight class to boost your stamina and health attributes to make your life a lot easier. Instead of relying on spells, this race specializes in dealing raw damage on its enemies.

2.  Breton

If your primary focus is boosting magicka, then you’ll be more than happy to create a Breton Dragonknight character build. You’ll be swimming in magicka as you progress through the game, starting with a larger overall chunk of magicka and having it replenish much quicker than alternative races. 

Why the Breton Race is Great for Vampires

Pick the Breton Race if... 

• You want the ability to remain stealthy and deal damage through magicka.

1.  Imperial

The ‘Imperial’ race is by far the most popular selection in Elder Scrolls: Online for players that want to build a character tank. Not only will your Dragonknight class boost your tanking ability, but the perks that come with the Imperial race will boost you with an additional chunk of health and stamina. You’ll also lose less energy when using your costly character skills and abilities.
