Dragonknight Class Guide • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

Dragonknight is a pretty straightforward, beginner-friendly class with a mix of offence and utility. You’ve got strong physical damage, a few helpful party-wide abilities, and some nice synergy if you know what to look for. One of my favourite tools here is Molten Weapons, especially if you’re lucky enough to find a Claymore of the Crucible – turning all your combat dice into true damage and spreading it around is just ridiculous. Dragon Blood is also amazing, probably one of the best party utility abilities in the game, letting you clean up over fatigue on the fly, which completely changes how you approach certain risks.

In this video, I go through all the Dragonknight abilities, compare the novice and master sides, and explain why you might not want to rush the upgrade unless the situation lines up. I also cover race picks, my full stat placement, what skill lines I prefer, and the best item synergies to look out for. Near the end, there’s a solo gameplay demo so you can see how the build works in action, including some nice moments where Cleave wipes a whole group and Executioner deals with a stalwart enemy in one shot.
