Nightblades in Elder Scrolls Online are adventurers and opportunists with a gift for getting in and out of trouble. Relying variously on stealth, blades and speed, Nightblades thrive on conflict and misfortune trusting to their luck and cunning to survive. The player is free to focus on one line or distribute points across many, allowing for deep build customization. Class Skills rank up by having them on your Skill Bar while gaining experience. The more skills of a particular line on your bar, the faster you will gain experience in that Skill Line. Current cap is level 50 for these Skill Lines (which is the same as other Skill Lines).
Assassination and shadow skill lines mainly contain Magicka-based skills, while the Siphoning skill line has skill based on health and 2 stamina variations. You may want to invest more points in Siphoning if you lack healing measures, otherwise chose Assassination and Shadow skill lines for offensive and support.
Some sets or Champion System may improve the effectiveness of skills, please see their respective pages for more information.
