Other skill lines in Alliance War : Emperor and Support

The Assault skill-line is part of the "Alliance War" category in the Elder Scrolls Online. The Assault skill-line has active skills and passives. The Assault skill-line focuses on improving your combat capabilities in ESO.

How do you unlock the Assault skill-line?


To unlock the Assault skill-line you have to participate in PvP activities, after that the Assault skill-line will automatically appear in the Alliance War category.

How do you level up the Assault skill-line?


To level up the Assault skill-line in the Elder Scrolls Online you have to participate in PvP activities and earn Alliance Points, often referred to as AP. To gain Alliance Points you have to kill enemy players, conquering keeps, participating in Battlegrounds etc. However, in contrary to the Assault skill-line itself where you have to earn Alliance Points in order to advance, the skills can also be leveled up by simply gaining experience points from killing monsters or completing quests.

The damage numbers of the skills that you see below are used for comparison. The numbers are based on a naked level 50 character without any skills, passives, attributes and champion points allocated. Your damage numbers will change depending on what gear, skills, attributes, champion points, enchantments or buffs your character has.
