ESO Endless Archive: Magicka Dragonknight Solo Build

By Michel Z Wed Nov 22 2023 07:37:48 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

The Elder Scrolls Online has introduced a new feature called Infinite Archive (formerly known as Endless Archive), where people can delve into an ancient library located in the realm of Apocrypha, ruled by the Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora. If you prefer to explore this endless dungeon by yourself, this Magicka Dragonknight solo build can be of great assistance.

In this article, ArzyeL Gaming shares a dedicated solo build designed to provide defense, survivability, and damage, helping you progress in the Infinite Archive. Of course, you can also use this build in the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows.

Pro tips: While making a solid Infinite Archive build, a good amount of gold will be handy for getting the necessary items in ESO.

Gaze of Sithis is a Mythic item acquired through the Antiquities system. Since defense is the build's No. 1 focus, you are using the Gaze of Sithis instead of the Ring of the Pale Order.

You can use Order's Wrath to replace False God's Devotion for a no-trial gear setup and help you progress in the Infinite Archive.

Iceheart and Ring of the Pale Order are a couple more sets you can use.

Cauterize increases your Spell and Weapon Critical rating and heals you or an ally.
