Race
The Best Race for the Magicka Dragonknight Solo Build in ESO is Nord or High Elf. Nord is great for a defensive setup since it provides a boost to Health, Armor and Ultimate Generation. High Elf is good for a more offensive approach with a boost to Damage and Max Magicka. Dark Elf, Khajiit and Breton are nice alternative Races you can use for a Solo focused Build. Any Race with Magicka bonuses can work well though. You can find more about the playable races in my ESO Race Guide!
Vampire or Werewolf
Neither is necessary.
Best Companion for Magicka Dragonknight Solo Build
You can also bring along a mighty Companion in your Solo adventures! Companions in ESO are helpful allies that can assist you in combat. Every Companion can fulfill every role in the game and help you enjoy ESO more by clearing content faster or by simply interacting with them and their charming personality! There are various Builds you can use for every available ESO Companion!
As a Solo focused character my recommendation is to bring along a Tank or Healer Companion! To find out which ESO Companion is the Best in every role you can take a look at my ESO Best Companion Guide! To further maximize the potential of your chosen Companion, you can wear the Telvanni Efficiency Set! A Crafted Set that reduces the cooldown of your Companions abilities, improving their damage and overall effects and assisting you further in combat.
