Stamina Nightblade Gank

Kunoichi is a Stamina Nightblade Gank PVP Build in ESO, perfect for open world gameplay in Cyrodiil and the Imperial City. This is a Stamina Nightblade Melee Gank PVP Build that is focusing on boosting your damage in order to execute your target fast. Kunoichi is not a build for prolonged, “fair” fights. Pick your targets, finish them and escape.

The Build is using the Oakensoul Ring Mythic Item to boost its damage and kill enemies fast! To obtain the Ring you must first find its five Leads! Kunoichi is basically an One Bar Gank Build in ESO!

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Nightblade Beginner Guide. If you are looking for a Bow Gank Build take a look at Arbalest. For a strong, brawler type, Stamina Nightblade PVP Build take a look at my Elusive Warrior.
