Leveling AvA Rank & Assault/Support Skill Lines

Once you reach character level 10 you can unlock the Alliance War's Assault & Support skill lines by traveling to Cyrodiil or entering Battlegrounds. Earning Alliance Points improves both your skill levels and your PvP rank.

Hints for gaining Alliance Points:

Campaign Scoring

Although each Rank covers 2 Grades, to keep the table from becoming even more cumbersome I'm highlighting points at which your title changes or you unlock Alliance War Skills.

It should be noted that values shown below reflect the ability and/or morph once it is fully trained which sometimes differs from earlier costs, durations, or damage values. All costs and damage values here are without attribute points placed, without equipment, without passive skills acquired or active skills slotted and without champion points spent to make it easier to compare skills regardless of gear/build differences.

Since Mundus buffs can be changed but not removed, either no mundus buff was in place (template character on PTS) or the Lover mundus (which only alters penetration) was used.

Remember that if a skill costs Magicka, it scales with your maximum Magicka (and Spell Damage) while if a skill costs Stamina, it scales with your maximum Stamina (and Weapon Damage). Ultimate abilities and Synergies scale with the combination that provides you with the best offensive stats.
