The Warfare Constellation in The Elder Scrolls Online

Warfare, also known as the Blue Tree, is a Champion Point Constellation in ESO that focuses on player damage, healing and defenses.

The left side of the constellation with the staff is focused on healing passives while the right side with the extended arm is focused on damage. The head area includes many extended stars that will increase damage and add utility to your build. Finally, the body area of the constellation is focused around mitigation.

Warfare includes three sub-constellations that can expand your options and build customization even further. These are:

Warfare Tree Champion Point Stars

The Warfare Tree consists of 46 Champion Point Stars that can provide bonus effects to your character build in ESO. Some stars grant their bonus passively, while other stars must be Slotted on your Champion Point bar in order to take effect. Stars must be unlocked with Champion Points before you can use them.

For a detailed breakdown on how Champion Points work in The Elder Scrolls Online, refer to our Complete Champion Point Guide.

Best Champion Point Stars in the Warfare Tree

While you can unlock any Star of your choice in the Warfare Tree if you have enough Champion Points, some Warfare Stars are more useful than others. Our favorite stars in the Warfare Tree are those that provide the strongest bonus in as many situations as possible.

For example, Master-At-Arms boosts all Direct Damage abilities by 10 percent and Preparation reduces damage taken by 10 percent.

The best Champion Point Stars that you should focus on unlocking first in the Warfare Tree are:

Other Warfare Stars may be more appropriate for Tanks or Healers, but generally, most of the above Stars will be good in all situations.
