A core choice at the start of your journey in the Shadowlands will have you decide where your allegiance lies; would you rather support the Kyrian of Bastion, the Necrolords of Maldraxxus, the Night Fae of Ardenweald, or the Venthyr of Revendreth?
While the decision of your Covenant is impactful, it is a choice that can be changed quickly once you reach Shadowlands' endgame. Through this choice, your rotation changes, certain bonuses appear in dungeons for your entire group, and you are able to follow the story in different paths.
In this Shadowlands guide, we will help you choose the right covenant for your playstyle, based on how much they impact your performance as a Frost Death Knight, updated for .

About the Author
I'm Bicepspump, a semi-hardcore player currently playing on Kazzak. You can often find me on the
Death Knight discord
discussing rotations and builds, on my stream (
B1cepspump
), running some juicy Mythic +, or on my
youtube channel
where I've started doing video guides. Big shoutout to everyone on the Acherus discord that have given me valuable insight through numerous discussions. I take part in writing and optimizing the action priority list for SimulationCraft and continuously test different hypotheses using the SimulationCraft program. Furthermore, I work with the WoWAnalyzer website where I develop modules for the Death Knight specs. Please feel free to contact me on
Discord
as Bicepspump#6318, I'm always happy to have a healthy discussion! Outside of playing WoW, I work as a data scientist and enjoy playing other games such as Dota 2!

Choosing a Covenant is a
difficult
choice to make. This is good because it means that they aren't vastly different in terms of power. They all bring something different to the table, both in terms of the Covenant Class ability, the Covenant Signature ability as well as the different Soulbinds. Do remember to value your own preference when choosing a Covenant, it's completely fine to pick a Covenant because you like the transmog or theme!
Covenant Choice Changes with Patch 9.2 for Frost Death Knight
The main difference for us in 9.2 will be once we get the double legendary.
蔓延转移
is a very powerful second legendary for Mythic+, moving us to prefer Night Fae in mythic+ once we obtain double legendaries.
Best Frost Death Knight Covenants for Raiding
All covenants are generally close in most situations, making the choice difficult.
Venthyr
has great potential in cleave where you can extend your
冰龙吐息
to 60+ seconds. This is a bit of a liability though since the increased
冰龙吐息
is more susceptible for disruptive mechanics.
Necrolord
is solid across the board and brings the most single target.
Kyrian
brings good single target, essentially tied with Necrolord. However, it doesn't scale that well in cleave and AoE
Night Fae
is second best for pure single target and really good for cleave and AoE. The strength gain and
湮灭
is really good. Furthermore, it brings the most amount of mobility, really useful for us slow Death Knights.
The winner is
Necrolord for its versatility across the board.
Generally, Night Fae is your strongest covenant in all content. The extra cleave from
消亡之债
and the highest single target throughput makes Night Fae an excellent choice! Necrolord is also viable, bringing similar single target throughput. Furthermore, you get lots of extra utility with
憎恶附肢
which can be really good on specific fights/ dungeons.
Best Frost Death Knight Covenants for Mythic+
For Mythic +, we value AoE and cleave more. I therefore recommend choosing Necrolord until you pick up your second legendary. Once you've managed to obtain the covenant-specific legendary, I recommend running Night Fae in Mythic+. Both for the
湮灭
as well as the huge strengths gain.
Frost Death Knight Covenant Analysis
Kyrian
Kyrian brings
失格者之梏
Class Ability which is a solid single target spell. It generally ranks first in terms of single target output among the Covenants. It also has potential in AoE through the spread mechanic of the DoT. We generally value the soulbind spells that this covenant ability triggers more than the spell itself.
召唤执事者
provides a potion called
静谧之瓶
. This provides a solid heal as well as a cleanse of disease, poison, curse, and bleed.
For soulbinds, Pelagos works really well for
湮没
due to the 1 minute cooldown windows. It's good for
冰龙吐息
as well, with Kleia being another viable pick due the the high crit..
Venthyr
Venthyr provides
云集之雾
which does solid single target damage and scales really well in AoE. It also generates Runic Power and can often be used to take advantage of the additional gain when there are multiple targets (which is true for the majority of bosses). This synergises heavily with
冰龙吐息
due to the value of Runic Power with this build.
暗影之门
is a solid Signature Ability, helping us with our lacking mobility. Being able to teleport across mechanics or simply cover a lot of ground can be really useful!
Venthyr generally has two competitive soulbinds, Nadjia and Theotar. Generally, I'd recommend Nadjia for raiding and Theotar for Mythic+.
Night Fae
We get
消亡之债
when we choose to pledge our loyalty to Night Fae. This replaces
枯萎凋零
for us, effectively just adding the
消亡之债
effect to this ability. The ability is great for cleave and AoE through the
湮灭
cleave. It deals big damage and stacks up the strength buff quickly. It's important to remember that DW and 2H gets stacks at the same rate, 2 for every
湮灭
that hits a target.
灵魂变形
is such a great ability for us slow Death Knights. Both a teleport and a 50% movement speed boost is such nice utility. When covering large ground or dodging mechanics, this ability will just be so useful, I love it.
When it comes to Soulbinds, Dreamweaver is generally the best choice!
Necrolord
憎恶附肢
is the ability we receive from Necrolord. This does solid damage and also provides Grip utility. The extra grip is really nice and will find use in Sepulcher of the First Ones! The 3 procs of
白霜
is nice for AoE damage!
血肉铸造
presents a nice shield that is useful as a defensive ability. However, it requires you to channel for 3 seconds to gain it. This makes the ability less useful in raiding scenarios since you're most likely going to want to do something besides channel a defensive CD.
Soulbinds see situational choice in different scenarios. Marileth is generally the single target pick, with Emeni seeing some play as well. Heirmir is picked up in Mythic+ content due to the huge crit buff!

This doesn't make sense and it's a total mess. So hypothetically playing a dps everything it's fine with the covenant i pick then i decide to change my spec to tank and my covenant sucks. So that means i have to play damn "lotto" all the time because blizzard can make the balance between the covenants and the specs. That it's awesome..

I'm having a problem with my Frost DEATH night being recommended for the fairy covenant.

Thank You DocTater I feel the same way about my Frost DK identifying with a group of fairies, no offense Blizz, but it just does not seem proper :( I'm switching now ty and hoping it changes somewhat later on....

Usually, I'm the kind of person who struggle to make choices.
On the RP side by itself I don't really know which covenant I feel closer to as a Frost DK..
And including the whole optimization aspect makes me even more lost ! xD

This guide seems to not factor in that some (many?) players may not want to only Raid or do M+ as a major part of their end-game.
If either of those DO play a major part in what you do at L60 (max. at the time of posting this), then fine - I'm more than happy to just finish storylines &/or do WQ ad infinitum... if only there was a way to be Covenant agnostic/independant?
