About the Authors
This guide has been written by Panthea, who raids in
Catalyst
(Tarren Mill-EU) and Mandl (Mandl#0001 on Discord). They are both tank multiclassers and Useful Minions for the
Acherus Death Knight community
, where they answer questions regarding death knights and discuss class and encounter strategies.
Covenant Changes with 9.2 for Night Fae Blood Death Knights
Covenant Legendary Tuning:
NEW
蔓延转移
now grants 3% bonus strength per stack, up from 2%, to a maximum strength buff of 20% (4x3 + 4x2 from baseline
消亡之债
).
Covenant Changes with 9.1 for Night Fae Blood Death Knights
New Covenant-Exclusive Legendary:
NEW Night Fae Legendary
蔓延转移
: The strength buff (
not
the debuff on target) from
消亡之债
provides more strength and lasts 2 seconds longer. While you and your target are in
消亡之债
, you generate 20% more runic power.
There have been no fundamental changes to the Night Fae covenant or any of its abilities for Death Knights in 9.1.
Night Fae Blood Death Knight Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Death Knight Class Ability:
消亡之债
As one of the only Covenant choices that
modify
an ability present in your base toolkit as opposed to adding a new spell to it, allegiance to the Night Fae Covenant gives you a replacement for
枯萎凋零
:
消亡之债
!
This spell does exactly the same amount of damage and is modified by the same effects as
枯萎凋零
, but has an additional catch: while
you and your target
are in
消亡之债
, and they take damage from your
心脏打击
, two things happen:
You gain a stack of a 2% strength buff stacking up to 4, with a 12 second duration.
The enemy is afflicted with a stack of a 2% damage reduction debuff, stacking up to 4, with a 12 second duration.
The strength buff is refreshed regardless of which debuff was refreshed. As long as you are not dealing with more than 5 targets, refreshing both and keeping both the debuff and buff on every target at maximum stacks is somewhat simple. Beyond this, due to the cleave count limitation on
心脏打击
, you will struggle to keep the debuff on all mobs.
Night Fae Death Knight Conduit:
凋零之地
This conduit just adds damage. A
lot
of damage, once you have a high enough conduit rank.
You get an item-level appropriate version of it, and you plug your character into raidbots, and it tells you whether this or
凋零之疾
has more value.
Fortunately for us, there are more interesting conduits available to us, albeit slightly. This one just happens to also be numerically strong. We described them in the conduits guide linked below:
Blood Death Knight Conduit Guide
Night Fae Death Knight Signature Ability:
灵魂变形
By choosing Night Fae, you gain access to your very own travel form. No longer do you have to look at druids and shamans with envy, as you, too, can now turn into
something
, lose access to all your abilities while transformed in exchange for a decent speed boost and a blink.
A couple of Soulbind choices add things to it, such as a targeted stun after blinking, or a heal-over-time effect while in it. The core message is still: it's a travel form. You're
completely
useless during it.
Night Fae Exclusive Legendary for Blood Death Knights
NEW Night Fae Legendary
蔓延转移
: The strength buff (
not
the debuff on target) from
消亡之债
provides more strength and lasts 2 seconds longer. While you and your target are in
消亡之债
, you generate 20% more runic power.
This legendary would be a lot better if it also increased the duration of the damage reduction debuff; as it stands, due to this, and due to being a tank (and damage reduction being, you know, somewhat valuable to us), this means that we will still have to refresh
消亡之债
early.
The Runic Power generation bonus is weak and trounced in numerous scenarios by other legendaries. As a result, we advise against crafting this as a standalone legendary.
Once you have access to
团结的回忆
. this becomes a
very
potent addition alongside your regular legendary choice.
Other Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Blood Death Knights
There are no real niche or non-standard builds as Night Fae, not even thanks to it repurposing
枯萎凋零
and a couple of legendaries firing off it. At best, you can make a tenuous case when you have the 4-piece for
猜疑之息
, but this is typically outclassed by
赤红符文武器
in all content.
Uninitiated blood death knights will be tempted to make a
very
weak case on the value of
死亡终途
due to its CDR property on
消亡之债
. However, due to the 50% cooldown reduction present on the spec aura (and mentioned nowhere in your spellbook),
消亡之债
is already a 15-second cooldown, and casting a new one despawns the original. Not just that,
赤色天灾
cannot proc while
消亡之债
is on the floor; as such, incentivizing this playstyle means you'd have wasted the value of a full rune
and
a potential proc, to keep an effect that you could keep up without any of these.
If you are in this situation, you'll find a WeakAura to highlight the impending expiration of your last
消亡之债
cast. This should solve most of your upkeep problems.

Best Night Fae Blood Death Knight Soulbind
Best Night Fae Blood Death Knight Max Renown 80 Soulbinds
Niya is essentially the strongest soulbind available to you for all situations. Korayn's upfront burst is not something that Blood Death Knights can make use of, and Dreamweaver is a very risky gambit due to
灵茧守护者
essentially disabling you for 10 seconds.
It is worth noting that you need a member of another covenant to be one of the five closest players to you for
联结之心
to activate.
Night Fae Blood Death Knight Covenant Rotation Changes
消亡之债
The Night Fae class ability
消亡之债
actually modifies your rotation in multiple ways:
You are
strongly
incentivized not to drop the stacks. This means that there will be cases where you will need to hardcast
消亡之债
once in a while, to make sure the stacks will not fade. This requires a
bit
of extra thought as refreshing requires two runes: one for
消亡之债
, one for
心脏打击
.
Because the buff and debuff refresh and reset their duration to 12s when refreshed, you are also strongly incentivized to track when your
消亡之债
is about to expire, and make sure to cast
心脏打击
just before it does.
This is cognitive overhead that you will likely need to know and recognize. There are a couple of weakauras that can help - ideally, you want to track
消亡之债
expiration, and buff expiration. We have a couple of weakauras in the guide for you.
Blood Death Knight Rotation Guide
灵魂变形
You will typically be using this ability infrequently to travel between packs, or put distance between you and mobs. It is worth remembering that you will be entering a state while using it, where any cast of any other ability will drop you out of it. As a result, consider the trade-offs, but it is still worth using.
The blink itself has situational uses in M+ as a skip tool.
Night Fae Blood Death Knight Talent Builds
Choosing Night Fae may devalue
猩红余味
due to the infrequent requirement to hardcast
消亡之债
without a
赤色天灾
proc. Whilst not significant enough to force a change in talent, it is something to be aware of.
Blood Death Knight Talents
Night Fae Blood Death Knight Gearing Differences
Following the trend set by previous expansions, Blood Death Knights still prefer raw item level upgrades over specific secondary stats. The addition of
消亡之债
slightly increases the value of haste, but not enough to be noticeable.
As usual, we encourage you to sim yourself, and to also consider that, for generic play, the primary budget (stamina + strength + armor) provided by item level upgrades typically outweighs "better" secondary stats.
Night Fae Blood Death Knight Soulbinds Explained
Allegiance to the Night Fae of Ardenweald grants access to three Soulbinds, with varying degrees of use:
Niya
,
Dreamweaver
, and
Korayn
. These are the NPCs you meet and quest with in the zone, and in the endgame, they allow you to attune yourself with them for extra perks.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential Conduits to slot in, below. Do bear in mind that Endurance Conduit choices will largely depend on which encounter you will be progressing, as their value changes dramatically based on the requirements they enforce.
Niya is a Soulbind with early choices buffing your effective health, and late Soulbind choices providing
very
competitive DPS if a target meets one of the possible criteria: interruptible, or slowable. Her notable abilities are outlined here:
林地复兴
provides 2 stacks of a 1% max HP and 25 mastery whenever you cast
消亡之债
. The max HP may be situational; the mastery itself is not bad, but sort of weak. You'll also gain random procs of this outside of these casts when they fix the spell.
尼娅的工具:锉刀
provides a
very
competitive amount of DPS when a target walks into it.
尼娅的工具:毒药
provides a DoT applied by successfully interrupting a target. Lasts 30s, your interrupt is on 15s, and it deals extra damage if it is triggered while already on target. If
灵魂抽取
wasn't enough of an incentive to kick stuff, this should surely seal the deal. With our 4-piece bonus, the additional Potency conduit makes this choice a deadset favorite over the alternatives even if you do not interrupt anything.
幸存者集结
is a very simple emergency heal, triggerable every 60 seconds. You will have no issue triggering this as a blood death knight.
Finally,
联结之心
provides trickle healing to nearby targets and has the potential to turbo-charge
林地复兴
if you can get it to land on a member of another covenant.
In addition to this, just like all other Soulbinds, she modifies your
灵魂变形
in one of two possible ways:
不休不疲
gives you a HoT for 5% every 3 seconds during it, or a 20% heal over the entire duration
保持移动
reduces the CD of
灵魂变形
and reduces it even further when you kill things. You will rarely need this cooldown reduction, however, particularly considering the trade-off of not being able to do anything during it.
Dreamweaver's late tree potential is marred by one
huge
problem: you cannot avoid its very first trait.
灵茧守护者
is ideally suited for DPS and healers, as it allows them to "die" without consequences. As a tank, the story is a little different: "dying" while
灵茧守护者
is off cooldown causes you to:
Drop threat.
Be impossible to CR while you are in the pod.
Make you unable to do anything as you watch your team get slammed by whatever it is that killed you.
In more ways than one, it would often be better to die outright and be CRed by somebody else, rather than to have this 10 second "pause". It is impossible to cancel other than by deliberately keeping it on cooldown. And while, granted, it is slightly more valuable in raids due to having two tanks, it is still a concern if a fight has a tank swap that would cause the other tank to die if you die.
Due to this
incredible
drawback, we strongly recommend
avoiding
Dreamweaver altogether, unless you are absolutely certain that
灵茧守护者
can be turned into something that is not a risk. The rest of his tree is not worth this gigantic hassle.
Korayn is very much a hybrid soulbind, in that you can build a tree for two purposes with him.
If you'd like
mad upfront burst
, you can choose the following:
争先打击
causes you to have a bonus 25% critical strike chance on anything that you damaged before they damage you, for 5 seconds. As we have very little upfront burst, the best you'll be able to do is to fit two
血液沸腾
into it, making sure to activate
争先打击
with
消亡之债
instead.
狂野狩猎策略
grants you an additional 5% potential damage the moment a mob drops in execute range.
If, on the other hand, you would like a more balanced/defensive tree, you can choose the following:
坚守阵地
rewards you with 15% physical damage reduction while being stationary
勇面敌人
is a weaker, 3% damage reduction that works on everything
狩猎刺激
works out to 3% leech with 100% uptime.
Finally,
沃卡伊伏击
allows you to gain an additional 5% damage reduction after stunning or kicking a mob
Both of those purposes are strictly inferior to Niya. We do not have enough on-pull burst to justify
争先打击
, and the damage reduction does not make or break any scenario, not compared to the
insane
mastery and max HP Niya brings to the table.
Double Legendaries for Night Fae Blood Death Knight
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Night Fae Blood Death Knight even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

very nice guide! honestly i love the fact i chose night faye at my blood dk convenent. thanks for reminding us regarding the " Relish in Blood" talent, and i wasn't really paying attention to not "drop stacks" when having death's due up. I love the soulshape ability, so i can jump and escape from hard hitting mobs in mythic plus, so glad we are getting a buff too soon XD

Niya's Tools: Burrs damage works even if the target can't be slowed, like bosses.
