Welcome to NirnStorm's guide to the new ESO CP system. In this guide, he will introduce the Champion system 2.0 of the Elder Scrolls Online and explain how to handle the system as a new player.

The New Champion Constellations
In the current
system, you begin to earn Champion Points (CPs) once a character reaches level 50. The nine constellations that used to
exist have been replaced by three new ones: Warfare, Fitness, and Craft. Each of these Constellations has
a different significance for your character and allows you to spend your
Champion Points differently.
The Warfare
Constellation (blue tree) consists of many different active and passive effects
that can improve your Damage and Healing abilities. It includes some layering
CP stars that contain additional stars of their own.
The Fitness
Constellation (red tree) has much fewer passive stars. Instead, it has many
active stars you can choose from, which affects mainly your Armor, Mobility,
and core combat mechanics such as Blocking, Dodging, and Breaking Free.
The Craft
Constellation (green tree) is very different from both of the previous ones. It
contains fewer passive/active stars and perks, but it has some significant
quality of life improvements that revolve around Crafting, Trading, Thieving,
and Fishing.
Passive CP Stars
To help explain
the system, let's focus on each Constellation a bit more in-depth and discuss
what type of points exist and what you should be looking at when you approach
it.
There are three
different types of CP stars you can unlock. First are the Passive stars. Those
stars are the ones in the center, which give you passive effects whenever you
unlock them. They act similarly to the CP stars of the old system. For example,
you can unlock the Eldritch Insight passive. Putting 10 points into it, it
would increase your Max Magicka by 260 points at all times, which will
instantly affect your character and will always be active.
Active CP Stars (Slot-able Stars)
These are the
glowing blue ones on the right side, which give similar bonuses to the passive
ones but require you to slot them into the Champion
Bar on the top. For example, Arcane Supremacy will also increase your Max
Magicka by 260 points if you spend ten blue points on it. However, for that
increase to happen, you have to drag the star into the Champion Bar on the top
to mark it as active. Each character can only have four active stars of each
color at any given moment as the rest will not grant their bonuses, even if you
spend points on them if they are not currently slotted.
Many of the active
stars are very powerful such as Cleansing Revival or Foresight. Cleansing
Revival allows you to remove all harmful effects from targets you heal under
25% Health. Foresight reduces the cost of your Healing abilities by 75% after
you drink a potion.
This type of
choice between stars is unique and interesting as it will force you to make
meaningful decisions for every character. The strongest CP setup will not
always be the same for different characters you have.
Layer CP Stars (Mini Trees)
The last CP star
type is the layer stars, which are two glowing purple stars. If you press on
them, they will open up a new mini tree, where there are additional CP stars,
on which you can spend more blue points. These two purple stars are the only
layer CP stars that currently exist. However, ZOS has openly discussed the
potential of adding more of those in the future.
Fitness
The Fitness tree
doesn't have any layer stars, and it doesn't have many passive ones. However,
it has many active stars, which glow with red, giving you some powerful effects
such as damage reduction while you're CC immune, health regen while your
ultimate is high, or damage shield increase.
Unlocking Additional Stars
Fitness is a good tree to showcase how you can unlock additional
CP stars by allocating points to others. To unlock the Mystic Tenacity passive,
you have to spend points on other stars first. For example, you can put points
into Tumbling to unlock it. But if you don't want to allocate points into
Tumbling, you can also unlock it by putting points into Sprinter, Hasty, and
Hero's Vigor first.
The red tree has
many great passives and even greater active stars that allow you to get
anything from damage mitigation, armor resistances, cost reductions, and
increased effectiveness of your Blocking and Sprinting.
Craft
The New Champion Point Cap
The cap for the
Champion Point system has been raised to 3,600. You don't need to have this
huge amount to be viable in PvP and PvE activities as a lot of these points go
towards active stars, of which you can only have four active stars of each
color. However, it is important to note that to be optimizing PvP and PvE, you
will need the vast majority of all the passive stars to be completed fully with
the addition of four active stars for each color. This total sum should be
roughly 2,400 CP, which is certainly scary if you haven't reached your first
thousand yet. However, the rate of how quickly Champion Points are earned has
been sped up to accommodate the increase in the Champion Point Cap in Update
29.
Champion Point Respec Costs
It does not cost
anything to change what you have currently slotted on your Champion Bar. The
only restriction is that you cannot be in active combat. The cost to respec
Champion Points will remain at 3,000 TESO gold.
