In the ESO Battlegrounds objectives and strategies, you’ll learn all the basics about battlegrounds games. We present an in-depth explanation of battlegrounds’ objectives and tips for new or levelling characters. Later in the guide, we added details about ESO Match Making Rating (MMR) and the best way to farm alliance points (AP) in the Battlegrounds.

ESO Battlegrounds objectives and strategies

In Battlegrounds the match objective is also picked randomly:

Deathmatch:

Find and kill enemy players. The team with the most kills wins the game. Multiple kills grant you additional points. Remember that everyone in battlegrounds should have some kind of healing ability equipped, but having one player with a build dedicated to healing in PvP (builds HERE) is very beneficial. You earn points for killing players, assisting in killing, and healing the group.

Flag games:

Land grab:

In Battleground matches, teamwork is extremely important, as well as off-healing. You can also enter the battleground as PvP Healer, and focus on your group’s survival while your other teammates will try to reach the match objective. Battlegrounds are a PvP activity so is advancing your war rank and rewarding you with AP.

How to farm Alliance Points (AP) and Alliance War skill trees in Battlegrounds?

To boost your Alliance Points (AP) gain in Battlegrounds use a special consumable called theColovian War Torte. The ESO Colovian War Torte increases the AP gain by 50% from all sources for 30 minutes. The timer pauses when you are offline, and continues when you return. This bonus is compatible with other foods or drinks.

The Recipe for Colovian War Torte, can be found only in the Cyrodiil zone. The small book with a green glow around replaces the classic materials node and is very rare. Once you pick it up it becomes an item the “Recipe: Colovian War Torte”.

What is ESO MMR (Match Making Rating)

ESO Match making Rating (MMR) is a hidden score of every character that defines “skill tier” and what tier opponents you will encounter in a battleground match. We don’t have any information from ZOS on how it exactly performs in ESO, however, we have some theories.

In theory, MMR has a couple of tiers but looks like sometimes it’s ignored and you can be placed with players from a higher tier. MMR is distinctive for each character and not the account. So it isn’t guaranteed that you will be always placed with the same “skill tier” players. Furthermore, looks like MMR is based on objective games score. So your points at the end of the match have a higher impact on the MMR than kills, assists, healing or deaths (exception is deathmatch). MMR is not defined for each type of game mode, instead is shared across all of them. Meaning if you are good at deathmatch games but not with flag games you will be placed based on your overall MMR score not your MMR in the specific game mode. The battleground’s leaderboard represents overall scores, so illustrates how much you play.
