A level 10 Eldrich Knight Fighter/10 Abjure Wizard gets up to seventh level spells, Second Wind, Action Surge, Fighting Style, indominable, bonded Weapon, War Magic, Eldrich Strike, Extra Attack, Arcane Recovery, Abjuration Savant, Arcane Ward, Protective Ward, Improved Abjuration. Your want high stats in strength or Dex and Intelligence.
Also remember that your attacks are based on wheather or not you profient + your attack stat. So you have as much chance to hit as a full level fighter with your attacks, and your spells are just as likely to hit as a full wizard, plus you have a ton of features. Prof is based on character level not class level. Also keep in mind that while your Eldrich Knight spells are limited to Abjuration and Evocation plus a couple of other spells, but the spells you gain as a wizard has no restriction and you use either set of spells in your spell slots. Oh and you get like 8 cantrips and Ritual Casting.
This build gets more spells then a 20th level Paladin, as many attacks as a Paladin.
So yeah you can have a very powerful multiclass Eldrich Knight/Abjure. And while Abjure dovetails thematically with Eldrich Knight, you can mix it with any type of wizard subclass. Want a more Death Knight feel, multiclass Necromancer (actually Eldrich Knight/Necromancer is a cool combo).
Or Even with other classes. A level 10 Eldrich Knight/ level 10 Tempest Cleric could be really cool, especially if you focus on lightening based spells and shocking grasp Cantrip.
