Aion 2 Classes Guide
The eight launch classes, roles and weapons — identical on Elyos and Asmodians.
Global Aion 2 launched with eight classes available to both factions: Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Cleric and Chanter. Community databases list Brawler as upcoming, not as a current launch class on this page.
| Class | Weapon (typical) | Role notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gladiator | Greatsword | Melee tank/DPS hybrid, straightforward kit |
| Templar | Sword and shield | Classic melee tank |
| Assassin | Daggers | Melee DPS, stealth and back attacks |
| Ranger | Bow | Ranged physical DPS |
| Sorcerer | Spellbook | Ranged magical DPS |
| Spiritmaster | Orb | Ranged DPS with summons |
| Cleric | Mace | Primary healer |
| Chanter | Staff | Support healer/DPS hybrid |
Roles in groups
Solo content is designed so every class can progress. Group content still wants a tank, healer and damage. Stigma skills and Daevanion boards open as you level; they do not change the eight-class launch roster.
ESP class labels
If you use class ESP, these are the names you should expect. This guide does not invent extra classes or faction-only skills.
