AION 2 / Field guide
Choose an AION 2 class
Compare the eight classes featured in the official Global overview, with separately labelled Taiwan weapon and role details. Filter responsibilities without a made-up tier list.
Global's current overview features eight classes. Taiwan's official class category also lists 拳星. Eight is the scope of this Global overview, not a claim that every regional client has the same roster.
Find a role to investigate
Filters describe the sourced role and a broad toolkit category. They are not a performance score. Weapon detail below comes from Taiwan guides; the Global overview confirms class names and broad roles.
All eight Global-overview classes are listed. Taiwan also documents an additional class.
- Gladiator
Frontline fighter with a large blade.
Taiwan weapon: Greatsword. Melee attacker wielding a greatsword. The guide describes high attack and defense and a possible secondary-tank role.
- Templar
Shield-focused frontline protector.
Taiwan weapon: Sword and shield. Frontline tank using a one-handed sword and shield. Has skills that protect allies as well as personal defenses.
- Assassin
Stealth-based close-range attacker.
Taiwan weapon: Daggers. Uses stealth to approach and attack from behind. Fast dagger attacks combine with poison, stun and chained techniques.
- Ranger
Ranged hunter using precise shots.
Taiwan weapon: Bow. Uses a bow for powerful ranged attacks. The guide emphasizes surveying the fight and reacting with suitable tactics.
- Sorcerer
Arcane spell attacker.
Taiwan weapon: Spellbook. Ranged magic burst attacker using a spellbook. The guide describes lower health and defenses, with control skills helping before enemies approach.
- Spiritmaster
Elemental-spirit combat specialist.
Taiwan weapon: Orb. Summons elemental spirits to assist combat and deal damage indirectly. Uses status effects and damage-over-time skills to weaken opponents.
- Cleric
Life-preserving healer.
Taiwan weapon: Mace. Restores allies' health and fills a healer role. The guide emphasizes maintaining healing and protecting the party.
- Chanter
Ally-buffing support.
Taiwan weapon: Staff. Supports allies with buffs and can apply status effects. The guide describes secondary healing and damage alongside increasing ally stats.
Why this is not an S-tier list
A PvE damage test, a PvP matchup and a group-healing responsibility answer different questions. The official role descriptions support choosing a toolkit; they do not support a patch-independent strongest-class ranking.
We have no controlled cross-class benchmark or independently verified current tier methodology to publish. Use the comparison to shortlist roles, then review the selected class and the version-specific skill choices. A weapon label or a filter match is not a DPS prediction.
Can you change class?
The reviewed Taiwan creation guide documents choosing a class for a new character. It does not establish a universal free class change, a reclass level or current price for an existing character. Check the current client and service notice before acting.
