How many classes are in Aion 2?
Last updated: 2026-10-16
There are eight classes at global launch: Templar (main tank, sword and shield), Gladiator (melee bruiser, greatsword), Assassin (melee burst, dagger), Ranger (ranged physical, bow), Chanter (hybrid support, staff), Cleric (primary healer), Sorcerer (ranged magic burst, spellbook) and Spiritmaster (summoner, orb).
Classes are not faction- or gender-locked — both Elyos and Asmodians can play all eight — and every character starts as an Adventurer before specialising.
Details
Pick by role, not by hype: Templar anchors the frontline, Gladiator flexes between tanking and damage, Assassin rewards positioning, Ranger pressures from range, Sorcerer brings burst and crowd control, Spiritmaster keeps dealing damage while moving, Cleric is the primary healer, and Chanter is the hybrid support that solos comfortably.
The Cleric's weapon (reported as a mace by community sources) is not confirmed by NCSOFT — one of several details worth confirming in-game on the global client.
FAQ
Is the Brawler in the global version?
No. The Brawler exists in the Korean and Taiwanese service but is not in the global launch roster.
