AION 2 Classes

Class names in the official update notes

Use this name reference alongside the class portraits and individual showcases above. The first eight entries are the Stigma names published in NC’s 25 March 2026 update; Brawler’s Gauntlets are a weapon, not another Stigma. These names help identify update coverage, not establish a damage ranking or the icon currently used by your client.

Eight or nine classes? Check the service behind the source

The current official global website, checked October 4, 2026, displays eight classes: Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Chanter, Cleric, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster. It uses the name Spiritmaster; this guide’s Korean-reference profiles use Elementalist for that role.

The Korean official guidebook lists nine classes, including Brawler. The global showcase does not include Brawler. This establishes what the website displays, not a client-tested availability statement or a future release schedule. Check your service’s current character-creation screen before choosing Brawler. The nine-class comparison below is a Korea-service reference.

Nine AION 2 classes in the Korean official roster

The nine listed classes are Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Elementalist, Cleric, Chanter, and Brawler. This page keeps the roster inline so players can compare the names, Korean labels, official role notes, portraits, and showcase visuals without opening nine separate pages.

The roster is a Korea-service reference. Check the local official service before assuming every class or update is available in a different region on the same schedule.

How the official updates frame the roster

NC’s March update described a class overhaul and named new Stigma skills for the original eight classes. Its July Chapter 1 update introduced Brawler as a Gauntlet user centered on front-line attacks and combo charges.

Those published descriptions are useful for understanding role direction. They do not make one class universally stronger, easier, or better for every mode.

Choose a main before launch—without treating a video as a tier list

The supplied pre-launch player video recommends making a first class choice before the character-creation screen. Its practical test is personal: pick the role you expect to enjoy for the time you can actually play, rather than copying a supposed best class from a trailer or ranking.

That is player-made preparation advice, not an official class system. This page does not use the video to confirm launch regions, prices, settings, progression, or economy details; those are separate questions that require current official sources.

Compare roles, then verify the live service

Use the official summaries to start with a role that sounds enjoyable: front-line protection, aggressive melee, ranged pressure, magic, spirits, healing, support, or Brawler’s Gauntlet combat. Actual performance will depend on service, patch, equipment, and content.

A dated player-made class explainer can help describe how a role feels, but it is not used here as an official tier list or a balance promise.

AION 2 class icons and symbols: identify the right class

Match the emblem below to its English name and Korean class label, then open the linked class guide. These are the original emblem-and-nameplate images from NC’s global website.

This reference covers the eight classes shown in that global showcase. It does not establish the exact UI icon used by every service or client version. Check the game title and service when comparing screenshots from AION, AION Classic and AION 2.

The global showcase calls 정령성 Spiritmaster; the Korea-service reference on this site uses Elementalist. Brawler (권성) appears in the Korean Guidebook, but is not included in this eight-class global artwork set.
