AION 2 Classes: Eight Global Roles and Tier-List Limits
Compare the eight classes named by the official global teaser, with attributed role labels and regional roster limits.
The official English global teaser names eight classes. Choose a role and play style before following a tier list: the reviewed sources do not provide a controlled, current-patch DPS ranking, and a fan report of an additional KR/TW class is a separate regional claim. New Global fan leveling planners provide class-specific starting references, kept separate from a tier ranking.

| Class | Reported role | Preference to explore |

| Templar | Tank | Front-line protection |
| Gladiator | Tank / DPS | Melee damage with front-line responsibility |
| Assassin | DPS | Close-range damage |

Keep regional rosters separate
The unofficial AION2 Hub reports Brawler for KR/TW alongside eight global launch classes. This research has not independently verified the ninth class in the current regional client. Do not silently add a reported regional class to a global launch roster.
Evaluate a tier list before using it
- Check the client region and patch date.
- Identify whether the ranking concerns solo progression, dungeon groups, raids or a particular PvP format.
- Look for comparable gear, skill setup and player experience rather than a single damage screenshot.
- Use the role table to create a shortlist, then test the controls in an available supported client.
Role labels are attributed to a fan companion. They are not proof of optimal builds, current balance, drop rates or the strongest class. No S-tier list is generated from unverified ranking posts.
Original sources were reviewed October 3–4. The additions were read on October 7, with each source’s region and date retained. No live client, purchase or reward test was performed.
Read a class-specific plan
- AION 2 Templar: Manage Attention and Defensive Timing
Use the reported Provoke and shield tools to support a tanking task, while separating a threat problem from an avoidable positioning mistake.
- AION 2 Gladiator: Set Up the Knockdown Follow-Up
Use the reported knockdown and follow-up relationship, then choose between an extended melee exchange and moving out of danger.
- AION 2 Assassin: Plan the Opening and the Exit
Use the reported stealth opening and fast follow-up without confusing a successful first hit with a safe prolonged engagement.
- AION 2 Ranger: Keep a Useful Ranged Position
Combine the reported Bow attacks, traps and mobility so you can keep shooting without treating distance as permanent protection.
- AION 2 Sorcerer: Create Space for Fire Damage
Use the reported ice control to keep dangerous enemies away, then choose an appropriate fire attack while preserving a defensive option.
- AION 2 Spiritmaster: Choose the Spirit for the Problem
Use the reported elemental summon roles to address damage, resources or enemy attention, while continuing to manage the caster’s own actions.
- AION 2 Cleric: Balance Healing with Resource Recovery
Use the reported direct healing, regeneration and MP-restoring attacks according to the party’s pressure, rather than treating every moment as a damage race.
- AION 2 Chanter: Keep the Support Role Useful in Melee
Combine the reported Staff combat, Mantras and supplemental healing according to what the party needs, rather than claiming the hybrid replaces every dedicated role.
- AION 2 Skills: Separate Mastery, Stigma and Presets
Use the reported two-tab skill structure and quest-gated Stigma unlock, then make one purposeful setup for the content you actually play.
- AION 2 Dungeon Party: Agree on the Roles Before Entry
Build a group for the actual Expedition size and discuss attention, healing and damage responsibilities before copying a regional composition.

gaming.tools now provides separate Global leveling references for all eight classes. Their starting focus gives you a concrete setup to inspect after choosing a role; it does not establish which class wins comparable dungeon or PvP tests.
