AION 2 Class Choice: Pick a First Main
Use this AION 2 class choice guide to decide between frontline, ranged, support, healer, control, and summon roles before locking in a first character.
AION 2 Class Choice: Pick a First Main Overview
Class choice is a decision page, not a list of names. The useful comparison is how a role behaves in solo exploration, a five-player Expedition, and the Abyss when movement and objectives matter.
Confirmed Information
- AION 2 has eight unique classes in official NCSOFT material.
- The class system is connected to party play, exploration, flight, and faction PvP.
- Class comfort, role demand, and current balance are separate questions.
Player Workflow
- Write down whether you prefer close or long range.
- Decide whether you want to protect, heal, support, control, or pressure targets.
- Choose one class page and one neighboring role to compare.
- Make the first character a learning tool, not a permanent promise about the meta.
- Update the choice after you experience real combat and group content.

FAQ
Should I choose a DPS class first?
Choose the role whose decisions you enjoy. Frontline, support, recovery, and control classes can all be strong first characters when the player understands the job.
Can friends choose different factions?
AION 2 uses Elyos and Asmodian conflict, so party and faction plans should be checked for the service and server you intend to use.
