AION 2 Expedition Roles: Five-Player Party Guide
A five-player Expedition needs more than five good characters. The group needs clear responsibility for protection, recovery, target pressure, control, movement, and the mistakes that happen when a mechanic breaks the original plan.
Role Questions
- Who keeps enemy attention away from vulnerable players?
- Who restores the group after unavoidable damage?
- Who handles ranged pressure or target priority?
- Who controls movement, interrupts, or dangerous adds?
- Who calls the next position when the group must leave the main target?
Building a First Party
- Start with the class roles your group already enjoys.
- Cover protection and recovery before chasing maximum damage.
- Add ranged or control tools when the Expedition creates distance or target swaps.
- Agree on one person responsible for movement calls.
- After each wipe, change one clear variable and record the result.
Four Named Expeditions
The official global site highlights Krao Cave, Urugugu Canyon, Fire Temple, and Draupnir. Their settings differ, so the same party plan may not feel equally comfortable in every Expedition. Read the named-dungeon roster before copying a generic build.
Class Planning
Templar, Gladiator, Brawler, Cleric, Chanter, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, and Assassin pages should be compared by party job rather than a single universal tier. A class that looks slower in solo play may be valuable when an Expedition needs protection, recovery, or control.

FAQ
How many players are in an AION 2 Expedition?
The official global site describes the highlighted Expedition dungeons as content for up to five players.
What is the most important Expedition role?
The answer depends on the encounter. Protection, recovery, damage, control, and movement calls all matter when the group must respond to mechanics.
Should a party use five damage classes?
Only when the live encounter and group skill support it. A balanced first party is easier to learn because each player has a clear responsibility.
