S Tier
Assassin
Best overall class in Aion 2 2026 right now. Extremely high burst damage. Strong mobility + stealth. Dominates 1v1 PvP, small-scale PvP, and performs excellently in PvE. Scales incredibly well with gear and skill. Can delete targets before they react. Assassin simply does everything well and has no real weaknesses in the current meta.
PvP: Top-tier ambush, kill pressure, and outplay potential
PvE: Excellent DPS, fast clears, strong boss damage
A Tier
Sorcerer
Sorcerer is a classic glass cannon. It has excellent damage output and strong crowd control, but survivability is its biggest issue. Massive AoE and burst damage. Strong CC and zoning. Weak defensively – positioning is everything. High risk, very high reward.
PvP: Deadly if protected, but vulnerable when focused
PvE: Top-tier damage dealer, especially in AoE content
Ranger
One of the most fluid and enjoyable DPS classes. Excellent mobility and kiting. Consistent ranged damage. Strong PvP pressure and PvE uptime. Slightly squishy, but extremely effective in skilled hands.
PvP: Great in open-field fights and duels
PvE: Solid DPS, very smooth gameplay
Templar
Tanky bruiser with PvP presence. Strong survivability. Good control and frontline pressure. Lower damage than pure DPS classes. Reliable, durable, and valuable—just not explosive.
PvP: Very strong in organized fights and objectives
PvE: Useful but slower compared to DPS classes
B Tier
Gladiator
Strong, but less dominant than expected. High melee damage. Good mobility. Suffers from balance inconsistencies. Still strong, just not meta-defining right now.
PvP: Can shine, but struggles against burst and CC
PvE: Solid but outperformed by Assassin/Sorcerer
Spiritmaster
Utility-heavy, misunderstood class. Damage relies on pets and setup. Strong debuffs and control. Performance varies heavily by region and content. Not weak—just harder to play and less straightforward.
PvP: Can be strong with coordination
PvE: Decent sustained damage, not bursty
Cleric
Mandatory PvE class, weaker PvP impact. Best healer in the game. Extremely valuable in endgame PvE. Low damage output. Power comes from utility, not damage.
PvP: Limited kill pressure
PvE: Essential for most group content
C Tier
Chanter
Strong design, weak numbers. Amazing buffs and smooth gameplay. Low damage hurts both PvP and PvE impact. Shines only in coordinated groups. Needs a damage buff to climb tiers.
PvP: Low pressure, supportive role
PvE: Helpful but often replaceable
