Aion 2 Database

How Aion 2 works

Aion 2 is a manual-combat MMORPG — NCSOFT has explicitly built it without auto-combat, around a hit-confirm system. The two factions of the original Aion, Elyos and Asmodian, return and fight over Realm-vs-Realm objectives on faction-separated servers.

Combat

Aion 2 drops the auto-combat convention common to the genre in Korea and runs on manual, skill-based input.

  • NCSOFT describes a hit-confirm system with no auto-combat.
  • Manual combat controls, positioned by NCSOFT as skill-based and action-oriented.

Factions

The two factions of the original Aion return: Elyos and Asmodian. Every class is playable on both sides.

  • Two playable factions: Elyos and Asmodian.
  • NCSOFT runs separate servers per faction to improve population balance.
  • Player characters are Daeva, as in the original Aion.

PvP and RvR

Realm-versus-Realm conflict between the two factions is the endgame pillar, carried over from the original Aion's Abyss.

  • NCSOFT states large-scale Realm-vs-Realm (RvR) battles.
  • Faction-separated servers are explicitly a PvP balance measure.

Dungeons and expeditions

Group content spans solo instances up to eight-player raids, with four expeditions named in English materials so far.

  • NCSOFT claims over 200 dungeons in total.
  • Group sizes range from solo to 4- and 8-player content.
  • Named expeditions so far: Krao Cave, Urugugu Canyon, Fire Temple, Draupnir.
  • Fire Temple returns from the original Aion with new boss mechanics and layout.

Character customisation

Character creation is a headline feature rather than a preset picker.

  • NCSOFT states over 200 character customisation features.
  • Cosmetic layers include skins, weapon skins, wings, pets and titles.

Wings and flight

Wings remain the series' signature system and appear in Aion 2 as both a traversal and a cosmetic layer.

  • Wings are sold and granted as cosmetics — the Founder's Packs include Blazing Sun Wings.

Every claim here is NCSOFT's, from their official English materials. Figures such as “over 200 dungeons” are their stated numbers, not our measurements.
