AION 2 Class Tier List - Solo farm (Korea / Taiwan)
Korea and Taiwan run the same, more advanced version (Chapter 1 "Land of Sand and Frost"; the Brawler was added on July 1, 2026), so they share one list.
Open-world farming and leveling alone: sustain, pack clearing, safety and kill speed without a party.
Editorial ranking compiled by Shugo.GG from evidence only: damage logs from the community meters NotMeter and Abyss Logs (compared at equal combat power where possible), each class's share of NCSOFT's season rankings (the top 100 of all 42 Korean servers, relayed by community sites since NCSOFT's web ranking page is offline, and Taiwan's last snapshot), named editorial reviews and creators who show their data, and NCSOFT's balance notes for the facts. Group value (tanks, healers, party buffs) counts in PvE. Boosting-service and content-farm lists are not used. Reviewed after each balance patch. Updated 2026-10-04.
S tier - Top picks
- Gladiator - #1 in the one-person Nightmare dungeon on 40 of 42 Korean servers, with nearly half of all top-10 slots.
- Spiritmaster - Well above its player share in the solo Nightmare rankings: the spirits tank while it deals damage.
A tier - Strong
- Sorcerer - Above its share in the solo Nightmare rankings; fast clears but fragile.
- Ranger - The most common class in the solo Nightmare top 100, safe at range.
B tier - Solid, situational
- Templar - Hard to kill but slow; slightly under its player share in the solo rankings.
- Brawler - Too new to show in the solo rankings; its boss damage is the highest at equal combat power.
C tier - Struggles in this role
- Assassin - Rare at the top of the solo Nightmare rankings, with about 1% of the top-10 slots.
- Cleric - Survives anything but kills slowly; under-represented in the solo rankings.
- Chanter - The least represented class at the top of the solo rankings: its strength is the party.
