What’s Reported From the KR/TW Service

  • Its kit is AoE-shaped: multi-target burst heals, damage-absorbing shields and a healing summon
  • Several heals can be charged — more potency and a larger radius at the cost of more MP and a longer cast
  • Single-target throughput is not its strength
  • Reported that its healing alone does not carry a party through the hardest content — you still have to move

Community-reported — KR/TW live service, late September 2026. Not confirmed for the global client.

How the Cleric Plays

The Cleric is the class every group needs and nobody wants to be short of. Where the Templar decides where a fight happens, the Cleric decides whether it continues — and the way it does that is deliberately wide rather than precise.

KR/TW data describes a kit shaped around multiple targets at once: burst heals that hit a radius, shields that absorb incoming damage before it lands, and a summon that pulses healing on the ground while you keep moving. Several of these can be charged for a bigger, wider effect at the cost of more MP and a longer cast.

Two consequences worth knowing before you commit. First, single-target throughput is not its strength — if you expect to be the person who saves one tank from a spike, the kit is shaped differently from that. Second, sustained healing is reported to taper at the top end, so good Cleric play is as much about positioning and dodging as it is about casting.

It is also the only class that can actively dispel debuffs, which is the kind of utility that quietly becomes mandatory once a raid has mechanics built around it.

The Cleric’s skill list on this page still fills in as the global client’s data gets confirmed — but the first tested build is already out: the Cleric build linked below, built from a community video guide on the global early-access client and labeled community-reported. The groundwork every build rests on — Cleric’s main weapon, role, party slot and combat style — is covered above, so you can plan a direction before day one.

Should You Main the Cleric?

Pick it if

  • You want the fastest group queues in the game — every party needs a healer
  • You like keeping a group alive over a long fight rather than landing one big play
  • You want a class that is reported to solo comfortably while still being core to group content

Look elsewhere if

  • If you want to be a single-target specialist healer, this kit is reported as AoE-first
  • Healing alone reportedly does not carry the hardest content — positioning matters as much as output

AION 2 Cleric FAQ

Is the Cleric the only healer in AION 2?

It is the primary healer. Chanter brings off-healing and support buffs, but is not built as a main healer.

What weapon does the Cleric use in AION 2?

Community sources list a mace. NCSOFT has not published a weapon list in its official class copy, so treat the weapon as community-reported until character creation opens.

Is the Cleric good for solo play?

Reported as accessible for solo players, with solid area damage alongside the healing — more comfortable to level alone than a pure-support build would suggest.
