Aion 2 Cleric Guide: Build, Stigmas and Daevanion

Meta KRHealerPatch: KR · data from 2026-10-01Updated: 2 October 2026

Global launched with Season 1 and a level cap of 45. The numbers on this page come from top Korean players, who are on a later patch with a higher cap. Only skills, wings and Daevanion boards that exist in the global client are shown, so read the percentages as priorities, not as exact targets.

Quick summary

The Cleric is the main healer, using a mace or staff. Every dungeon and raid group needs one, so it gets the best treatment in party matching. Solo play is slow, and in PvP you are the first target.

Strengths

Required in dungeons and raids: parties always want you.
Group heals, resurrection and shields decide whether a run succeeds.
Hard to kill in open-world content.

Weaknesses

Slow solo hunting.
A lot of responsibility: heal rotation and mana management are on you.
First target in PvP.

Gear upgrade order

Complete the max-level dungeon set.
Weapon first. It directly raises your healing.
Survivability next: HP and defense.
Mana recovery options. They matter more the longer the fight.
Finish with bonus stats, Daevanion, Arcana and titles.

Gameplay tips

Heal ahead: a shield or heal placed just before a heavy boss attack is worth more than healing after the damage lands.
Mana: use small heals for chip damage and save the big ones. If you run dry, the group dies.
Downtime: weave in damage when nobody needs healing, but always keep resurrection and your emergency skills ready.

Active skills: what to level first

Every top player uses all 12 active skills, so pick rate says nothing here. What matters is where they spend skill points first: the bar shows how many have pushed each skill to level 20 or higher.

Wings

Only wings available in the global client. Korean wings that are not in global yet are left out, so the columns do not add up to 100%.

Arcana

The global client has two Arcana sets, Magic and Vigor, with one card of each per slot. Every card carries the stat of one Empyrean Lord. The bars show how many top Korean players stack that stat, so the card with the longer bar is the better pick for that slot.

Slot	Card	Main stat	PvE	PvP
Bell	Bell of Magic	Destruction [Zikel] +20	96.1%	75.8%
	Bell of Vigor	Justice [Nezekan] +20	11%	69.5%

	Parchment of Vigor	Life [Yustiel] +20	85.6%	89.9%

In Korea there are more sets and a card can roll different Lord stats, so use this as a guide to which stats matter for the class, not as an exact copy of a Korean build.
