Which Faction Should You Pick in AION 2? Elyos or Asmodian
Published 2026-09-293 min read
One AION 2 account can only create characters of one faction per server group — the Elyos-or-Asmodian choice locks in your community and your warfront.
In AION 2 you choose between the game's two factions — and the choice is stickier than in most MMOs: one account can only create characters of one faction per server group. Picking locks in your community and your warfront, so decide before you hit the creator.
What the Choice Locks In
Your faction decides which community you live in and which side of the war you fight — every PvP mode, from arena to Abyss, plays out along that faction line. It also decides who you can and can't group with on your server group.
Then Comes Class
After the faction gate: all eight classic classes return, each with a distinct feel. It's the single most consequential choice you'll make this week — read the class selection guide before committing.
