West vs East
NC assigns the forces at server level without using Elyos/Asmodian race identity for this mode.
FIELD GUIDE / PVP ·
AION 2 PvP
Four different modes; four different preparation questions.
01 / MODE SELECTOR
Choose the rule set before the loadout
Race match-up
The March update explicitly retained race-based matchmaking for the Rift.
Capped battlefield
Chapter 1 describes item-level and combat-power caps, with no bosses or Artifacts in the zone.
Three capture zones
Teams start under identical conditions and gain points by controlling a total of three zones.
02 / PVP DECISIONS
What to verify for your next match
Who is an ally?
Chaotic Abyss grouping differs from race-based Rift play. Do not carry an assumed faction map between modes.
What scores?
Battlefield: Siege is a capture-point mode. A boss-oriented PvE plan may not help hold a zone.
What is normalized?
NC says Chaotic Upper Reshanta caps item level and combat power. Check the live values before investing for that map.
The March 2026 update also separated PvP and PvE damage calculations. This makes a PvE-only damage test insufficient to infer PvP performance. There is no source-backed class tier ranking in this guide.
