11 This page lists every Brawler skill in AION 2: twelve Mastery skills, thirteen Stigma skills and ten passives, taken from the official Korean guidebook's Brawler skill page (updated August 26, 2026) and the Korean service's update notes. NCsoft's guidebook describes the Brawler as a front-line assault class that closes distance quickly, overwhelms enemies with combo strikes, and builds the Rage (분노) resource to enter Rampage (폭주), a state in which its combat ability rises sharply. It fights with the Gauntlets (권갑).

34 NCsoft has not published English names for most Brawler skills. Eight of them carry English names in the global client data (Rampage, Smite Ground, Defiance, Rage, Focused Block, Flash Step, Impact Hit and Revitalization Contract); every other name on this page is a provisional descriptive rendering of the Korean name and will be replaced if NCsoft publishes an official one. Cooldowns and unlock levels are given only where the global client data can be matched to a guidebook skill with confidence.

56 Two different things are called Rage in English: NCsoft's English announcement of July 6, 2026 uses Rage for the resource gauge (분노), while the global client uses Rage as the name of the Stigma skill 격노. On this page the Stigma is always written as the Rage skill.

910 The Brawler is live on the Korean and Taiwanese service, where it arrived with the July 1, 2026 Chapter 1. Lands of Sand and Snow update. As of October 7, 2026 NCsoft has not announced it for the global service: none of the 46 official posts on the global Steam event feed, nor any of the 63 global notice board posts checked that day, mention it, and the global new skin items notice of September 30, 2026 lists weapon skins for eight weapon types without the Gauntlets. See Global Launch and Platforms.

1314 Building Rage: the Combo Strike chain, Shoulder Charge, Burst Fist and the Rage skill restore Rage, and Great Rage restores some on kills. NCsoft's English announcement says basic attacks and active skills generate Rage and that reaching a certain level of the gauge triggers Rampage.Rampage: the guidebook describes Rampage as a skill that enters the state; Rage then drains at intervals and the state ends when Rage reaches zero. During Rampage, Combat Speed and damage boost rise and every skill switches to its Rampage version: charge skills fire instantly, Chain Fist no longer needs a critical hit, Gale Strike dashes through enemies, and the Combo Strike chain stops restoring Rage.Spending Rage: Full Force consumes all remaining Rage, with damage scaling by the share of the gauge spent.Charge skills: Burst Fist and Ascending Strike charge through up to three levels outside Rampage.
