Added the Guard's active skill effects and its global breakthrough stage caps by item level
11The Guard (가더) is the off-hand item of AION 2. Unlike main weapons it has no class restriction in the official item database, so every class equips one, and Guards come as a pair with weapons through most of the game: Sanctuary rewards, Draconic crafting recipes and the Abyss shop all offer a weapon and a Guard of the same family. A Guard adds Attack, Accuracy and Critical Hit rather than a weapon damage range, rolls its own Soul Inscription options and has the same manastone and Theostone slots as a weapon of its grade. Stats and item levels below come from the Korean service's official item database, checked on October 7, 2026.2233Grades, Sockets and Caps4455Unique: enhances to +15, then five breakthrough stages; four manastone slots and one Theostone slot.Hero: enhances to +20, then five breakthrough stages; five manastone slots and one Theostone slot.Enhancement costs and odds are the same for every weapon type of a grade and item level; see Enhancement and Breakthrough.Transfer of enhancement and Soul Inscription works between Guards, since succession needs the same slot.6677Hero-Grade Guards8899Where two names appear, the first is the Elyos version and the second the Asmodian version; the two share stats. The global client has an English name only for the Ludra pieces; NCsoft's English announcements have used Genesis and Nemesis Dragon Lord, Lava Heart and Archon Praetorian Captain. Every other English name in this table is a provisional plain rendering, given with the Korean name.10101111ImageItemBase item levelBase statsHow to get itLudra's Heart (루드라의 심장)98Accuracy 50, Attack 124, Critical Hit 50Abyssal Forge: Ludra Sanctuary rewards; Gear Change Voucher: Ludra conversionsEungryong Dragon Lord Guard (응룡왕의 가더); Giryong Dragon Lord Guard (기룡왕의 가더)108Accuracy 50, Attack 136, Critical Hit 50, PvE Damage Boost 5%Draconic crafting; since July 1, 2026 also Transfer Crafting from Splendent Hyeonryong or Jeokryong gearGuardian Legion Commander Guard (가디언 군단장의 가더); Archon Legion Commander Guard (아칸 군단장의 가더)108PvP Damage Boost 10%, Accuracy 50, Attack 136, Critical Hit 50Abyss shop, or Transfer Crafting from Tribunus gear (July 1, 2026)Splendent Eungryong Dragon Lord Guard (빛나는 응룡왕의 가더); Splendent Giryong Dragon Lord Guard (빛나는 기룡왕의 가더)114Attack 144, Accuracy 50, Critical Hit 50, PvE Damage Boost 5%Transfer Crafting from Eungryong or Giryong gear (May 13, 2026)Corroded Ruler Guard (침식된 지배자의 사슬)108Accuracy 50, Attack 136, Critical Hit 50Corroded Decontamination Facility Sanctuary; Transfer Crafting from the Ludra piece with vouchers (May 27, 2026)Genesis Dragon Lord Guard (창룡왕의 가더); Nemesis Dragon Lord Guard (멸룡왕의 가더)128Accuracy 50, Attack 161, Critical Hit 50, PvE Damage Boost 5%Transfer Crafting only, from Splendent Eungryong or Giryong gear (May 27, 2026); materials from converting Lava Heart gearLava Heart Barrier (용암 심장의 결계)128Accuracy 50, Attack 161, Critical Hit 50Chalice of Muspel SanctuaryGuardian Praetorian Captain Guard (가디언 친위대장의 가더); Archon Praetorian Captain Guard (아칸 친위대장의 가더)128PvP Damage Boost 10%, Accuracy 50, Attack 161, Critical Hit 50Abyss shop, Arena and Battlefield exchange shops (May 27 and June 10, 2026), or Transfer Crafting up the Abyss ladderSplendent Genesis Dragon Lord Guard (빛나는 창룡왕의 가더); Splendent Nemesis Dragon Lord Guard (빛나는 멸룡왕의 가더)134Accuracy 50, Attack 169, Critical Hit 50, PvE Damage Boost 5%Transfer Crafting from Genesis or Nemesis Dragon Lord gear (May 27, 2026)[진] Genesis Dragon Lord Guard ([진] 창룡왕의 가더); [진] Nemesis Dragon Lord Guard ([진] 멸룡왕의 가더)148Critical Hit 100, PvE Damage Boost 7.5%, Attack 204, Accuracy 100Draconic crafting or Transfer Crafting from the Splendent Genesis or Nemesis piece (September 9, 2026)Liberated White Night Guard (해방된 백야의 맹세)148Critical Hit 100, Attack 204, Accuracy 100Added with the September 9, 2026 update; converts into materials for the [진] Genesis and Nemesis tier[진] Guardian Praetorian Captain Guard ([진] 가디언 친위대장의 가더); [진] Archon Praetorian Captain Guard ([진] 아칸 친위대장의 가더)148Critical Hit 100, Attack 204, Accuracy 100, PvP Damage Boost 15%Abyss exchange shop, or Transfer Crafting from Praetorian Captain gear (September 16, 2026)[진] Splendent Genesis Dragon Lord Guard ([진] 빛나는 창룡왕의 가더); [진] Splendent Nemesis Dragon Lord Guard ([진] 빛나는 멸룡왕의 가더)154Critical Hit 100, PvE Damage Boost 7.5%, Accuracy 100, Attack 219Not stated in the patch notes (listed in the official item database)1212Unique Guards13131414The main Unique lines are the Draconic crafted ones (True and Star Dragon Lord, White and Dark Dragon Lord, Wise and Ebony Dragon Lord, then the Korean-only Cheonryong, Maryong, Hyeonryong and Jeokryong lines and their Splendent versions), the Abyss shop ranks Decanus, Centurion and Tribunus, and named dungeon and boss drops.

That data holds the Unique Draconic lines up to the Splendent Wise and Ebony Dragon Lord pieces and the Ludra Hero pieces, but none of the later Korean lines, so the global service starts lower on this ladder. As of October 7, 2026, NCsoft had not published a global equipment schedule.252526+In the global client data a Guard's skill effects come from the class's active skills, the same pool as the main weapon. Global Guards also follow the global item levels and stage caps of the weapons: the True Dragon Lord Guard (item level 62) and the Bakarma Guard (54) have one breakthrough stage, the Vakron Guard (70) has three, and the Nuakum Guard (86) and Ludra's Heart (102) have five; see Weapons for the full global ladder.27+2628Related Pages27292830Weapons · Item Grades · Enhancement and Breakthrough · Soul Inscription and Soul Binding · Abyss Equipment · Succession Crafting
