Guard
October 7, 2026 at 12:53 AM
Added an Image column with official item icons to 2 item tables
The 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.
Unique: 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.
Where 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.

The English names marked as global client names exist in the global client's item data (build dated September 18, 2026). 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.
