AION 2 Patch Notes — June 24, 2026
A light maintenance update: Abyss Rift Zone bosses are retuned (adjusted spawns, more HP, and points now count for PvP within 100m of a boss), a 'Combat Power System Improvement' equalizes weapon and passive-skill combat power across classes, and the class-balance patch originally planned for June 24 is postponed to July 1 to protect the ongoing ranking challenge. Also: fromis_9 stage improvements and feather-item restorations. Translated from the official Korean update note.

Abyss Rift Zone

A “Combat Power System Improvement,” aimed at closing the combat-power gap between classes, is applied first in this week's regular maintenance; class balance will then be tuned based on the data it generates. To minimize the impact on the ranking challenge currently underway, the class-balance patch originally planned for June 24 is postponed to July 1.
- Common: the combat-power value contributed by each class's weapon is now equalized across classes.
- Common: the combat-power value gained from passive skills is now equalized across all classes.
