Aion 2 Chanter: role and playstyle
“A venerable guardian who bolsters allies with divine blessings and steadfast protection”
Chanter is the staff support. NC describes a guardian that bolsters allies with blessings and protection, and community guides call it support with real damage. Its mantra stigmas carry the class: Undefeated Mantra is on almost every top Chanter.

Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Undefeated Mantra gives +10.5% PvE damage boost and tolerance, and it is worn by about 97 to 100% of top Chanters. Client-data
- Nine multi-target attacks and real personal damage. Client-data
Weaknesses
- Sources disagree on how much Chanter heals: Playhub names Recuperation as a heal, KeenGamer calls the class Support DPS. Third-party opinion
- Light of Protection and Undefeated Mantra do not stack. The higher level applies. Client-data
Who should pick Chanter
- You like making a group stronger and being the person friends want in every run.
- You want a support class that is not framed purely as a healer.
- You plan to play mostly in parties.
Who should look elsewhere
- You mostly play solo and want a class whose tagline is about killing things.
- You want a straightforward healing role. The tagline for Cleric is the clearer one for that.
In a four-player party
In a four-player expedition a support class adds value only if someone is there to benefit from it. How much of Chanter’s job is buffing and how much is direct healing is not stated officially, so do not plan a party around either assumption yet.
Compare with other classes
-
Cleric the pure healer, with a tagline about preserving life.
-
Templar the other protective class, but through a shield.
All 8 classes are compared in one table.
