Ranger
Bow specialist that owns the open ground with precision shots and traps.
The Ranger is Aion 2's ranged physical dealer, fighting at distance with a bow. It mixes heavy single-target shots like Deadshot and Snipe with area fire such as Arrow Storm and Tempest Shot, then shapes the battlefield using Explosion Trap, Ensnaring Trap and Snare Shot. Stealth and kiting tools keep it out of melee while it whittles enemies down. It rewards spacing, target priority and well-placed trap setups.
Playstyle
A kiting marksman. Pre-place traps, keep distance from threats, and weave snares between burst shots so nothing ever closes on you. Suits players who like positioning, zone control and punishing mistakes from range.
