Based on currently available public information, the official global trailer for Aion 2 primarily showcases classes, real-time combat, movement, and the game's lore, without mentioning a function to "directly check enemy GS values." Later update information focuses more on the Combat Power panel, personal DPS metrics, Armory character profiles, and leaderboards.

How to determine your opponent's strength?

· Check your own Combat Power display, then compare it to your opponent's performance

Public updates mention that Combat Power is calculated based on a character's base attributes and does not include temporary buffs from potions or skills; this indicates it's more like a "basic combat power reference value," not a value that spikes during combat. Later updates also mention that Combat Power is now displayed in the party window, allowing players to quickly assess their teammates' strength.

· Use Armory to check public information

Questlog's Aion 2 Armory page explains it clearly: it allows you to search player profiles, compare gear setups, and view high-ranking players. When you know an enemy character's name, you can first check publicly available information, then combine that with their gear and ranking to estimate their Gear Score (GS).

· Check Leaderboards

Armory also has a leaderboard, which allows you to view high-ranking players by PvP and PvE content. For many, this is more reliable than "what others say their GS is," because at least there's publicly available data to refer to.

The information available to teammates and enemies is actually different

For teammates, the system usually provides more information, such as the combat power display in the team window, character pages, and gear information. For enemy targets, there's no official explanation in the publicly available information that "clicking on an enemy will display their GS value," so in actual combat, it's more about observation. Seeing how much damage they take, how long they can withstand attacks, and how quickly they chain their skills is often more intuitive than simple numbers. Teammates are better suited for "checking numbers," while enemies are better suited for "observing performance." This is a judgment based on existing publicly available functions, not an officially defined enemy data acquisition mechanism.

Related Questions

Q1: Can I now directly see the enemy's GS? From the publicly available information I found, there was no official description of a function to "directly view the enemy's GS". Existing public information focuses more on individual combat power, the team window, Armory, and leaderboards.

Q2: Are there any alternative methods?

Yes. The most practical method is to first remember the opponent's character name, then check the publicly available information in Armory or leaderboards; if in a team, look at the Combat Power in the team window; if encountered in the wild, judge based on equipment, damage output, and survivability.

Q3: How accurate is the combat power value?

It can be used as a reference, but it doesn't represent the entirety of strength. Public information already mentions that Combat Power is calculated based on base attributes, excluding temporary potions and skill buffs, so it's more like a "base panel score," not a complete combat result.

How should you judge when encountering an enemy?

For example, if you encounter an enemy player in the wild, the first step shouldn't be to immediately focus only on their "GS". First, check his name, then search for him in Armory. If you find him, you'll see his equipment, ranking, and some publicly available information. If you're already in the same team or in a temporary party, directly check his Combat Power panel to see if he's significantly stronger than you. If you can't find any of these, observe him in actual combat: can he quickly reduce your health, can he reliably withstand your skills, and can he unleash a burst of damage in a short time? For many players, this is more useful than a number with no visible source. The existence of Armory itself indicates that 《Aion 2》 currently leans more towards "checking combat power from publicly available information" rather than "reading enemy stats directly in battle."

In 《Aion 2》, to determine an enemy's GS (Gross Grade), you can use a four-step approach: "name search + Armory information + leaderboard + actual combat performance." Official publicly available information emphasizes real-time combat and character growth, while public updates focus on Combat Power, individual DPS, party window, and Armory. Therefore, in actual combat, you should treat it as a "reference for combat power" rather than an "absolute number." If you just want to quickly decide whether to fight, then look at the opponent's equipment, health, burst damage, and positioning; if you want to make a more reliable judgment, then check publicly available information before making a move.
