How do Daevanion boards work in Aion 2?
- 5 boards on global: Nezekan, Zikel, Vaizel, Triniel, Azphel
- Node costs: 1 (stat) · 2 (passive skill) · 3 (active skill) · 4 (major stat)
- Maxing all four general boards costs 570 crystals; Azphel costs 232 Battle Crystals
- Korea/Taiwan have 3 extra boards: Ariel, Marchutan, Yustiel
The board layout
On the global client, Nezekan, Zikel and Vaizel are 11×11 grids with 88 nodes around the start, Triniel is a larger 13×13 grid with 116, and the PvP board Azphel is 15×15 with 152. Gaps between nodes form corridors, so the route matters. The orange nodes sit in the corners and carry the biggest percentage bonuses — most plans are really about which corners you reach first.
| Colour | What it gives | Cost | On an 11×11 board |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grey | Flat stat (Attack +5, Defense +50, Critical Hit +10, Max HP +100 …) | 1 | 62 |
| Green | +1 level to a passive skill | 2 | 10 |
| Blue | +1 level to an active skill (one per active skill) | 3 | 12 |
| Orange | Major % stat in the corners (e.g. Combat Speed +2.5%) | 4 | 4 |
A full 11×11 board costs 134 crystals, Triniel costs 168, so maxing all four general boards takes 570 Daevanion Crystals. Every class gets the same 22 skill nodes per board (10 passive, 12 active) — but which skill sits where differs by class, which is why each class has its own planner.
What each board specialises in
| Board | Unlock (global) | Orange majors |
|---|---|---|
| Nezekan | Level 12 | Combat Speed ×2, Cooldown Reduction ×2 |
| Zikel | Level 20 | Damage Boost ×2, Damage Tolerance ×2 |
| Vaizel | Level 30 | Critical Damage Boost ×2, Critical Damage Tolerance ×2 |
| Triniel | Level 40 | Multi-Hit Chance ×3, Multi-Hit Resist ×3 |
| Azphel | Level 45 | PvP Damage Boost ×4, PvP Damage Tolerance ×4, plus status chance / resist (Battle Crystals) |
| Ariel · Marchutan · Yustiel | KR/TW only | PvE & boss, weapon damage, Attack/Defense Increase — not on global yet |
How to plan your crystals
- Path to the orange corners that match your role first — for damage dealers that usually means Cooldown Reduction and Combat Speed on Nezekan, Damage Boost on Zikel, Critical Damage Boost on Vaizel and Multi-Hit Chance on Triniel.
- Take the blue and green skill nodes that lie on the way, prioritising the skills in your rotation — extra skill levels unlock skill specialties.
- Spend leftovers on grey stats along the shortest route; there is no reason to fill a board completely before moving to the next one.
- Keep Battle Crystals for Azphel, which only matters once you PvP regularly.
Let the optimizer do it
Switch the planner to Optimizer, rank the stats you care about and press Auto-fill — it finds the route with the best value per crystal for the crystals you own. Mark specific nodes with ★ and press Cheapest path to connect them for the fewest crystals.
Where Daevanion Crystals come from
- Regional quests while levelling
- Sealed Dungeons and Strongholds
- Trade shops such as the Shugo Festival and Nightmare shops
- Battle Crystals for Azphel from the Abyss trade shop
Boards and skill levels can be reset, so experimenting is safe — but resetting costs time and resources in game, which is exactly why planning here first pays off.
Frequently asked questions
How many Daevanion boards are there in Aion 2?＋
Five on the global launch: Nezekan, Zikel, Vaizel, Triniel and the PvP board Azphel. Korean and Taiwanese servers also have Ariel, Marchutan and Yustiel; the planner shows them with a KR tag so you can preview them.
How many crystals does a full board cost?＋
On the global client an 11×11 board (Nezekan, Zikel, Vaizel) costs 134 Daevanion Crystals: 62 grey nodes at 1, 10 green at 2, 12 blue at 3 and 4 orange corners at 4. Triniel costs 168, so all four general boards cost 570. Azphel costs 232 Battle Crystals.
Which Daevanion nodes should I take first?＋
Path to the orange edge nodes for your role first, collect skill nodes for your main rotation on the way, and fill grey stats last. The class build pages list the exact focus for PvE and PvP.
Can I reset my Daevanion board?＋
Yes, boards and skill levels can be reset. Plan here first so you do not waste resetting resources on trial and error.
Do all classes have the same Daevanion board?＋
Every class has the same board names, sizes and node counts, but the skill nodes — and where they sit — are class-specific. The PvP board Azphel and the KR-only boards are the same for everyone.
Why do Korean guides show bigger boards?＋
Korea and Taiwan have expanded the general boards to 15×15 in later updates. The global client still uses the launch layout (11×11, Triniel 13×13), which is what this planner shows.
Why did my Daevanion points disappear? Did I break my character?＋
Points spent on a board are not lost — they are locked into the nodes you activated. Open the board in game to see them, or reset the board to refund them.
