The Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword is a unique greatsword in Aion 2 designed for Asmodian Gladiators. It becomes usable at level 45 and has an item level of 78, which puts it in the mid-to-upper progression range for players who are moving beyond early endgame content.

In general, this weapon is seen as a balanced option rather than a niche or experimental one. Most players look at it as a solid upgrade path if they want reliable damage in PvE while still keeping acceptable performance in PvP situations. It is not a beginner weapon, but it is also not locked behind the hardest content in the game.

Because it is tradable, storable, enchantable, and decomposable, it fits well into the usual gear progression most Gladiators follow.

Who can use the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword?

This weapon is restricted to:

• Race: Asmodians

• Class: Gladiator

• Equip Level: 45

In practice, this means it targets players who have already committed to the Gladiator playstyle and are preparing for more demanding group content. Most players at this stage are already familiar with weapon enchanting, magic stones, and stat optimization, so the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword assumes some experience.

Usually, Gladiators who prefer two-handed weapons and sustained damage will consider this greatsword over faster but weaker alternatives.

How strong are the base stats?

The main stats of the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword are straightforward and consistent with its role.

• Attack: 336 ~ 454

• Accuracy: 100

• Critical Hit: 150

• PvE Damage Boost: 5%

• Block: 150

In general, the attack range is what most players focus on first. It provides enough base damage to feel impactful in PvE without requiring perfect enchant levels. The built-in PvE Damage Boost is especially useful, since most Gladiators at level 45 are still spending a lot of time in dungeons, open-world farming, and group grinding.

Accuracy and Critical Hit values are decent but not excessive. Usually, players will still need to adjust magic stones depending on whether they focus more on PvE mobs or PvP targets.

How important is enchanting and exceeding?

The Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword supports:

• Max Enchant: +15

• Max Exceed: +5

In practice, most players do not rush to maximum enchant immediately. A common approach is to bring it to +10 first, then decide whether further investment is worth it based on how long they plan to use the weapon.

Exceed levels add extra value for players who want to push performance further. In general, exceeding is more attractive to players who plan to keep this weapon for a longer period rather than replacing it quickly.

Because the weapon is enchantable and decomposable, there is less long-term risk compared to fully bound gear.

What do the magic stone and divine stone slots offer?

The weapon comes with:

• 4 Magic Stone Slots

• 1 Divine Stone Engraving Slot

Most players will use the magic stone slots to balance attack, critical hit, and accuracy. In PvE, many Gladiators lean toward attack and critical hit stones, while PvP-focused players usually adjust for accuracy or survivability.

The single divine stone slot is standard for weapons in this tier. In practice, players choose effects that complement their skill rotation rather than relying on random procs.

This setup makes the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword flexible rather than specialized, which is one reason it is popular among players who do not want to switch weapons frequently.

How does Soul Imprint affect the weapon?

Soul Imprint is one of the defining features of this greatsword. When initially imprinted, it grants five additional abilities from a larger pool of possible stats.

Possible Soul Imprint stats include:

• Might

• Precision

• Attack

• Accuracy

• Critical Hit

• HP

• MP

• Combat Speed

• Status Effect Chance

• Multi-hit Chance

• Critical Attack

• Back Attack

• Block

• Weapon Damage Boost

In general, Soul Imprint results vary, and most players aim for a combination that supports their preferred playstyle. PvE-focused Gladiators usually value Combat Speed, Weapon Damage Boost, and Attack-related stats. PvP-oriented players often look for Accuracy, HP, or Status Effect Chance.

Because of the randomness, some players are satisfied with “good enough” rolls rather than chasing perfect combinations, especially if resources are limited.

How does it perform in PvE?

In PvE, the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword performs consistently rather than exceptionally. The 5% PvE Damage Boost helps smooth out damage output, especially during longer fights where sustained DPS matters more than burst.

Most players find that it works well in:

• Group dungeons

• Elite mob farming

• Open-world grinding

The weapon damage boost from Soul Imprint, if rolled, further improves its PvE value. In general, this greatsword rewards steady play and proper skill rotation instead of relying on rare procs or gimmicks.

Is it usable in PvP?

While not designed purely for PvP, the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword is usable in PvP situations. Accuracy, Critical Hit, and optional Soul Imprint stats like Back Attack or Status Effect Chance give it reasonable performance in duels and small-scale encounters.

That said, most players who focus heavily on PvP eventually look for weapons with stronger PvP-specific bonuses. This greatsword is usually seen as a mixed-use option rather than a dedicated PvP weapon.

How do players usually obtain it?

The Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword is obtained through crafting. This means players typically need:

• Access to the correct crafting profession

• Required materials

• Time investment or coordination with other players

In general, crafting makes the weapon more accessible than pure drop-based gear, but it still requires planning. Some players gather materials themselves, while others trade within their network.

It is common to see players checking different sources, including the Aion 2 items shop, to compare availability and costs, but most experienced players still focus on crafting efficiency rather than rushing.

Is the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword worth using?

In general, the Dark Dragon Lord Greatsword is worth using if you are:

• An Asmodian Gladiator around level 45

• Looking for a reliable PvE-focused greatsword

• Interested in flexible stat customization

It is not the strongest weapon in every situation, but it offers a good balance of damage, customization, and accessibility. Most players use it as a stepping stone toward higher-tier weapons rather than a final endgame choice.

If you value consistency and adaptability, this greatsword usually fits well into your progression path.
