AION 2 Genus Insight Boards: Slots, Levels and Slot 4 Options

AION 2 genus insight boards are the five stat grids that pet EXP and crystals feed. There is one board for each family: Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian and Special. Each board has nine stat slots and runs from level 0 to level 10. This page covers the slot layout of the AION 2 genus insight boards, the slot 4 options reported for each family, and the rolling rules that guides give for working the boards in order.

The board system is part of the global release that NC opened on October 5, 2026, and the release details are in NC's launch announcement. Pets and boards are separate. Pet Insight tracks one pet's levels 1 to 3, and Owned Effects are the permanent bonuses from owning pets. The genus boards are where you roll stats, and they are fed by pet EXP and crystals. The AION 2 Genus Insight hub explains the three layers in more detail.

AION 2 Genus Insight Boards: Layout and Slot Options

Video guides of the global version describe the same five-board structure and the nine-slot grid. Each level unlocks more of those slots, so a board at level 3 shows fewer usable lines than one at level 9.

The exact slot layout is less settled. One set of guides places slots 1, 4 and 7 as defensive, slots 2, 5 and 8 as attack, slots 3 and 9 as special offensive and slot 6 as special defensive. Another guide describes slots 1 and 5 as attack, slots 3, 6 and 9 as accuracy and critical, and slots 2 and 8 as defense. Guides differ on this, so treat both as reported layouts and check the slot names in your own client.

Slot 4 is the line that most guides call the most important on every board. The reported options for slot 4 differ by family, as the table shows.

Positional classes such as Templar, Gladiator and Assassin choose front or back attack damage boost on the Varian and Special boards. Gladiator is listed as front attack, and Rogue and Assassin as back attack, according to the same rule-set guide. Spiritmaster and Sorcerer are advised to target double chance on the Special board.

Rolling Order and Level Thresholds

Heroic lines are the best rolls on a board, and guides place their first appearance at level 9. Many video guides report that level 10 raises the odds again. Guides recorded before the global launch, using Korea or Taiwan footage, report heroic odds of 1 percent before level 10 and 5 percent at level 10. Those numbers come from pre-launch footage, so use them as a starting point and not as a promise.

A common rule set from one global guide runs in three steps. Do not lock anything before level 9 or 10. Build a decent first preset, then a min-max second preset. Roll slot 4 first, because it drives the rest of the board. The three presets share a level but roll separately, so each one needs its own time and its own crystals.

Keep the order in mind when you plan crystals for the AION 2 genus insight boards. The AION 2 genus insight best stats guide covers the priorities for each family, and the stat locking guide in this group explains how lock costs grow.

Special Board and Rainbow Crystals

The Special board works differently from the other four AION 2 genus insight boards. Special pets give no stat effects, and the board itself needs rainbow crystals to fill. Turquoise crystals come only from duties, according to several guides, so a Special board takes longer to fill than a Cogni or Natura board.

Rainbow crystals work on any board, which makes them the flexible option when a specific color runs short. The AION 2 insight crystals guide lists where each color comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many slots and levels does each AION 2 genus insight board have?

Each board has nine stat slots and runs from level 0 to level 10. Video guides of the global version describe this structure, and each level unlocks more of the slots.

Q: Which slot 4 option should I roll on the AION 2 genus insight boards?

Most guides point to PvE damage boost as the best slot 4 choice on Cogni, Natura and Varian. Fera has weapon damage boost as a second option, and Special uses double chance. Roll slot 4 first on every board, then compare the result against your own build.

Q: Why do guides disagree on the AION 2 genus insight board layout?

The sources map slots to different stat types. Two layouts circulate in the global guides, so the safest step is to check the slot names in your own client before you lock anything.

Q: Is an AION 2 genus insight board the same as Pet Insight?

No. A board is one of five stat grids that take pet EXP and crystals. Pet Insight is the level 1 to 3 progress of one pet, and it is tracked separately.
