If you’re playing AION Classic EU and you’ve been relying on the Asmodian faction support buff to keep siege/raid fights from turning into a one-sided stomp, heads up: Gameforge just pushed new changes that are now active.
This isn’t a brand-new event — it’s an ongoing balancing tool — but the latest update changes how long the buff lasts, when the NPC shows up, and even tweaks several raid boss HP values.
What is “Buff for the Asmodians”?
It’s a faction-balance mechanic: an NPC spawns near the Teleport Statue on the Nornir in Tiamaranta Mesa around raid/siege times and grants a temporary buff to Asmodian characters.
Current buff values (as of the latest update)
The NPC now grants:
-
+30% PvP Attack
-
+50% PvP Defense
-
+4,000 HP
(For context: the values have been adjusted multiple times historically, so treat this as “current live values,” not forever values.)
The big change: duration + spawn window got tightened
These are the changes that affect your actual routine on raid nights:
-
Buff duration reduced to 25 minutes
-
NPC spawns 5 minutes before Raid/Siege start
-
NPC despawns at Raid/Siege start
Translation: you can’t show up late and still grab it. If you want the buff, you need to be there before the timer hits go-time.
Extra changes: raid boss HP adjustments
Alongside the faction buff tweaks, the update also adjusts HP on several raid targets:
-
Arch bosses: HP decreased slightly
-
Sunayaka: HP increased
-
Storm Dredgion: HP increased
-
Hexard Arms: HP increased slightly
So yes — this update is doing two things at once: tightening the faction buff window and nudging raid pacing.
Why this matters (even if you’re not “hardcore”)
This isn’t just a numbers tweak. It changes your group’s timing:
-
Your raid lead needs to call “buff pickup” earlier.
-
Late arrivals don’t get a free ride.
-
The 25-minute duration means you’re planning your opening fights around a tighter clock.
