Live damage for the whole party
The meter reads each fight as it happens and ranks your party by damage per second. Switch to your own damage when you only want your numbers.
- Each row shows total damage, share of the party and DPS.
- Combat power sits next to each name.
- Class icons and colors tell the party apart at a glance.
Skills, timeline and buffs for every fight
Open a saved fight to see each player's skills, crits and back attacks, damage against the boss's health, buff uptime, damage taken and deaths. Healing observations are also available, with experimental results labeled.

Boss fights from pull to kill
The meter names the boss you are hitting and shows its health. One pull stays one fight, even when the boss calls in adds or changes phase.
- A red dot and a running clock while the fight is on.
- The recorded time stays once the boss stops taking damage.
- An amber dot when the capture missed data, so you know the numbers may be low.
Saved fights, with a private backup
Your last 100 fights stay on your PC. Back up the ones you want to keep to your Guild Manager account, where only you can see them.
- 100 fights on this PC
- Up to 500 private backups
- Favorites are never replaced
- Keep boss fights only, if you like
The buttons in this preview are switched off. They work in the app.

Two shortcuts, one window for the rest
Over the game, one shortcut opens the overlay panel and another shows or hides the meter. The in-game window keeps fight history, backups, meter and timer settings, accessibility and shortcuts in one sidebar.
Event timers and boss alerts
Shugo Festival, Spacetime Rift, world bosses and resets count down on the toolbar. Pick the events you care about and get an alert over the game before they start.
- Alerts 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes ahead, with their own sound.
- Global, Korea and Taiwan schedules.
- Snooze for 1, 3 or 8 hours when you need quiet.
Your Daevanion guide on the game's own board
Follow a build from the Daevanion planner or from someone's Armory page. Open the Daevanion board in Aion 2 and the app draws the path over it: gold rings for the next nodes, numbered in order. Your clicks go straight through to the game.
Linux, on the Nightly channel
The meter runs on Linux with Aion 2 under Proton or Wine. The first time, Settings › Setup asks for your password once to install a small capture helper. Linux is new, so expect rough edges and tell us what breaks.
- An AppImage for x86_64 that updates itself.
- The helper only lets your user account capture network traffic. Nothing touches the game.
- To undo it, delete the two paths the helper adds.

How it works, and what it never does
The meter reads a copy of Aion 2's network traffic through Npcap, the packet capture driver Wireshark also uses. The game itself is left alone.
What it does
- Npcap hands the app a copy of the game's traffic. The game's own connection is untouched.
- Fights stay on your PC unless you back them up or publish them.
- Publishing is your choice, fight by fight or with one setting.
- You can unpublish a fight at any time.
What it won't do
- It won't inject code into the game or change game memory.
- It won't open or change the game's files.
- It won't press keys, send commands, or play for you.
- It won't upload a fight unless you share it.
NCSoft sets the rules for Aion 2, and its terms of service cover every third-party program. We can't speak for NCSoft, so read the current terms before you use any meter.

Aion 2 DPS meter FAQ
Ask in Discord- How do I get the Guild Manager DPS meter?
- Install the Guild Manager desktop app for Windows and start Aion 2. The meter shows over the game on its own, and Ctrl+D hides or shows it. If it stays hidden, check that Track AION 2 damage is on under In-game overlay. It is in the regular release, so you don't need Nightly. The meter is in beta.
- Is the Aion 2 DPS meter free?
- Yes. The meter, the overlay, your fight history and private backups are free. Legion features follow your Guild Manager plan.
- Is using a DPS meter allowed in Aion 2?
- NCSoft sets the rules for Aion 2, and its terms of service cover every third-party program. We're building the meter so it never touches the game client or plays for you, but we can't speak for NCSoft. Read the current terms before you use any meter.
- Which platforms and servers does it support?
- Windows 10 and 11, and Linux on the Nightly build with Aion 2 under Proton or Wine. The meter is tested on the Global servers. The overlay needs borderless or windowed mode.
- Do I need a Guild Manager account?
- Not for the meter. It runs on your PC without an account. Sign in with Discord to back up fights, publish them to the Armory or use your legion's tools.
- How is it different from other Aion 2 DPS meters?
- The meter is part of Guild Manager, where your legion already runs its roster, raids and attendance, so a shared fight sits next to the raid it came from, and a published fight counts for the Armory character it belongs to.
- Does publishing show my party members' names?
- Yes. Publishing makes the captured party names and combat statistics visible on the fight page. The board ranks your own character.
- Where are my fights stored?
- Your last 100 fights stay on your PC. A fight you back up is stored privately in your Guild Manager account, up to 500 of them. Only fights you publish are public.
- Does it only work with the Global client?
- The meter is built and tested on the Global servers, and the Armory DPS boards cover Global characters only for now. Event timers also follow the Korea and Taiwan schedules.
