TL;DR
- Training dummies in Aion 2 are called Training Scarecrows — they are not marked on your map.
- Elyos players: Head west of the Dawn Legion Base fast travel point in Verteron.
- Asmodian players: Go northeast of the Safe Haven fast travel point in Altgard.
- There are two types — regular Scarecrows and a Melee Training Scarecrow that hits back.
- Dummies scale to your level and have infinite health, so you can practice as long as you want.
- Additional locations unlock later: Lacephin Village (Eltnen) for Elyos, Kromede’s Island (Morheim) for Asmodians.
You’ve unlocked a bunch of skills and want to test them out before jumping into real content. Makes sense. The problem is nobody tells you where to go.
Aion 2 has dedicated training targets built into the game, but the map never marks them and the game doesn’t point you toward them. A lot of players just skip this entirely and head straight into quests or dungeons — then wonder why their rotation feels awkward.
This guide tells you exactly where to find every Aion 2 training dummy location for both factions, what the two scarecrow types actually do, and how to use them properly. Whether you’re just starting out or prepping a build for harder content, there’s something here for you.
You can play Aion 2 on the official Aion 2 website or grab it on Steam.
What Are Training Dummies in Aion 2?
In Aion 2, training dummies are officially called Training Scarecrows. That’s actually why so many players can’t find them — searching for “training dummy” on the map or in the game world gets you nowhere.
Here’s what makes them useful:
- They have infinite health — they never die, so you can run full rotations without stopping.
- They scale to your level. If you’re Level 10, the dummy is Level 10. At Level 45, it matches that too.
- Multiple players can hit the same dummy at the same time — no waiting around.
- They’re available from around Level 10, right after you clear the tutorial zone.
They’re not just for new players either. Before a big dungeon run or after swapping out Stigmas and gear, jumping on a scarecrow for five minutes is one of the fastest ways to spot rotation problems. More on how Stigmas work here.
Aion 2 Training Dummy Location – All Four Spots
There are four confirmed training areas in the Global client — two for each faction. The early ones are the most useful since you can access them without progressing too deep into the game.
| Faction | Map | Location | Regular Scarecrows | Melee Scarecrows |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elyos | Verteron | Dawn Legion Base | 5 | 2 |
| Asmodian | Altgard | Safe Haven | 5 | 2 |
| Elyos | Eltnen | Lacephin Village | 4 | 2 |
| Asmodian | Morheim | Kromede’s Island | 2 | 1 |
In most cases, you’ll use your faction’s early base the most. The later locations are convenient if you’re already in those regions and don’t want to travel back.
Elyos Training Dummy Location
Dawn Legion Base – Verteron (Best Early Spot)
This is where most Elyos players will spend their practice time. It’s accessible early in the game, and it has both regular and Melee Scarecrows in the same area.

Here’s how to get there:
- Open the Verteron map.
- Use the fast travel to Dawn Legion Base in the Cantas Valley area.
- From the fast travel point, walk west toward the command center.
- Look around the open training area just beside the command structure.
- The scarecrows sit north of the Verteron Monolith — this is where Empyrean Trace Feathers are turned in, so it’s a useful landmark.
You’ll find five regular Training Scarecrows and two Melee versions here. No quest needed to unlock them — just walk up and start hitting.
Lacephin Village – Eltnen (Later Game Option)
If you’re already deep into Eltnen and don’t want to teleport all the way back to Verteron, Lacephin Village has a second training area.
- Open the Eltnen map.
- Travel to Lacephin Village.
- Search the training area near the village center and its travel points.
- Look for enemies labelled Training Scarecrow and Melee Training Scarecrow.
This spot has four regular Scarecrows and two Melee types. It also sits near the Eltnen Monolith and a Kibelisk, so it’s easy to find once you’re in the region.
Asmodian Training Dummy Location
Safe Haven – Altgard (Best Early Spot)
For Asmodian players, Safe Haven is the go-to. It’s available right after the tutorial section and is easy to reach.

How to find it:
- Open the Altgard map.
- Use the fast travel to Safe Haven.
- From the fast travel point, head northeast toward the main command structure.
- Check the area around the stairs and platforms outside the command building.
- Some scarecrows are on elevated platforms, so check both sides of the stairs — not just ground level.
Safe Haven has five regular Training Scarecrows and two Melee versions. The targets here match your level, so they’re still useful whether you’re Level 10 or pushing toward the cap.
If you’re still working out your faction choice, take a look at our Elyos vs Asmodians breakdown.
Kromede’s Island – Morheim (Later Game Option)
Asmodians get a second training spot on Kromede’s Island in Morheim. It’s smaller — only two regular Scarecrows and one Melee — but it’s a good option if you’re already working through that area.
- Open the Morheim map.
- Travel to Kromede’s Island.
- Search the settlement around the Kibelisk and Morheim Monolith.
- Look for Training Scarecrow targets near the central area.
Because there are fewer dummies here, Safe Haven is still the better pick for a focused practice session. But for a quick rotation check mid-progression, Kromede’s Island works fine.
Training Scarecrow vs. Melee Training Scarecrow – What’s the Difference?
Both types look similar, but they serve different purposes. Don’t mix them up.

Regular Training Scarecrow
This one just stands there. It has infinite health, scales to your level, and does nothing back. It’s ideal for:
- Testing damage rotations
- Practising skill order and combos
- Checking cooldown timing
- Running macros before committing to them in real content
- Getting a feel for a new class or build
If you’ve just changed your stat-boosting setup or picked up new gear, this is your testing ground.
Melee Training Scarecrow
This one hits back. It performs AoE attacks once you engage it at close range, and there’s a warning indicator before each attack — giving you a brief window to react.
Use it to practice:
- Dodge timing
- Block and counter skills
- Defensive reactions and shield mechanics
- Abilities that trigger on incoming hits
It’s the only dummy in the game that lets you rehearse your defensive play. If you’re prepping for endgame content or a tough dungeon, run a few minutes on the Melee version first.
How to Actually Get Value From Training Dummies
Just hitting a dummy randomly isn’t really “training.” Here are some habits that make the time worthwhile:
- Always start the same way. Use the same opening skill and rotation so you can compare runs properly.
- Drop temporary buffs first if you want a clean baseline — consumables and event buffs skew the numbers.
- Test sustained rotations separately from short burst windows. Both matter depending on content.
- Watch your resource bar. If MP or other class resources start hitting zero mid-rotation, that’s a real problem to fix before a dungeon.
- Retest after changes. Any time you swap Stigmas, Arcana, gear, or Manastones — come back and verify.
- Use the Melee Scarecrow for tanks and healers, not just DPS classes. Timing utility skills and blocks matters a lot.
This is especially helpful when you’re picking up a new class. Enemies in the open world die too fast for you to run a full rotation — scarecrows don’t. Check out the full list of classes if you’re still deciding what to play.
Also useful before jumping into duty missions or ramping up your gear score — knowing your rotation cold makes progression much smoother.
FAQ – Aion 2 Training Dummy
Where is the training dummy in Aion 2?
Training dummies are called Training Scarecrows. Elyos players find them west of the Dawn Legion Base fast travel point in Verteron. Asmodian players find them northeast of the Safe Haven fast travel point in Altgard. Neither location is marked on the map, so you have to walk to them manually.
Are training dummies available from the start?
They become accessible around Level 10, once you’ve completed the faction’s introductory section and reached your faction’s first main region — Verteron for Elyos, Altgard for Asmodians.
Do the training dummies have a health bar?
Yes, but they have infinite health. The health bar is displayed, but it never actually drops. You can hit a Training Scarecrow indefinitely without it dying.
What level are the training dummies?
They scale to match your character’s level. A Level 10 character sees a Level 10 dummy; a Level 45 character sees a Level 45 dummy. This keeps the target relevant no matter when you visit.
What is the Melee Training Scarecrow?
The Melee Training Scarecrow is a variant that attacks back. It performs AoE attacks with a visible warning before each one. It’s used to practice defensive skills, dodges, blocks, and reactive abilities — things you can’t test on a passive dummy.
Can multiple players use the same training dummy?
Yes. Multiple players can attack the same Training Scarecrow at the same time. There’s no queue or cooldown between players.
Is there a training dummy inside the Legion Hideout?
Some Legion facilities may contain a training target depending on upgrades. Check the interior of your Legion Hideout if you have access — it’s a convenient alternative to travelling to the main training areas.
Should I practice on the training dummy before dungeons?
Yes, especially if you’ve recently changed your build, skills, or gear. A few minutes on a scarecrow confirms your rotation works before you’re in a group. It’s good practice before harder duty missions too.
Are there more training dummy locations later in the game?
Yes. Elyos players get another set at Lacephin Village in Eltnen, and Asmodian players get another at Kromede’s Island in Morheim. These are useful if you’re already progressing through those regions.
Can I check my back attack and front attack damage on a training dummy?
Yes — Training Scarecrows are a good place to verify positional damage. Read more about how that works in our back attack and front attack guide.
