Movement

From The Aion Wiki

In Aion, players can move on every axis. The most common way of traveling, however, is by foot. Default key bindings for movement are listed below.

 

Movement Key
Forward Up Arrow or W
Backward Down Arrow or S
Turn Left Left Arrow or A
Turn Right Right Arrow or D
Strafe Left Q
Strafe Right E

Note: Strafing in either direction can also be achieved by holding down the right mouse-button and using the turn keys (A, D, Left and Right Arrows).

Combat Movement Effects

When players move in combat, they are granted both bonuses and weaknesses depending on the type of movement. For example, a player moving forward will gain a 10% damage increase (both melee and spell) for a few seconds, but will lose 20% physical and magical defense. The table below lays out bonuses and weaknesses.
