The Ultimate Tier List for Solo Leveling Arise: Top Hunter Rankings

Solo Leveling: Arise, like other gacha games, tends to associate the rarity of hunters with their power. Keep in mind that a Tier List remains subjective and that opinions may differ depending on the affinities and experience one has with the characters. This Tier List, like many others, will evolve over time, when new Hunters or new balancing updates are deployed in game.

However, if you are looking for the best characters to obtain in Solo Leveling Arise, find below the individual ranking of Hunters according to the elemental type they have.

Tier List of Fire-type Hunters

• S | Emma Laurent, Choi Jong-In
• A | —
• B | Song Chiyul
• C | —

Explanations of the Fire type tier list

Choi Jong-In is really powerful and presents itself as an exceptional DPS. Its statistics are excellent and its ultimate ability will be of great use to you in closing the different portals or boss rooms in which you will engage: it allows you to reset both skills after each use.

Emma Laurent is of the same caliber as Choi Jong-In: a Top Tier character in the Fire category. She deals much less damage than Jong-In, but has skills capable of breaking opponents' resistance. You will understand it later, but this ability to be able to “break” enemies is really interesting in Solo Leveling Arise.

Song Chiyul, unlike Choi Jong-In and Emma Laurent, is the weak link among Fire-type hunters. Although it is good for eliminating monsters, it will be very ineffective for bosses. However, it remains a good alternative for players who were unable to get their hands on Emma Laurent or Choi Jong-In. Little advice, rely on your area skill to gain survivability.

Tier List of Water-type Hunters

• S | Seo Jiwoo
• A | Nam Chae Young
• B | Anna Ruiz
• C | Lee Juhee, Han Sang-Yi

Explanations of the Water type tier list

Seo Jiwoo is not an outstanding hunter when it comes to DPS, but is a great support thanks to her two skills which can be used very regularly and break opponents' shields. She nonetheless remains a Top Tier character in the Water category, so even if you don't have Emma Laurent or Choi Jong-In, you can count yourself lucky if you come across Seo Jiwoo.

Nam Chae Young, like Seo Jiwoo, can break opponents' guards. Its rarity level has no influence on its combat power: it can freeze opponents to allow you to weaken monsters and bosses without risking a devastating attack.

Anna Ruiz is the perfect example of the debuffer. She will be able to break opponents' guards, inflict poison damage, as well as certain debuffs. However, she remains in rank B, because the damage and her support role are not sufficient to make her an essential character in combat, at least without a duplicate.

Lee Juhee And Han Sang-Yi are really not the best Huntresses you can get in Solo Leveling Arise. Although Juhee is useful in the early game, she remains a very dispensable support character, like Sang-Yi.

Tier List of Wind-type Hunters

• S | —
• A | Park Heejin, Hwang Dongsoo
• B | Woo Junchul
• C | Kim Sangshik, Park Beom-Shik

Explanations of the Wind type tier list

Park Heejin is an ideal Support character to remove all penalties and improve damage. She helps the entire team, which makes her an excellent Vent character. But we should not count on her for the damage as this is not her area of ​​expertise.

Hwang Dongsoo, unlike Park Heejin, is what we could call raw DPS. It is capable of breaking shields, stunning or knocking down opponents, and deals very satisfying damage to monsters and bosses. The icing on the cake is that it will not be necessary to equip him with defense artifacts: in fact, he has the ability to increase his defense, which makes him a very solid character for all in-game activities.

Woo Junchul is a character who benefits from great mobility and great defense. However, he will not be the best DPS of all SSR Hunters. It's mostly there for survivability, but not much else.

Kim Sangshik And Park Beom-Shik do not deserve the best sets in the game. Their skills are weak and their statistics need to be reviewed. You might as well do without them, it's better!

Tier List of Light-type Hunters

• S | Baek Yoonho, Min Byeong-Gu
• A | —
• B | Yoo Jinho, Kim Chul
• C | Jo Kyuhwan

Explanations of the Light type tier list

Min Byeong-Gu is the best support character you can have. He will be able to heal and strengthen his team, while applying penalties to opponents. There's not much more to say, other than he's a Top Tier character by far.

Baek Yoonho is the most durable character in all of Solo Leveling. His entire set is based on his defense and the action of breaking and reducing that of his opponents. By optimizing it correctly, it will be able to deal good damage and can very easily survive without a support character… But to properly take advantage of this character, you will have to take some time to optimize it.

Yoo Jinho is a character that can be obtained for free. He's a jack of all trades, but doesn't stand out in any area of ​​expertise. He will be useful when you need a Light type character for a boss.

Kim Chul is a good tank character who will be able to strengthen the defense of allies, while being able to stun opponents. He is very useful if you don't have any other Light-type characters.

Jo Kyuhwan, like C-rank characters, doesn't have much going for him: he doesn't inflict good damage, doesn't have great survivability and his attacks have a fairly catastrophic range. It's best to leave it in the Codex, as it will be a burden on your team.

Tier List of Dark-type Hunters

• S | Lim Tae-gyu, Lee Bora
• A | Kang Taeshik
• B | Hwang Dongsuk
• C | —

Explanations of the Darkness tier list

Lim Tae-Gyu has the ultimate that deals the most damage. Although he can be useful in cleaning rooms, Tae-Gyu finds his usefulness on the single target, namely the bosses. His damage increases with the attack, which makes him an excellent DPS. For boss fights, Lim Tae-Gyu is undoubtedly Top Tier.

Lee Bora is an excellent DPS character. Thanks to her summons, she will be able to inflict more damage on opponents. Note that the more duplicates you obtain for Lee Bora, the more Megumi will be available in his skill, so the damage will increase drastically with each evolution. It has a place of choice in Dark-type teams, because the latter improves the damage of the same type. She is not Top Tier, but deserves her place in S rank.

Kang Taeshik is a very good SR character. He finds his area of ​​expertise in bleeding and damage. If you have him on your team, don't hesitate to use him while waiting for Lee Bora.

Hwang Dongsuk is not a catastrophic Hunter, but does not present himself as being the most powerful. It deals good damage, can occasionally break the shield and stun opponents, but does not find any real expertise. Don't be unhappy having him on your team either, as he is much better than a majority of the SRs in the game.

Our tier list will be regularly updated, especially when new banners or balancing updates are deployed on Solo Leveling Arise!
