Solo Leveling: Arise – 9 Best Hunters (2024)

Solo Leveling: Arise features a wide range of hunters that act as support for Sung Jinwoo. While Jinwoo is the protagonist, you can play as these hunters in other modes of the game. All of these hunters offer a special assisting skill that Jinwoo can use in battles against sturdy enemies. Every hunter has distinct traits and abilities that can help you against major bosses.

As soon as you start using the Essence Stones to summon the hunters, you should aim to collect the best ones in the game in order to win. While most of the hunters are obtained randomly, by mid-game, you can have a decent range of SR and SSR hunters to add to your party.

9 Hwang Dong Soo

The Brawly Puncher

Hwang Dong Soo is a fighter-type hunter who uses wind-based attacks. He is a great hunter to use if you opt for a more offensive and close-combat play style. The hunter is capable of stunning and knocking down enemies and can also shield you from incoming attacks.

Hwang also has the ability to pierce through the shield of any boss, allowing your attacks to go through, which makes him a good support hunter. You can also use him when clearing gates, as his ultimate skill, Merciless, can deal around 3,732 percent damage of your defense rate and quickly knock the enemies down.

8 Lim Tae Gyu

Most Capable Ranged Damage Dealer

Lim Tae Gyu is capable of dealing high-damage attacks despite being slow. His skills work best against fewer enemies and main bosses. Furthermore, if you use him the right way, you can break the opponent's lineup in battle, giving you a massive advantage.

His ultimate skill, Typhoon Fire, can deal around 1,003 percent damage of your attack rate. Even his basic attacks, like Volley Fire and Dark Shot, can deal a lot of damage to single enemies. Make sure to use his special weapon Intercept if you manage to pull it to increase his damage even more.

7 Baek Yoonho

Unstoppable Damage Dealing Beast

Baek Yoonho, or the Silver Mane, is one of the best tanks that you can use in Solo Leveling Arise. He is capable of dealing enough damage to devastate advanced enemies. Since his attack rate is already pretty high, you should focus on increasing his defense by using the relevant artifacts. For that, you can use either the Berserker or the Connection Of Firepower.

With his immense power, you can break enemies just by using basic attacks. Choi Jong In and Min Byung Gyu are recommended to use alongside Silver Mane. As a support, he can decrease the defense of your targeted enemy while dealing damage of around 400 percent of your defense.

6 Emma Laurent

Best Tank And An Epic Fighter

Despite being a tank, she is capable of dealing an immense amount of damage, making her a good all-rounder to use in your party. Even her basic skills can break enemies, and her passives provide the user with a powerful shield. She is also capable of increasing the damage output of allies. However, it is important to pair her up with hunters like Min Byung Gyu, Baek Yoonho, and Seo Jiwoo, who can further boost her abilities.

Emma Laurent can also be used as a support as her Burn-Up skill can deal around 555 percent damage to her Max HP. To increase her damage even further, make sure to use the Night Thoughts Hunter exclusive weapon.

5 Alicia Blanche

The Powerful Ice Witch

Alicia Blanche is a powerful SSR hunter capable of freezing her enemies. The mage uses water elemental attacks, and even her basic skills are enough to help you win against major bosses. Her Frost Arrow skill can shoot deadly ice spikes at enemies, dealing around 1,500 percent damage of Alicia’s attack rate.

Furthermore, you can also use her Winter Storm skill, which can not only attack enemies and deal high water damage but also have a 30 percent chance of freezing them. Alicia Blanche’s best ultimate skill is Absolute Zero, which can deal 4,650 percent damage of her attack rate and also freeze her enemies. Make sure you use weapons like the Witch of the Snowstorm or the steel bow to increase the critical hit rate.

4 Choi Jong In

Must-Have Fire Elemental Hunter

Choi Jong In is, without a doubt, one of the strongest fire-based damage dealers in Solo Leveling Arise. As a hunter, he can lower the defense of his enemies, making them vulnerable to attacks. With his skills, you can easily defeat end-game bosses and clear tough Gates. Even though he cannot deal any critical damage, his skills burn enemies and decrease their defense making him a good party member to use.

His End-Of-Day ultimate skill can deal 3,555 percent damage to his attack. Emma Laurent, Seo Jiwoo, and Min Byung Gyu are good party members to use with Choi Jong In. Make sure to use the One-Hit Kill set artifact to Improve his ultimate skill damage and cool down and his exclusive weapon Equivalent Exchange to get additional power.

3 Seo Jiwoo

Powerful Shield Breaker

This powerful SSR hunter is best for breaking enemies and acting as a tank against incoming damage. As a support, she is capable of applying the shield effect on her allies, which can last for around 25 seconds. She also deals damage of around 863 percent of your Max HP. Using Seo Jiwoo’s ultimate skill, you can send enemies airborne and also deal damage of around 2,226 percent of her Max HP.

Her ability to break Shields and apply Break makes her one of the best hunters to use in the game. Because of her high HP, she can sustain easily in battles without any healers. Use her hunter-exclusive weapon Unparalleled Bravery To increase power, critical hit rate, and precision. Add Choi Jong In to the party with her to deal double the damage to enemies and bosses.

2 Min Byung Gyu

Best Healer For Your Team

One of the best healers by far in Solo Leveling Arises and is also capable of dealing high amounts of damage. In the end game, it is important to always have a healer unit like Min Byung Gyu in your party to survive against enemies. Besides story mode, you need his skills in clearing the Gates and also in modes like Battlefield of Time.

Use the Holy Set artifact to increase your HP and your allies' attack rate. He synergizes greatly with DPS units like Choi Jong In and Seo Jiwoo. Make sure to obtain his signature weapon, Eternal Slumber, which can increase the damage output of your team members by four percent.

1 Cha Hae In

The Strongest SSR Hunter

Cha Hae In is easily considered one of the best characters in Solo Leveling Arise against end-game bosses. If used correctly, she can deal higher critical damage and easily defeat some of the toughest monsters in the game. You should definitely try rerolling for her if her banner is available because having her on your team is a guaranteed victory.

Her skills can apply unrecoverable effects that can stop your enemies from recovering HP, making them very prone to attacks.
