Solo Leveling Arise: Best Artifact sets for every hunter character
NetmarbleSolo Leveling: Arise lets players obtain and equip several different Artifact sets for Sung Jinwoo and all other hunter characters to give them unique skill and ability upgrades.
You can get two types of Artifacts: Armor and Jewelry. Just like any popular gacha game, once you have collected and equipped half or the whole of the set, your characters will gain even more benefits.
Since launch, new sets have been introduced including eight-piece sets. If you’re curious about what Artifacts are best suited for each hunter, we’ve got you covered.
Solo Leveling Arise: Best Artifact sets for every hunter
Ultimately, every hunter will best benefit from having different Artifacts and sets equipped. Not every Artifact will work with each hunter either in the game.
For example, while the Toughness (Hard Leather) Armor and Expert (Beast) Jewelry sets are great for boosting Critical Damage, a character like Choi Jong-In who can’t perform those attacks wouldn’t benefit at all from them. So it’s important to keep each hunter’s unique skills in mind when selecting Artifacts.
With that in mind, we’ve put together a breakdown of the best sets for each hunter below:

Toughness (Hard Leather) has remained the most best Armor set choice for quite some time now working with 17 hunters to increase their Critical Hit Damage. Armed (Black Lion) comes in second and is well suited to 16 characters for boasting Attack Damage.
NetmarbleMeanwhile, the Executioner (Behemoth) and Expert (Beast) are the joint most popular Jewelry sets with 11 picks. The Berserker (Skeleton) and Outstanding Connection (Aquamarine) are both great with 9 different characters.
All three of the Burning Artifact sets have proved to be OP and will be worth you getting despite this being a grind.
Burning Greed‘s insane Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Rate, and Break damage buffs have been the most popular choice with 12 picks. Burning Curse was one of the best Artifact sets for 9 characters due to its pure Attack buffs, which are especially suited to Choi Jong-In due to his inability to hit Critical Hits.
Dexerto / NetmarbleSolo Leveling: Arise’s July 31 update shook up the meta even more with 6 brand-new sets. The standout from these are the Crimson Knight (Warmonger), Hot Summer Armor, and the Obsidian Jewelry set.
Finally, Burning Blessing is still a strong choice, but it’s a best Artifact set in Solo Leveling: Arise when it comes to support units.
