Solo Leveling Arise tier list: Best weapons ranked for Sung Jinwoo and every hunter

Here’s the ultimate Solo Leveling: Arise weapons tier list, which ranks all of the game’s weapons from best to worst for Sung Jinwoo and every hunter character.

There are two types of weapons you can get in Solo Leveling: Arise. Player Weapons, which are exclusive to Sung Jinwoo, and Hunter Weapons which can be only used by hunter characters in your team.

However, every hunter also has their own exclusive Hunter Weapon that grants them unique skills and benefits when equipped. You are only able to get these hunter-exclusive weapons for SSR hunters, all the SR hunters’ weapons are available to view via their Dossier but have not yet been released.

Two new weapons were added as part of Arise’s September 12 update, bringing the total number of weapons available in Arise to 82.

Solo Leveling: Arise best weapons tier list for Sung Jinwoo

Typically SSR has proven to be the best weapon to select, but some outliers have incredible strength and a whole heap of unique skills, abilities, and effects. Sung Jinwoo also has two different weapon slots, which means you can equip two different Hunter Weapons at the same time, as shown above.

S-tier weapons for Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling: Arise

The Phoenix Soul is by far the best weapon Sung Jinwoo can use in Solo Leveling: Arise. Despite it added to the game on July 10, it has easily proved it self to be stronger than everything else.

However, all of the six S-tier weapons will are remarkably strong in comparison to rest of Jinwoo’s weaponary options and will help you clear Gates and demolish bosses with ease.

Despite five out of six being SSR rarity weapons, the West Wind is a uniquey powerful SR weapon. If leveled up and advanced, it has proved it can hang with the top weapons due to its insane Wind Damage capabilities.

Weapon	Skills & abilities
Phoenix Soul	Phoenix Soul has come straight in as the best weapon you can get for Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling: Arise. This bow is so strong due to the immense amount of damage it is able to deal. However, its only downside is it has a remarkably long cooldown when performing skills. Phoenix Soul’s best skill is the Phoenix Rapid Fire skill. This deals 1504% of Jinwoo’s Attack and when maxed out can inflict 2301% of Attack. When the Firebird Soul effect is activated, it increases the Jinwoo’s Core Attack by 70% and can be stacked up to 3 times
West Wind	West Wind is a damage-dealing machine that can inflict massive amounts of Wind Damage with its sniper rifle and accompanying dual pistols. Despite being the only SR weapon ranked as S-tier, it’s the second best weapon Sung Jinwoo can use in the game. Its most powerful skill is its Secret Bullet attack. If the shot successfully hits an enemy and there are no other enemies within a 5m radius, then Sung Jinwoo’s damage is increased by 75%.
Demonic Plum Flower Sword	High Dark Damage and Critical Hit Damage dealer. Swift Flight skill deals insane damage and activates the Plum Flower effect which increases Critical Hit Damage by 12% and can be stacked up to 3 times. Full Bloom effect increases the speed of Swift Flight by 20% and the attack & Critical Hit Rate both increase by 4% for 8 seconds.
Shadow Scythe	Deals massive amounts of Dark damage and its Essence Harvest effect decreases Health by 5% and then doubles its skill damage.
Thetis’ Grimoire	Deals significant Water damage and when its Water Spray hits enemies it activates a Cold Ice effect, which slows them down. After Cold Ice has ended, it deals damage equal to 10% of damage taken during its 4-second duration.
Moonshadow	The Demon King’s Longsword is a strong Wind Damage dealer that gives Jinwoo a wealth of useful effects including a Shield, Stun, Counterattack, and Storm of White Flames. When the Lightning skill is performed, it applies a Shield for protection and attacks with a Counterattack. If the counter hits, the enemy is also stunned and the Storm of White Flames effect activates. The Shield is equal to 20% of Jinwoo’s max Health and lasts for 3 seconds. The Stun also has a 3-second duration, but immobilizes the target. Storm of White Flames increases his Attack by 8% and fires lightning at enemies nearby dealing damage equal to 100% of Jinwoo’s Attack every second, for a total of 10 seconds.

A-tier weapons for Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling: Arise

There are eight A-tier ranked weapons for Sung Jinwoo, with Skadi being the strongest A-tier weapon for Jinwoo, with the Secured Marlin Surfboard and the Huntsman shotgun falling close behind as second and third best.

Weapon	Skills & abilities
Skadi	Skadi is a Water Damage weapon that gives Sung Jinwoo many skills to Freeze enemies and activate the effects of Skadi’s Blessing, Skadi’s Curse, and Last Hunt.

Secured Marlin Surfboard	The Secured Marline Surfboard weapon added as part of the game’s Summer Vacation event is impressive, but not enough to be considered S-tier. Its Water Damage attacks deal a fair amount of damage to opponents, which greatly benefit from the weapon’s unique abilities. When multiple sequences of attacks are used together, the user can gain significant damage buffs. In particular, when Marlin’s Dream or Flying Marlin hits an enemy, they gain the Surfer’s Path effect. This increases damage to Normal Monsters by 1% with an infinite duration and it can be stacked up to 999 times to spam damage.
The Huntsman	The Huntsman is a serious Light Damage dealer with some impressive abilities and only just narrowly missing out on the S-tier rank.

His damage rises by a further 50% when a Basic Attack, Core Attack, or Time to Hunt hits targets within 4 meters while using The Huntsman.
Demon King’s Longsword	The Demon King’s Longsword is a strong Wind Damage dealer that gives Jinwoo a wealth of useful effects including a Shield, Stun, Counterattack and Storm of White Flames. When the Lightning skill is performed, it applies a Shield for protection and attacks with a Counterattack. If the counter hits, the enemy is also stunned and the Storm of White Flames effect activates. The Shield is equal to 20% of Jinwoo’s max Health and lasts for 3 seconds. The Stun also has a 3-second duration, but immobilizes the target. Storm of White Flames increases his Attack by 8% and fires lightning at enemies nearby dealing damage equal to 100% of Jinwoo’s Attack every second, for a total of 10 seconds.
Demon Knight’s Spear	If the Holy Spear skill is performed, it applies the Corrupted Spirit effect which removes the cooldown of Holy Spear for 3 seconds to let you continuously throw the spear.

Solo Leveling: Arise best weapons tier list for hunter characters

There are 44 Hunter Weapons that can be used by every hunter character in Solo Leveling: Arise apart from Sung Jinwoo. These also all have different rarities, with the rarest being Super Super Rare(SSR), the medium rarity of Super Rare(SR), and the common being Rare(R).

For each hunter though, their best weapons will always be their exclusive weapons. But, with only the 26 existing SSR characters having access to their exclusive weapons in Arise so far, and these being hard to come by, it is hard to know which ones to choose.

Solo Leveling: Arise’s Summer Vacation event has shaken up the meta in a big way after the game’s developers released the first SSR non-exclusive Hunter weapons. These are the Durable Shark Water Gun, Sturdy Shark Water Gun, and Spiky Shark Water Gun.

Despite them all giving hunters the same ability benefits, the Spiky Shark variation is by far the best of the three Water Guns due to its high Attack stats making it deal the most Damage.

We have therefore ranked every Hunter Weapon from S-tier for the best, down to the worst weapons ranked as D-tier to help you decide.
