Go Gunhee Solo leveling Arise stats
Defense is vital here as a Tank unit, with every attack scaling off this stat.

Gunhee is a DPS breaker unit that scales all his attacks off his Defense stats. He has great Break and Critical Hit capabilities and his high Defense makes him tough to beat. To maximize these, you will therefore need to equip and constantly level up all Defense heavy, and Critical Hit buffing items.

Best Go Gunhee skills

Abdominal Crush, Fighting Spirit, Power of Brilliance Light, Clean Sweep, and Supernova.

His skills are simple, but when paired with his Passive Skills they pack a punch.

Abdominal Crush provides a simple but strong Light Damage attack. Despite it having only one extra benefit of dealing Weak Break damage, you can use the Basic Attack to quickly spam and impressively deal 1147% of his Defense.

Meanwhile, his two Basic Skills Fighting Spirit and Power of Brilliant Light, as well as the QTE Skill Clean Sweep, benefit greatly from an array of Passive Skills to buff his attacks further.

Much like Abdominal Crush, his Ultimate Skill Supernova is incredibly simple but deals a whopping 3053% of his Defense at the minimum level as Light Damage, higher than most Ultimate Skills.

For every Arise character, the hunter-exclusive weapon is always the best choice. However, suppose you haven’t yet obtained A Conviction and a Calling.

In that case, you can still use the Steel Bow as a non-exclusive alternative due to its powerful Critical Hit benefits, or the Sturdy Shark Water Gun to give a Defense and QTE skill buff.
