Solo Leveling: Arise/Best Teams

Solo Leveling: Arise Best Teams

Most Solo Leveling: Arise damage checks are single-element — you bring the element the content is weak to. Sung Jinwoo leads most content with three hunters around him; the hunter-only modes (Challenge Mode, Abyss Hunter Mode) drop him and the three fight on their own. Each team below is that core: a DPS, a stacker, and a support. Guild Boss wants ~6 hunters of the element so you can field two of these. It's a real-time action game, so there's no positioning — the slots are roles, not places.

The strongest all-round team in the game right now. Liu brings top damage with the survivability the other DPS lack, Christopher Reed infuses, and a Fire support rounds it out.

Sung Jinwoo leads; these three hunters slot around him (or fight on their own in the hunter-direct modes). Liu is the damage, Christopher Reed the stacker, and a Fire support finishes it.

  • Put the season boss's counter-element DPS in Sung Jinwoo's support line — hitting the countered element roughly doubles your damage, and an on-element A-tier hunter beats an off-element S-tier one here.

  • Thomas Andre is the alternative main DPS — he's strong but has been falling off since the August update, and Cha is easier to build up as a free-to-play account.
  • Support is flexible: Laura, Min Byung-Gu (universal, always fine) or the reworked overload-support Shimizu Akari.
  • Antoine is the one non-negotiable pick — build him even if the rest of your Light team is thin.

Flex / subs: Thomas Andre (alt DPS) · Min Byung-Gu or Shimizu Akari (support) · Go Gunhee for a support/break option
