Tier List Explanation
Grading System
Within the S Tier lie the game's most powerful characters and weaponry. These entities stand as the pinnacle performers, consistently dominating the meta across various relevant game content in Solo Leveling: Arise. |
In the A Tier, you'll find characters and weaponry with impressive strength and stats. While they may not claim the title of the absolute strongest due to minor drawbacks, these selections still excel in performance and prove themselves as strong contenders in the game. |
The B Tier has notable characters and weapons that are quite strong, especially in the early content, but may fall short in the later content of the game and may require a specific setup to catch up. |
The C Tier comprises characters and weapons with some utility but more prominent drawbacks than their peers. You may find them effective early in the game, but their usage is minimal. It's best to avoid investing your resources and opt for a higher tier. |
Within the D Tier, you will encounter the game's least potent characters and weapons, and we highly discourage allocating resources to develop them. Not only do they fall short in overall strength, but no means of leveling and upgrades improve their performance. |
Conclusion
While some may argue that the Tier List is unnecessary, advocating for the enjoyment of any preferred Hunters, it's worth considering taking a glance. It's best to have a powerful Hunter by your side in case you face a challenging wall within the game.
