The best weapons for Sung Jinwoo are the Demonic Plum Flower Sword, Thetis' Grimoire, Shadow Scythe, and The Huntsman—all of which are SSR.
However, you may also consider using SR Weapons like the Orb of Avarice, West Wind, Kasaka's Demon Fang, and the Radiru Family's Longbow considering they're easier to Advance and are fantastic alternatives to SSR weapons.
Best Weapons for Sung Jinwoo (SSR)
As most of you can probably guess, Sung Jinwoo's best weapon will almost always be an SSR Weapon no matter what type of battle you're looking to clear. This is because compared to R and SR Weapons, SSR Weapons just give way better Weapon Effects and stat bonuses.
There is, of course, the issue of not being able to get enough of their duplicates for Advancements, which is where SSR Weapons come in as great substitutes.
Listed below are all the best Weapons for Sung Jinwoo that have an SSR rarity.
TIP: You can set up to five Weapons or Hunters on your Selection Draw Banner. Make sure you set at least three Weapons that are listed below to increase your chances of getting them and their duplicates every time you spend Custom Draw Tickets!

Thetis' Grimoire is one of the best Player Weapons in the game mainly because its [Cold Ice] ability affects even bosses—functioning almost like a mini-Break and neutralizing them completely for up to 4 seconds.
It also has great AoE DPS potential as well since Water Spray covers a wide area and can be used to clear multiple mobs in front of Sung Jinwoo at once.

When it comes to dealing tons of damage, Shadow Scythe is among the best weapons that you can equip Sung Jinwoo with.

The Huntsman
 The Huntsman |
| Weapon Effects When the user uses Judgment Time, activates their Core Attack. When the user uses Judgment Time, their Core Attack is changed to Time to Hunt for 6 seconds and increases damage by 60%.

The Huntsman is the best weapon in the game that has the Light element and is another fantastic addition to Sung Jinwoo's arsenal, as it boosts his DPS potential significantly via Break and damage enhancements.
It doesn't improve Sung Jinwoo's crits unlike the Demon Plum Flower Sword or the Shadow Scythe. Instead, it enhances his raw damage and improves the rate at which you can Break an enemy, making it the best weapon to use against most bosses.

Orb of Avarice

West Wind is by far one of the best weapons in Solo Leveling: Arise when it comes to purely single-target damage.
If a Wind-element weapon is what you need, then West Wind should do the job well especially once it reaches 3★ Advancement and onwards.
Kasaka's Demon Fang
 Kasaka's Venom Fang |

Kasaka's Demon Fang is the best weapon to use as an alternative if you don't have Thetis' Grimoire, which is the best Water-element weapon in the game.
It deals fantastic DoT damage via [Bleed], which makes it super effective against tough mobs and even bosses that aren't immune to status effects.
Radiru Family's Longbow
 Radiru Family's Longbow |
| Weapon Effects Every time the arrow of Flash of Light penetrates a target, increases the user's damage by 4% (stacks up to 20 times). |
