We would like to remind you that tier lists are subjective, and ours is no different. Our experiences with these characters in the game may vastly differ from yours, so take our tier list and others with a grain of salt.
Additionally, this tier list was drafted with the current version of the game, meaning that it is subject to change and may vastly differ once the global version of Solo Leveling: Arise is released on May, 2024.
Note: If we were to include Sung Jinwoo to our tier list, he would belong in the S Tier as he is the default playable character and takes up a different role when compared to the other Hunters.
Weapons Tier List
Solo Leveling: Arise houses a wide variety of different weapons ranging from SSR – R rarity weapons. Furthermore, there are two main categories of weapons, the first being Player Weapons for Sung Jinwoo, and the second being Hunter Weapons, for the obtainable Hunters in the game.
Note that we have divided our Weapons Tier List into the two categories as well, ranking Player Weapons separately from Hunter Weapons based off of our experience playing with these weapons equipped.
It's also worth remembering that just because a weapon is of a lower rarity, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is worse when compared to weapons with a higher rarity. Some weapons from SR actually do better than SSR Weapons.
