Solo Leveling Arise: Dupe priorities for SSR Hunters

Knowing about dupe priorities for SSR Hunters helps Solo Leveling Arise players manage their Essence Stones and Gold properly. Obtaining dupes means getting more copies of the characters one has in their roster. Getting more copies requires summoning them on the banners. After obtaining dupes, players can use them to level each Hunter’s Passive effect.

Hunters can be leveled up from the lowest Advancement Tier 1 to the highest Tier 5. Each tier grants buffs and increments in the effectiveness of certain abilities. However, not all Tiers add value to a Hunters’ kit.

Therefore, this article provides dupe priorities for SSR Hunters, helping one identify what Advancement Tier is the best for them in Solo Leveling Arise.

Seo Jiwoo dupe priorities for free-to-play and pay-to-win players

Free-to-players who have Seo Jiwoo must at least upgrade her to the Advancement Tier 2 to make her more useful. The A2 tier increases her Break effectiveness, which is her kit’s main purpose, and she can be useful in killing most bosses.

Alicia Blanche works excellently even without her dupes. Her skills deal tons of damage and apply the Freeze status effect on enemies.

However, pay-to-win players can upgrade her to the highest Advancement Tier, 5. Every tier strengthens her damage or gives her the ability to apply additional Freeze effects. Alicia will also work best at Tier 1 due to the Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage boost. Free-to-play players can also upgrade her to Tier 1, if possible.
