In Solo Leveling: Arise, you play the protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, and progress through the main story as he becomes more robust. You bring other Hunters to support Sung Jinwoo but only control the protagonist during fights.

In some game modes like Encore Missions and Gates, you assemble a squad of non-player Hunters and engage in combat. You can equip them with weapons and artifacts that boost their base stats and provide various buffs and debuffs.

Hunters are categorized into different classes: Mage, Tanker, Fighter, Assassin, Ranger, and Healer, which define their play style, with each character having unique skills and abilities.

The Hunters come in varying rarity, from the lowest R (Rare) to the highest Super Super Rare (SSR). This article lists all non-player Hunters according to their utility in various tiers: SS, S, A, B, C, and D. Like other gacha games' tier lists, the SS tier includes robust units worth investment. On the contrary, B-tier Hunters are relatively weaker, and it’s best to avoid investing your resources in them.

This Solo Leveling: Arise tier list will help you identify the best Hunters to invest in for a strong start and quick content clearance.

Keeping that in mind, below is the Solo Leveling: Arise tier list for January 2025.
