Boosting Yoo Jinho’s defense, HP, and attack is the best strategy for anyone wanting to craft the best build. Here are the recommended Solo Leveling Arise artifacts that meet such a purpose:

Body set

• Noble Sacrifice: Yoo HP increases by 8% with the two-set effect bonus of this artifact. The 4-set effect bonus increases Yoo’s team members’ attack by 8% but decreases his attack by 8%.
• Guardian: Yoo’s Shield effect boosts by 30% with two pieces of Guardian effect. Its 4-set effect increases the damage-dealing ability of those team members who activate a shield by 10% for ten seconds.
• Solid Analysis: Yoo’s damage-dealing ability to enemies under the Break effect increases by 15% with two pieces of Solid Analysis equipped. When Yoo attacks the enemies weak to Light elemental damage, his Break effect increases by 30% with four pieces of Solid Analysis equipped.

Accessories

• Outstanding Connection: The bonus effect of this accessory triggers when Yoo tags out from the battlefield. With two pieces equipped, he and all his teammates' attack increase by 12% for ten seconds (cool down in 20 seconds). Its 4-set effect bonus increases the attack buff percentage to 28% and the duration to 15 seconds.
• Executioner: Yoo inflicts 8% additional damage to monsters with HP less than or equal to 40% with two pieces equipped. With four pieces equipped, the HP condition of monsters changes to 70%, and the damage buff increases to 20%.

The Noble Sacrifice body set and Outstanding Connection accessory, equipped together, make Yoo Jinho a robust support character. Players can equip the Guardian artifact after upgrading him to the Advancement Tier 3. He gets the ability to apply the shields to himself and his team at Tier 3.

On the other hand, Solid Analysis improves his Break effectiveness and allows him to deal more damage to bosses. The artifact is best when one fights against bosses weak to the Light element. Players wanting Yoo Jinho to deal damage more than providing support can use the Executioner accessory set with Solid Analysis.
