Tier List | Solo Leveling: Arise | Prydwen Institute (2024)

The tier list rates characters based on their performance across all PVE content - it tries to average how they perform against bosses and in normal stages. Also, please compare characters within their Element. Solo Leveling: Arise gives a massive bonus to damage when you counter the enemy element - you deal a whooping 150% more damage. And the opposite is also true, if you attack enemies who counter your character element, you will only deal 50% damage.

Criteria:

• SSR characters are rated at 0 dupes with their EX weapon obtained,
• SR characters are rated at 3 dupes.

High Investment characters are marked with $ - their power is massively increased when they hit A5 and this allows them to jump to the SS tier together with Cha.

• S+ - characters that are the best of the best - super strong and versatile.
• S - powerful characters that are slightly inferior to the S+ ones, but there are some things holding them back.
• A - strong character that perform well that still have place in the meta, but require a bit more work to shine.
• B - average characters that have big flaws and only work as some niche replacements when you don't have anything else.
• C - below average character that are struggling to find their place in the meta.
• D - underwhelming characters that aren't worth using.

• Our tier list generally evaluates unit performance at A0, with some mentions of power spikes for early dupes. However, some characters are built in a way that their power is massively increased when they hit A5. We'll call these characters high investment characters. As we get more characters, we may rate the same unit in a separate way depending on their investment level, unless the difference is complete night and day,
• [Alicia] - The Ice Witch is already a very powerful water attacker at A0 but she is a character that becomes MUCH stronger when she gets to A5, giving her core attack a massive 50% damage boost on top of a free [Freeze] when the core attack hits. Her weapon buffs both core attack and the water damage buff from Water Armor, buffing both her and her partners.
• [Seo Jiwoo] - While Seo is already a very powerful bruiser and breaker at A0, every dupe increases her overall power in a significant way by granting her extra damage, more break potency, MP regen, HP and finally 32% skill damage/crit rate to her skills and ultimate. Her weapon when maxed will increase her critical damage by 140% when fully stacked.
• Other changes:
• We hade added [Alicia] to the tier list,
• We have raised several characters to the S+ tier as due to the recent buffs their performance has been improved. As a result of the changes and movements, the D tier has been removed and now C tier is the lowest one.

After further testing, we can safely say Cha Hae-In is much better than any character in the game, so we created a tier just for her - just to better display the difference between her and others.

• Cha Hae-In has been added to the tier list with S+ rating. Cha Hae-In is a crit-stacking monster damage dealer. Her damage output is simply insane, beating most - if not all - all other damage dealers in the game. She also can prevent the enemy from healing itself, which is a great utility to possess in some battles.
