Solo Leveling: Arise is an upcoming action role-playing game (ARPG) that is set to be released globally on 8th May 2024. The game can be played, however, if you’re using an Android device and live in Canada via an open regional beta launch. Not all players will have access to the best Hunters and weapons, making team-building quite the chore. Please do not fret, as we have also included some helpful tips for budding adventurers in their team-building journey. In this guide, we will be presenting some pragmatic approaches to team-building.

Roles and their Importance in Team-Building

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to classify all Hunters in different roles broadly. Thankfully, the game does it themselves and assigns a class to all Hunters at the release. These classes are – Tanker, Fighter, Mage, Assassin, Ranger, and Healer. Each of these classes presents a unique characteristic, and their pros/cons need to be understood before constructing a team. Let’s check out all the roles and their importance in any team:

DPS Hunters – A dependable Damage Dealer must be at the forefront in order to handle damage successfully. This role’s characters are skilled at dealing significant damage, which has a big impact on how battles turn out. For steady damage from a distance that keeps the DPS safe and supported, players can choose a ranged DPS like a ranger or mage. Alternatively, selecting a fighter accommodates various playstyles and offers a more direct approach to DPS.

Tank Hunters – From personal experience, having a solid tank is like having an unwavering shield around your group. Tanks are tough hunters designed to withstand hits and protect your weaker allies from harm. In my opinion, healers are just as important as tanks, and players are free to decide which character to take into dungeon fights. In most situations, a team’s survivability depends on having at least one healer or tank in the line-up.

Support/Buffer Hunters—In Solo Leveling: Arise, a well-rounded team needs a solid support/healer to help sustain the injuries caused in battles. Buffers and debuffs provide essential utility and buffs to improve the team’s performance as a whole. Based on personal experiences, a strong team composition requires a proficient mage who can either control the crowd or increase elemental damage. Their skills not only keep the team going but also increase efficacy in overcoming obstacles.

Breaker Hunters—A breaker is quite important because many enemies have access to strong shields that a proficient breaker must be able to get past. The majority of breakers belong to the Fighter or Tank classes, which provide important crowd control and utility along with reasonable damage. Having a capable breaker on your team guarantees more seamless triumphs in challenging situations.

Best Team Compositions in Solo Leveling: Arise

After you’ve reviewed the core factors that decide how to build a team, let’s consider some of the best existing team compositions. The hunters mentioned here are flexible, but the core roles remain unchanged. 

Mage DPS Team 

• Choi Jong-In

• Min Byung-Gu

• Emma Laurent

• Song Chiyul

As a mage damage dealer, Choi Jong-In’s high damage output and lack of reliance on critical strikes work in perfect harmony with Min Byung-Gu’s superior healing skills and light element damage assistance. Emma Laurent’s break-focused damage dealing, shield providing, and defense penetration enhance the team’s total damage potential. 

This is particularly relevant in light of Song Chiyul’s potential complementary powers and her synergy. This team’s cohesiveness, in my opinion, stems from a well-balanced combination of utility, healing, and damage, which results in a well-rounded strategy for taking on game problems.

Ranger DPS Team 

• Lim Tae-Gyu

• Lee Bora

• Seo Jiwoo

• Min Byung-Gu

Despite his slower cast times on abilities, Lim Tae-Gyu excels at providing significant single-target damage as a hunter of the Ranger class, which makes him perfect for boss fights. Lee Bora shines as a dark element buffer, increasing the team’s damage potential against particular foes, and her summoning skills add to a steady damage output. Seo Jiwoo’s position as the top breaker unit enhances usefulness by providing frequent skill cooldown refreshes and more tankiness.

Min Byung-Gu is a fantastic healer because of his Disguise ability, which increases the team’s capacity for critical damage and durability. When combined, all of these Hunters form a well-rounded Ranger DPS Team that can effectively handle a variety of tasks.

Fighter DPS Team 

• Hwang Dongsoo

• Woo Jinchul

• Baek Yonhoo

• Min Byung-Gu

As a hunter of the Fighter class, Hwang Dongsoo consistently crowd-controls using his stun, knockdown, and flying skills. He also performs exceptionally well against monsters with shields. Though he deals a little less damage, Woo Jinchul improves team survival with mobility, more dodges, and defensive scaling. To compensate for the low damage output, Baek Yoonho is included. He stands out as a formidable light damage dealer, thanks to his explosives and reliable break skills.

The durability of the squad is reinforced by Min Byung-Gu’s healing and crit rate/damage bonuses, as well as his dependability and ease of building. When combined, they create a formidable Fighter DPS Team that can successfully take down enemies and complete the given objectives.
