Which hunters should you recruit first in Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive?

You'll be fighting for the bulk of the main story as Sung Jinwoo stars Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrivebut smart team composition using only the strongest hunters you can afford to recruit can be the difference between life and succeeding in your mission, or death and trying again.

Each Hunter in Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive brings something unique to the table with both an element they specialize in and a consistent combat role they will play when inserted into your team. Spend your hard-earned Hunt Coins on only the strongest Solo Leveling:Arise Overdrive Hunters and power up.

Choi Jong-In

An S-Rank Hunter, if you're a Solo Leveling fan, Choi Jong-In needs no introduction. He is the strongest hunter in the series, and you will see Sung Jinwoo marveling at meeting him the first time you talk in the player hub. Despite being one of the harder bargains, this infamous Hunter is worth his weight in Hunt Coins.

That's because Choi Jong-In has one of the highest attack stats you'll find of any hunter in the game, and with him as a mage in battle, you have plenty of opportunities for damage.

Choi Jong-In not only has really good AoE damage, but boosting the burn damage he can do with his fire skills and blasting enemies as they burst open is one of his specialties on the field.

Amamiya Mirei

Amamiya Mirei will already be familiar to you if you're a fan of manhwa, after Solo Leveling Arise got a spinoff volume. This wind killer is amazing not only alone in battle, but unlocking a second Hunter in Woo Jinchul makes them unstoppable.

You can expect to see excellent burst damage from Amamiya Mirei when she's on the field, and her Super Armor makes her much harder to hit in any meaningful way when enemies are counterattacking. She's clearly ready for battle, and she'll show you what she can bring to your teammates.

Woo Jinchul

As mentioned above in Amamiya Mirei's post in our list of the best recruitable hunters you can seek out in Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive, you'll find that Woo Jinchul is almost a perfect match for the aforementioned Wind Assassin. Even on its own, though, you'll find plenty of uses for Woo Jinchul on the field.

With such impressive shielding and breaking abilities, he's basically a must if you want to execute any meaningful defensive breaks so the other teammates can rush in and attack while the enemy is down and distracted. He's a great pair for almost any Wind character, but with Amamiya Mireis is where you'll see him shine the brightest.

Baek Yoonho

Although you have to get used to the much more heavy play style of a character like Baek Yoonho, especially if you end up using him in the Co-Op Play mode, you will find no shortage of impressive moves and skills on this Light Fighter.

Not only does Baek Yoonho have pretty good DPS compared to other characters in his class, you'll also find that he himself is nearly indestructible. He has amazing defensive stats that pair well with his heavy DPS, allowing him to get up close and personal with the enemies he takes out before clearing them out with ease.

Nam Chae-Young

The easiest negotiation you'll encounter from any of the characters that made the jump for our list of the strongest hunters in Solo Leveling: Arise, Nam Chae-Young is an excellent addition to the team no matter who you bring in. She is an Aqua user who can safely stay away from the action to keep herself protected.

Solo Leveling: Watching Order

Solo Leveling is a hit among recent anime series. If you need a watch guide for that, you've come to the right place.

She is also considered one of the more beginner-friendly teammates, due to her low investment cost for a high return on her ranged damage. If you need some long-range support and you're not yet comfortable with ranged fighters on the field, consider Nam Chae-Young to get you started.

Lee Bora

Once you've gotten the hang of having ranged fighters on your team, especially those whose magical power will be a focal point of their battle, consider bringing Lee Bora to your team's next mission in Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive. Another tough recruit to pull off, Lee Bora has a few roles to play on your team, making her worth the effort.

Not only is Lee Bora excellent with her DPS output as a Dark Mage, but you'll find that she also has some potent support moves. However, work on upgrading both of these stats soon, and keep Lee Bora viable with your team in the end game of Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive.

Cha Hae-In

If you're a fan of stacking your critical hit damage (and increasing the rate at which you land critical hits in combat), then you'll definitely want to invest in Cha Hae-In before too long. She only has a normal difficulty for her recruitment, unlike most of the other hunters on our list, so she's a much easier teammate to convince.

Once she's in your battle formations, you'll find that Cha Hae-In helps out in a number of ways, including but not limited to never letting your enemies get a chance to heal if they should. Because of this ability, you'll find her helpful in combat-heavy dungeon crawls and boss fights where you also have minions to fend off.

Alicia Blanche

You'll struggle to find an Aqua user with a better damage output on numbers alone than Alicia Blanche. While she is a staple in any Aqua team, she is powerful enough to stand on her own even when placed in mixed teams.

As a Mage, you have to pay a little more attention to where she stands on the field than with other characters who move around more and engage in more close combat, but as long as you know how to keep her safe (her HP is relatively low to begin with and will require upgrades over time), she's definitely worth recruiting.
