Solo Leveling: Arise Sung Jinwoo.Netmarble

Solo Leveling: Arise lets players obtain and equip several different Artifacts for Sung Jinwoo and all other hunter characters to give them unique skill and ability upgrades.

You can get two types of Artifacts: Armor and Jewelry. Just like any popular gacha game, once you have collected and equipped half or the whole of the set, your characters will gain even more benefits.

The June 19 Arise update introduced the first eight-piece Artifact sets, that use the same four-piece Armor and four-piece Jewelry set to be equipped to gain even further benefits. These are the Burning Blessing, Burning Greed and Burning Curse Artifact sets.

Solo Leveling Arise: Best Artifact sets for every hunter character

Every hunter in Solo Leveling: Arise will best benefit from having different Artifacts and their sets equipped due to the diverse range of skills and abilities, as well as the strengths and weaknesses they possess.

Solo Leveling: Arise Sung Jinwoo Artifact menu.Netmarble
Sung Jinwoo with the full Toughness (Hard Leather) Armor set and Expert (Beast) Jewelry set equipped.

For example, Choi Jong-In can’t perform Critical Damage attacks, so using the Toughness (Hard Leather) Armor Artifact set and the Expert (Beast) Jewelry Artifact set to boost these stats, is completely pointless.

Toughness (Hard Leather) has remained as the most popular Armor set choice, which was picked 15 times and increases Critical Hit Damage. Armed (Black Lion) falls in second with 14 picks and increases overall Attack damage.

Meanwhile, the Executioner (Behemoth), which greatly increases damage when your health is low, and the Expert (Beast), which increases Critical Hit damage was the joint most popular Jewelry set with 11 picks. The Berserker (Skeleton) and Outstanding Connection (Aquamarine) were both picked 9 times respectively.

All three of the Burning Artifact sets have proved to be OP and will be worth you getting in Solo Leveling: Arise, despite this being a grind. Whether you make use of their two-piece, four-piece, or eight-piece benefits, they will greatly benefit your hunter characters.

Burning Greed’s insane Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Rate and Break damage buffs have been the most popular choice with 12 picks. Burning Curse was one of the best Artifact sets for 9 characters due to its pure Attack buffs, which are especially suited to Choi Jong-In due to his inability to hit Critical Hits.

Solo Leveling: Arise’s July 31 update has shaken up the Artifact meta even more with its 6 brand-new sets each with different benefits. The standout from these are the Crimson Knight (Warmonger) and Hot Summer Armor sets, as well as the Obsidian Jewelry set.

Burning Blessing is still a strong choice, but it is only beneficial for support-based units within your team.
