Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Solo Leveling: Arise, and let me tell you, figuring out the weapons is a whole thing. I started out just grabbing whatever looked cool, but quickly realized that some weapons are just way better than others. So, I decided to get serious and really figure out this whole weapon tier thing.

First, I scoured the internet. I read through tons of guides, forum posts, and watched a bunch of YouTube videos. Everyone seemed to have different opinions, but some names kept popping up.
My Initial Experiments
I started by just trying out a bunch of different weapons in the early game. I focused on the ones I could get my hands on easily. I noticed that some weapons felt really clunky, while others were super smooth and fast. I also paid attention to the damage numbers, obviously. I quickly figured out using element advantages.
- I Quickly figured out that having different element type weapons is a must.
Digging Deeper
Then I started getting into the more advanced stuff. I learned about things like “Break” effects, and how important it is to stagger enemies. I also started paying more attention to the weapon skills, and how they could be used in combos.
Figuring It Out
After hours of playing, testing, and, yes, even some frustrating failures, I started to form my own opinions that SSR are top tier and I put the following weapons to good use:
- Demonic Plum Flower Sword.
- The Huntsman.
- Shadow Scythe.
These ones, I will say, are my solid go-to that just feel amazing. And they just shred through enemies, especially when you use them right.

So, yeah, that’s my journey so far with Solo Leveling: Arise weapons. It’s been a lot of trial and error, but it’s been super rewarding to finally feel like I’m getting a handle on things. I’m still learning, of course, but I’m definitely feeling a lot more confident in my weapon choices now!
