Getting beaten up is a bit embarrassing when you’re the Monarch of Shadows. Protecting your pride isn’t the only reason to make Sung Jinwoo as strong as possible, however. Strengthening Sung and the rest of your squad makes farming Gates and completing quests far easier in Solo Leveling Arise. Just because it’s a gacha game doesn’t mean you have to suffer. If you’ve played much Genshin Impact you may already understand stat building, but we’ve got you covered either way. Baek Yoonho and Lee Joohee are counting on us, after all. Here are the best stats for Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling Arise.
Solo Leveling Arise Best Stats Guide
After the Double Dungeon incident, our dashing hero has something to prove. There are a few viable ways to build characters, so the best stats for Sung Jinwoo and others in Solo Leveling Arise depend in part on your strategy. As the game’s hero, Sung is often in the thick of things as a jack-of-all-trades or used as frontline DPS. With that in mind, here’s how we’d prioritize stats for the Monarch of Shadows:
| Stat | Priority | Reason |
| Strength | High | High Strength makes it easy to maintain consistent DPS even when you’re waiting for cooldowns. |
| Perception | High | Perception raises Precision which increases the damage cap, allowing you to do more damage than would be possible otherwise. |
| Agility | Mid | Agility affects Critical Hit Rate and Critical Damage, which are important but somewhat dependent on what weapon you’re using. |
| Intelligence | Low | Total MP isn’t a huge deal for Sung the way it might be for healers and other characters. Shorter cooldowns are also nice but optional. |
| Vitality | Low | HP and Defense aren’t worth buffing when you can instead increase your DPS and kill enemies faster than they can kill you. |
Every character brings something unique to the table. Just because they’re not an S-tier hero doesn’t mean they’re useless; they might just need the right stats and gear to reveal their true potential. If you want to build your Sung around the Huntsman or Shadow Scythe, give it a try. The weakest E-Rank hero won’t stay weak for long.
Alternative Sung Jinwoo Stats and Builds
Going high Agility and high Perception while dumping the other stats is a good alternative. With this build, you’re trading basic attack damage for more likely and harder-hitting crits. The Demonic Plum Flower Sword makes crit builds powerful for Sung, so the best stats in Solo Leveling Arise are arguably those that work best with that playstyle. Go this route, and the Guilds will have something new to talk about.
Solo Leveling Arise is available for PC and Mobile.
