*UPDATED* HUNTER TIER LIST! HAN SE-MI & GO GUNHEE PLACEMENT! [Solo Leveling: Arise]

Bro my heart hurts seeing the original queen falling off...... They better buff Cha 😢🙏

True

Alicia was just perfectly made from dps to ice armor to cc. mirei is good too but squishy

[@strawbam6786]

Mirei might have alot of dps but Alicia is just perfect(and way more safe).

[@Rence1104]

Yeah if you know you know

[@Aka_705]

No bro actually mirei is better in every aspect compared to Alicia both of them mainly depends on ultimate.....and mirei spawn more basic skills that Alicia and damage output is ridiculous. And I finished 25th floor without Alicia because I have mirei so try focusing on mirei and u will see significant power up 🤘🏻😊😊I hope I didn't spelled out anything wrong

[@strawbam6786]

@@Aka_705 better in every aspect? no crowd control, slow jump that leaves you open to get hit, no shield, no support skill effect other than dmg. She literally just have higher dps and thats all.

[@belldandygames1916]

Its hard to evaluate the characters as it is due to the fact that many of them are designed to work with other characters of the same element. A suggestion may be to rank the best team compositions based on their utility in reverse mode and raids. Mono colored teams will usually fare better but I suspect there may be exceptions. IMO: Water - Most well rounded element in the game now, with good or top characters in every role, and decent SR back ups for DPS and breaking. Alicia, Seo, Meilin: Top AOE DPS, high survivability (consistent CC, thicc shields, (character) debuff removal), shield removal. Weakness: relatively weak breaking, limited debuffs, limited healing Alternatives: Anna (DPS), Nam (Breaker), JooHee (Healer, Mp recovery, shield ) Wind - Best element for raid content in the game now, with excellent characters for every role. However, aside from the main 3, there are no decent back up options. Mirei, Woo, Han: Top single target DPS, invulnerability, excellent raid buffs, debuffs, strong team buffs, 'full health' healing, Mp recovery, (ground) debuff removal, strong break, CC (limited) Weakness: Mana dependent, squishy Main DPS, inconsistent damage output on auto, thin shields, poor AOE attack Alternatives: Hwang Dongsoo (weaker DPS, shield removal), Park heejin (Support, (character) debuff removal, no heals) Fire - No dedicated healing support yet, but Emma currently plays the role of breaker/support/healer to some extent. Run fire with another full healer/support like Min for a balanced team, or run it with two DPS and hope they don't die. There are no decent SR back up options. Emma, Min, SooHyun: High single target DPS, High AOE DPS, Strong break, excellent debuffs, Top Defence penetration, good healing Weakness: Thin shields, no debuff removal, no CC Alternatives: Choi (DPS or as 2nd DPS) Light - Well rounded element with good characters in every role and decent SR back ups for breaking Cha, Min, Go (raid buff) or Baek (debuff) - Good single target DPS, Top breaking, good raid buffs (with Go), excellent debuffs (with Baek), healing disable Weakness: No shields, limited healing, no CC, limited AOE attack Alternatives: Yoo Jinho: (Break/Heal), Kim Chul (Break/shield) Dark - difficult to set a balanced full dark team, you will have to chose to go with no healing, no breaker, or no main DPS. Or Just run 3 different elements With SM Baek as main DPS, Bora as DPS+Support hybrid, or Lim as dark breaker. Currently the weakest Hunter element group in the game.

[@muhammadfaezal6505]

[@PayneBlade]

100%

[@roronoamoji2794]

A big one, she should be atleast top3 currently

[@Danielsworlds]

Emma is so good that she has break on all of her abilities. But we don't run her with break gear because she is just too versatile to be locked into breaking alone

[@PayneBlade]

Agreed

[@roronoamoji2794]

What is better than the break set on her?

[@coolasme97]

Hey Payne! Just wanted to let you know that I've been watching all the videos in your solo leveling playlist and it has helped me a lot! I just searched for an update tier list and you somehow uploaded it just a few minutes ago! Subbed! ❤️

[@slar30]

man i realised these tier lists are subject to change whenever new content releases as the peak shifts and thats why this game keeps earning so that whenever the tides change people want the new meta charcter

[@cookiedidntdoit]

Payne you're a great content provider. My 'sleeping on mouso' comment wasn't a diss or hate. It was just you always give props and I can tell from this video (haven't watched everything since with apologies). You've given your flowers, which is the guy you are. Unrelated - Woo as the lowest 3rd lowest breaker ain't it. He isn't Emma, but his combo, easiest breaker to use, fastest skills, and buffs for Mirei makes him the best breaker in the game no cap. If Emma had decent dps in fire I'd agree. But she doesn't, they are both almost voided except from guild boss fights depending on your lineups. You love woo, Woo is basically a support breaker for Mirei. Quite frankly I'm shocked. Woo is gonna kick your a$$ again bro. Please be safe out here

[@PayneBlade]

No worries. That whole Mouso thing way out of control. Considering I've praised him in numerous videos and dedicated 2 videos about him and his game play and even called him a pro gamer, people forgot all about that. Unnecessary drama started for nothing. Emma just has easier user gsmeplay because she is a one button unit for each skill with a lot less skill requirements

[@Anishvai01]

Guys easy Vulcan is glitched af. I was trying (50F) then at the start I clicked the animation skip button and suddenly I won. Don't know what happened but am I in trouble guys (I couldn't get the screenshot cause game lagged hard). I even reported it to devs and am yet to receive a response on any kind.

[@neoinfinity5204]

Pretty strict and acceptable tier (although ss and sss seems dumb and redundant with S being OP) I’m happy Bora is still second tier as always thanks to her utility and maybe the new dark girls which push her to finally top tier

[@itsjustharry7302]

I got A5 Alicia as a free2play.

[@zerapthus1428]

The fall of Payne's angel

[@pmortal1]

The list seems quite spot on. Im wondering more about emma being on the top tier. She's good because of her aoe and her break but is that what makes her godly?

[@PayneBlade]

Fastest cleared for aoe in the game, shielder, buffer, DMG and breaker

[@_ABeastOfPrey_]

She basically guarantees you high ranking in any time attack, has good dmg multipliers for a breaker unit and all that stuff. So she is basically Seo with less dmg and buffs on top of that

[@dailytigs6629]

I called it, been saying Han si-me's resurrection skill on A3 will be cracked for guild boss.

[@xHASIRA]

I wonder when we'll get a fire support hunter. All other elements seem to have one except for fire?

[@_ABeastOfPrey_]

Yeah, and we've got Soohyun as a second damage dealer, who never fought in the Manhwa in the first place)

[@onlygens1502]

yoo sohyun shouldve been a support, who tf decided to make a non fighting model stronger than 'the ultimate hunter'

[@abhish69]

I don't see much use for fire hunters anyways. All major bosses require either wind or water or dark and sometimes lightning too but rarely fire.

[@xHASIRA]

@@abhish69 It is true, not much fire required content as of now. But who knows, they might give us some in the future maybe? Idk, I like balance in all things so it's throwing me off a bit 😅

[@_DarkAce_]

I think they should release that national level hunter Christopher Reed from manhwa coz he looked like a fire element hunter and he should be ofc broken fire hunter with some content for him too

[@manishvyas2154]

They need to buff the characters as the game moves on and honestly speaking, Gunhee deserved better.

[@tweeks7126]

Yes baek 2.0

[@Nikato]

Kinda wish people would stop with the suprise that release characters are being power crept, especially considering we are getting new content with different atributes. Why should Cha, a release character, continually outperform new characters? She shouldnt. The fact that NM buffs old characters is not that common in Gacha Games, and I feel its because NM doesnt have much in the way of characters to use, so they have to keep older ones relevant. But, again, outside of her ability to keep mobs from healing, we should be expecting her to drop in usefulness as new content comes out.

[@masahirukouta21]

i would say soo hyun is god tier, she dealt so much dps, she is the reason i can hit 1 bil in my second pod team, you can bring her to any pod team, wind/fire/light it doesnt matter her atk will become weakness. plus she help a lot in b of time. if you bring and auto go gun hee, go gun hee will break the boss like butter, i bring him to arach bot, and god he breaks arach like in seconds. cha hae in still better than emma... emma....not so much anymore

[@tatsuyashiba5950]

As a F2P should I summon Han Se-Mi or Go Gunhee or none or both? I have 66 tickets and 15k essence stones?

[@PayneBlade]

because we can get a1 GGH I would push for more Han

[@tatsuyashiba5950]

@@PayneBlade thx for the advice. Really appreciate it

[@brunorefundini7755]

Payne, I have a question. Did you put Chae in front of SM Baek because she was better and "more useful" to the team, while SM Baek has more raw damage, but in the case of Mirei/Alicia it was the other way around?

[@PayneBlade]

Useful to characters but SM Baek does more DMG now

[@Spoopball]

ya, in Payne's the latest test analysis video, SM beak can and does do more raw dmg, and even more so if the boss is immune to bleed. But Cha's debuff is still a good team wide universal dmg buff since her start. And if the boss has a regen mechanic, then she basically solo's.

[@Souyirou]

Could you please make an updated video of the best gears for hunters? if possible just the "best" gear, I don't think people changes them depending on the situation, usually just run with one till a better set comes out.

[@bryandee2992]

Hi payne. which one is better? 33k atk 50% critrate 155% cdmg or 31k atk 50% crit rate 170% cdmg?

[@sprachloses5168]

I think you should consider renaming the tiers. Like I see where u wanna go with this but it just doesnt make sense to have a tier named godly, one that is broken and one that is OP - like thats literally all the same in gaming terms. When I say a unite is OP then theyre obviously broken and godly since OP means OVERPOWERED. Also why having SSS, SS and S? Just make S, A, B, C, ... . (I hope I dont have to mention that this isnt hate at all, just a recommendation towards what makes more sense)

[@PayneBlade]

Ya that was the goal tbh. I forgot to remove the silly titles

[@AbHi12DaS]

Cha has been shadow nerfed imo ...a5 cha is now doing same damage as A2 cha was doing before. Even after level upgrade and all ...and I also tried diff stages but it's true don't know if it's the crits making problem or don't know ....but cha's advancements now doesn't feel something greater even A2 Alicia outclassed her in some time

[@abhish69]

I just don't get the hype with Mihn even after leveling him so much his total power still lacks and anytime I've used him I got annihilated. Doesn't even provide enough damage buff so I end up using Alicia and Instant W. Maybe I need a1 and a2 to make him useful but as a single piece I would say he's the worst SSR. Atleast Dongsoo can spam his skills back to back and pairing him with Woo you get a damage buff on him.

[@PayneBlade]

U gotta use him right. He provides power gauge increase when u QTE him in, gives 15% more DMG increase on enemies when u do his skill 2 in disguise and gives insane Crit DMG bonus in disguise with ult, DMG increase and Crit rate

[@abhish69]

@@PayneBlade Hey man, thanks for the quick reply. Which artifact set would you say is best for Mihn? I'm currently using the Holy Set and Aquamarine set with him.

what are you smoking, putting Choi to SS broken lmfao. they guy by far worst SSR unit right now for very type of content IG.

[@PayneBlade]

Im smoking new guild content and how useful he is since it's come out. I explained it

[@ziogas2000]

@@PayneBlade There are plenty more useful units instead of him for guild boss. + There are plenty ways to replace Chois defense debuff at IT. Not to mention unit was created without crit for pure damage purposes - which he clearly doesn't provide. Im flabergasted your not dissing Netmarble, raising community awareness as well so they would fix what a joke this unit become. Old Jinchull wasn't as big of a clown as most of us think today of Choi.

[@PayneBlade]

I've already talked numerous times about Choi and his downfall and the same with cha. Don't over dramatize the situation please. It's an opinionated tier list with backed up data. Yes Choi isn't anywhere near as good as he was but we have ALL already said he needs a buff. Doesn't mean he doesn't have his uses

[@ziogas2000]

I appreciate the insight Payne. I completely understand that this is an opinionated tier list backed by data, and I'm not trying to overdramatize the situation. However, I do feel that Choi's current state deserves more attention, especially given how significantly his performance has declined. Even when maxed out, Choi is struggling to make a meaningful impact, particularly when compared to other units. For example, in guild boss battles, it’s not uncommon for Choi to deal just 10-20 million damage, which is notably low, especially when support units are outshining him in both damage and utility. This clearly indicates that he’s not just underperforming-he’s in a miserable state. While I agree that Cha needed a buff, Choi’s situation is even more dire. I think it's important for the community and content creators like you, Zaff, and others to bring more awareness to just how badly Choi has been gutted. He’s in serious need of a revamp or a significant damage buff to bring him back to a competitive level.

I think you're too generous payne Dongsoo Lim and Baek are not OP by any standards Choi is by no standards broken he's one of the worst SSRs and nowhere close to Cha (which I hate cuz he was my first a5 ssr) If you call so many bad hunters op or broken netmarble will not see them as needing buffs if they see your videos Choi is the ultimate hunter lorewise but he's the ultimate disappointment in game and needs a buff he is not broken

No way Dongsoo is the worst SSR, you must test him again doing two scavengers for rotation of impulse revenge instead of spamming on cd which is absolutely terrible.

[@PayneBlade]

Ya sadly even with the rotations and %s he has the least usage in the game atm. It's not that he is bad but he needs more utility

[@neokuuu]

​@@PayneBlade KZbin is deleting my replies, not sure why so I can't explain in detail, forgive me for the short summary: Dongsoo is a defense burst DPS with more utility than most dps (shield removal) and short rotations (allows subdps). He has very very big multipliers with A1 for a minimum 18000 of defense per rotation. The only problem is that you NEED to parry for him to do damage, this is required for his rotations and is something that nobody does which makes him seem bad. I have a guide on the sub but I cannot mention it in case it is triggering a spam alert or something weird.

[@adelbechtoula]

Lots of characters are being power crept very quickly which is not a good thing a character needs at least 6 to 8 months of being at the top untill a better charcter comes out instead of them being overwhelmed by the tough content just look at alicia's kit she is a well made character that will be at the top for a while and I think instead of just randomly buffing characters they need to implement an event in the game that buffs out dated characters for example in DBZ dokkan battle there's something called EZA and what it does is it basically brings the character from the mud and makes them a top 10-5 character in the game so something like that would be greatly anticipated by the players, aside from that we need dependable SR characters that fills the gap of fallen SSR characters we haven't gotten a new SR character since the game released, with each new SSR character there should be an SR character coming with it wether to support it or to support another element.
