Summary
Hunters inSolo Levelingare tasked with different responsibilities based on their experience, class, and rank. Some are better suited for supporting a raid by healing their comrades, while others specialize in melee combat to take on dangerous magic beasts. Irrespective of rank, hunters gifted with varied abilities and powers are always in demand because of their unique capabilities.
Therefore,versatile huntersare sought after by powerful guilds who wish to enlist people who can handle multiple responsibilities. Throughout the series, several characters demonstrate exceptional adaptability, seamlessly switching between different roles or using different skills to benefit their teammates. While all of them are undoubtedly talented, these seven are arguablythe most versatile hunters inSolo Leveling.
7Song Chi-Yul
Survivor Of Double Dungeon Disaster
Song Chi-Yulmay not be as strong as some of the other hunters on this list, but he is surprisingly versatile. As a C-rank mage-class hunter, he has honed his skills to the extreme and is exceptionally competent at using fire magic. Aside from that, he is also a master swordsman who can hold his own against more powerful hunters.
I’d like to spend what I have left contributing to society.
Song Chi-Yul’s fire magic, along with his swordsmanship, makes him a decent hunter who has shown that he is a responsible leader capable of guiding inexperiencedhunters through low-ranked Gates. When Kang Taeshik murdered prisoners and two hunters in the Dungeon & Prisoners arc, Song Chi-Yul took it upon himself to fight against him. Despite Taeshik being an assassin-type hunter, Song gave him a good fight, relying mostly on his swordsmanship skills. This is quite an achievement for a mage-class hunter who specializes in fire magic.
6Go Gunhee
Japan’s Oldest Hunter
The Chairman of the Korean Hunters Association,Go Gunheeis a retired hunter who has an insatiabledrive for fighting magic beasts. He often expresses his sadness and frustration over his aging body, which speaks volumes about his commitment to his role as a hunter.
Someday, you’ll have to make a decision. But when that day comes, please continue to stand on the side of humanity.
AlthoughGunhee retired a few years beforethe events of the mainSolo Levelingstoryline, his intimidating aura and commanding presence still inspire respect from younger hunters. Even at his advanced age, Go can move at blinding speed and is incredibly strong. He also possesses the power to control objects with his mind, and at full his potential, this skill is strong enough to disarm even strong magic beasts. As if this is not enough, Go can also perform Spiritual Body Manifestation, a rare ability accessible only to the best-of-the-best hunters.
5Min Byung-Gyu
S-Rank Healer
Min Byung-Gyuisan S-ranked healerwho has been part of and contributed to several high-stakes missions. He is quite adept at healing magic and has demonstrated that he can also significantly enhance the powers of his comrades.
Apart from being an incredibly gifted healer, Min Byung-Gyu is a respectable A-rank combatant who can even put up a fight against strong magic beasts. In the third Jeju Island raid, he contributed to the raid by fighting evolved ants on the island. He not only healed his comrades but also protected them with his fighting skills, something that only a handful of hunters are capable of.
4Liu Zhigang
China’s 7-Star Hunter
Liu Zhigangis the strongest National Level Hunter after Thomas Andre.As a fighter-class hunter, he specializes in melee combat and presumably has a ruthless fighting approach. Since Zhigang is a master swordsman, his weapons of choice are twin swords.
Strangely, Liu also has telekinetic powers, something fighter-class hunters typically are not capable of.Like other National Level Hunters, Zhigang also possesses the ability of Spiritual Body Manifestation. In the Jeju Island arc, while Sung Jinwoo is fighting on the island, China’s 7-Star Hunter waits to confront every ant that approaches his country. He violently butchers each wave of ants in typical fighter-class hunter fashion. However, what makes Liu special is his ability to control objects with his mind. With the exception of Sung Il-Hwan and Go Gunhee, only National-level hunters are gifted with such a power.
3Thomas Andre
Greatest National Level Hunter
Thomas Andreisone of the five hunters who defeated the dragon Kamish. Unsurprisingly, he is also one of the most sought-after hunters in the world and is widely recognized as the strongest until Jinwoo’s reawakening.
Andre is a tankerwith incredible defensive powers, but he is also surprisingly good in hand-to-hand combat. He is also gifted with superhuman strength that can even overwhelm the best fighter-class hunters in the world. In the International Guild Conference arc, when Thomas fights Sung Jinwoo, he surprises him by using Capture, a telekinetic skill that should not be accessible to a hunter of his class. Furthermore, he also appears to specialize in melee combat, able to engage at close range. Although he loses the battle, Andre demonstrates that his powers are beyond the scope of any other hunter in his class.
2Baek Yonhoo
White Tiger Guild’s Leader
Baek Yonhoois one of the few hunterswho has been to Jeju Islandtwice and returned alive on both occasions. With years of experience under his belt, Yonhoo is an adept combatant capable of handling high-level threats.
I always believed that a single hero couldn’t end a war by himself. But after recent events, I’m starting to think that maybe I was wrong. Chin up, Mr. Sung. You were able to put an end to this tragedy.
Baek is also one of the few hunters in the series who is capable of transforming into a humanoid monster. With his incredible strength and immense endurance, he can fight in his human form but also swiftly switch to the beast form when the situation demands. His adaptability sets him apart from most hunters, and his versatile skills are almost impossible to replicate.
1Sung Jinwoo
Korea’s Best Hunter
Sung Jinwoowas once regarded as humanity’s weakest hunter, but his life took an unprecedented turn following his reawakening. He rose through the ranks and ended upbecoming Korea’s 10th S-rank hunter. Although he is a mage-class hunter, Jinwoo is gifted with powers that are typically not associated with mages.
Take Stealth, for example, one of the main skills of an assassin-type hunter thatJinwoo can use with remarkable controland efficiency. His advanced dagger techniques can put most fighter-class hunters to shame, and his defensive techniques are better than most tankers. Furthermore, Jinwoo has shown that he can heal people with fatal injuries and life-threatening diseases using potions. When all else fails, Jinwoo can extract shadows from his defeated enemies and add them to his army. While these shadows are not abilities that Jinwoo uses directly, they obey his commands and are, therefore, another way in which he is the most versatile hunter inSolo Leveling.
