Sung Jinwoo’s journey in Solo Leveling was nothing short of legendary, as he climbed from the weakest E-Rank Hunter to the almighty Shadow Monarch. His army of shadows grew alongside his power, each minion showcasing unique abilities and devastating strength. But not all shadows are created equal, and some stood out as absolute game-changers.
In this article, we rank Sung Jinwoo’s strongest shadows, from the fearsome beasts of the Red Gate to the legendary figures gifted by the former Shadow Monarch himself.
10Tank
Tank was Jinwoo’s first beastly addition to his shadow army, revived after a fierce battle with Ice Bears in the Red Gate. Despite his raw strength and colossal size, Tank serves more as a symbol of Jinwoo’s early growth than a major combat force. His razor-sharp claws and immense power make him a solid but straightforward soldier in Jinwoo’s ranks.
Abilities: Colossal Strength, High Attack Power
Rank: Knight
9Kaisel
Kaisel, a wyvern Jinwoo claimed after defeating Baran, acts as Jinwoo’s trusted aerial transport. While its combat capabilities were rarely showcased, Kaisel’s unmatched speed and flight ability made it an invaluable asset for quick escapes and travel.
Abilities: Immense Speed, Flight, Enhanced Senses
Rank: Knight

Jima, a massive sea serpent-like creature, proved to be a challenge for even A-Rank hunters during a raid. Its hard scales, size manipulation, and regenerative powers made it a force to be reckoned with after Jinwoo added it to his ranks.
Abilities: Size Manipulation, Regeneration
Rank: Elite Knight
7Iron
Once an A-Rank Hunter, Iron was resurrected after an unfortunate encounter with Jinwoo and his team. Known for his unyielding loyalty, Iron was a tank in every sense, using his Shout of Provocation to draw enemies’ attention and his regenerative abilities to sustain prolonged battles.
Abilities: Regeneration, Shout of Provocation
Rank: Elite Knight
6Greed
Greed was the shadow of Hwang Dongsoo, an S-Rank Hunter who made the mistake of underestimating Jinwoo. Despite his relatively short screen time, Greed was a solid addition to the shadow army, bringing incredible strength and resilience to the battlefield.

Abilities: Immense Strength, Healing Magic, High Durability, Flight
Rank: Marshal
2Kamish
Kamish, the legendary dragon and humanity’s greatest calamity, briefly served as a shadow under Jinwoo’s command. Though his time in the army was fleeting due to his long-dead state, Kamish’s sheer power, even in his diminished form, was awe-inspiring.
