Solo Leveling centers around a unique concept: mysterious gates pop up all over the earth, swarming with magic beasts and mana crystals. The hunters are the heroes of their realm, protecting and upholding peace.
Hunters are humans who possess magical abilities, which allow them to defeat the beasts. Among them are various ranks based on the International S-E system, with the S-rank being the most formidable to the E-rank, the most feeble.
Here, we have ranked the Top 10 Hunters in Solo Leveling, so stick around until the end.
10. Cha Hae-In
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter |
| Abilities | Mana Smell, Sword Mastery Immense Speed, Strength & Durability, Battle tactics, Quake of Provocation |
Cha Hae-In is the strongest female hunter in Solo Leveling; she isn’t the stereotypical damsel in distress who waits for her husband, Jinwoo, to save her. She is a tigress with an S-rank and impeccable swordsmanship.
She defeated Igris, the shadow of Blood-Red Commander, in a duel with her immense raw strength and speed. She could slice and decapitate the Ant Queen with a swift sword strike.
Haw-in can transform her sword into a luminous form, allowing her to slice through her foes like butter, and as her speed of attack increases, it appears like she is performing a Sword dance.
9. Yuri Orloff
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter |
| Abilities | Immense Speed, Strength & durability, Battle tactics, Barrier Magic |
Yuri Orloff is one of the strongest Russian hunters specializing in Barrier magic. There are rumors that he had cleared the S-rank dungeons alone.
Yuri is so adept at his barrier magic that he can retrain Kanae Tawata and Minoru Hoshino (both S-rank hunters) of the Draw Sword Guild. He is the strongest defense hunter in the Manhwa.
8. Lennart Niermann
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter |
| Abilities | Immense Speed & Strength, Charge, Battle Tactics |
Lennart is a handsome blondie. He is the strongest hunter in Germany and officially the twelfth strongest hunter in the world. He is the Guild Master of the Richter Guild.
Lennart is one of the most astute hunters. He remains calm and composed and attacks with his battle tactics, as seen in the “Monarch’s War Arc,” where he dueled with Rakan, the Monarch of Fabngs, and the King of Beasts.
He is quite an observer, as he could sense Jinwoo’s shadow soldiers during the international conference and was able to pick up on Jinwoo’s overpowering aura.
7. Go Gunhee
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter |
| Abilities | Immense Speed & Strength, Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation |
Go Gunhee, the revered chairman of the Korean Hunters Association, was an S-rank Hunter with a righteous personality who was like a father figure for Jinwoo.
In his prime, he would have tackled any hunter head-on, but despite his age factor in the Manhwa, Gunhee was able to fend off the Frost Monarch. Had Jinwoo not been present, Gunhee would have bagged Korea’s top rank, coming second to Sung IIhwan.
Gunhee was one of the vessels of a Ruler, automatically making him one of the top ten strongest in his world.
6. Siddarth Bachchan
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter/National Hunter |
| Abilities | Immense Speed & Strength, Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation |
As the name suggests, Siddarth Bachchan was the strongest Hunter from India, ranking as the fourth strongest hunter in his world and a Ruler’s vessel.
The Manhwa doesn’t display Siddarth. However, He is commended by Liu Zhigang for being a brave warrior with a golden heart who is driven by a savior complex, extending his abilities to help people.
5. Christopher Reed
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter/National Hunter |
| Abilities | Immense Speed & Strength, Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation |
Christopher Reed was a gem; he was the second most powerful hunter in America and officially ranked as the third strongest hunter in his world.
He was a Ruler’s vessel, possessing Spiritual Body Manifestation and Telekinesis. Unfortunately, the Manhwa doesn’t portray the extent of his battle prowess, as the monarch executed him.
Despite his tragic end, had he been alive, his raw strength would have easily taken down any hunter except Jinwoo, IIhwan, and Thomas.
4. Liu Zhigang
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter/National Hunter |
| Abilities | Energy Slash Attack, Immense Speed & Strength, Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation |
Liu Zhigang is the strongest hunter in China, bearing the revered title “Hero of China. ” He officially ranks as the second-strongest Hunter in the world.
During the “Jeju Island Arc,” he was the forebearer in defending Chinese coastal waters and could crush over a hundred ants without effort. When the S-rank gate opened in Japan, Zhigang was fighting beasts head-on.
He is a swordsman and Ruler’s Vessel, possessing Spiritual Body Manifestation, Telekinesis, and other abilities.
3. Thomas Andre
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter/National Hunter |
| Abilities | Power Smash, Capture, High Durability, Immense Speed & Strength, Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation |
Thomas Andre is a blonde beast, aka “Goliath,” who officially holds the “Strongest Hunter” title in his world and America. He is the Guild Master of the Scavenger Guild.
When the Beast monarch attacked the city, Thomas could withstand his blows using Spiritual Body Manifestation, holding him off until Jonwoo saved him.
In terms of physical strength, he matches his appearance; he is like a lion with strength and virtues. When he realized that Jinwoo was stronger than him in raw strength, he humbly accepted and gained respect for Jinwoo.
2. Sung Ilhwan
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter |
| Abilities | Stealth, High Durability, Immense Speed & Strength, Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation |
Sung Ilhwan is Sung Jinwoo’s father and is like the Godzilla of his world, so much so that a couple of A-rank hunters mistook him for a monster and tried to kill him, which was in vain as IIhwan swatted them away like flies.
Sung IIhwan had been trapped in a dungeon for over a decade, where he had been salvaged by the Rulers, who bestowed powers onto him, making him one of the strongest S-rank hunters.
He could block full-blown attacks and take down the Ice monarch and Beast monarch, a feat impossible for humans in their realm, except for Jinwoo.
1. Sung Jinwoo
| Classification | S-Rank Hunter/Shadow Monarch |
| Abilities | Colossal Strength, Immense Speed & Durability, Shadow Extraction, Shadow Exchange, Quick Silver, Monarch’s Domain, Detoxification, Astralization, Acausality, Hypnosis, etc. |
Sung Jinwoo bags the topmost rank as he goes from being the weakest E-rank hunter to the strongest S-rank hunter on Earth or the universe of Solo Leveling.
After clearing vigorous levels and missions, he became the Shadow Monarch, and the power to resurrect the dead was bestowed on him. With this ability, he commands an army of a whopping ten million Shadow Soldiers.
He is technically invincible, as he has a plethora of abilities. For example, “Shadow Extraction” allows him to extract shadows from his dead enemies and turn them into his soldiers.
Another stellar example is “Stealth,” which allows him to become invisible, like Harry Potter’s invisible cloak, but even better, as Jinwoo can erase his presence.
