Since the release of Solo Leveling: Arise, Seo Jiwoo has been one of the best hunters. However, you’ll still need to level up certain stats and skills, as well as obtain the best weapons and Artifacts to maximize her skill set.
Jiwoo is a diverse character who we have ranked as an A-tier hunter in Arise due to her many strengths. In particular, she is especially strong at dealing damage while solo for extended periods thanks to her unique skill reset abilities.
This, along with her prowess in breaking bosses and her ability to bestow shields upon your hunting team, makes her a superior character to use throughout Arise.
Here are all the best skills, stats, weapons, and Artifact sets you need to construct the best Seo Jiwoo build in Solo Leveling: Arise.
Best stats
Health, Critical Hit Rate, and Critical Hit Damage are the stats you need to prioritize when creating the ultimate Seo Jiwoo build in Solo Leveling: Arise.
Jiwoo has high Damage-per-second qualities straight out of the box. Equipping and upgrading skills, weapons, and Artifacts that buff Critical Hit and Health stats will make her formidable throughout the game.
Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage will be your main focus to buff DPS. However, Jiwoo is also a Health-based character whose skills and abilities revolve around converting a percentage of her max Health into massive amounts of Water Damage.
Best Skills
Seo Jiwoo’s best skills are her Basic Skills Water Dragon Rush and Lightning Kick, the Special Skill Burst Punch, her Ultimate Skill Water Dragon Transformation Strike, and even her unique Passive Skill Water Dragon Training.
As a Health-based hunter in Solo Leveling: Arise, the majority of the Water Damage inflicted by her skills will be converted from a percentage of her max Health.

Jiwoo’s main damage dealers will be the Lightning Kick and Water Dragon Rush Basic Skills, which you should level up as soon as you can. Then you will want to focus on upgrading the Burst Punch Special QTE Skill as a core skill, and of course, her Ultimate the Water Dragon Transfomation Strike to deal insane damage.
However, Seo Jiwoo’s immense strength lies in her passive skills. The star of the show out of all her skills is her ability to use Water Dragon Training to reset her skills cooldown to endlessly launch Water attacks at her enemies.
