Silver Mane Baek Yoonho easily became the best boss killer in Solo Leveling: Arise since launch. So, here’s how to build the SSR hunter character to maximize his potential.
Solo Leveling: Arise players can get Baek Yoonho as an SSR hunter, but his Silver Mane version has proved to be the better of the two character choices. His Attack and Critical Damage-dealing strengths, which only increase as his Health decreases, have resulted in us ranking Silver Mane as an A-tier character to use.
However, to create the best build, you will need to target particular stats, skills, weapons, and Artifacts to equip and level them up throughout Arise.
Best stats
Attack, Critical Hit Damage, and Health are the best stats to increase and level up for Silver Mane Baek Yoonho in Solo Leveling: Arise.
Silver Mane has a range of Health-based skills and abilities that make his Health stat one of the main traits to target to boost his DPS. However, compared to other SSR hunters like Seo Jiwoo and Min Byung-Gu, he is not a full-on Health-based unit.
Attack, Critical Hit Damage, and even Critical Hit Rate are equally as important when buffing him, which makes the build a little more complex. However, leveling up all the skills, weapons, and Artifacts mentioned below in the guide will give you the best all-round build.
It will be worth adapting the combinations slightly, given the different enemies, Gates, and bosses you face in Solo Leveling: Arise. Additionally, the dynamic of your hunting team in regards to your character’s strengths and weaknesses will also play a factor.
Best skills
Silver Mane Baek Yoonho’s best skills are his Basic Attack Slaughter, Basic Skill Violent Approach, Special Skill Magic Beast’s Instinct, Ultimate skill Divinity, and his Passive Skills Skill Damage Increase and Bleed.
Slaughter is an impressive Basic Attack thanks to its Bleed effect and buffing capabilities, which let you keep consistently firing off high Dark Damage dealing attacks. This will be vital to level up straight away before moving on to the Violent Approach and Magic Beast’s Instinct skills to keep your DPS levels high.

Divinity is a no-nonsense Ultimate that simply deals an incredible amount of damage, which can be buffed even further the more your Health has taken a beating. If Baek is running low, be patient and let his Ultimate Power Gauge fill up before switching to him in your hunting team and dealing a fast fatal blow.
Silver Mane’s unique passive skills are key to racking up the damage with significant buffs by giving him a Skill Damage increase, as well as certain skills inflicting the Bleed effect, which can be buffed even further by attacking with follow-up skills.
| Skill | Skill type | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Slaughter | Basic Attack | Divinity is a simple Ultimate Skill that deals immense damage of 2557% of Silver Mane’s Attack as Dark Damage.His damage also rises by 10% for every 10% of Health he has lost. |
| Violent Approach | Basic Skill | Despite being Mana intensive compared to other skills and consuming 150 Mana points, it deals an insane 1164% of Silver Mane’s Attack as Dark Damage. |
| Magic Beast’s Instinct | Special Skill | This support skill awakens his magic beast instincts and deals 630% of his Attack damage as Dark Damage.When the skill is used it applies the Quick Attack: Beast Form effect for 15 seconds. This increases his Attack by 20% but also increases his damage taken by 10%. |
| Divinity | Ultimate Skill | Divinity is a simple Ultimate Skill that deals immense damage of 2557% of Silver Mane’s Attack as Dark Damage.His damage also raises by 10% for every 10% of Health he has lost. |
| Skill Damage Increase | Passive Skill | Skill Damage increases equal to 50% of his Health lost ratio during the fight. |
| Bleed | Passive Skill | When attacking with the Slaughter and Violent Approach skills, they will inflict the Bleed effect on targets when hit. Those enemies hit are dealt with damage equal to 1% of Silver Mane’s Health every 3 seconds for a duration of 30 seconds overall. Using Magic Beast’s Claws and Slaughter against opponents that are under the Bleed effect, will increase their skill damage by 20%. |
Best weapons
The best weapon for Silver Mane Baek Yoonho to equip in Solo Leveling: Arise is his own hunter-exclusive SSR weapon Howling White Tiger’s Soul.
| Weapon | Skills & abilities |
|---|---|
| Howling White Tiger’s Soul | Silver Mane Baek Yoonho exclusive weapon: Deals Dark Damage and increases Basic Attack by 8%.When a Basic Attack hits, an effect activates that takes damage equal to 0.5% of the user’s Health and then deals 0.2% of its Health as damage to targets. |
| Steel Dagger | Basic Attack damage increases by 6%. |
The Steel Dagger weapon is an adequate non-exclusive weapon replacement for Silver Mane if you have yet to still acquire the Howling White Tiger’s Soul. This is due to its high Attack damage boost compared to alternatives.
Best Artifacts
Toughness (Hard Leather) and Armed (Black Lion) are the best Armor Artifact sets, and Expert (Beast) and Berserker (Skeleton) are the best Jewelry Artifact sets to equip with Silver Mane Baek Yoonho.
When attacking bosses, the Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage buffs you get from equipping the Toughness Armor and Expert Jewelry sets are OP. Meanwhile, if you are tackling mobs or prefer a general Attack buff, then the Armed Armor set will also be a strong choice.
Choosing the Berserker Jewelry set is another strong choice if you want to focus on his unique Health abilities to give their damage-dealing buffs a further boost.

|---|---|---|
| Toughness (Hard Leather) | Critical Hit Rate increases by 8%. | Critical Hit Damage increases by 32%. |
