My Solo Leveling ARISE Shadow Tier List ranks every Shadow from best to worst so you know which to enlist.
On launch, Solo Leveling ARISE has 5 Army of Shadows characters to select which helps wean down the choices. There’s a silver lining here since you won’t be able to access the Shadows until completing Chapter 9 and the Sung Jinwoo job change quest. So having a few options gives you time to catch up!
Check out Solo Leveling ARISE over on its Official Website or start downloading it from the App Store. I also created a Solo Leveling ARISE Tier List. Or, how about our Solo Leveling Arise Weapons Tier List?
Solo Leveling ARISE Shadow Tier List (June 2024)
Let’s get into the rankings.
S-Tier
OP! These Shadows are the absolute best options in the game for you to upgrade and utilize.
- His First Shadow – Igris
- Tusk (not yet available but we are certain about his placement!)
A-Tier
Good, just not the absolute best. You can comfortably use these Shadows and succeed, so if you don’t have access to those in S-Tier, you can work on upgrading these in A-Tier and make do.
- Musclebound Menace – Iron
- Battlefield of Time – Baruka
B-Tier
Those in this tier are not much more than average performers. They’re decent in their respect, not too bad nor too good. They offer some niche uses.
- Leader of The Snowy Mountain – Tank
C-Tier
Weak, but not the absolute worst. They offer some niche uses but overall I’d recommend upgrading to a better tier Shadow.
- There are no C-Tier Shadows currently! Check back soon for more rankings.
D-Tier
The worst of the worst. These Shadows should remain in the Shadows, hidden and scolded for their weak performance.
- There are no D-Tier Shadows currently! At least all your options are better than the absolute worst.
