Summary
Solo Leveling:ARISErequires players to have a good idea of how elements work. In order to deal the highest damage possible, players have to know the elemental weaknesses of their enemies, and which element to pick up before entering a dungeon.
Among all elements in the game,theDark elementis one of the most powerful, a ndworks well in most of the stages in the game. While the game only launched a few weeks ago, there are not many characters who utilize the Dark element. Of the select few Dark characters that are available in the game as of the time of writing, this list ranks them to help players pick the best Dark character for their team.
5Hwang Dongsuk
A Tank That Does More Than Required
Hwang Dongsukis an impressive unit in the game who can do three crucial things: withstand enemy attacks, deal damage to enemies, and break enemy shields. Because Dongsuk scales with max HP, he has enough health to eat enemy attacks.His basic attack can also increase his max HPtemporarily, which acts as a makeshift healing technique.
Additionally, Hwang Dongsuk has a good break effect on his skills, which can destroy enemy shields quickly. His support and ultimate skill can also stun the enemy, allowing players to deal damage safely. Hwang Dongsuk does more for players than just performing his role as a tank and, for his SR rarity, players should give him a shot to see his true powers on the battlefield.
4Kang Taeshik
Bleed Is Overpowered
The DoT effects inSolo Leveling:ARISEare crazy strong, and bleed is the strongest one among them. Any character that can apply the bleed effect is going to be pretty strong, which is the case withKang Taeshik, a Dark Assassin. Kang is a straightforward character who runs straight for enemies with daggers in hand.
Kang Taeshik’s damage output, with the help of the bleed effect, even surpasses a few SSR characters, putting him in a whole other league for a SR character. Since dupes are easier to obtain for SR characters, Kang Taeshik can easily be made stronger by players.
Kang applies bleed with his support skilland passive ability, which makes him a superb option for players to pair him up with other characters who use DoT effects. However, Kang Taeshik is not an option against world bosses or enemies, to which the bleed effect cannot be applied, restricting him to specific team compositions only.
3Lim Tae Gyu
Great Single Target DPS
The Dark SSR RangerLim Tae Gyuhas excellent damage output and, with his ranged abilities that keeps him away from the enemies, he makes for a really strong Dark character for players in the game. Lim Tae Gyu has the break effect on a few of his skills, granting him the power to shred enemy shields down to nothing. Whenever Tae Gyu uses his support skill, his team members get their core attack damage increased by 15% for 15 seconds.
His ultimate skill is the showstopper,where he goes into sniper modeand fires up to eight projectiles in quick succession, dealing massive damage. This ability makes him really useful in boss fights. His passive ability increases his skill damage, making him a solid option for players looking for a single target DPS.
2Lee Bora
Best Dark Support
Lee Borais a Dark Mage SSR unit inSolo Leveling:ARISEwho summons phantom foxes to fight monstersin the game’s magical dungeons. Lee Bora is a perfect fit in Dark composition teams, where she acts as a primary support, buffing the Dark damage of party members. Her summons allows her to do solid passive damage over time.
This summoning mage can cast an Enhancement Circle zone that can remove any Debuff zone in the area. Characters standing in this circle get their Dark damage increased by 10%, and their Magic Arrows become stronger. Lee Bora can cast charm with her passive and special skills, which increases the damage taken by the enemies.
Her ability to cleanse debuffs from the team, increase the damage taken by enemies, provide off-field support to party members, and increase the team’s Dark damage, make her one of the best Dark-element characters in the game, and a great choice for any Dark team composition.
1Silver Mane
A True Battle Beast
Baek Yoonho’s transformed form,Silver Mane, is a dangerous alter ego that ignores the limits of a normal hunter. Silver Mane boasts an extremely aggressive playstylewhere he gets stronger as his HP decreases. This fighter-style SSR character is a true berserker, and doesn’t stop until either he or his enemy dies.
Scaling with the user’s attack, Silver Mane has insane attack power, even without using his ultimate skill, as he goes on the offense ripping through enemies and bosses alike. When using Extreme Attack : Beast Form, Silver Mane’s damage output and attack speed increase by 30%, but he takes increased damage from enemies. The effect also deals continuous damage based off his current HP.
Even his support skill plays the same way as his basic skill, where he can deal more damage to foes at a cost of increased damage taken. His ultimate skill increases the user’s damage by 10% for every 10% of HP that they’ve lost. Silver Mane’s passive ability shows his true form, where his skill damage increases drastically according to his reduced HP ratio. Furthermore, Silver Mane inflicts bleed on enemies, who then take increased damage from his skills. Silver Mane is a true beast who doesn’t stop until the work is done. Players who cannot dodge efficiently in the game might not be able to use him properly, but once they learn how to properly utilize this character, Silver Mane is almost unstoppable against any hostile monster.
