Solo Leveling: ARISE has a stat-based upgrade system unique to the main character, Sung Jinwoo. Like the manhwa, Jinwoo gets five stat points for each level up, which you are free to assign to any of your preferred stats.
A controllable stat allocation system gives you the freedom to play around with fun builds, but this guide will show you the best way to allocate Jinwoo's stats to get the most out of his damage potential.
Best Jinwoo stats to allocate points in Solo Leveling Arise
Stat allocation is a mechanic unique to Sung Jinwoo, so you won't have to worry about it for any other character in the game. You get five stat points every time you level up, and they can be distributed across the following stats:
| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| strength | Increases flat Attack. |
| Vitality | Increases HP and Defense. |
| skill | Increases Critical Hit Damage and Critical Hit Damage. |
| Intelligence | Increases MP and Cooldown Reduction. |
| perception | Increases Accuracy, which increases the minimum damage dealt against enemies. |
Jinwoo's stats can be reset for Gold so you can change them at any time during the game. Your priorities will change a lot depending on his weapons and Artifactswhich will determine the trajectory of your stat allocation.
Early Game Stat Distribution Priority
- Perception (at least 80% Accuracy)
- strength
In the early game, you won't have powerful weapons and Artifacts to make up for Jinwoo's stats, so it's best to just aim for a decent amount of Accuracy and then dump the rest of the stats into Strength. I didn't find it helpful to target Agility as it didn't make a huge difference early in the game where your main goal is to rush through the Main Story to unlock as much content as possible.
Late Game State Distribution Priority
- Perception (up to 99% Accuracy only)
- Dexterity (only up to 50% Critical Hit)
- strength
- Intelligence
As you progress and collect weapons and Artifacts, your goal should be cap Accuracy and Critical Hit before discarding most of Jinwoo's stats to Strength. This is because Attack is very easy to get from weapons and Artifacts, so the Strength stat won't make a noticeable difference in your overall numbers. Once you are comfortable with Jinwoo's damage output, you can start adding some Intelligence mainly for Cooldown Reduction.
You can click on the magnifying glass to the right of Jinwoo's name to get an overview of his stat details, which break down the percentage values for Accuracy and Critical Hit. Be sure to base your Perception and Agility inputs based on the percentages on this screen!
How Accuracy works in Solo Leveling ARISE
Accuracy increases whenever you raise Jinwoo's Perception stat. On paper, it increases the minimum damage dealt against enemies, so it allows Jinwoo deal damage closer to the higher end of its minimum damage range. For example, if Jinwoo's minimum damage range is between 1,000 and 2,000, a higher Accuracy will allow him to deal closer to 2,000 with each hit. However, it does not affect his maximum damage, which is affected by how much he can get Critical Hits, which is why the Agility stat is also so important.
How to assign Jinwoo's stats in Solo Leveling ARISE
In the early game, add your stats instantly get a quick boost in power. Remember you can reset your stats at any time for Gold. Once you start maxing out your weapons and rolling for Artifacts with good substats, equip all your gear before resetting Jinwoo's statsthen assign based on what he is missing from his kit. Doing so will prevent you from exceeding the maximum possible values for certain stats (ie 99% Perception, 50% Critical Hit Rate), which will be wasteful.
Stats will also start to lose their value as you continue to level up and increase Jinwoo's multipliers, so you'll need to keep optimizing them along with your gear over time. The most important point is to balance stats after gear, as weapons and Artifacts are RNG based, while Jinwoo's stat allocation is completely within your control.
