Highlights
- Sung Jin-Woo obtains powerful weapons from killing monsters, giving him an advantage over other hunters.
- Each weapon in Solo Leveling has unique effects and abilities that make them formidable against different types of enemies.
- Some weapons, like Kamish’s Wrath, are among the strongest magical weapons in the world and can even be used to defeat powerful adversaries like the Monarchs.
The Solo Leveling series portrays hunters who fight monsters and monarchs to protect their world from creatures that seek to take over. In their many battles, some hunters use weapons, while others use their bare fists. Even with the weapons they use, some hunters can only deal minimal damage to their adversaries. As the most powerful weapons are crafted from the remains of monsters, they are incredibly expensive.
However, for Sung Jin-Woo, who can simply obtain weapons by killing monsters like in a video game, gathering weapons is much easier, and his weapons are of better quality than those that are generally offered to most. As weapons are created from the remains of various monsters, not all weapons are created equal, and some stand above the others.
7 Kasaka’s Venom Fang
The Additional Effects Make It A Threat
In terms of pure attacking power, Kasaka’s Venom Fang isn’t the most powerful of weapons. However, its effects—Bleed and Paralyze—make it very capable of taking down strong enemies. Sung Jin-Woo obtained the dagger after taking down the blue Venom-Fanged Kasaka, a large cobra that served as the boss of the Hapjeong Subway dungeon.
The dagger from Kasaka’s loot gives Sung Jin-Woo an attack power of +25; however, its paralyzing effect makes a target either stop moving entirely or move slower. If its bleed effect is activated upon striking a target, the target would lose 1% of its health every second as long as the bleed is in effect.
6 Knight Killer
The Bonus It Provides Against Armored Enemies Makes It Formidable
Sung Jin-Woo obtained many of his weapons by killing monsters; however, for Knight Killer, that wasn’t the case. Sung Jin-Woo obtained Knight Killer from the system shop for 2,800,000 gold. As a B-ranked dagger, this weapon provided Sung Jin-Woo with an attack power of +75.
While the dagger is not one of the most powerful weapons, as its name suggests, it is effective against knights, granting an additional 25+ attack power when used against armored opponents. Sung Jin-Woo bought Knight Killer from the shop during his job change quest dungeon. As his former dagger could barely pierce through his opponent’s armor, Knight Killer became the perfect substitute.
5 Baruka’s Daggers
Additional Agility And Attack Power In One Weapon
After surviving a red gate, Sung Jin-Woo faced Baruka, an ice elf. Despite being capable of defeating Rank B hunters at that time, Sung Jin-Woo had to team up with his shadow soldiers to defeat Baruka. Upon obtaining Baruka’s daggers, Sung Jin-Woo used them for a long time, up until the Demon Castle’s 100th floor.
Moreover, these daggers were what he used to defeat the Demon King Baran, showing how sturdy they are. Although the daggers are Rank A daggers, they certainly pack a punch. Moreover, apart from attacking power, the daggers also boost the user’s agility as they are infused with magic that reduces the user’s weight. Thereby, the daggers grant Sung Jin-Woo not just power, but speed too.
4 Demon King’s Daggers
They Possess The Essence Of The Demon King’s Energy
The Demon King’s daggers are the weapons that Sung Jin-Woo used up until he obtained Kamish’s daggers from Thomas Andre. He gained the daggers after defeating the Demon King Baran, and with their attack power of +220, they were his most powerful weapons at that time.
As S-rank daggers, they are undoubtedly among the most powerful weapons in Sung Jin-Woo’s arsenal; however, while they could cut through just about anything and were effective against normal S-rank hunters, for national-level hunters like Thomas Andre and the Monarchs, the daggers couldn’t harm them, and kept Sung Jin-Woo at a disadvantage when he used them against enemies of that level.
3 Orb Of Avarice
Doubling A Mage’s Destructive Power Shows Its Capabilities
The Orb of Avarice is one of the various drops that Sung Jin-Woo obtained after killing Vulcan, the ruler of the lower floors in the Demon Castle. The orb is greatly efficient for a magical-type hunter, as it doubles its user’s magic damage.
While this is merely an item, in the hands of Sung Jin-Woo and Tusk, whom he eventually gives the Orb to, it serves as a great weapon. With the Orb of Avarice in the hands of an accomplished mage (Tusk), few sorcerers, and even dragons, could hope to compete with Tusk in terms of firepower. Moreover, most crafted items or weapons can only multiply a user’s target by about 40–50%. As the orb offers a 100% increase, its power is evident for all to see.
2 Demon King’s Longsword
The Lightning Effect Makes It Extra Strong
On the Demon Castle’s 100th floor, Sung Jin-Woo faced the magical copy of Baran, the Monarch of White Flames. After the tough battle that ensued between them, Sung Jin-Woo gained the Demon King’s Longsword as one of the items that were dropped. With its attack of 350, the Longsword is one of the strongest weapons in Sung Jin-Woo’s arsenal.
Despite its immense attack, the Longsword also offers a Storm of White Flames effect, which spreads lightning whenever and wherever it is swung. As Sung Jin-Woo’s main weapon is a dagger, he eventually gave the Longsword to Igris to use as his main weapon, and Igris was more than capable of contending against S-Class-ranked hunters with it.
1 Kamish’s Wrath
An Additional Attack Power Of 1500+ Makes It Rank Far Above Average S-Rank Weapons
These daggers, crafted from humanity’s worst disaster, the dragon Kamish, are among the strongest magical weapons in the world, if not the strongest. The daggers were crafted from Kamish’s strongest and largest tooth, which Thomas Andre kept as a souvenir after the dragon was defeated.
In comparison to other weapons portrayed in the series, Kamish’s Wrath is simply top-tier, as Sung Jin-Woo was able to stab and kill various Monarchs with it. Unfortunately, the daggers did not work on Antares, as they were crafted from a dragon, and Antares is the King of Dragons. Even then, before obtaining Ashborn’s full legacy, Kamish’s Wrath played a pivotal role in Sung Jin-Woo being able to injure and kill the Monarchs.
