Sung Jinwoo can obtain 37 Player Weapons in his journey to become the world’s greatest hunter. These weapons vary in rarity, with the highest being Super Super Rare (SSR), followed by Super Rare (SR) and the common Rare (R).

The following table ranks all of Jinwoo’s exclusive weapons from S-tier (best) to D-tier (worst).

S-tier weapons for Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling: Arise

The Phoenix Soul is the premier weapon for Sung Jinwoo in Solo Leveling: Arise. Since its addition on July 10, it has consistently demonstrated superior strength compared to other weapons.

Phoenix Soul has established itself as Sung Jinwoo’s top weapon since its introduction.

All six S-tier weapons possess impressive power compared to the rest and are particularly effective against Gates and bosses.

Remarkably, West Wind, an SR weapon, also ranks as S-tier due to its formidable Wind Damage when properly leveled and advanced.

The Firebird Soul effect enhances Jinwoo’s Core Attack by 70% and can stack up to three times.
West Wind	As a damage-oriented weapon, West Wind excels at dealing significant Wind Damage, featuring sniper rifle capabilities and dual pistols. It stands as the second-best weapon available to Jinwoo, with its top skill, Secret Bullet, increasing damage by 75% on successful hits against isolated enemies.
Demonic Plum Flower Sword	This weapon offers high Dark Damage and Critical Hit Damage.
