So, if you’re thinking of adding him to your lineup, it might be worth checking out our Solo Leveling: Arise tier list first to see how he fits into the current roster.
Moving on, the Workshop of Brilliant Light: Arena of Madness now includes a Hard difficulty option for those who feel the original version wasn’t punishing enough. Artifact progression has also been extended with new tier levels (115 and 120), alongside four new sets including The Architect’s Blue Poison, Glorious Arrogance, Kamish’s Obsession, and Noble Flesh.
Dungeon content has been streamlined as well. Instance Dungeons and Encore Missions have now been merged into a single mode called Unstable Dungeon, which should make navigating the daily grind a bit more straightforward.
There’s also a new guild boss to deal with. Manticore, a water-element monster, joins the lineup as a challenge for coordinated guild play. Meanwhile, you can recruit a new shadow ally, Brute, a transformed version of the Giant Butcher Hars who boosts Water Damage for the entire team through his leader effect.
Solo Leveling: Arise’s story also continues with the addition of Chapters 30 and 31, available in both Hard and Reverse Hard modes.
