The Ultimate Ranking of A-Level Hunters in Solo Leveling Revealed!

Summary

A-rank hunters are frontline defenders against dungeon creatures.
Majority lack S-rank hunter ego, making them dependable.
A-rank hunters Lee Bora and Gina demonstrate powerful magical abilities.

In this universe, there exists a world teeming with extraordinarily potent beings, excluding Jinwoo Sung. As mana permeates humanity, it triggers transformations known as awakenings, enhancing their physical abilities and bestowing them with unique talents. Those who undergo such transformations become hunters, venturing into the randomly appearing dungeons scattered worldwide. These hunters are categorized into various ranks, ranging from E to S, with S-rank being the elite few, while A-rank is more prevalent, yet a substantial power difference persists.

Top-tier Hunters serve as the first line of protection against fearsome beasts that dwell within dungeons and occasionally invade our world. Unlike S-Rank Hunters who often exhibit arrogance and a god complex, many A-rankers maintain a more humble and realistic outlook. They are still recognized as some of the world’s mightiest beings, demonstrating remarkable physical prowess and magical skills.

8. Lee Minsung

A Hunter In Rank Only

First Appearance: Episode 18

More recently, Lee Minsung appeared in the “Solo Leveling” anime. It was expected that he would be promoted to an A-rank hunter, but this announcement was overshadowed by the news of Sung Jinwoo being designated as the next S-rank hunter. Proud and self-centered, Minsung became furious, only for his moment in the spotlight to be usurped, as yesterday’s headlines now focus on someone else’s rise to fame instead.

In the series Solo Leveling, character Lee Minsung isn’t heavily featured, and his fighting skills are debatable. The sole battle scene involving Lee Minsung occurs during the Jiju Island raid, where he is assigned to guard the coastal border alongside other high-ranked hunters. When a horde of red ants rushes towards the ship he’s on, he becomes paralyzed with fear and struggles significantly in combat. This portrayal underscores his lack of skill, making him one of the weaker A-rank hunters in the series.

7. Hanekawa

Above Average Hand-to-Hand Abilities

First Appearance: Episode 20

In the anime “Solo Leveling,” Hanekawa is a high-tier hunter hailing from Japan, part of the Drawn Sword guild. She debuted in episode twenty, alongside top-ranked hunter Goto Ryuji, serving as his interpreter. Later on in the manga, she takes part in training sessions and showcases her combat skills against Jongsoo. Despite displaying powerful strikes and reasonable speed, Hanekawa struggles to match her South Korean counterpart and is swiftly defeated. It’s plausible that her disadvantage lies in experience, opening up possibilities for her growth in the future.

6. Lee Bora

A Strong Support Mage

First Appearance: Episode 6

Lee Bora is a part of the Hunters guild and made her appearance in episode six of Solo Leveling. She’s additionally a member of Son Kihoon’s Raid Party, as seen in episode seventeen. As a mage-type Hunter, Lee Bora demonstrates exceptional skill in ranged support magic and boasts powerful magical capabilities, such as the ability to redirect enemies. With her teammates and assistance from Sung Jinwoo, she managed to hold her own against High Orcs when they were trapped in an A-rank dungeon. Although they would typically have been overpowered, Lee Bora did a commendable job of safeguarding her group and herself.

5. Gina

A Power Mage With A Multitude Of Spells

First Appearance: Episode 17

In addition to Son Kihoon’s raid team, Gina is included. She found herself trapped alongside Son Kihoon at the gate with the High Orcs, as depicted in episode seventeen of Solo Leveling. Much like Lee Bora, Gina belongs to the mage-class hunters and demonstrates exceptional prowess in offensive magic. In a remarkable display, she eliminated an entire pack of hounds using just one spell. During combat with the High Orcs, she showcased her ability to obliterate one with a potent fire spell, which her fellow mages could not match. Regrettably, when facing the leader of the High Orcs, Gina’s magical abilities fell short and she proved ineffective.

4. Seo Jiwoo

A Vicious Hand-to-Hand Fighter

First Appearance: Episode 17

In the seventeenth episode of “Solo Leveling,” I found myself captivated by the remarkable presence of Seo Jiwoo. Her character quickly became a favorite among fans, largely due to her exceptional abilities within the series. Much like a skilled monk, Seo Jiwoo is a hunter who specializes in close combat, delivering strikes that are both powerful and devastatingly effective. In a surprising turn of events, she even managed to stun a High Orc single-handedly, potentially winning the fight under fairer circumstances. Unfortunately, her skills were put to the test when she was confronted by numerous opponents, ultimately leading to her being caught off guard by an orc, demonstrating that she struggles when facing more than one adversary at once.

3. Son Kihoon

Versatile In Tanking And Attacking

First Appearance: Episode 17

Son Kihoon, a respected member of the Hunters Guild, heads a group of top-tier A-rank hunters, including Sung Jinwoo, as they delve into the lair of formidable high orcs. Known for his modesty and esteem among his fellow hunters, Son Kihoon cuts an impressive figure in their ranks.

He was depicted as someone who accumulated a remarkable degree of knowledge and experience, which enabled him to excel as a leader. In his role as a tanker-class hunter, Kihoon frequently found himself in the thick of combat, often facing off against adversaries head-on, putting himself at risk. Furthermore, it was evident that he was proficient in dealing damage when confronting sounds and high orcs.

2. Kim Chul

Able To Withstand An Attack From Ice Bears

First Appearance: Episode 13

In the thirteenth installment of Solo Leveling, I find myself observing a towering figure, none other than Kim Chul, who takes center stage as the leader of a hunting party. This individual belongs to the White Tiger guild, a renowned organization in this world of hunters. As I watch him, it becomes apparent that his robust physique is tailor-made for the tanker-class, a role he carries out with an air of natural competence.

As they passed through the gate prior to it turning red, he appeared to be a highly capable commander. However, once the challenge of the dungeon escalated, he abandoned the less strong members. Despite holding his own against ice bears in the reg gate dungeon, Ki Chul nearly succumbed and lost his entire group.

1. Woo Jin-Chul

Blocked Two Blows From S Rank Hunters

First Appearance: Episode 1

Woo Jin-Chul holds the prestigious rank of A-level hunter within the Korean Hunters Association, where he also serves as chief inspector. In the popular series Solo Leveling, Woo Jin-Chul often interacts with Sung Jinwoo, demonstrating a complex relationship between them. Despite not displaying his combat prowess at present, Woo Jin-Chul exudes an intimidating presence that makes fellow A-rank hunters pause before challenging him. Respect is earned and returned by this influential figure. An example of his fighting skills can be seen when he successfully deflected attacks from S-rank hunters Baek Yoonhoo and Huang Dong-Su, highlighting his formidable status as a combatant among the hunter class.
