Summary
- The worst hunters in Solo Leveling aren’t just weak; some are unreliable partners as well.

- Trauma, arrogance, and murderous tendencies hinder hunters like Lee Joohee and Kim Chul.
The popular series “Solo Leveling” has regained its status as a sensation, captivating anime enthusiasts with its stunning artwork, smooth animation, and exhilarating scenes. In the universe of this show, Hunters serve as the primary characters, as they are the sole beings capable of confronting the horrors emerging from the dungeons.
Throughout this captivating tale, I’ve come across an array of formidable hunters, but there are some who fall far short of the mark. The least impressive hunters in Solo Leveling, surprisingly, don’t necessarily lack power; they often falter due to their unpredictability and poor team dynamics, making them less than ideal companions during a dungeon raid.
8. Han Song-Yi
A Lot Of Teenage Angst Without Any Of The Talent
| Age | 18 |
|---|---|
| Class | E-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 1 |
Han Song-Yi is a friend of Sung Jinwoo’s sister and is a determined E-Class hunter who chose to leave school and take up the life of a hunter. As an E-Class, her powers are weaker compared to others, and so far, she hasn’t shown great combat abilities.
Han Song-Yi frequently found herself in situations requiring rescue by Jinwoo, and her contributions to any group were minimal. However, she served as an effective team member for forming a strike squad, which Jinwoo could leverage to advance his abilities; beyond this, her capabilities and utility were limited.
7. Park Beom Shik
A Tragic Family Man
| Age | N/A |
|---|---|
| Class | D-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 1 |
Park Beom Shik made an appearance as a D-Class hunter, seeking to acquire wealth for his loved ones. He joined forces with Jinwoo and others on a mission inside a twin dungeon, a place significant because it was there that the protagonist obtained his abilities within the narrative.
Park Beom Shik didn’t survive, tragically losing his life to a statue that left no trace of damage on it. His design suggested he may not have been physically prepared for the task. Although his position couldn’t be changed, improving his fitness might have made him more proficient in battle, similar to Song Chi-Yul who was skilled with swords.
6. Yoo Jinho
A Great Friend For Sung Jinwoo
| Age | 20-25 |
|---|---|
| Class | D-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 1 |
In the thrilling realm of “Solo Leveling,” I, Yoo Jinho, played a pivotal role in strengthening Jinwoo, as I was the one who figured out how to assemble a formidable strike team. I was a diligent and dedicated character, always eager to lend a helping hand. Regrettably, my sincere efforts weren’t enough to ensure survival in this ruthless world.
From a well-off background, I noticed Jinho could splurge on costly armor, which undeniably benefited him. However, during the Dungeon & Lizards arc where he and Jinwoo confronted the grim possibility of death at Dongsuk’s hands, his wealth offered little solace; it was only through Jinwoo’s aid that he was able to navigate those perilous circumstances.
5. Lee Minsung
Nothing More Than A Fragile Ego
| Age | NA |
|---|---|
| Class | A-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 18 |
In the world of Solo Leveling, a hunter’s power system may appear straightforward at first, as each hunter has a fixed rank that doesn’t change. However, it’s crucial to note that a hunter’s strength isn’t solely determined by their rank. Factors such as natural physical prowess, mental resilience, and numerous other qualities contribute significantly to a hunter’s might. Therefore, boasting a high rank doesn’t guarantee a hunter’s competence or effectiveness.
Lee Minsung, even holding a high rank, demonstrated early on his ineffectiveness as a hunter, prioritizing personal appearance over hunting skills. His ego, being quite delicate, suffered a significant blow when outshone by Jinwoo. During the Jeju arc, he struggled to handle challenges posed by ants and was noticeably intimidated by Woo Jinchul, who is his equal in rank.
4. Hwang Dongsuk
An Evil Lizard Character
| Age | NA |
|---|---|
| Class | C-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 5 |
Dongsuk Hwang is the elder brother of the highly-ranked character, Dongsoo. Despite being ranked C, he met his end at the hands of Sung Jinwoo during an operation where Dongsuk aimed to eliminate both Jinwoo and Jinho. Known for his proficient tanking abilities, Dongsuk’s ruthless personality often proved detrimental to him.
To put it simply, Dongsuk’s entire group was deeply immoral, with Dongsuk being the most corrupt among them. He frequently boasted about his brother’s power and never missed an opportunity to mention him. In the end, Dongsuk faced his just desserts, and unknowingly played a part in his brother’s fall from grace as well.
3. Lee Joohee
A Unrealized Talent Due To Trauma
| Age | 20-25 |
|---|---|
| Class | B-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 1 |
In the ruthless world of “Solo Leveling,” it’s challenging to thrive if one isn’t at their best. While it’s unfair to label Joohee as the ‘worst,’ her traumatic past has hindered her from reaching her full potential. As a result, in a dungeon raid, she might not be as effective as other characters.
Although she’s a formidable B-Class healer, she struggles significantly in combat situations due to her past traumatic experiences in the double dungeon. This trauma sometimes causes her to freeze up, and she lacks proficiency with certain advanced techniques that could enhance her performance during raids, such as Min Byung-Gyu’s cloaking ability. It’s challenging to acknowledge, but she is often one of the least effective hunters in Solo Leveling.
2. Kang Taeshik
An Unrepentant Killer
| Age | NA |
|---|---|
| Class | B-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 3 |
Characters who have a distaste for slaying monsters, even those resembling humans, present a unique dilemma. For instance, Kang Taeshik, a mercenary and a hunter notorious for his unsavory reputation during raids, exemplifies such a conflict. In simpler terms, these characters struggle with the morality of hunting monsters when they might prefer to protect humans instead.
I, an observer, found it troubling that Taeshik was employed by the Hunters Association, as it seemingly legitimized his questionable activities. Despite his impressive strength, which placed him among the top B-Rank hunters (arguably even the strongest), his propensity for violence earned him a reputation as one of the most ruthless hunters in Solo Leveling.
1. Kim Chul
At Least He Became Useful As A Shadow
| Age | NA |
|---|---|
| Class | A-Rank |
| Anime Debut | Episode 13 |
During the Red Gate incident, Kim Chul served as the leader of a hunting team. He was an influential, high-ranking hunter, holding an A-Rank status. However, his poor character and haughty attitude eventually resulted in the tragic loss of his team members, culminating in his own downfall.
Kim displayed courage in battle but revealed an unsavory trait, as he was prepared to sacrifice others for his own survival. When his attempts to retreat backfired and he discovered that Jinwoo’s group was prospering instead, it provoked anger within him, which seems strange given he abandoned them to perish. He was a despicable character, and few mourned his demise.
