  • Exceptional characters like Song Chi-Yul, Go Gunhee, & Sung Jinwoo showcase extraordinary adaptability.

In the world of Solo Leveling, hunters have diverse roles depending on their expertise, class, and position.

Regardless of rank, skilled hunters with unique abilities are constantly sought after due to their versatility and strength.

Consequently, those who excel as multi-tasking hunters are highly valued by influential guilds that want to recruit individuals capable of performing various duties. Throughout the series, numerous characters exhibit remarkable flexibility, swiftly adapting to different roles or employing diverse abilities to aid their teammates. Although all of them possess exceptional skills, it could be argued that these seven stand out as the most versatile hunters in Solo Leveling.

7. Song Chi-Yul

Survivor Of Double Dungeon Disaster

  • Anime Debut: Episode 1
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 2
  • Class: Mage

Song Chi-Yul, though not as powerfully gifted as other hunters on this list, showcases an impressive versatility. Ranked C in the mage class, he has honed his fire magic abilities to an exceptional level. Beyond his prowess with fire magic, he is also a skilled swordsman capable of matching the abilities of more formidable hunters.

I’d like to spend what I have left contributing to society.

As an observer, I’ve witnessed Song Chi-Yul’s prowess as a hunter, both with his mastery of fire magic and his impressive swordsmanship. His leadership skills have been evident, particularly in guiding inexperienced hunters through lower-ranked gates. In the Dungeon & Prisoners arc, when Kang Taeshik committed atrocities against prisoners and fellow hunters, Song Chi-Yul valiantly took a stand against him. Though Taeshik is an assassin-class hunter, Song gave him a formidable fight, relying largely on his swordsmanship. This is quite remarkable, given that Song is a mage-class hunter, specializing in fire magic.

6. Go Gunhee

Japan’s Oldest Hunter

  • Anime Debut: Episode 1
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 78
  • Class: N/A

The leader of the Korean Hunters Guild, Go Gunhee – a former hunter – remains passionately dedicated to battling magical creatures despite his advancing age. His frequent lamentations about his aching body serve as testament to his unwavering dedication as a hunter.

One day, you may find yourself faced with a choice to make. When that time arrives, I encourage you to choose a path that aligns with our shared humanity.

Despite retiring prior to the primary events in Solo Leveling, Gunhee’s imposing demeanor and influence continue to command respect among younger hunters. Even at an advanced age, he can move with astonishing swiftness and boasts extraordinary strength. Moreover, he has the ability to manipulate objects mentally, a power potent enough to disarm powerful magic beasts when fully utilized. Remarkably, Go also possesses Spiritual Body Manifestation, a highly rare skill typically wielded by elite hunters.

5. Min Byung-Gyu

S-Rank Healer

  • Anime Debut: Episode 1
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 109
  • Class: Healer

Min Byung-Gyu is a skilled S-ranked healer, playing crucial roles in various critical operations. His abilities in healing spells are impressive, and he’s shown the capacity to amplify the powers of his teammates as well.

Min Byung-Gyu is not just a remarkable healer, but also a highly respected A-rank fighter who can hold his own against powerful magical beasts. During the third raid on Jeju Island, he demonstrated this ability by battling evolved ants on the island. Beyond tending to the wounds of his fellow hunters, Min Byung-Gyu displayed an exceptional talent for protecting them in combat, a skill that very few hunters possess.

4. Liu Zhigang

China’s 7-Star Hunter

  • Anime Debut: Yet to Make a Debut
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 185
  • Class: Fighter

Liu Zhigang ranks as the second strongest National Level Hunter, following Thomas Andre. As a combat-focused hunter, he excels in close-quarters fighting and employs a ruthless strategy. Given his expertise, Zhigang primarily uses twin swords in battle, reflecting his mastery of the blade.

It’s unusual for Liu, like other top-tier Hunters, to have telekinetic powers, a skill not commonly associated with fighter-class Hunters. Similarly, Zhigang, being a National Level Hunter, can manifest a Spiritual Body, a characteristic shared among the elite. During the arc on Jeju Island, as Sung Jinwoo engages in combat, China’s 7-Star Hunter stands ready to eliminate any ants threatening his homeland. He brutally eliminates each ant wave in a manner typical of fighter-class Hunters. However, what sets Liu apart is his unique ability to manipulate objects using only his mind. Apart from Sung Il-Hwan and Go Gunhee, this power is rarely bestowed upon National-level Hunters.

3. Thomas Andre

Greatest National Level Hunter

  • Anime Debut: Episode 21
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 125
  • Class: Tanker

Thomas Andre is among the five hunters that vanquished the dragon Kamish. Not surprisingly, he is highly sought after by many and is renowned as one of the strongest hunters globally, a reputation that was unchallenged until Jinwoo regained his powers.

Andre possesses extraordinary defensive abilities, making him a formidable tank, but surprisingly, he’s also skilled in hand-to-hand combat. His strength is superhuman, even overpowering top fighter-class hunters globally. During the International Guild Conference arc, when Thomas faces Sung Jinwoo, Andre showcases an unexpected skill – Capture, a telekinetic power that typically isn’t available to his class of hunter. Moreover, he seems to excel in close-quarter combat. Despite losing the fight, Andre underscores the fact that his powers surpass those of any other hunter within his class, hinting at hidden talents or abilities.

2. Baek Yonhoo

White Tiger Guild’s Leader

  • Anime Debut: Episode 1
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 44
  • Class: Fighter

Among a small number of adventurers, Baek Yonhoo stands out as one who’s managed to survive two trips to Jeju Island – no easy feat! His years of expertise make him a skillful warrior, well-equipped to tackle even the most challenging adversaries.

I used to feel that one person alone couldn’t bring an end to a conflict. Yet, the latest occurrences have me doubting my previous beliefs. Keep your head high, Mr. Sung. It seems you managed to resolve this calamity on your own.

I often find myself marveling at Baek, one of the rare few hunters in this series who possesses the ability to morph into a humanoid monster. His remarkable physical power and unyielding stamina make him formidable in human form, yet he can effortlessly transition to his beast form when the situation calls for it. What sets Baek apart is his adaptability; most hunters pale in comparison. His versatile skillset is almost unique, making it difficult for others to emulate.

1. Sung Jinwoo

Korea’s Best Hunter

  • Anime Debut: Episode 1
  • Webnovel Debut: Chapter 1
  • Class: Mage

Initially considered humanity’s feeblest hunter, Sung Jinwoo underwent an extraordinary transformation after his revival. Climbing up the ranks, he eventually secured a place among Korea’s top 10 elite S-rank hunters. Despite being a mage, Jinwoo possesses abilities that are generally uncharacteristic of mages.

To illustrate, consider the skill of stealth, a key ability for an assassin-style hunter like Jinwoo. His mastery over this skill is exceptional, both in precision and effectiveness. His agile dagger techniques often outshine those of other fighter-class hunters, while his defensive strategies surpass many tankers. Moreover, Jinwoo’s healing abilities are remarkable; he can mend injuries that seem fatal or diseases that are life-threatening by using potions. In dire situations, Jinwoo possesses the unique ability to extract shadows from defeated adversaries and incorporate them into his forces. Though these shadows aren’t skills that Jinwoo utilizes directly, they follow his orders, making him one of the most adaptable hunters in Solo Leveling.
