Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive puts a lot of focus on Sung Jinwoo as the series' main protagonist, and you can build him as per the meta to make it easier for you to clear all the content.
There are four archetypes to pick from, and all of them can be effective if you use the correct build. However, this guide will discuss a specific build that I have been enjoying a lot, and explain how to set it up in Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive.

Out of the game's four classes, Duelist feels like the strongest option. Its attacks, when used right, can shred single-target enemies. However, the Duelist class is tough to master since you'll have to be good with your evasions. I instead went with the Ruler class.
The Ruler class is arguably the most entertaining choice, and you can clear all the content on your own. The Ruler class is also the only lore-correct option as you use magic to raise Shadows to do your bidding.
Here's how I have been personally distributing my stats.
| Category | Priority | Split |
|---|---|---|
| Attack Power | Mid | 30% |
| Defense | High | 40% |
| Magic Power | High | 45% |
| Speed | Low/Ignorable | 5% |
If you're going for the Ruler class, you can almost ignore Speed. You won't have to move much on the field, as you won't be fighting alone. Investing in Magic Power is extremely important. It's your primary damage stat since almost all the abilities will scale accordingly.

You can also go for equal weightage for Attack Power and Defense. The key aspect is not to overspend on either area since you'll want to have a good balance between the two. Moreover, your key attack stat for the Ruler class isn't Attack Power (it's Magic Power, where you'll be investing most of your points).
Best skills
Here's my list of the best skills to pick if you're going with the Ruler class.
- Sustain Efficiency is vital when starting, as it will automatically boost your attack as long as your HP is above 80%. Keep the distance to avoid taking excess damage, and the additional attack will help you to eliminate enemies quickly.
- Gravity Drain: A Ruler build relies heavily on the Power Gauge, and Gravity Drain enhances its recovery rate.
- Shadow Exchange: Since this build has low emphasis on mobility, having Shadow Exchange allows you to reposition quickly.
Finally, use Blessing Stones that will improve your Magic Power and Defense. You can also go for options that reduce the cooldown time of your skills, as it's essential for casting the Shadows.
