Solo Leveling: ARISE - Why you should play this newly updated action game to end the year with a bang
Netmarble has launched the latest version update within Solo Leveling: ARISE, offering a plethora of new content for you to sink your teeth into this holiday season. In particular, you can discover more about Chapters 21-23 of the Main Story with new Jeju Island Raid content, along with boosted combat power for Sung Jinwoo himself. And if that alone doesn't lure you in, here are three more compelling reasons that will – both newcomers and veteran players will find Solo Leveling: ARISE, boosted with its grand Ver 3.0 Update and a series of events with rich rewards, an exciting, eye-catching game to enjoy!
Test the limits of your combat prowess
With the massive Jeju Island Raid content in the Ver 3.0 Update, you can flex Jinwoo's skills up to Lv. 100 along with an expanded Bond Reward system. This also means an extra Gate Difficulty plus more Activity Funds.
Now, if you happen to reach certain conditions, you can opt for the new Master of the Abyss Job Change provided you've also cleared the Jeju Island Story. Take on the new Job Change Dungeon and enjoy an expanded slot for Survival Blessing Stone. Best of all, you can wield Sung Jinwoo's new weapon - the Gold-tailed Fox (SSR Light Element).
Then of course there’s the fact that Jeju Island Raid offers a thrilling story episode which appeared in the original series. In this chapter of the Main Story, players will join forces with a group of elite Hunters and the mighty Army of Shadows as they take on one of the strongest bosses in the series - the Ant King. This formidable humanoid ant boasts high intelligence and a powerful armored exoskeleton, presenting a daunting challenge for even the bravest adventurers.
Harness the power of the sun
A new Hunter is also joining the fray - Shimizu Akari. This SSR light-type healer deals devastating damage with her Strike of Judgment basic attack alone, complemented by her Light of Dawn Basic Skill that sets your axe on fire to strike your foes in a blaze of fury. Her Ultimate Skill, on the other hand, will draw foes together using her Guiding Light and can even cast a solar eclipse. As a healer with solar-themed abilities, Shimizu will power up your team with her offensive and defensive capabilities and powerful buffs for Light element teammates.
There's also a Shimizu Akari Growth Tournament which runs until January 16th to coincide with the new Hunter’s debut - power her up and grab Popular Rate Up Hunter’s Exclusive Weapon Selection Chest as a reward until January 16th.
Then, ramp up your entire party's Attack and Critical Hit damage with the New Shadow Beru! Beru, carving out a standing-out position with its healing-related skills, is the long-awaited Shadow from the original work and is expected to become one of the most beloved Shadows.
The Shadow Promotion has received new update as well – you can now increase 1 tier in the Shadow to “General” rank, which also grants new skills for the existing Shadows when promoted.
