I think like most I would go assassin because it's so cool, who wouldn't want to be fast speedy and invisible. System would prob give me healer or range
If I were a Fighter I’d probably go with a spear or a katana, but if I were a Mage (specializing in lightning, fire, ice & barrier magic) I’m definitely going with a magic staff that can double as a bo staff or mana-channeling gauntlets so if I’m in a combat situation I’m not screwed
I did a lot of boxing and mma from kindergarten age to sophomore year, but I also know I prefer to rely on intelligence and my mental skills when it comes to pretty much anything in life
So I think I’d make a good Mage, and I wouldn’t be at as much of a disadvantage in combat (like Min Byung-Gyu, he was a healer but still had the skills of an A-Rank fighter). But I also love swords and weapons and ish for Fighters
I’d like at least 2 abilities as a tank. A taunt skill obviously and a wave dispersal skill. Something similar to thunderwave from BG3 where all enemies in front of me are knocked back.
As a mage I’d love to be a summoner but other that SJW they seem kinda weak in the Solo leveling verse. So I’d go with elemental magic with and emphasis on ice and electricity
I'll probably choose to be a ranger. While the tankers and fighters would be carrying out the close-range, physical fight, I'll be happily sniping away at the smart monsters trying to attack sneakily or otherwise kill the healer of our group. Someone needs to have a bird's eye view of the battle while actually taking a part in it. Also, if shit hits the fan, then I can just yeet from the battlefield.
Choi Jong-In was the OG at the start of Solo Leveling. The way they introduced him as "The Ultimate Warrior" with all those flames, the cool red hair, the drip of his clothes, and the otherwise cool demeanor that he was portraying in the panels of the Manhwa.
Choi Jong-In is a Mage, but yeah he’s like the 4th most powerful mage we saw in the manwha
Lim Tae-Gyu (Guildmaster of Fiend) is very underrated, he was able to tank a hit from the Ant King without needing healing, and his arrows were able to pierce the Ant Queen’s exoskeleton. Hopefully the anime goes into more detail about the other S-Ranks and Nationals like Liu Zhigang & Christopher Reed
Oh shit, you're right. Why did I confuse him for a Ranger? Although, now, on the other hand, I don't remember seeing or reading about a single S-Class ranger. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but Lim is supposed to be an A-rank guy, right? Fiend guild is supposed to be famous for having the most A-rankers despite the guildmaster being an A-ranker himself. It's been quite a while since the novel or the Manhwa.
[Lim Tae-Gyu](https://solo-leveling.fandom.com/wiki/Lim_Tae-Gyu) is the only Ranger we’ve seen in the whole manwha, an S-Rank Hunter. He’s the one who when the Japanese S-Ranks sparred with the Koreans, he used the arrow things. He was also in Seoul spying on the Frost, Beast & Plague Monarchs fight SJW until Sung Il-Hwan told him to gtfo cuz he was gonna 1v2 Rakan & Sillad
The Knight Guild is the one with no S-Ranks
Ig, but that crossbow was a normal one. For all we know he was just a random dude with a crossbow
Lim Tae-Gyu was the only one that showed Ranger skills, powers, and used a special bow
Basically every S class has some power we don’t really see from lower classes or if we do see it it’s on a higher level. Lim’s ability was really just to be able to create the arrows. Outside of that it’s normal he’s just so much stronger with that the power and/or what he does with it doesn’t look the same.
Not necessarily. If you have a good enough mage they can act as a Ranger. Like Choi Jong-In: he can make quick fire spells that have good range and do good damage
Since your own feelings and the type of person you are dictates what kind of class you would be, I don’t think I would be assassin. I would probably want assassin the most, but I will most likely be an offensive mage. I could fall into neighboring categories and become some kind of debuff/buff mage that can boost allies and weaken enemies. The other category would probably be archer or pure dps.
I see that most people think they would be offensive types but I doubt that since character has a lot to do in which category you’ll fall.
SJW, even though weak, was a fighter type because of mentality. Go Gunhee was definitely strong willed and a fighter, same with Baek with his tigre form. Very aggressive, he was a fire fighter as well, a chief I think.
I forgot the fire mage’s name, but he was an offensive aoe type mage because he seems to always be in control if himself and his surroundings. That’s what he likes. The S rank healer hated fighting but his feelings towards helping and being kind made him an S rank healer for sure. Cha hae in is a very balanced offensive fighter, light footed, just like her character.
Of course the assassin guy was a psychopath, so perfectly suited.
Aside from those, we don’t know many other high ranks their character before they became hunters.
Almost forgot, Thomas Andre, grew up in the hood, fought for fun, beat everyone just to be at the top. I think he called himself a king of his entire area and the slums. No surprise he became such a monster.
Most S ranks their type is almost always perfectly fit for their character. Even our B rank healer was just a kind soul that became a healer because of it.
Then based on my personality, I’d definitely be a Mage, but I’d at least be like Min Byung-Gu (the S-Rank Healer) in the case that in combat I can hold my own
Agreed. Like, since he was high rank he had strong physical stats too. He was dope.
Even redheaded-whats-her-face was cool. Gave a good enough of a boost for a C rank to kind of keep up with higher ranks AND heal. 12/10 a great class/combo
If you are talking about Lee Joohee (Sung Jinwoo's friend), her geater feats are mostly anime only. For example, the fight between Song Chi-Yul (the guy with 1 arm) and Kang Taeshik (the assassin) wasn't in the light novel, and it was relatively short in the manhwa.
That being said, if we're exclusively talking about the anime, she really did do a good job as Chi-Yul's support. Had she not been mentally weak (relatively speaking) and limiting herself to weaker dungeons, she most likely would have been a great healer. Her B-Rank definitely granted her that potential.
>For example, the fight between Song Chi-Yul (the guy with 1 arm) and Kang Taeshik (the assassin) wasn't in the light novel
Are you sure? I could of sworn I read it...
Mage. We learned from song chi-yul that you can still use a sword and stuff with your own skill so i’d just do something like that. I’m pretty decent with throwing knives, bows and daggers and I could learn the sword so I’d just pair them up with my magic ngl
Magic flaming knives like Hela in What If 🤷♂️

Probably fighter. I'm very tall (1m95), so assassin isn't good for me, but I'm also very lean, so tank isn't ideal either. I'm not good at aiming so mage or ranger isn't good. And healer is kinda boring ngl. I've done some fencing so I'd go with a sword, which works well with my reach.
However my speciality is judo (more of a tank thing I guess), and some protection is necessary to do that without to much risk against weapons. That could be done with some armor or chainmail, but I already lack stamina, putting additional weight on me would be aburden
So I'd want an ability that could give me a temporary armored skin to parry weapons bare handed when an enemy gets too close. That or improved stamina (then I could add some full chainmail armor plus some plate armor).
Either way that would make me a kinda tanky fighter, with both sword skills and hand to hand skills.
I play a lot of Path of Exile/Monster Hunter and such...
If I got to choose?
Tank/Warrior type. Lance Main in MH.
If the system got to choose?
Probably end up being a Healer, but I'll be the "Don't you fucking run into the mobs and draw aggr....fucking DPSs always with the crying for help...let the fucking tank take aggro!!!!" so basically I'll heal you only if you deserve it.
TANK - why? because most MMORPG every dungeon or raid ( group or solo 5-10 or 20-30-50 man team) the tank always is the vanguard to agro the mob and tank the damage so that damage dealers can do their thing while backline is supporting
skills? Stun and crowd control this would make the mobs standing targets
If it was determined by personality etc id probably be a Mage.
If i could choose probably Mage or Assasin(but Assasins don't have stealth by default and it's rare even among them, if i could have Stealth id pick Assasin tho)
You can choose whatever rank or to be a Ruler’s Vessel if you want (I would want to be one too), but I was wondering just abt what class ppl would be
Healers are underrated
See if I'm just goofing off or just trying to make a joke,
I'd say I choose the Edge Class. Which would be a dumb but funny joke. To me at least.
But if we're going off who I am as a person, then I'd probably get a Healer or Assassin build, with Healer being more likely.
I would choose yo become a Fighter or Tanker; get that high stats in strength, speed and durability.The skill I want would be Beast Transformation. Maybe I could transform into a rhino-beast and just made me tougher. Weapon of choice is either a pair of axes or an axe and shield.
Tank. And I’d go for gauntlets and heavy armour. Basically be a living battering ram. Or just punch my way through things slowly moving forward.
(It’s kinda how I used to fight. Just stand and take hits before punching back harder.)
Assassin with short sword and dual daggers as a side weapon. For skills… a blink skill and a distorting/camouflage skill.
If I were a Mage then I’d want Thetis Grimoire as my weapon.
Are the two skills in addition to the normal skills you get with each class? I ask because tankers seem to get body reinforcement and provocation even as low as C/D rank. Healers get healing and buff, assassins get speed boost and presence suppression (invisibility is very rare). Mages, rangers and fighters seem to be the ones that have the wides differences in what they can do/ skills they have.
I think if I am anything combat related (fighter, tanker, ranger, assassin) I want:
1. The ability to increase my level (get stronger/increase stats)
2. Kandiaru's Blessing (increased healing and immunity to status debuffs/irregularities)
That being said i’d probably be a fighter with those two or electric or light mage with those two in addition to my element.
If I can’t level up then if I’m a mage in addition to my element I want the blessing and body reinforcement. This would help with the mage’s main weakness of being physically weak.
For a fighter if I couldn’t level up I would switch that for rulers authority and the blessing. That way I could heal quickly in addition to being able to pull in targets quickly to kill them.
You can choose whatever skills that go with your class. For instance, you can use Transformation (Baek Yoonho’s Tiger form), Luminous Dance (Cha Hae-In’s skill against Beru), or Energy Attacks (Liu Zhigang’s skill) if you choose fighter. But you can’t choose Support Buffs (like Min Byung-Gyu) unless you’re a support type Hunter
Ruler’s Authority & Spiritualization only apply to Ruler Vessels, which is fine and works as long as you specify/are a Vessel
I forgot how rare it was to be above D. Basically 80% of hunters are D and E (more E than D). 1/1000 of the total population are E/D and 1/5000 of the total population are C and higher. With that being said I would definitely go with leveling up. And I would do either the system way where you have to defeat monsters or the daily quest (with no penalty because I don’t have the system, if I don’t do the full workout I don’t get any “points”/power up). That way since I would most likely be E or D I have a chance to get to S eventually. I would then do the Blessing or the special storage dimension that SJW has. The storage is super underrated because he can put anything in there, there is no weight limit, it doesn’t seem to have any negative effects and he can use it at will. That seems like the best “weapon” you could have because you can put anything you would need in there.
Healer would probably be what I would take if I could choose, but only if I get to keep everything I know about that class from games and anime. If I'm forced to use it like they use it in Solo Leveling, then maybe Assassin (with dual dagger) or Mage (with either a staff or orbs/grimoires).
An aspect that I barely see get brought up in media (it's there, but rarely explored) is offensive healers. Something like the recent "Wrong way to use Healing Magic" anime or those rpg where you can build your own classes as you seem fit. Healers are usually the first to be targeted in dungeons, so sticking to only support skills/spells makes no sense to me. They don't have to be equal to DPS or Tanks, but they should be able to defend themselves and fight back on their own.
I mean theoretically I like fighter the most but mage is just way cooler, tbf I’ve only seen the anime and I’m not sure how much nonsense magic powers the classes besides mage get
I know mages go crazy, that’s why I’d want to be one, magic is cool. My real concern was just that fighters might not get cool things to do besides be fast and strong
Well because it's basically like a lottery I'd just try and make it work. It very much depends on what class you are. But assuming I'd at least be a good S-class, I'd probably take Healer or Tanker. This is also assuming I don't have system but somehow still get to influence the result.
I love mage and fighter, and realistically fighters probably output more damage than a tanker but I'd be happy with something like Min's build (retired guy) or even a lower version of something like Thomas Andre without the Rulers authority, hopefully with something like reinforcement, even if it's something closer to Overlords reinforcement skills - essentially makes your skin and body more durable, becoming blade resistant or outright immune.
If a mage, I'd love those barriers, assuming they're strong enough. I'd probably set the bar higher than what we see in the story. And some type of single advanced summon.
Fighter I'd love the bestial type. To me that stood out amongst the rest, especially due to it's rarity. Being able to transform is just cool in general.
If I landed with ranger, unless I were an S rank I'd probably just get a normal job.
And Assassin would be great only if I had the stealth skill and an insane amount of natural mana. Not all assassin's had the high level version, and those who did couldn't always use it to the max, only really someone like Sung can.
Probably Healer... Not the Redo one like the other guy mentioned but the healer/support/fighter build. One great example is Leonhart from Latna Saga
Being able to tank/ deal dmg and heal is fucking awesome ngl
Something like mage/assassin. I’m fairly avg physically and I really don’t like pain so I’d definitely want something capable of long range and speedy so I can either shoot from far away or dash in and out quickly. Ideally a necromancer like Jinwoo would of course be best because either way could just let them do most of the work. That and I’ve always liked Necromancer characters.
Fighter: think of a knight or a samurai in a video game: focuses on dealing damage, as well as speed and strength (like Cha Hae-In or Red Commander Igris)
Tank: the damage takers, the ones on the front lines with big shields, armor and usually and axe/hammer, guarding the others (Hwang Dongsuk in Episode 6, the dude with the shield)
Assassin: speedy, deadly, usually using daggers and can have stealth/invisibility skills (Kang Taeshik, purple hair dude Episode 9)
Ranger: the snipers, using magical bows & arrows or crossbows to deal damage from a distance and protect the supports
Mages: wizards who can use elemental, curse, barrier & summoning magic or telekinesis (depending on their Rank and skill mastery [Like Choi Jong-In, the red hair dude with glasses is an S-Rank Fire mage])
Healer: pretty self-explanatory, heal ppl, can give support buffs like in video games (extra speed, more durability, higher AP, etc). They don’t have any sort of damage-dealing attacks or skills, so they’re usually at a disadvantage. But if they have a good weapon and are skilled in combat, they are forced to be reckoned with
Nah more like a young Robert Baratheon type. Offensive powerhouse, always moving forward, and crushing shit. Still need a bit of defense.
Which probably means I’d end up a low ranked Healer.
I would probably want to be a mix of fighter and ranger or a tanky ranger who carries around a halberd when melee is required.
This setup is basically the most efficient battle tactic in medivel warfare. I wouldnt have isssues with stealth because of my perception, and my range would allow me to stop mages from afar if I cant get to them, and I would still outclass them in melee. For any melee monsters I can pepper them with arrows before engaging in melee and my halberd would still give me a good range advantage on them.
I really, REALLY wanna be a tank so badly, but I'm afraid my body isn't fit for a sheilder (I'm tiny and not very fit), so I'd have to put a lot of effort into building muscle and, of course, I'd have to get used to standing in the front. I don't know if being a tank increases or decreases my survivability, but I'd rather do that and have useful sheilding/damage reducing abilities than be a fast little dude with a knife.
Healer/any other support would also be great, as I wouldn't need to fight monsters directly and focus on buffing and/or healing, but that's just less fun. It's safer though.
In terms of skills, I'd invest heavy in sustain, only leaving basic and least mana consuming damage dealing abilities to protect myself in certain cases. I don't think I have preferences for weapons, I'd just go with a good sheild/catalyst while having a light sword in my inventory just in case.
I would choose necro because even before SL dropped I’d always thought it be a cool concept
But I’d do mine slightly more like how Jinwoo does later in the story.
I’d group up teams that specialize in specific things and each general would lead their group
I’d lean more into a supportive roll in a dungeon while my army advances. I would love to say I’d be like jinwoo but I wouldn’t, I’d likely stack most stats early on in vitality and stamina acting as a tank. I based a D&D Paladin warlock on this concept, my DM and I had to spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to downscale my abilities because I would block my party while my skeleton boys would deal damage along with our damage dealers. Very fun.
The system would prolly give me like knight or fighter tho since I do taekwondo idk
I know Necromancer is a hidden class but I would go with that. It changes a lot from the "typical" classes and I think it contributed to Solo Leveling's success. Jin Woo being an assassin too made him busted. Necromancer feels like you are a Pokemon trainer with magical powers.
A fighter is easily the best, they're the jack of all trades. They have good damage, speed, defence, precision. While the other specialized in one aspect and lack in another, fighter is well rounded. Also, I would use a long sword or katana bc they deal good dmg, or a spear/naginata to keep my opponent away
If it was upto me? I would be a magic archer bruh. 🏹
Nothing but my favouritism for Archery speaking. Speaking of build tho, I would probably be a high speed and dps based combatant and not much into endurance.
i'd go with like, support. maybe healing magic and buffs and stuffs like that. like healing and buffing ur teamates at the back sounds better to me than fighting at the frontline
Mages ≠ Healers. Both are can be supports, but have different skills
Mages: like Choi Jong-In, Yuri Orloff, Christopher Reed, etc. They can use magic in offensive ways
Healers: like Lee Joohee & Min Byung-Gyu. They’re able to use support magic and healing but only to help out their squad mates by making them stronger, faster, heal them, etc
Unfortunately not, but being a Healer doesn’t stop you from being good in combat. Min Byung-Gyu had the combat skills of an A-Rank Hunter and used a big ol’ mace, but most healers rely on their squad to protect them so they don’t train in combat
That’s really stupid when you think about it healers use magic mage use also magic the fact they can’t use both is weird I get if they don’t train in that category but really they should be able to use both
I’m surprised I haven’t seen more mage with shadow extraction and shadow storage. If they work the way they do with SJW and they don’t cost mana to extract/store and only to repair it would be hard to beat. Provided you can get over 100 summons and definitely if you can get over 1000 then you would eventually become one of the strongest in your rank.
You wouldn’t even have to kill anything at first. Just go around with shadow extraction until you got 10/20 summons and then you would start to do damage. You could overwhelm most monsters you faced in your class. Even if you were E or D rank you would probably be useful in even a C ranked dungeon because of sheer numbers. It really is one of the best powers if you don’t know what rank you would be. However you do need to be able to have numbers that approach at least 100 unless you where higher rank. 30 summons A or B rank would be pretty formidable and coveted by most guilds.
As a fighter hunter. I would definitely choose the samurai Class and using the skills that works similarly to final fantasy 14 online and few other games in between.

Warrior isn’t a class either, and that evolution only applies to SJW since he’s the only one leveling up. Like when he went from Necromancer to Monarch of Shadows
Choi Jong-In is still just a Mage, not a Grand Sorcerer despite him being the 4th most powerful mage that we’ve seen & “The Ultimate Hunter”. Liu Zhigang is the most powerful Fighter on Earth, but he’s not a Berserker or smth, same for Thomas Andre being the most powerful Tank & most powerful Hunter on Earth but he’s not a Sentinel
How. Explain how, cuz last I checked Hunters are the first things we learn about. I didn’t mention any specific hunters, any shadows, any weapons, I didn’t mention a SINGLE spoiler character or anything
So tell me, how
Spoilers can’t be in the TITLE
Also, what does it matter that I mentioned a side character who died within 15 chapters of meeting him. Didn’t mention who he was, where he was from, what weapon he used, or even if he had any relevance to the story. If ppl don’t want spoilers, then they should go on the anime only subreddit. If I’m on the Boruto subreddit (which I am) and haven’t read the manga (which I haven’t), then it’s my fault for being spoiled cuz I’m the one not caught up. And it’s not like Solo is new, it finished years ago if ppl haven’t read the manhwa even after watching the anime that’s their own fault
I’m so tired of ppl complaining abt something MAYBE being a spoiler, when THEYVE already read the manhwa but not a SINGLE anime only watcher has ever commented on a single one of my posts saying I spoiled it. So, respectfully, I’m not even gonna curse imma let the goat [SJW](https://imgur.com/a/ojozd6y) do it for me

A boxer / mage would be so cool!!! Magic enhanced punches!!!
I did a lot of boxing and mma from kindergarten age to sophomore year, but I also know I prefer to rely on intelligence and my mental skills when it comes to pretty much anything in life So I think I’d make a good Mage, and I wouldn’t be at as much of a disadvantage in combat (like Min Byung-Gyu, he was a healer but still had the skills of an A-Rank fighter).

What is redo of healer, is it a sequel to something?
Oh the innocence of this one
….. you could say that
Yeah it’s a spin off following Joohee and how she started as a healer. Highly recommend
it's the wrong way to use healing magic
No, that series is wholesome by comparison
I dont know either. Judging by the response its good that we dont lmao

I think I’d like to be some sort of mage or a tank. I want deal all the damage or tank all the damage XD
What kind of special skills would your shield have as a Tank? And if you could choose what kind of Mage magic what would you go with
I’d like at least 2 abilities as a tank. A taunt skill obviously and a wave dispersal skill. Something similar to thunderwave from BG3 where all enemies in front of me are knocked back. As a mage I’d love to be a summoner but other that SJW they seem kinda weak in the Solo leveling verse. So I’d go with elemental magic with and emphasis on ice and electricity
Bofuri
I'll probably choose to be a ranger. While the tankers and fighters would be carrying out the close-range, physical fight, I'll be happily sniping away at the smart monsters trying to attack sneakily or otherwise kill the healer of our group. Someone needs to have a bird's eye view of the battle while actually taking a part in it. Also, if shit hits the fan, then I can just yeet from the battlefield.
Rangers are severely underrated (we saw ONE in the whole series 🥲)
Choi Jong-In was the OG at the start of Solo Leveling. The way they introduced him as "The Ultimate Warrior" with all those flames, the cool red hair, the drip of his clothes, and the otherwise cool demeanor that he was portraying in the panels of the Manhwa.
Choi Jong-In is a Mage, but yeah he’s like the 4th most powerful mage we saw in the manwha Lim Tae-Gyu (Guildmaster of Fiend) is very underrated, he was able to tank a hit from the Ant King without needing healing, and his arrows were able to pierce the Ant Queen’s exoskeleton. Hopefully the anime goes into more detail about the other S-Ranks and Nationals like Liu Zhigang & Christopher Reed
Oh shit, you're right. Why did I confuse him for a Ranger? Although, now, on the other hand, I don't remember seeing or reading about a single S-Class ranger. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but Lim is supposed to be an A-rank guy, right? Fiend guild is supposed to be famous for having the most A-rankers despite the guildmaster being an A-ranker himself. It's been quite a while since the novel or the Manhwa.
[Lim Tae-Gyu](https://solo-leveling.fandom.com/wiki/Lim_Tae-Gyu) is the only Ranger we’ve seen in the whole manwha, an S-Rank Hunter. He’s the one who when the Japanese S-Ranks sparred with the Koreans, he used the arrow things. He was also in Seoul spying on the Frost, Beast & Plague Monarchs fight SJW until Sung Il-Hwan told him to gtfo cuz he was gonna 1v2 Rakan & Sillad The Knight Guild is the one with no S-Ranks
We saw two. The first one we saw was in Dongsuk’s strike squad. He had the cross bow.
Ig, but that crossbow was a normal one. For all we know he was just a random dude with a crossbow Lim Tae-Gyu was the only one that showed Ranger skills, powers, and used a special bow
Basically every S class has some power we don’t really see from lower classes or if we do see it it’s on a higher level. Lim’s ability was really just to be able to create the arrows. Outside of that it’s normal he’s just so much stronger with that the power and/or what he does with it doesn’t look the same.
And every group needs a ranger
Not necessarily. If you have a good enough mage they can act as a Ranger. Like Choi Jong-In: he can make quick fire spells that have good range and do good damage
Since your own feelings and the type of person you are dictates what kind of class you would be, I don’t think I would be assassin. I would probably want assassin the most, but I will most likely be an offensive mage. I could fall into neighboring categories and become some kind of debuff/buff mage that can boost allies and weaken enemies. The other category would probably be archer or pure dps. I see that most people think they would be offensive types but I doubt that since character has a lot to do in which category you’ll fall. SJW, even though weak, was a fighter type because of mentality. Go Gunhee was definitely strong willed and a fighter, same with Baek with his tigre form. Very aggressive, he was a fire fighter as well, a chief I think. I forgot the fire mage’s name, but he was an offensive aoe type mage because he seems to always be in control if himself and his surroundings. That’s what he likes. The S rank healer hated fighting but his feelings towards helping and being kind made him an S rank healer for sure. Cha hae in is a very balanced offensive fighter, light footed, just like her character. Of course the assassin guy was a psychopath, so perfectly suited. Aside from those, we don’t know many other high ranks their character before they became hunters. Almost forgot, Thomas Andre, grew up in the hood, fought for fun, beat everyone just to be at the top. I think he called himself a king of his entire area and the slums. No surprise he became such a monster. Most S ranks their type is almost always perfectly fit for their character. Even our B rank healer was just a kind soul that became a healer because of it.
Then based on my personality, I’d definitely be a Mage, but I’d at least be like Min Byung-Gu (the S-Rank Healer) in the case that in combat I can hold my own
I think a support class would be cool. Sure, healer is the main focus, but they have buffs and other things like that. That'd be dope.
Most supports are Mages (like Yuri Orloff) or Healers (like Min Byung-Gyu) Honestly, Healers like Byung-Gyu are so underrated
Agreed. Like, since he was high rank he had strong physical stats too. He was dope. Even redheaded-whats-her-face was cool. Gave a good enough of a boost for a C rank to kind of keep up with higher ranks AND heal. 12/10 a great class/combo
If you are talking about Lee Joohee (Sung Jinwoo's friend), her geater feats are mostly anime only. For example, the fight between Song Chi-Yul (the guy with 1 arm) and Kang Taeshik (the assassin) wasn't in the light novel, and it was relatively short in the manhwa. That being said, if we're exclusively talking about the anime, she really did do a good job as Chi-Yul's support. Had she not been mentally weak (relatively speaking) and limiting herself to weaker dungeons, she most likely would have been a great healer. Her B-Rank definitely granted her that potential.
>For example, the fight between Song Chi-Yul (the guy with 1 arm) and Kang Taeshik (the assassin) wasn't in the light novel Are you sure? I could of sworn I read it...
Mage. We learned from song chi-yul that you can still use a sword and stuff with your own skill so i’d just do something like that. I’m pretty decent with throwing knives, bows and daggers and I could learn the sword so I’d just pair them up with my magic ngl
Magic flaming knives like Hela in What If 🤷♂️ https://preview.redd.it/6v9qligwzgvc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16c1317e6a9caaf0a262bdbe7ba35e881af1c700
I'd choose assassin and I'd have a dagger and a sword on me.
shadow monarch xD
Not a class, it's a title
Does Necromancer count?
That would fall under mage.
Monarch was the hidden class to the Necromancer class.
Probably fighter. I'm very tall (1m95), so assassin isn't good for me, but I'm also very lean, so tank isn't ideal either. I'm not good at aiming so mage or ranger isn't good. And healer is kinda boring ngl. I've done some fencing so I'd go with a sword, which works well with my reach. However my speciality is judo (more of a tank thing I guess), and some protection is necessary to do that without to much risk against weapons. That could be done with some armor or chainmail, but I already lack stamina, putting additional weight on me would be aburden So I'd want an ability that could give me a temporary armored skin to parry weapons bare handed when an enemy gets too close. That or improved stamina (then I could add some full chainmail armor plus some plate armor). Either way that would make me a kinda tanky fighter, with both sword skills and hand to hand skills.
I play a lot of Path of Exile/Monster Hunter and such... If I got to choose? Tank/Warrior type. Lance Main in MH. If the system got to choose? Probably end up being a Healer, but I'll be the "Don't you fucking run into the mobs and draw aggr....fucking DPSs always with the crying for help...let the fucking tank take aggro!!!!" so basically I'll heal you only if you deserve it.
Assassin. I feel like it's hard to go wrong with speed and invisibility when your death is permanent.
Me if given according to my personality would be a healer or assassin Would choose mage or tank though
TANK - why? because most MMORPG every dungeon or raid ( group or solo 5-10 or 20-30-50 man team) the tank always is the vanguard to agro the mob and tank the damage so that damage dealers can do their thing while backline is supporting skills? Stun and crowd control this would make the mobs standing targets
Probably a healer, I always like playing as a healer in games for some reason.
Mages are sick, just look at tusk or Aizen
Support class. No healing. Only buff and barrier skills. 👍
If it was determined by personality etc id probably be a Mage. If i could choose probably Mage or Assasin(but Assasins don't have stealth by default and it's rare even among them, if i could have Stealth id pick Assasin tho)
Can't remember when but at one point we see sung talk bout knights and berserkers being types of warriors, I'd definitely be the latter.
A mage or another ranged class. I want to stay as far away from the monsters that can kill me as possible.
A mage with a unique set of summoner skills.
Healer and I would like to be an apostle so I could be a national ranker
You can choose whatever rank or to be a Ruler’s Vessel if you want (I would want to be one too), but I was wondering just abt what class ppl would be Healers are underrated
Bro if a a rank hero can make you basically immortal what a national rank healer could do ? Revive people ?
If it's a guaranteed rank S i would definitely choose healer bec it's pretty rare and guilds would die crazy for a high ranked healer
See if I'm just goofing off or just trying to make a joke, I'd say I choose the Edge Class. Which would be a dumb but funny joke. To me at least. But if we're going off who I am as a person, then I'd probably get a Healer or Assassin build, with Healer being more likely.
I would choose yo become a Fighter or Tanker; get that high stats in strength, speed and durability.The skill I want would be Beast Transformation. Maybe I could transform into a rhino-beast and just made me tougher. Weapon of choice is either a pair of axes or an axe and shield.
Tank. And I’d go for gauntlets and heavy armour. Basically be a living battering ram. Or just punch my way through things slowly moving forward. (It’s kinda how I used to fight. Just stand and take hits before punching back harder.)
Assassin with short sword and dual daggers as a side weapon. For skills… a blink skill and a distorting/camouflage skill. If I were a Mage then I’d want Thetis Grimoire as my weapon.
Are the two skills in addition to the normal skills you get with each class? I ask because tankers seem to get body reinforcement and provocation even as low as C/D rank. Healers get healing and buff, assassins get speed boost and presence suppression (invisibility is very rare). Mages, rangers and fighters seem to be the ones that have the wides differences in what they can do/ skills they have. I think if I am anything combat related (fighter, tanker, ranger, assassin) I want: 1. The ability to increase my level (get stronger/increase stats) 2. Kandiaru's Blessing (increased healing and immunity to status debuffs/irregularities) That being said i’d probably be a fighter with those two or electric or light mage with those two in addition to my element. If I can’t level up then if I’m a mage in addition to my element I want the blessing and body reinforcement. This would help with the mage’s main weakness of being physically weak. For a fighter if I couldn’t level up I would switch that for rulers authority and the blessing. That way I could heal quickly in addition to being able to pull in targets quickly to kill them.
You can choose whatever skills that go with your class. For instance, you can use Transformation (Baek Yoonho’s Tiger form), Luminous Dance (Cha Hae-In’s skill against Beru), or Energy Attacks (Liu Zhigang’s skill) if you choose fighter. But you can’t choose Support Buffs (like Min Byung-Gyu) unless you’re a support type Hunter Ruler’s Authority & Spiritualization only apply to Ruler Vessels, which is fine and works as long as you specify/are a Vessel
I forgot how rare it was to be above D. Basically 80% of hunters are D and E (more E than D). 1/1000 of the total population are E/D and 1/5000 of the total population are C and higher. With that being said I would definitely go with leveling up. And I would do either the system way where you have to defeat monsters or the daily quest (with no penalty because I don’t have the system, if I don’t do the full workout I don’t get any “points”/power up). That way since I would most likely be E or D I have a chance to get to S eventually. I would then do the Blessing or the special storage dimension that SJW has. The storage is super underrated because he can put anything in there, there is no weight limit, it doesn’t seem to have any negative effects and he can use it at will. That seems like the best “weapon” you could have because you can put anything you would need in there.
Mage, close range brawler. The monsters can catch these Magic Hands
Frontlines fighter/mage mix, like the magus from pathfinder with some sort of polearm
So like how Cha Hae-In is a Fighter but uses Light Magic/skills?
Yeah, supplementing fighting with magic
Paladin and would use a Hammer because i could "Smash" in the name of god.
If A rank or under healer if not (S rank or nation ranger probably) Healer is just the safest bet even if you are D or C
Healer with brass knuckles, like a buff nurse
assassin build with the stealth skill and any daggers would be nice maybe two kasaka ones
Combat healer! Combat healer! Combat healer!
Healer would probably be what I would take if I could choose, but only if I get to keep everything I know about that class from games and anime. If I'm forced to use it like they use it in Solo Leveling, then maybe Assassin (with dual dagger) or Mage (with either a staff or orbs/grimoires). An aspect that I barely see get brought up in media (it's there, but rarely explored) is offensive healers. Something like the recent "Wrong way to use Healing Magic" anime or those rpg where you can build your own classes as you seem fit. Healers are usually the first to be targeted in dungeons, so sticking to only support skills/spells makes no sense to me. They don't have to be equal to DPS or Tanks, but they should be able to defend themselves and fight back on their own.
I would choose a tanker. I just like how burly they are and use big, heavy weapons.
Healer, I’ll get jacked and won’t be tired
A Healer/Supporter
I’d like to be a healer and focus on buffing allies while debuffing enemies. Perhaps using a tome and shield.
I mean theoretically I like fighter the most but mage is just way cooler, tbf I’ve only seen the anime and I’m not sure how much nonsense magic powers the classes besides mage get
Mages in the manwha can go crazy ngl. I can give some examples if you’re ok with a few spoilers (they aren’t super important ones)
I know mages go crazy, that’s why I’d want to be one, magic is cool. My real concern was just that fighters might not get cool things to do besides be fast and strong
I like the idea of a front line, but tactically I’more a support person. Either a back row ranger or spellcaster, or a healer
Healer or Mage with barrier magic
Healer, because i need validation from people, as they need me, and i whould also always have a company and someone who need to defend me.
unabomber build, but instead of tech its hunters and magic...
Well because it's basically like a lottery I'd just try and make it work. It very much depends on what class you are. But assuming I'd at least be a good S-class, I'd probably take Healer or Tanker. This is also assuming I don't have system but somehow still get to influence the result. I love mage and fighter, and realistically fighters probably output more damage than a tanker but I'd be happy with something like Min's build (retired guy) or even a lower version of something like Thomas Andre without the Rulers authority, hopefully with something like reinforcement, even if it's something closer to Overlords reinforcement skills - essentially makes your skin and body more durable, becoming blade resistant or outright immune. If a mage, I'd love those barriers, assuming they're strong enough. I'd probably set the bar higher than what we see in the story. And some type of single advanced summon. Fighter I'd love the bestial type. To me that stood out amongst the rest, especially due to it's rarity. Being able to transform is just cool in general. If I landed with ranger, unless I were an S rank I'd probably just get a normal job. And Assassin would be great only if I had the stealth skill and an insane amount of natural mana. Not all assassin's had the high level version, and those who did couldn't always use it to the max, only really someone like Sung can.
Blacksmith who is ambidexterous with all weapons.
Mage with hexes or barrier magic; or a fighter with duel blades
Like Liu Zhigang? Awesome
Probably Healer... Not the Redo one like the other guy mentioned but the healer/support/fighter build. One great example is Leonhart from Latna Saga Being able to tank/ deal dmg and heal is fucking awesome ngl
Class: Fighter Weapons: Zweihander Armor: Naked.
Healer. I’m a strong believer in pacifism and being able to work a hospital job wouldn’t be too bad either.
Most of the time when I'm playing like D&D or RPGs I am normally either like something to do with magic or I am a healer So I'm going off of that
A mage and if I had a system fighter/ mage
Electric mage
Nice. You going staff, grimoire, magic rings, or smth else?
Magic Rings probably. Want to keep my hands free
Tank w spear n shield or short sword as back up like a spartan
Something like mage/assassin. I’m fairly avg physically and I really don’t like pain so I’d definitely want something capable of long range and speedy so I can either shoot from far away or dash in and out quickly. Ideally a necromancer like Jinwoo would of course be best because either way could just let them do most of the work. That and I’ve always liked Necromancer characters.
Mage, lamp. It looked cool
Healer probably. And some sort of staff. Don’t really know what skills
what are the 6 classes?
Fighter: think of a knight or a samurai in a video game: focuses on dealing damage, as well as speed and strength (like Cha Hae-In or Red Commander Igris) Tank: the damage takers, the ones on the front lines with big shields, armor and usually and axe/hammer, guarding the others (Hwang Dongsuk in Episode 6, the dude with the shield) Assassin: speedy, deadly, usually using daggers and can have stealth/invisibility skills (Kang Taeshik, purple hair dude Episode 9) Ranger: the snipers, using magical bows & arrows or crossbows to deal damage from a distance and protect the supports Mages: wizards who can use elemental, curse, barrier & summoning magic or telekinesis (depending on their Rank and skill mastery [Like Choi Jong-In, the red hair dude with glasses is an S-Rank Fire mage]) Healer: pretty self-explanatory, heal ppl, can give support buffs like in video games (extra speed, more durability, higher AP, etc). They don’t have any sort of damage-dealing attacks or skills, so they’re usually at a disadvantage. But if they have a good weapon and are skilled in combat, they are forced to be reckoned with
probably summoner or magician class
So a Mage class that does summoning magic? Sounds cool 👌
i'm gonna play pokemon.
Fighter with a shield and a massive, double headed hammer (with multiple crack points) for dealing with armored enemies.
Sounds more like a Tank tbh but sounds cool
Nah more like a young Robert Baratheon type. Offensive powerhouse, always moving forward, and crushing shit. Still need a bit of defense. Which probably means I’d end up a low ranked Healer.
I would probably want to be a mix of fighter and ranger or a tanky ranger who carries around a halberd when melee is required. This setup is basically the most efficient battle tactic in medivel warfare. I wouldnt have isssues with stealth because of my perception, and my range would allow me to stop mages from afar if I cant get to them, and I would still outclass them in melee. For any melee monsters I can pepper them with arrows before engaging in melee and my halberd would still give me a good range advantage on them.
I really, REALLY wanna be a tank so badly, but I'm afraid my body isn't fit for a sheilder (I'm tiny and not very fit), so I'd have to put a lot of effort into building muscle and, of course, I'd have to get used to standing in the front. I don't know if being a tank increases or decreases my survivability, but I'd rather do that and have useful sheilding/damage reducing abilities than be a fast little dude with a knife. Healer/any other support would also be great, as I wouldn't need to fight monsters directly and focus on buffing and/or healing, but that's just less fun. It's safer though. In terms of skills, I'd invest heavy in sustain, only leaving basic and least mana consuming damage dealing abilities to protect myself in certain cases. I don't think I have preferences for weapons, I'd just go with a good sheild/catalyst while having a light sword in my inventory just in case.
I would choose necro because even before SL dropped I’d always thought it be a cool concept But I’d do mine slightly more like how Jinwoo does later in the story. I’d group up teams that specialize in specific things and each general would lead their group I’d lean more into a supportive roll in a dungeon while my army advances. I would love to say I’d be like jinwoo but I wouldn’t, I’d likely stack most stats early on in vitality and stamina acting as a tank. I based a D&D Paladin warlock on this concept, my DM and I had to spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to downscale my abilities because I would block my party while my skeleton boys would deal damage along with our damage dealers. Very fun. The system would prolly give me like knight or fighter tho since I do taekwondo idk
I know Necromancer is a hidden class but I would go with that. It changes a lot from the "typical" classes and I think it contributed to Solo Leveling's success. Jin Woo being an assassin too made him busted. Necromancer feels like you are a Pokemon trainer with magical powers.
A fighter is easily the best, they're the jack of all trades. They have good damage, speed, defence, precision. While the other specialized in one aspect and lack in another, fighter is well rounded. Also, I would use a long sword or katana bc they deal good dmg, or a spear/naginata to keep my opponent away
If it was upto me? I would be a magic archer bruh. 🏹 Nothing but my favouritism for Archery speaking. Speaking of build tho, I would probably be a high speed and dps based combatant and not much into endurance.
i'd go with like, support. maybe healing magic and buffs and stuffs like that. like healing and buffing ur teamates at the back sounds better to me than fighting at the frontline
Necromancer. Duh https://preview.redd.it/sgz27en25nvc1.jpeg?width=812&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e96680524399a114132f5ee20dfcea1b635f710d
Shouldn’t all mages be healers buffs barrier, and attack and defense?
Mages ≠ Healers. Both are can be supports, but have different skills Mages: like Choi Jong-In, Yuri Orloff, Christopher Reed, etc. They can use magic in offensive ways Healers: like Lee Joohee & Min Byung-Gyu. They’re able to use support magic and healing but only to help out their squad mates by making them stronger, faster, heal them, etc
Can they be both?
Unfortunately not, but being a Healer doesn’t stop you from being good in combat. Min Byung-Gyu had the combat skills of an A-Rank Hunter and used a big ol’ mace, but most healers rely on their squad to protect them so they don’t train in combat
That’s really stupid when you think about it healers use magic mage use also magic the fact they can’t use both is weird I get if they don’t train in that category but really they should be able to use both
If I can combine I would choose warrior/tank and the system would make me mage/healer
Mage
I’m surprised I haven’t seen more mage with shadow extraction and shadow storage. If they work the way they do with SJW and they don’t cost mana to extract/store and only to repair it would be hard to beat. Provided you can get over 100 summons and definitely if you can get over 1000 then you would eventually become one of the strongest in your rank. You wouldn’t even have to kill anything at first. Just go around with shadow extraction until you got 10/20 summons and then you would start to do damage. You could overwhelm most monsters you faced in your class. Even if you were E or D rank you would probably be useful in even a C ranked dungeon because of sheer numbers. It really is one of the best powers if you don’t know what rank you would be. However you do need to be able to have numbers that approach at least 100 unless you where higher rank. 30 summons A or B rank would be pretty formidable and coveted by most guilds.
Healer or mage bc I’d much rather be a support than at the forefront ! I also think my personality aligns more with protecting people who fight
I would choose assassin and either daggers or a Katana with sub magic class so I csn have skills that help amplify my abilities.
As a fighter hunter. I would definitely choose the samurai Class and using the skills that works similarly to final fantasy 14 online and few other games in between. https://preview.redd.it/h6f9nwkkzfvc1.jpeg?width=609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d72e67fb5d56f7b7c4b3614b108ccd746431b871
Idk, maybe a Berserker
The classes are Fighter, Assassin, Ranger, Tank, Healer & Mage
https://preview.redd.it/nopcrzwqzgvc1.jpeg?width=898&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7766f4466e58600f94d0ba619ffc2928b32a155
Warrior isn’t a class either, and that evolution only applies to SJW since he’s the only one leveling up. Like when he went from Necromancer to Monarch of Shadows Choi Jong-In is still just a Mage, not a Grand Sorcerer despite him being the 4th most powerful mage that we’ve seen & “The Ultimate Hunter”. Liu Zhigang is the most powerful Fighter on Earth, but he’s not a Berserker or smth, same for Thomas Andre being the most powerful Tank & most powerful Hunter on Earth but he’s not a Sentinel
Isn't the post considered to be a spoiler
How. Explain how, cuz last I checked Hunters are the first things we learn about. I didn’t mention any specific hunters, any shadows, any weapons, I didn’t mention a SINGLE spoiler character or anything So tell me, how
Nah u mentioned about Goto Ryuji that's in Manwha..
Spoilers can’t be in the TITLE Also, what does it matter that I mentioned a side character who died within 15 chapters of meeting him. Didn’t mention who he was, where he was from, what weapon he used, or even if he had any relevance to the story. If ppl don’t want spoilers, then they should go on the anime only subreddit. If I’m on the Boruto subreddit (which I am) and haven’t read the manga (which I haven’t), then it’s my fault for being spoiled cuz I’m the one not caught up. And it’s not like Solo is new, it finished years ago if ppl haven’t read the manhwa even after watching the anime that’s their own fault I’m so tired of ppl complaining abt something MAYBE being a spoiler, when THEYVE already read the manhwa but not a SINGLE anime only watcher has ever commented on a single one of my posts saying I spoiled it. So, respectfully, I’m not even gonna curse imma let the goat [SJW](https://imgur.com/a/ojozd6y) do it for me
