Solo Hunters Tier List – Best Class, Weapon, Power & More

Updated on January 26, 2026: Updated for the Iron Armor Set shadow nerf.

Making the best build in Solo Hunters is all about picking out the best class, weapon, powers, armor set and rings. Below I’ll go into each category separately and rank them all with individual ranking explanations, drop locations and stats. Here’s my complete Solo Hunters tier list.

Solo Hunters Class Tier List

Classes in Solo Hunters are just bonuses to stats and you can currently only get them via Class Rerolls which you can buy or get from codes (all codes linked at the end of the article). The best class is Tank for a Strength/Weapons build and Mage for a Magic/Power/Rune build. Below I’ll explain all class stat bonuses and each class individually.

You can get your class in the Stats menu in the top right.

S-Tier Classes

S-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Class Stats
Tank Class Legendary	• The best class for a Weapon build and overall the best class in the game • This is because weapons give you more reliable DPS and less reliance on cooldowns • Also the highest HP bonus • Check out the best Weapons to use below in their tier list	+40% Health +20% M1 Damage
Mage Class Legendary	• The best class for a Power/Rune build • Tank/Weapon builds are more reliable since for Power/Rune builds you have to farm mastery for moves to be effective whereas Weapons always have M1s • Still Mage can be quite decent with all moves and mastery farmed but it’s more for late game where AOE is more important • Check out the best Powers/Runes to use below in their tier list	+40% Magic Damage

A-Tier Classes

A-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Notes
Assassin Mythic	• Overall, going for a hybrid build is slightly weaker in terms of raw DPS than going for a single stat build • But you get the flexibility of having both single target DPS with weapons and AOE DPS with Powers/Runes • If you’re going for a hybrid Strength/Magic stat build then Assassin is your best option	+20% M1 Damage +20% Magic Damage +20% Health

B-Tier Classes

B-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Notes
Elf Epic	• Both Elf and Summoner are for Magic/Power/Rune builds • Elf just gives 5% more damage but doesn’t get HP • So it’s only a matter if you value that 5% more DPS over HP but overall Summoner is slightly better solo due to the HP boost	+25% Magic Damage
Summoner Epic	• See Elf	+20% Health +20% Magic Damage

C-Tier Classes

C-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Notes
Knight Rare	• Just a weaker version of Assassin • The stats are so low that’s it not worth it • Only good for beginner weapon builds if you cannot get Knight or Assassin	+10% M1 Damage +10% Health +10% Magic Damage

Solo Hunters Weapon Tier List

The best weapons in Solo Hunters are the Thunder Axe, Shadow Scythe and Dual Dagger. I prefer the Thunder Axe since the R skill Stormcall Throw is god-tier for AOE farming at all stages of the game. Below I’ll dive into each weapon individually and their drop locations.

Combine with maxing Strength, Serpent/Venomspike set and the Tank class for the best DPS.

S-Tier Weapons

S-Tier	Notes
Thunder Axe	Drops in Jungle • Top 2 weapon in the game DPS-wise • The R is the best skill and amazing for grinding and gives you both a ranged and an AOE option • The best weapon for farming
Shadow Scythe	Only available at the Summon Power NPC • Arguably the best late-game weapon in the game • This is because of the long-range skills in the skill tree allowing you to kite end-game raids • Cannot be grinded in dungeons since you can only get it through luck at the Summon Power station

A-Tier Weapons

A-Tier	Notes
Dual Dagger	Drops in Spider Cave or get from Summon Power NPC • High A or low S but it’s slightly weaker than Shadow Scythe and Thunder Axe • Still a really flexibile and fast weapon with some of the best skills in the game • Top 3 weapon • Daggers share the skill tree with swords
Venom Fang	Drops in Subway • Easy to grind while having great skills and the skill tree is the same as your starting weapon

B-Tier Weapons

B-Tier	Notes
Carmsei Katana & King’s Trident	King’s Trident drops in Snow Forest Carmsei Katana drops in Desert • Both are good for mid-game but the S-Tiers powercreep them hard • Plus the A-Tiers are easier to get

C-Tier Weapons

C-Tier	Ranking Explanation
Link Sword	Drops in Cave • Weakest weapon in the tier list but stronger than Demon King Daggers and Diamond Dagger

Solo Hunters Power Tier List

The best powers in Solo Hunters are Divine Blade and Goliath for late-game but you have to farm their mastery. Whatever power you pick, always go for the boss-killer skill first so you can farm mastery for it. Go for skills like Sword of Destiny for DB, Blackhole Crash for Goliath, Ghoulstorm Mine for Dark, etc. Let’s analyze all Powers/Runes individually and see which ones are the best.

Tip #1: I recommend farming Jungle boss for mastery.

Tip #2: Max Magic Power stat, get Mage class and Astral Set for the best Power/Rune DPS.

S-Tier Powers

S-Tier	Ranking Explanation
Divine Blade Mythic	• The best Power/Rune in the game with the highest DPS • Sword of Destiny is a DPS nuke dealing massive damage on bosses • The range is a bit short but the damage is god-tier • You even get invincibility frames on all skills so you can dodge damage while DPS-ing
Goliath Legendary	• Also short ranged like Divine Blade and less AOE but still does really impressive damage • The best boss killer in the game after DB • Blackhole Crash is the best move • You also have some iFrame skills to dodge boss telegraphs • Overall the second best Power in the game

A-Tier Powers

A-Tier	Ranking Explanation
Darkness Epic	• Really strong for an Epic despite not having iFrames • Ghoulstorm Mine is a boss killer for farming • Plus, unlike BE and Goliath you have huge range and AOE so it’s much safer in teams
Light Legendary	• Less DPS than the three above but it’s long-ranged and does excellent AOE damage • That said it doesn’t have iFrame moves

B-Tier Powers

B-Tier	Ranking Explanation
Crimson Legendary	• Great beginner Power • Good damage even though it has low range and AOE • Great for early farming and has an iFrame skill
Nature Epic	• The best beginner Power for farming bosses and mastery • Great damage, range and AOE for its rarity • The first skill does the best damage with R being a close second for boss-killing

C-Tier Powers

C-Tier	Ranking Explanation
Lightning Rare	• Wide AOE attacks but abysmally low DPS • I wouldn’t use this • No iFrames so you can get damaged during channeling moves
Vines Rare	• A weaker version of Lightning

Solo Hunters Armor Set Tier List

The best armor in Solo Hunters depends on if you want Melee or Magic damage. There are a bunch of options for Melee armor sets with the best ones being Serpent and Venomspike. For Magic builds the Astral set is the best. You can check out all of them, their ranking notes, stats and drop locations below.

S-Tier Armor Sets

S-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Stats & Drop Location
Serpent Armor Set	• The best melee damage bonus in the game with slightly higher HP than Venomspike • This makes Serpent the best armor set in the game • Otherwise the melee damage bonus is the same as Venomspike so you can use either if you don’t care about HP	2 Piece Bonus: Gain 12% extra HP 3 Piece Bonus: +25% Melee Damage Drops from Subway
Astral Armor Set	• The best armor in the game for Magic Power builds • Combine with Divine Blade or Goliath Power for the best DPS	2 Piece Bonus: Gain 14% extra HP 3 Piece Bonus: +20% Magic Damage Drops from Snow Forest
Venomspike Armor Set	• Same as Serpent except you get a bit less HP • Otherwise just as good for optimal melee DPS	2 Piece Bonus: Gain 10% extra HP 3 Piece Bonus: +25% Melee Damage Drops from Caves

A-Tier Armor Sets

A-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Stats & Drop Location
Bloodsteel Armor Set	• Both Bloodsteel and Sunforge are great alternatives to S-Tier • It’s just slightly lower stats but they’re still great armor sets for melee builds	2 Piece Bonus: Gain 8% extra HP 3 Piece Bonus: +20% Melee Damage Drops from Jungle
Sunforge Armor Set	• Same as Bloodsteel but more HP	2 Piece Bonus: Gain 15% extra HP 3 Piece Bonus: +20% Melee Damage Drops from Spider Cave

B-Tier Armor Sets

B-Tier	Ranking Explanation	Stats & Drop Location
Oathkeeper Armor Set	• The passive Burn damage is nice for beginners but in mid-to-late game the melee damage bonus gets you much more DPS	2 Piece Bonus: Gain 18% extra HP 3 Piece Bonus: Burn Passive Drops from Desert
Iron Armor Set	• Used to be the best once it gave 50% melee damage but now it’s okay for beginners after the shadow nerf • Basically the same as all the other melee bonus sets except you don’t get the HP	Deal 20% more melee damage Drops from all Gates

Solo Hunters Best Build

The best build in Solo Hunters depends on whether you’re going for a Weapon/Strength loadout or Power/Magic. Both are good in the late game but Weapons are generally more reliable with M1s while Powers are great for AOE clearing. Here’s everything you need for both builds.

Best Weapon Build	Best Magic Build
Weapon: Shadow Scythe or Thunder Axe Armor: Serpent Set or Venomspike Ring: Wanwood or Black Iron Class: Tank Stats: Strength 1000, Defense 600, Agility 400 Agility is a great tertiary stat for doging boss telegraphs	Power/Rune: Divine Blade or Goliath Armor: Astral Set Ring: Dark Heart Ring Class: Mage Stats: Magic Power 1000, Defense 500, Energy 100, Agility 400 Agility is a great tertiary stat for dodging boss telegraphs

Blueprints form the backbone of your AIC factories in Arknights Endfield, and you’ll be able to create plenty on your adventures. However, you can also take advantage of community creations by importing and using their designs.

In simple words, Blueprints refer to production chain designs that can be used at your AIC base. It includes every detail of a production chain and prevents you from having to recreate everything from scratch.

Best factory Blueprint codes in Arknights Endfield

Thanks to the social media community, we already have a fair number of codes popping up on social media. Personally, I have loved using them, and will add more codes in the days to come. You can not only use these designs, but you can also tweak them to add your personal touch as required.

Most of these codes are working EU/NA. However, the codes with user names in brackets are meant for the SEA servers.

How to create Blueprints in Arknights Endfield

Before you get to import and use Blueprints made by others, it’s necessary to create one of your own.

• Enter the AIC Mode and open the Top View.
• Select Bulk Action, and then choose the portion of the design that you want to save as a Blueprint. This can be your entire design, or only a part.
• Once you have confirmed the selection, press Ctrl+S to save your Blueprint.

You can add your own names and descriptions to your Blueprints. You can also add icons and tags to categorize and identify them more easily in the future.

How to import Blueprints in Arknights Endfield

Creating your own Blueprint might be fun, but you can also use designs created by other Arknights Endfield players. This will allow you to harness the advantages of an efficient base design that might not have popped up in your brain.

• To import Blueprints, you’re going to need codes. Every Blueprint has a unique alphanumeric string like the ones posted in the next section. First, copy the code from outside the game.
• Go to your Core AIC (or Outposts).
• Enter Top View by pressing Q/R3 (if you’re using a controller).
• Press F1 to open the Blueprint menu.
• Switch to the Shared Blueprints tab, which will allow you to paste the copied code.

You can also visit another player’s base in Arknights Endfield, and directly copy a Blueprint (it automatically copies the applicable alphanumeric string).
