Best Artifact Sets for Sung Jinwoo
Sung Jinwoo can be equipped with several types of equipment that each have their own Main Stat and Substats, but what’s more important are their Set Effects, as shown in the image above.
When it comes to gearing up Sung Jinwoo or your Hunters, you must always make sure that there are at least two Set Effects active. Feel free to swap out Artifact pieces to achieve this, but do note that changing equipment will cost you Gold.
Listed below are all the best artifact sets that you can equip on Sung Jinwoo depending on what stats of his you’d like to improve or what stage you are in the game.
NOTE: The main source of all the best Artifact sets and Accessory sets that will be mentioned below are Encore Missions and Instance Dungeons, respectively. Make sure you’re farming them until your keys are depleted every single day!
Hard Leather Set
 Hard Leather Set |
| Set Bonus: Toughness |
| 2 Set Effect: Your Critical Hit Rate increases by 8%. |
| 4 Set Effect: Your Critical Hit damage increases by 32%. |
The Hard Leather set is the best artifact set you can equip Sung Jinwoo with if you’re going for pure DPS. It’s especially useful for players who have trouble reaching higher crit rates and crit hit damage with just Sing Jinwoo’s stat point allocations, Weapons, and Artifact substats.
You may opt for other Artifact sets listed below, however, once you get Sung Jinwoo’s Crit Hit Rate to at least 50%. This can be achieved with optimal stat allocations, substat rerolling, and equipping Crit-boosting Weapons such as the Demonic Plum Flower Sword.
Almighty Kalgargan Set
 Almighty Kargalgan Set |
| Set Bonus: One-hit Kill |
| 2 Set Effect: Increases Ultimate Skill damage by 25%. |
| 4 Set Effect: Decreases the Ultimate Skill cooldown by 40%. |
Unlike the Hard Leather set which improves Sung Jinwoo’s basic attack and skill crits, the Almighty Kargalgan set revolves around allowing him to execute his Ultimate much faster than normal.
This is incredibly useful when you’re going up against most bosses in the game and can potentially provide you with the most DPS boost out of all the best Artifact sets listed here, especially once you unlock Sung Jinwoo’s Necromancer job and the Truth: Mutilate Ultimate skill.
High-ranking Demon Set
 High-ranking Demon Set |
| Set Bonus: Destroyer |
| 2 Set Effect: Your Power Gauge Acquisition Rate increases by 20%. |
| 4 Set Effect: When the battle starts, charges Power Gauge by 50% and additionally increases the player and the party’s Power Gauge Acquisition Rate by 20%. |
The High-ranking Demon Set Set provides just about the same effect as the Almighty Kargalgan set, as it allows Sung Jinwoo to cast his Ultimate faster during combat.
Because of the instant additional 50% to Sung Jinwoo’s Power Gauge at the start of the battle, this Artifact set shines best when used in Game Modes that have a short time limit.
Best Accessory Sets for Sung Jinwoo
Just like Artifacts, you can equip Sung Jinwoo with four Accessories that provide him with different Accessory-exclusive Set Effects.
You can unlock the first two Accessory slots for both Sung Jinwoo and your Hunters after clearing Chapter 9 of the story.
Beast Set
 Beast Set |
| Set Bonus: Expert |
| 2 Set Effect: When landing a Critical Hit, has a 25% chance to increase Attack by 0.8% (stacking up to 100 times) (Cooldown: 1 second) |
| 4 Set Effect: Increases Activation Rate to 50% and Attack Increase Effect to 1.6%. |
The Beast set is arguably the best Accessory set in Solo Leveling: Arise, as it gives Sung Jinwoo a massive boost in DPS depending on how many Critical Hits he lands.
As you can probably guess from its Set Effects, this set performs the best when Sung Jinwoo has a high enough Crit Hit Rate to capitalize, making it the perfect partner for the Hard Leather Artifact set if you’ve yet to reach 50% Crit Hit Rate from other sources.
Skeleton Set
 Skeleton Set |
| Set Bonus: Berserker |
| 2 Set Effect: When the user has 50% HP or less, their damage dealt increases by 15%. |
| 4 Set Effect: HP condition changes to 70% and the Damage Dealt Increase effect increases to 30%. |
The Skeleton Set doesn’t improve Sung Jinwoo’s DPS potential, but rather his survivability instead.
You may consider using this set for tough battles where taking multiple lethal hits is inevitable or if you’re having trouble using the Extreme Evasion feature.
Behemoth Set
 Behemoth Set |
| Set Bonus: Executioner |
| 2 Set Effect: When attacking enemies with 40% or less HP, increases damage dealt by 8%. |
| 4 Set Effect: HP condition has been changed to 70% and the Damage Increase effect increased to 20%. |
The Behemoth set, while not as effective as the Beast set, will enhance Sung Jinwoo’s damage and allow him to clear battles faster, which is something you’d always want to prioritize especially once you get into the late game.
Of course, equipping the Behemoth set is a high-risk, high-reward investment as it relies on Sung Jinwoo lowering his HP deliberately, so make sure to be cautious and use Extreme Evasion once you meet the HP requirements as often as you can to fully utilize this Accessory set!
