How to level up quickly in Solo Leveling Arise

The trick to level up quickly in Solo Leveling Arise is farming as many EXP (Experience Points) for Sung Jinwoo as possible. This is used to increase his level, which means leveling up your account and unlocking new content. Additionally, other Hunters can be upgraded only to Sung Jinwoo’s maximum level, which affects your team’s Total Power.

The first roadblock you face is in Chapter 7, which requires upgrading Jinwoo to a certain level to progress further. However, EXP is scarce in the title, making leveling up quickly one of the most challenging tasks.

But fret not; you will find all the ways to get EXP to level up quickly in Solo Leveling Arise below.

Gates is another source for earning EXP to level up quickly in Solo Leveling Arise. The game mode unlocks in the tutorial after Sung Jinwoo’s job upgrades to Assassin. You can play some Gates by forming a party with Sung Jinwoo, where others require only Hunters. There are five types of Gates: Normal, Dungeon Breaks, Red, Bonus, and Special; all grant EXP upon clearance.

Each gate type also has different rarities, from the lowest E, D, C, B, and A to the highest S. You can get EXP upon clearing every gate, and the higher the rank, the more EXP they grant. You can also clear Gate Missions to earn bonus EXP. The mission has three phases, with each requiring clearing three Gates. All phases grant an equal amount of additional EXP in Solo Leveling Arise.

The Gates game mode is the best source to get EXP to level up quickly in Solo Leveling Arise, but they are also the toughest. Consider monsters’ details, such as their passives and weak elemental type, and raise your team to the recommended Total Power to clear any gate swiftly.
