Solo Leveling Arise Shadow tier list: All shadows ranked

A Solo Leveling Arise Shadow tier list has become crucial for the community since the title's global launch on May 8, 2024. The Shadows are a race of undead beings brought into existence by the Shadow Monarch. Per the manhwa/anime, the Shadow Monarch uses his Shadow Extraction ability to bring these defeated creatures and humans to life.

You can change Sung Jinwoo's job after completing Chapter 9; then, you can unlock the Army of Shadows. Only four Shadows are currently available, and there is a padlock icon on the silhouette of another Shadow. Since the Shadow is not playable yet, this Solo Leveling Arise Shadow tier list refrained from ranking that one.

Since the game doesn't share any official ranking of the Shadows, this Solo Leveling Arise Shadow tier list reflects the author's viewpoint. Due to the effectiveness of the AOE damage-dealing units in clearing battle missions like defeat 35 or more monsters and win, this tier list has ranked the attacking Shadows at higher ranks.

However, despite being ranked lower in this Solo Leveling Arise tier list, Shadows like Iron and Tank can become crucial when the situation arrives.
