Solo Leveling Arise Shadow Tier List
To increase the Shadow Authority buffs for any of the Shadows below, you must ‘promote’ them with Shades and in-game currency. By promoting a Shadow, their overall buff and stats are increased significantly. For instance, Igris the Knight can become an Elite Knight through promotion.
- There is currently an unreleased Shadow that appears on the Shadow selection screen. As this Shadow isn’t out just yet, we can’t place them in our rankings until they’re playable! Once this Shadow is available, the padlock icon will disappear from their silhouette in-game.
