Solo Leveling hunters’ power levels are measured as E to S Rank. E-rank hunters are the weakest, while S-rank hunters are the strongest. However, National-level hunters are the most powerful among them.
When Kamish, a formidable dragon, attacked the USA, hunters from all over the world gathered there to defeat him. Kamish is an extraordinarily powerful dragon capable of destroying a country. In the end, five hunters managed to kill Kamish: Thomas Andre, Liu Zhigang, Cristopher Reed, Siddharth Bachchan, and an unknown healer. From then on, they were recognized as National-level hunters. National-level hunters are more powerful than typical S-rank hunters.
In the present time, if a hunter clears an S-rank Dungeon by himself, he will be recognized as a National-level hunter. After Jinwoo gained the power of the Shadow Monarch, he became a National-level hunter.
Including Jinwoo, there are five National-level hunters.
1. Sung Jin woo
Sung Jinwoo is our main protagonist. At first, he used to be the weakest hunter of all humankind. After inheriting the Shadow Monarch’s power, he became a national-level hunter. Not only a national level, but he also surpassed every previous national-level hunter and even defeated Thomas Andre. Before Jinwoo inherited the Shadow Monarch’s power, Thomas was known as the strongest hunter in the world.
By the end of the manhwa, he became the strongest character in the Solo Leveling world. He possesses immeasurable strength, immeasurable speed, immense durability, combat mastery, agelessness, accelerated development, memory manipulation, hypnosis, indomitable will, ruler’s authority, dragon’s fear, and necromancer power, etc.
2. Thomas Andre
Thomas Andre, the vassal of Ruler, is one of the hunters who killed Kamish and is known as a national-level hunter. When Jinwoo used to be weak, Thomas was the strongest hunter in the world. He possesses extraordinary physical strength. During his fight with Jinwoo, he sends Jinwoo flying with a single punch and demolishes buildings with the mere wind pressure from his attacks.
His immense speed allows him to match Jinwoo’s pace and evade Rakan’s notice during battle. Thomas also exhibits remarkable durability, remaining unscathed through severe impacts and attacks that would incapacitate others. His ability, Reinforcement, significantly boosts his defense and attack, encasing him in golden armor with black horns and making his hair blaze like flames.
3. Liu Zhigang
Zhigang is a Chinese national level hunter. He is recognized as one of the strongest hunters globally and was the preeminent hunter in Asia until Jinwoo eclipsed his strength. Zhigang’s capabilities include immense physical strength, allowing him to perform feats like swiftly beheading a giant before it could react.
He also exhibits remarkable speed, the ability to control and move objects with telekinesis under Ruler’s Authority, and can unleash explosive energy blasts with a sword swing, demonstrating both a wide range and significant power, evidenced when he eradicated an entire army of ants approaching him. His skills also encompass Spiritual Body Manifestation, further solidifying his status as an exceptionally powerful hunter.
4. Cristopher Reed
Christopher Reed was considered one of the world’s strongest hunters. However, the extent of his abilities was never fully showcased as he was killed in an off-screen battle. He demonstrated telekinetic control through Ruler’s Authority and had the ability of Spiritual Body Manifestation, transforming into a one-eyed humanoid monster with blazing light orange hair. The flames he produced were so intense that it took 14 S-Rank Hunters to extinguish them, highlighting his formidable power.
5. Siddharth Bachchan
Siddharth Bachchan is an Indian National Level Hunter. Even though he never appeared in a manhwa, just like every other 3 national level hunters, he was one of the hunters who killed Kamish. Siddharth is recognized as one of the world’s most powerful hunters.
He possesses the ability of Ruler’s Authority, enabling him to control and manipulate objects through telekinesis. Additionally, Siddharth exhibits the skill of Spiritual Body Manifestation, indicating his potential to manifest or transform his spiritual form, though specific details about this ability are not provided.
