Tanks are the most reliable characters in an adventuring party. The brave soldiers standing at the front line facing enemies head on are essential in any RPG game. In Solo Leveling: Arise, the need for a tank is even greater. The enemies and bosses are quite fast, and it can be hard to dodge their attacks.
These tank characters can act as meat shields, putting themselves in between other party members and enemy attacks. These burly units ensure the party stays alive, making sure that the campaign goes successfully. Of course, some options for tanks are better than others. Here's a list of all the tanks in Solo Leveling: Arise from worst to best.

Dungeons are a dangerous place in Solo Leveling: Arise. These SSR characters can help players out.
9 Kim Sangshik
Worst Choice By Far
Kim Sangshik is a SR unit that scales with defense, who can knock down enemies with his basic skills. Sangshik is generally not recommended, because this hunter and wind-element user doesn’t provide much for the team.
Thanks to mediocre damage, less usable skills, and his range of attacks. Sangshik is not fit to stand on the front lines. He barely adds any value as a tank character, so players are advised not to invest in him when building a team.
8 Woo Jinchul
A Tank That Can Dash Around
Woo Jinchul is another Tank Class character that uses the wind element. While Jinchul is not the strongest SSR character and pales in terms of damage output, he still tries to make up for his shortcomings with fast-dashing skills, which can make gameplay a bit easier.
Jinchul scales with defense, which is not the best stat to scale with. That makes things harder for this Tank class Wind Breaker. Regardless, Woo Jinchul is a decent SSR character that will perform better than the SR characters. Fans of Woo Jinchul from the manhwa should roll for him for his easy to play and fun gameplay.
7 Hwang Dongsuk
Evil By Nature, Good For the Team

6 Yoo Jinho
Jack Of All Trades, Master Of None

One other great thing about Yoo Jinho is that the game gives free dupes for him. Players can use him at his peak potential without having to spend precious money on him. While Jinho’s damage and other abilities fall short when compared with some other characters, he is still one of the best picks for beginners.
5 Kim Chul
Arrogant, But Strong
The arrogant Tanker from the White Guild, Kim Chul, is an SR rarity Tank unit that wields the Light element. Chul might not have been the most helpful or friendliest character in the manhwa, but the game tells a different story.
