Solo Leveling: National Level Hunters, Explained
National Level Hunters are not just stronger than S-rankers, but they also command significant political influence. Here's why they are so special.
Comprising of top S-rank hunters from both countries, the raid party is tasked with killing the ant queen. Although the mission is challenging, the Jeju Island Raid Party has battle-hardened fighters who know how to get the job done. But how do they stack up against each other?

Considered one of Korea's best ranger-class hunters, Lim Tae-Gyu is a skilled combatant. But since he specializes in archery magic, he is mostly effective in long-range combat and can be easily overwhelmed once his enemies manage to close the distance.
Despite his weakness, Lim brings combat experience and unmatched knowledge to the Jeju Island raid, which can be crucial in intense battles.
8 Ma Dongwook
Korea's Best Tanker-Class Hunter

However, Ma still possesses incredible endurance and is capable of fighting even after sustaining serious injuries.

6 Baek Yoonho
White Tiger Guild's Leader

8 Strongest Demons In Solo Leveling, Ranked
Demons are powerful adversaries in Solo Leveling, and these ones are the strongest of them all.
Baek is one of the few hunters who have been to Jeju Island before and is traumatized by the experience. The fourth raid offers him a chance to redeem himself and demonstrate that he has overcome his past fears.
5 Choi Jong-In
Guild Master Of The Hunters Guild
- Anime Debut: Episode 1
- Webnovel Debut: Chapter 66
- Class: Mage
- Country: Korea
An expert in fire magic, Choi Jong-In specializes in long-range combat and is extremely effective in fighting against a horde of monsters. His fighting style is attuned to situations where overwhelming firepower is needed, so he can be quite useful against ant colonies on Jeju Island.
The last time I played with ants was when I was a little boy. I remember hearing faint snapping noises every time I torched an ant with a lighter... Now, I hear fireworks.
Furthermore, as an experienced leader and someone who has been on the island before, he brings a unique perspective that could turn out to be life-saving for his team.
4 Kenzo Tanaka
Draw Sword Guild's S-Rank Hunter
- Anime Debut: Episode 21

After Goto and Atsushi, Kenzo Tanaka is arguably Japan's most dangerous hunter. As a specialist in melee combat, he is a ruthless fighter who easily overwhelms Ma Dongwook in the joint sparring session before the raid. Tanaka loves to fight and is one of the few hunters who is excited to take on the ants on Jeju Island.
3 Atsushi Kumamoto
Japanese S-Rank Hunter

Draw Sword Guild's Atsushi Kumamoto is a cowardly person despite being a fighter-class hunter. However, once he is invested in a fight after losing his temper, Kumamoto can be surprisingly strong.
7 Strongest Guild Masters In Solo Leveling, Ranked
Very few hunters can go toe-to-toe against these guild masters in Solo Leveling.
During the Korea-Japan joint hunter sparring session, Atsushi easily dodges Baek Yoonho's attacks and almost goes into the dangerous Berserker State after getting punched in the face by Cha Hae-In. Kumamoto can also move deceptively faster than most hunters, so much so that even Hae-In struggles to keep up with him.

- Class: Fighter

Cha Hae-In once used to be a famous track athlete, but when an injury killed her career, she ended up becoming a hunter following her awakening. In a short time, she established herself as one of Korea's best hunters and also became the vice guild master of the Hunters Guild.
Out of all the hunters I've met, he's the first person that smells nice.
