National Level Hunters in Solo Leveling are the strongest fighters in the series, with powers so immense they rival entire nations. First introduced to fans as the peak of hunter strength, these individuals later became crucial to the story, including in the sequel, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok.
In this article, we rank the six officially recognized National Level Hunters based on their feats, powers, and impact on the storyline.
Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for both Solo Leveling and Solo Leveling: Ragnarok.
6. Antoine Martinez
Antoine Martinez holds the title of the fifth National Level Hunter, earning his place without inheriting powers from the Rulers. This achievement alone makes him remarkable. Antoine’s full abilities remain a mystery, but Solo Leveling: Ragnarok hints at more revelations about him in future chapters.
5. Siddharth Bachchan
India’s strongest hunter, Siddharth Bachchan, earned his title as a National Level Hunter through sheer power and determination. Though his abilities were never fully showcased, he wielded the Ruler’s Authority and Spiritual Body Manifestation. Tragically, Siddharth’s hunger for power led to his downfall in Ragnarok, but his legacy as a formidable protector lives on.
4. Christopher Reed
Christopher Reed, America’s third strongest hunter, earned his National Level status with an unyielding will and great strength. Sadly, his encounter with the Monarchs cut his journey short. While his abilities were never fully displayed, Reed’s bravery and role as a vessel of a Ruler solidified his place among the elite hunters.
3. Liu Zhigang
Known as Asia’s strongest hunter, Liu Zhigang was a master swordsman and one of the most respected National Level Hunters. He stood tall with incredible speed, precision, and combat skills. Liu’s role in the Jeju Island arc and his epic battles made him a fan favorite, showcasing his unwavering determination to protect others.
2. Thomas Andre
Thomas Andre, the world’s strongest hunter before Sung Jinwoo, symbolized raw power and resilience. As a Ruler’s vessel, he possessed immense strength, speed, and endurance. His fearsome reputation made him a legend, but even he met his match when facing Jinwoo. Thomas remains one of the most iconic hunters in Solo Leveling.
1. Sung Suho
Sung Suho, the protagonist of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok and the son of Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In, stands at the pinnacle of hunter strength. With abilities inherited and refined from his legendary parents, Suho became a National Level Hunter at a young age. His rapid growth and unmatched potential suggest he will soon surpass even his father’s legacy.
Honorable Mention: Sung Jinwoo
Sung Jinwoo, the Shadow Monarch, isn’t officially a National Level Hunter—but his power far exceeds the title. Capable of defeating entire armies and even Monarchs, Jinwoo remains the strongest character in Solo Leveling. Fans affectionately dub him the “Planet Level Hunter,” setting him in a league of his own.
While Jinwoo, his wife Cha Hae-In, and his father Sung Il-Hwan have powers comparable to National Level Hunters, none were formally recognized with the title.
