Solo Hunters Beginner Guide: Everything You Need to Know

A complete guide for new players. Learn the basics of classes, stats, runes, and how to progress efficiently in Solo Hunters.

Quick Start Checklist

  1. 1.Redeem all active codes for 1100+ free Gems
  2. 2.Choose your class (Swordsman or Wizard recommended for beginners)
  3. 3.Do 10-pulls at the Summoning Booth - aim for Shadow Scythe or Divine Blade
  4. 4.Focus ALL stat points on your main attribute (Strength for Swordsman, Magic for Wizard)
  5. 5.Complete the Starter Devil Hunter quest line

1. Understanding Classes

Solo Hunters features 6 distinct classes, each with unique playstyles and stat requirements. Your class choice affects your primary stat, weapon options, and role in group content.

Recommended for Beginners

Swordsman

RECOMMENDED

Melee DPS / Tank

Stat: Strength Weapons: Greatsword, Scythe

+ High survivability, Great AOE damage, Easy to play solo

- Melee range only, Slower attack speed

Wizard

RECOMMENDED

Ranged AOE / Control

Stat: Magic Weapons: Staff, Grimoire

+ Massive AOE damage, Safe ranged attacks, Strong crowd control

- Low HP, Mana management required

Other Classes

Assassin

Single Target DPS

Stat: Agility Weapons: Dual Daggers

+ Highest boss DPS, Fast attacks, High crit rate

- No AOE, Difficult early game, Squishy

Ranger

Sustained Physical DPS

Stat: Agility Weapons: Bow

+ Safe kiting, Good sustained damage, Flexible positioning

- Lower burst damage, Ammo management

Tank

Damage Absorption

Stat: Defense Weapons: Shield & Mace

+ Essential for raids, Never dies, Aggro control

- Very slow leveling, Needs party for efficiency

Healer

Support / Sustain

Stat: Magic Weapons: Light Tome

+ Team survival, Self-sustain, Always wanted in groups

- Low damage, Boring solo play

Tip: If you're unsure, start with Swordsman. It's the most forgiving class and excels at solo content. You can always use the CLASSREROLL code later to switch classes without losing progress.

2. Stat System & Allocation

Every level gives you stat points to distribute. This is one of the most important decisions in the game - wrong allocation can ruin your character.

Strength

Physical attack power. Affects melee damage and heavy weapon effectiveness.

Best for: Swordsman, Assassin (secondary)

Magic

Spell power and mana pool. Affects all magical abilities and healing.

Best for: Wizard, Healer

Agility

Attack speed, crit rate, and movement speed. Essential for DPS builds.

Best for: Assassin, Ranger

Defense

Damage reduction and HP. Important for survival in late game.

Best for: Tank, All (late game)

Critical Warning: Avoid Bucket Allocation!

DO NOT spread your points evenly across all stats. This is called "bucket allocation" and will make your character weak at everything. Monsters have defense thresholds - if your main stat isn't high enough, your damage gets severely reduced.

Recommended Allocation

  • Swordsman: 100% Strength until Level 40, then 80% STR / 20% DEF
  • Wizard: 100% Magic always
  • Assassin: 80% Agility / 20% Strength
  • Ranger: 100% Agility
  • Tank: 70% Defense / 30% Strength
  • Healer: 100% Magic

3. Rune System (Gacha)

Runes are your active skills in Solo Hunters. Unlike traditional skill trees, you obtain runes through a gacha (random summoning) system using Gems.

How Summoning Works

  • Single Pull: 50 Gems - one random rune
  • 10-Pull: 450 Gems - ten runes with bonus rates (RECOMMENDED)
  • Mastery: Using a rune increases its level, unlocking upgrades

Rune Tier List

T0 - God Tier

Shadow Scythe (AOE farming god) • Divine Blade (true damage boss killer)

T1 - Meta

Crimson (hybrid damage) • Light (sustain + damage)

T2 - Niche

Vines (crowd control) • Goliath (tank utility)

New players should aim for T0 runes through rerolling. With 1100+ free Gems from codes, you can do multiple 10-pulls to get a strong start.

4. Leveling Guide (1-50+)

Phase 1: Newbie (Level 1-20)

  • Complete 'Starter Devil Hunter' quest series
  • Join a Division for bonuses
  • Focus 100% on main stat
  • Use shop weapons - don't waste gold on enchants yet

Tip: Speed through this phase. Don't explore - just quest and grind.

Phase 2: Growth (Level 20-50)

  • Dungeon speedrunning becomes main activity
  • Use AOE skills (Shadow Scythe, Crimson) to group mobs
  • Start investing in Defense if you're dying
  • Save Gems for specific rune banners

Tip: This is where T0 runes shine. Shadow Scythe clears rooms instantly.

Phase 3: Endgame (Level 50+)

  • Hunt for Mythic weapons (Dual Daggers, Gunblade)
  • Challenge Octopus Devil and Shark Devil
  • Invest in Legendary enchantment scrolls
  • Optimize build for specific content

Tip: Divine Blade's true damage becomes essential for high-armor bosses.
