· This video is a revised edition of the beginner's guide, reflecting the April update for 'Solo Leveling: ARISE'.
· It's important to check the latest information as existing recommended builds may change due to the release of new characters or weapons, and meta shifts.
· The previous beginner's guide series is linked in the description box and pinned comment, so please refer to them.

· The previous guide recommended leveling up Seiryo first, and then picking up Seiryo Moto upon its release.
· For weapons, we recommended the Demon King's Dagger, Stone Bringer, and Sung Jinwoo's wind-element weapon, and for hunters, we suggested a wind-element combination utilizing Lyan and Sung Jin-Hwa.
· The initial goal was to clear Volcan and Baran, then secure Seiryo Moto to tackle the required content.
· Subsequently, for clearing Rock Pasa, we recommended an ice-element weapon and hunter combination, along with Son Ki-un and Si-an as supporters.
· This build was estimated to take approximately 5 months or more to complete.

· Seiryo Moto is currently excluded from pickups and the custom summon, making it difficult to proceed with the previous build.
· **Alternative 1 (Maintain Existing Method):** This involves enduring for a month using Fire Mir's evolution and Son Ki-un, and then leveling up Seiryo Moto once it's added to the custom summon. In this case, you might face difficulties farming in content like Closed Dungeons due to the lack of wind-element weaknesses.
· **Alternative 2 (New Start):** Instead of wind-element, this method involves summoning Seiryo from the custom summon and starting with an ice-element hunter combination utilizing the pickup character Elena. This approach is advantageous for exploiting ice-element weaknesses in Closed Dungeons, Simulation, etc., and helps with early resource acquisition.

· The advantage of starting with an ice-element weapon is that you can utilize Seiryo as a supporter, which is beneficial in Closed Dungeons and similar content.
· The disadvantages include difficulty surpassing the efficiency of wind-element combinations in content like Trial of the Heavens and Architect's Trial, and an increased need for rerolling when combining Winter and Alon.
· Specifically, since the powerful damage skill 'Flowing Water Sword' needs to be obtained at Legendary rarity or higher, starting with a wind-element weapon might be more stable.
· The delay in the release of the new weapon 'Gwangpungjewol', which was scheduled for April, has made predictions about changes in the wind-element weapon meta uncertain. If this weapon replaces existing wind-element weapons, starting with ice-element might be advantageous, but its performance is still unclear, making it difficult to guarantee 100%.
· Currently, considering Storm's defense-ignoring damage and the convenience of the Bard's paralysis, starting with a wind-element weapon remains appealing.

· Weapon choice should be based on personal preference. Starting with a wind-element weapon is still stable, but starting with ice-element is also worth considering.
· Especially since Elena shows strong performance as a supporter in Sung Jinwoo Mode, there's a merit to starting with ice-element.
· We wish all new players good luck with their summons and hope you have an enjoyable gameplay experience.
