Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE Solo Raiding Guide – How to Beat Co-op Raids Alone (Best Team Builds & Tips)

on

Going solo in Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE isn’t just a playstyle—it’s a mindset. Even though OVERDRIVE’s 4-player raids are designed for co-op squads, many hunters prefer tackling the game’s toughest Commanders alone, without relying on matchmaking queues or unpredictable teammates.

The good news? You absolutely can clear raids solo, thanks to the game’s impressive CPU-controlled Hunter ally system. With the right squad, the right builds, and a smart approach, you can dominate every raid—even on higher star difficulties.

This guide breaks down everything you need to know to beat OVERDRIVE’s co-op content solo: from recruiting hunters and team synergy to raid strategies, AI companion behavior, and advanced setup tips.

🛡️ Build the Perfect Solo Raid Squad

Recruiting the Right Hunters

Once you finish Chapter 3, the Hunter’s Guild opens and you can begin recruiting allies through contract negotiations—no gacha, no RNG hell. You simply spend Hunt Coins, which you earn naturally as you play.

When selecting Hunters, think about roles and elements, because your squad will need a balance for tough Commander fights.

Recommended Roles

✔ Pro Tip:
Save Hunt Coins until after Chapters 3–4 for better contract offers. Hunters in “good condition” get a +2% negotiation bonus.

Optimizing and Upgrading Your Team

Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE Solo Raiding Guide

Even though allied Hunters automatically match Jinwoo’s level, they still require smart planning:

Key Upgrades

  • Artifacts & Weapons:
    Enhance with Gold + Enhancement Chips to massively boost stats.

  • Skills:
    Level up Basic, Support, and Ultimate abilities so Hunters keep up with higher-tier raids.

  • Synergy:
    Mix roles and elements depending on the boss (many Commanders have elemental weaknesses).

⚔️ Preparing for Raid Content

How Raids Work

Raids = big boss fights vs powerful Commanders. They’re designed for groups, but fully playable solo using AI Hunters.

Difficulty ranges from 1–15 stars, with enemies scaling up to level 85.
Start low → Learn mechanics → Move up.

Pre-Raid Prep Checklist

✔ Gear Up

Use the crafting system to create stronger weapons with monster drops (like Kasaka’s Venom Fang).

✔ Use Consumables

Buy temporary buffs at Lee Roah’s Cafe—they last for 5 missions and can make a huge difference in survivability and damage.

✔ Allocate Stats Wisely

You earn 5 stat points per level. For raids, prioritize:

  • Vitality – tankiness to survive heavy raid hits

  • Perception – improves damage consistency & parry timing

  • Your main damage stat depending on build

🎯 Best Solo Raid Team Compositions

1. Balanced All-Purpose Team (Best for Most Players)

  • 1 Tank (to hold aggro)

  • 1 Support (healing + buffs)

  • 1 DPS (Fighter/Mage/Assassin depending on boss)

This is the most consistent, beginner-friendly raid composition.

2. Burst Damage Team (For Time-Sensitive Mechanics)

  • 2 DPS

  • 1 Support

Great for bosses with DPS checks or enrage phases.

3. Elemental Weakness Team

Stack 2–3 Hunters with the boss’s elemental counter to maximize damage.

4. Survival/Training Team (For Learning Fights)

  • 2 Tanks or

  • 1 Tank + 2 Supports

Slower kills but exceptional survivability.

🔧 Advanced Solo Raiding Strategies

How to Command AI Companions

You can’t micromanage your allies, but you can influence their behavior:

✔ Positional Control

Hunters follow your movements. Position Jinwoo away from AoEs and they’ll stay safe too.

✔ Timing Around Support Skills

Watch for your healer’s cast windows—go aggressive right after they heal or buff.

✔ Understanding Aggro

If you’re a DPS build, avoid pulling aggro by overbursting too early.

Improve Through Iteration

Solo raids require patience.

  • Identify failures (damage too low? healer dying?)

  • Swap roles or elements

  • Upgrade artifacts/skills

  • Adjust stat allocation

Mastery comes with repetition and refinement.

Solo raiding in Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE is absolutely viable—and incredibly rewarding. With a smart Hunter squad, well-planned stat allocation, and adaptive strategies, you can clear the toughest Commander raids without ever queuing for multiplayer.

You control the pace.
