Is Seo Jiwoo good?

Seo Jiwoo can keep her basic skill's cooldown perpetually reset through her core attack, another basic skill use, or her QTE, letting it chip away at Break damage almost nonstop. Her support skill also throws shields on the team for survivability.

She's genuinely build-flexible, working either as a shield-focused support with the right gear or as a damage-leaning pick with a crit-oriented set instead.

Strengths

  • Cooldown reset lets her basic skill deal near-continuous Break damage
  • Support skill grants the team shields
  • Can be built as either a support or a damage dealer

Profile

Seo Jiwoo is voiced by Emily Sun in English and Mayuko Kazama in Japanese.

Background

Seo Jiwoo is a playable Hunter in Solo Leveling: ARISE.

A hunter with outstanding talent, but low self-confidence.

She has devoted herself to training so she can better control her powers.

Dossier #01: Like Flowing Water

Awakenings can happen suddenly. Now that the status of hunters has risen, most people consider it a blessing.

It was definitely amazing to gain power that others didn't have.

However, even if it's considered a blessing, it can be considered a terrible curse to someone who doesn't want it.

This was especially true for those who were unable to make the unexpected strong power fully their own.

Seo Jiwoo was one of those who thought awakening was a curse.

She had lived a life that was no different from other people her age.

After graduating from college, she immediately jumped into the job market.

Although it wasn't the company of her dreams, she joined them because they presented a decent offer and spent boring, but ordinary days commuting to and from work.

For her, the greatest happiness was watching videos of her favorite idol group while drinking a can of beer after work.

As someone who wanted to live a life like a calm, flowing water, she never once considered the life of a hunter, who lived an intense life at every moment.

Dossier #02: There's No Paradise Where You've Run Away To

Seo Jiwoo, who was cursed with awakening, wanted to live a while ignoring this unfamiliar power.

However, her superhuman strength would suddenly activate as if to remind her of its existence, and because of that she couldn't let her guard down for even a moment.

Dozens of times she stood in front of broken items and apologized while bowing.

She would stay home all day thinking that someday she might get in trouble for vandalism.

She also had to leave the company that guaranteed her ordinary life, half willingly and half unwillingly.

She had some money saved up, so she would be fine for the next few months, but she didn't know what she would do after that.

Also, staying inside didn't seem to calm her superhuman strength.

One day, Jiwoo decided to improve her mood by cleaning for the first time in a while.

As she washed the dishes and brushed off the accumulated dust, she thought that maybe she could live a normal life again.

But then it happened again.

While organizing the albums of her favorite idol group, she ended up breaking them into pieces.

Although she doesn't normally show her emotions, she couldn't help but cry that day.

The sadness she had been holding in burst out of her.

She probably cried for hours without stopping.

When Seo Jiwoo no longer had the strength to cry, she made a decision.

In order to get old life back, she needed to learn how to manage her power.

Dossier #03: Two Paths

Where should she start from?

Seo Jiwoo, who didn't know much about hunters or guilds, started by searching on the internet.

However, the stories were just long-winded pieces of information with no substance.

There was no other way. She had to experience it herself.

After asking around, Seo Jiwoo secretly infiltrated the raid site of the Hunters Guild and hid among the bushes, waiting for the hunters to appear.

She was nervous. She felt like her throat was burning with anxiety.

Not long after, she saw a group of hunters preparing to take on the gate.

Jiwoo recklessly jumped in front of them.

She was certain that the man standing in front was the leader.

She grabbed the man's arm and begged him to take her on a tour of the gate, just once.

She was so desperate that she babbled right over his grunts of pain.

After listening to Jiwoo for a while, and he hesitantly removed her hand from his arm and made a proposal.

To her surprise, he offered to let her join the guild if she passed a simple test.

She was speechless.

Dossier #04: The Path Set by Fate

The unthinkable happened.

During her little fieldtrip, Jiwoo managed to kill an A-Rank magic beast with a single wild sing of her fist.

Naturally, the Hunters Guild welcomed her with open arms.

Is there really such a thing as fate?

The man she had gently accosted was Son Kihoon, leader of the Hunters Guild's B-Team.

He happened to be in the process of forming his squad.

The superhuman strength that she resented so much was coveted among hunters, and Kihoon felt it firsthand when she grabbed his arm.

He decided to forgo procedure and made Jiwoo and offer on the spot.

It was only later, as she struggled to adjust to the hunter life, that Jiwoo learned all this.

While secretly hoping that her strange power will disappear, Jiwoo continues her grueling training under the supervision of her team members.
