i-dle Collaboration Update

Netmarble’s Solo Leveling: ARISE kicked off its highly anticipated collaboration with global K-pop sensation i-dle on July 3.

The first wave introduced playable characters Miyeon and Shuhua, and as of August 28, the full lineup is finally available in-game.

Just like Miyeon and Shuhua, fans are excited to discover the unique combat styles and abilities each i-dle member brings as awakened Hunters.  Alongside them, a host of new content and support features for both new and returning players were introduced.

Let’s break down the highlights from the August 28 update of Solo Leveling: ARISE.

SSR Hunters: MINNIE, SOYEON, and YUQI

MINNIE, SOYEON, and YUQI Make Their Debut!

Meet the three new Hunters added in the Solo Leveling: ARISE X i-dle collaboration!

MINNIE’s Stunning Scythe Attacks

MINNIE, who shares main vocal duties with MIYEON in i-dle, debuts in-game as a Dark attribute SSR Assassin Hunter.

Her skills, named after flowers like Anemone, Iris, Acacia, Allium, and more unfold beautifully as she swings her massive scythe, slicing through monsters like a blooming battlefield.

MINNIE’s damage scales with her Defense stat, so equipping artifacts that boost Defense is highly recommended. Her traits further enhance damage output and reduce skill cooldowns, making her a Hunter who maximizes Defense-based damage through rapid skill reuse.

SOYEON, armed with two pistols

Next is SOYEON, i-dle’s leader and main rapper, portrayed in-game as an SSR Wind attribute Ranger Hunter. She dominates the battlefield with dual pistols, raining bullets on enemies.

Her damage scales with her Attack stat, so equipping Attack-boosting artifacts is highly recommended. SOYEON’s skills also include traits that enhance her own or her allies’ damage, making her a formidable force in any party.

Simply put, she’s an aggressive Hunter who excels at dealing constant high DPS.

Wugui, specializing in hand-to-hand combat

And YUQI, i-dle’s main dancer and sub-vocalist, enters as an SSR Fire attribute Tank Hunter. She delivers rapid punches and kicks in dazzling martial arts combos. YUQI’s damage scales with her Max HP, so equipping HP-boosting artifacts is key.

Her skills and traits focus on reducing enemies’ Break Gauge, prolonging Break states, and increasing damage to Breaked enemies, making her a Break-specialized powerhouse.

Don’t miss your chance to meet i-dle!

Hunters now have access to exclusive weapons that provide extra stats and skill enhancements : Blazing Flash (SOYEON), Purple Butterfly’s Dream (MINNIE), Righteous Sun (YUQI). Each character also receives two new skins and their own original story and dossier, adding up to six new skins in total.

Additionally, the game’s original SSR Hunter, ‘Cha Hae-In, the Pure Sword Princess,’ now has a new K-pop girl group-inspired skin. To celebrate the full i-dle lineup in the game, the Full-Group Comeback Special! event is now live.

Players can enjoy daily logins, mini-games, and special event stories. Part 2 of the event story allows even those who completed Part 1 to replay for extra rewards.

Cartenon Temple: Co-op Event

The Beginning of Solo Leveling!
- Cartenon Temple

Cartenon Temple is where E-rank Hunter Sung Jinwoo barely survived and ultimately became the legendary Hunter.

Now fully grown, he returns to uncover secrets of leveling up, with a major battle forming the backdrop for the new Co-op PvE event. Cartenon Temple: Co-op Event consists of three dungeon types: Guild Boss, Solo Dungeon, and 2-player Multiplayer Dungeon. 

Among them, the 2-player Multiplayer Dungeon, “Proof: The Architect Co-op Battle”, allows two players to hunt monsters together in real time. The 2-player mode, Proof: The Architect Co-op Battle, allows two players to hunt monsters together in real time via random matchmaking or party creation with guild members and friends.

Story content also expands with Chapters 26–29 in Reverse Mode (Normal and Hard) and Chapters 12–15 in Expert difficulty. The Guild Boss menu introduces a new Giant Statue boss, rotating with previous bosses like Fachtna and the Ant Queen, giving players repeated opportunities to challenge it.

Shadow Enforcer: Dispatch Your Shadows

A new feature, Shadow Enforcer, lets players assign missions to their shadows to get rewards. This content unlocks after advancing to Monarch of Shadows. Additionally, four new Blessing Stones are also added (Empowerment: Acrobat, Finisher Touch, Survival: Weapon Resonance, Life in Motion)

Other updates include increased Battle Tier caps, adjustments to certain Instance Dungeons and Encore Missions, and convenience improvements for Skills and Artifacts. The August 28 update marks the full arrival of i-dle collaboration Hunters. With all members now in-game, players can dive into the content even more enthusiastically!

We checked out the August 28 update, which focused on the Solo Leveling collaboration with the full group of i-dle. Having all the members together makes the collaboration content even more fun and exciting to enjoy!
