The 7 strongest shadows, ranked by strength

This article contains spoilers for Solo leveling.

No other undead entity would come close to Sung Jinwoo's shadows Solo leveling in terms of strength and destructive power. While the Shadow Army is a mix of high and low level soldiers, their combined strength amplifies Jinwoo's dominance on the battlefield in unimaginable ways.

This forgotten solo leveling character is the first to know about Jin-Woo's ability to level up

For the first time ever, Sung Jin-Woo reveals that he can reach the level of this forgotten character.

Interestingly, there are shadows in Jinwoo's army whose individual strength is much greater than the others. They can certainly act as an extension of Jinwoo himself with the ability to turn the tide of battle by themselves. It's even possible that he can defeat S-rank hunters with his overwhelming power. With that, it's time to explore the most powerful shadows under Jinwoo's command Solo leveling.

Jim

Jim can take down a giant with a single hit.

Jima is another underrated shadow in Jinwoo's army, probably due to his lack of exposure and late appearance in the series, just like Greed. However, underestimating Jim's power would be a mistake, as Boss Naga's shadow can easily take down the giant.

In addition, Jima has a general rating, making him a top tier shade ahead of elite knights and knights like Iron, Tank, and Kaisel. If he got more fights like Beru and Bellion, Jim's strength would match his impressive position on the general.

Tusk

Tusk's strongest asset is his destructive magic and shamanistic abilities.

No other shadow can rival Tusk's magical prowess, though he falls behind Greed and Kamish in terms of sheer power. If we stripped him of the Orb of Avarice and its magic, Tusk would lose much of his fighting ability. In such a weakened state, even S-rank hunters like Cha Hae-In and Thomas Andre would have a better chance of defeating him.

Still, Tusk's destructive use of magic makes him a deadly asset in battle. His anthems are incredibly versatile, allowing him to wield almost any type of spell a fan can imagine. At the end of the series, Tusk can easily lead three dragons, making him a bigger force on the battlefield.

Greed

Greed is much better than most S-rank hunters.

Greed is one of the most underrated shadows in Jinwoo's army despite his general rank. After all, he is the shadow of Hwang Dong-Soo, who has stubbornly antagonized Jinwoo. Solo leveling.

However, Greed is far different from his former self, showing deep respect for Jinwoo and sincere remorse for the wrongs he once committed against his master in human life. Plus, he appears late in the series, so he doesn't get a chance to make an impact on the reader.

During the Monarchs War arc, while most of the Shadows had trouble breaking free from Sillad's Ice Prison, Greed only had to flex his biceps to break through. This phenomenal display of strength is enough to get him high on the list, aside from the fact that he was a former S-rank hunter who received an upgrade from Norma Selner.

Kamish

Kamish can destroy multiple enemies at once.

It's a shame that Kamish never gets a chance to show off his skills Solo leveling after his brief stint as Jinwoo's temporary shadow in the International Guild Conference Arc. He deserves an intense anime episode, either a special or an OVA, where he can shine as humanity's worst scourge. After all, it took five S-rank (now national level) hunters to apprehend him.

As a red dragon, Kamish has tremendous physical strength and devastating firepower. While it's unclear how strong Kamish is in Antares' army, the fact that he can level the battlefield and destroy multiple enemies at once suggests a strength that matches even the shadows of General Sung Jinwoo.

Beru can clear high level dungeons by himself.

Beru is the first shadow in Jinwoo's army to awaken at the general, placing him at the top of the army after the Jeju Island arc. Over time, alongside Jinwoo, he grew stronger and evolved into a reliable shadow capable of commanding a shadow army.

In fact, Beru can effortlessly clear an A-class dungeon that's teeming with two-headed ogres, death knights, and even an Arch Lich as the final boss. This feat usually requires a team of A and B hunters, but Beru can easily clear the dungeon without support.

Furthermore, Beru can outrun a hunter like Cha Hae-In, crushing her sword effortlessly and giving her no time to react. In the War of the Monarchs arc, Beru even defied the Insect Queen and sliced her between her fingers. His strength grew so immeasurably that he could even break free from Sillad's ice prison.

Igris

Igris at full strength can terrify a monarch.

In swordsmanship, Igris reigns even over Bellion with the rank of Grand Marshal. But even without the sword, Igris is strong enough to overpower Sung Jinwoo before becoming a necromancer and gaining the title of Shadow Monarch.

After joining Jinwoo as a shadow, his most notable achievement was holding Frost Monarch Sillad at bay and buying time for Jinwoo to return.

Although Igris's power was downplayed most of the time Solo levelingCha Hae-In defeated the Red Knight in a solo match and was overpowered by Tusk and Beru, removing Jinwoo's limiters restored him to full power. By the end of the year Solo levelingIgris became stronger than Beru and the others, except Bellion.

Bellion

Bellion is the strongest non-ruler/non-monarch in solo leveling.

Bellion is the only shadow in Sung Jinwoo's army to ever hold the rank of grand marshal Solo levelingplacing him at the very top among the thousands of soldiers under the Shadow Monarch's command. He served not only as Ashborn's right-hand man, but also Jinwoo's, which spoke volumes for his unparalleled authority and power. Additionally, Bellion is also the strongest non-ruler and non-monarch character in the series.

As a Grand Marshal, Bellion has abilities almost on par with Monarchs, which explains why he can easily defeat a Shadow Marshal like Beru in the series' final story arcs. The Ant King's shadow is no match for someone like Bellion, so it takes barely any effort to flush him down.
