This article contains major spoilers for the Solo Leveling series.

Solo Leveling’s biggest highlight is its main character, Sung Jinwoo, who starts off as one of the weakest hunters, even among the E Ranks. However, by the end of the series, Jinwoo grows so much that he ends up becoming the very strongest. Jinwoo becomes a God, capable of rivaling even the biggest of monsters in the Solo Leveling world. All that said, Sung Jinwoo couldn’t have done it without the powerful abilities that he has acquired throughout his incredible run in the Solo Leveling series.

Ruler’s Authority

Ruler's Authority is a power that only Rulers, and humans who have been granted their powers, can make use of. Jinwoo only gets to truly unlock this power during his battle against Kandiaru's statues. This ability allows Jinwoo to basically use telekinesis to control objects and even the air surrounding him, making it overpowered in its own way.

Poison and Disease Immunity

Sung Jinwoo develops the ability to resist most poisons quite early on in Solo Leveling. Jinwoo gained the ability to detoxify through the System, and since then, no kind of poison has had any effect on him. His body immediately detects the poison once it hits his bloodstream and deals with it. Through longevity, Jinwoo not only resists poisons now, but also all illnesses and diseases.

Immense Speed And Strength

By the end of Solo Leveling, Sung Jinwoo is basically the strongest and fastest character there is. Jinwoo’s speed and strength manage to reach new heights. Jinwoo can outspeed all of his enemies and land deadly attacks before they can even blink. Jinwoo’s strength is such that he can beat most characters with just the strength of his fists, pushing back and busting through even overpowered attacks with them.

Heightened Regeneration

Sung Jinwoo started his journey as a weakling, and he almost died at the beginning of the Solo Leveling story. However, eventually, he developed powerful abilities, such as regeneration. Jinwoo's regeneration is actually quite potent. Jinwoo can basically heal from any wound or injury, and do so quite fast. The only injury that he wouldn’t be able to heal from is an immediately fatal one.

Monarch Domain

Monarch's Domain – Solo Leveling Season 2  -Arise from the Shadow- Episode 6

The Monarch Domain, as the name implies, is a buff ability used by the Monarchs of the Solo Leveling world, including Sung Jinwoo.

The Monarch Domain allows Jinwoo to expand his control over a certain zone, and inside of it, all of his shadows get a huge buff in power — a 50% increase. If Jinwoo’s Shadow Army was strong before, with this ability, they gain the power to fight beyond their full potential.

Black Heart

Sung Jinwoo reaches new heights in Solo Leveling after his power-up in the Double Dungeon arc. This power-up is known as the Black Heart, a gift he received from the previous Shadow Monarch, Ashborn.

The Black Heart makes it so that Sung Jinwoo has Infinite Mana. This takes his Shadow Army to a whole other level, with no more limits on how much he can summon or regenerate.

Shadow Army

In Solo Leveling, Jinwoo becomes the new Shadow Monarch, and with that, he unlocks his ultimate ability to build a Shadow Army. Jinwoo gains the power to extract shadows from corpses, store them, and fully control them. Jinwoo can teleport via his shadows, giving him a way to instantaneously reach desired destinations. His Shadows have also been of huge help more than once in Solo Leveling, and he keeps building it up with more powerful Shadows.

The Power To Level Up

Undoubtedly, the greatest ability Jinwoo has access to in Solo Leveling is that of leveling up. Unlike other Hunters, Jinwoo has infinite potential, and isn’t stuck on his initial power levels. The power to level up took Jinwoo from one of the weakest Hunters to a God-level being by the end of Solo Leveling.

Solo Leveling has 25 episodes available to watch right now. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll. Fans can get more Solo Leveling content via the Manhwa.
