Complete Solo Leveling: Arise Fire Guild Boss Guide – Pro Build Tips

 

Join the Supporter Program Before Anything Else

Before diving into battle prep, it's essential to rejoin the Supporter Program. Many players forget that support resets periodically. If you skip this step, you'll miss upcoming codes loaded with Essence Stones, Map Extracts, and other valuable resources. It's free, and it gives you access to limited-time bonuses, so be sure to use the link provided in the official channels.

Apply to a Top Guild for Better Rewards

Looking to maximize your performance and rewards? Join a high-ranking guild like Zapirus. They're actively recruiting, and being in a top guild makes a difference when it comes to coordinated runs and sharing optimal builds. Head to the official Discord, click the Open a Ticket button, and send in your application to join one of the active communities.

Setting Up the Fire Team Core: Prioritize Connie

When building your fire team, Connie needs to be your highest-powered character. This ensures the Angel White Set bonus activates for her, granting a crucial 8% damage boost. This bonus applies regardless of which team the set is equipped on — just make sure Connie has the most power overall.

Equip Assil with the Angel White Set if needed, but again, make sure the power totals work in Connie’s favor.

Make Sure Connie Has Highest Crit Rate Too

Your team’s crit rate management is key. Connie must have the highest crit rate across both teams. This allows her to benefit from multiple buffs, especially from Assil’s weapon, which grants a solid +2400 attack. This stat directly enhances Connie’s overall DPS, which is vital for melting through the Yanqu boss quickly.

Recommended Fire Team Builds

Here's a quick breakdown of what gear to use on each member:

• Connie: Equip 2 Curse to Win a Kill and 4 Expert sets.

• Gina: Use 4 Guardian and 4 Soul’s Blessing.

• Assil: Go for a full Greed Set for added crit rate and crit damage.

• Choi: Combine Curse Set with Obsidian Set.

• Libor: Just equip the Caracquish Set. She’s not a damage dealer — survivability is enough.

• Ushume: Equip both Obsidian and Angel White sets. Add a bit of attack to her gear for some extra team-wide DPS.

Role Priorities Within the Team

In terms of combat importance for maximizing fire team output:

• Top Priority: Connie

• Second: Assil

• Third: Choi

• Fourth & Fifth: Ushume and Gina (equal priority)

• Libor: Not prioritized — just keep her alive to apply the 15% damage taken debuff via her Core Attacks.

Best Blessing Stones and Runes for Janu

For Janu, choose Surprise Attack Rune for an easy 20% damage boost. Timing can affect this rune’s performance, but if your rotation is tight, it's worth it.

If your team lacks consistent uptime, Thunderstorm Rune works too — the boss is weak to wind, making it a decent alternative.

Also, the SWAT Rune delivers substantial damage if executed with proper timing. Choose based on your confidence with skill rotation.

Skills and Blessing Zones Setup

For skills and blessing zones, copy this optimized setup:

• Use Boss Slayer over Weakness Exploiter. Because the Fan of the Fire Demon already gives tons of elemental damage, Boss Slayer is more efficient.

• Use Life Aggressive Offense and Damage Reduction Blessings to enhance your survivability and maximize Gina’s Guardian Step Buff.

Critical Core Setup Tips

Cores are often overlooked, but they matter:

• Connie should have all core slots filled, especially the +5% attack core for fire teams.

• All hunters benefit from this, so make sure to apply it across the fire setup.

• If any hunter suffers from mana issues, equip the purple core for Mana Regen.

• The middle core isn't crucial for most, but Connie should run it to ensure she always gains a shield, activating Gina’s 10% Guardian Step Bonus.

Stat Recommendations for Key Characters

Stats differ based on gear and progression, but here are general targets:

• Sung Jinwoo: Aim for 150 Intelligence, only achievable if you have 24% Transcendent Reawakening. Without it, you’ll need more INT from other sources.

• Connie: Needs top crit rate, attack, and crit damage across the team. Shoot for 200%+ crit damage, damage increase, and around 2,000 mana regen.

• Assil: High attack and damage increase are vital. Keep crit rate lower than Connie’s.

• Ushume: Add some mana reduction to ensure skill uptime.

• Choi: Focus on attack and damage increase. No crit stats — Choi can’t crit.

• Libor: Ignore her stats. Keep her alive to maintain the boss debuff.

Artifacts That Elevate Your Fire Team Performance

Don’t overlook the artifacts in your setup. Two are particularly essential for this fire team build:

• Phoenix Soul: Grants extra survivability and enhances damage potential over time.

• Fan of the Fire Demon: This artifact massively increases elemental weakness damage, making it one of the best tools for boss battles like Yanqu. It’s the reason why Boss Slayer is prioritized over elemental-based buffs — you're already covered.

Core Management for Sustained Performance

Proper core selection ensures your team never runs out of mana and keeps their buff uptime consistent.

• On Connie: Equip a core that applies a shield when using basic skills. This triggers Gina’s Guardian Step, giving a team-wide 10% damage boost.

• On others: Equip mana regeneration cores if you’re noticing issues during boss runs. A single skill pause can mean a massive drop in damage output.

• For fire team synergy, the +5% attack core is non-negotiable. Make sure every damage-dealing hunter has this.

Fine-Tuning Your Hunter Priorities

Let’s go deeper on hunter roles:

• Connie is your main carry. She should have your best gear, best cores, and best artifacts.

• Assil plays support-DPS. Her gear is critical because her weapon directly buffs Connie.

• Choi helps in raw power output — focus his build on attack and damage boosts, skipping crit.

• Ushume and Gina support with buffs, moderate DPS, and survivability.

• Libor is a stat-stick — her job is to stay alive and apply the 15% damage taken debuff.

Focus your resources accordingly and don’t overinvest in low-priority characters.

Skill Rotation Strategy for Maximum Boss Damage

Your damage output isn’t just based on stats — rotation makes a difference. Here's a simplified version of what you should be aiming for:

• Open with Connie’s burst abilities, especially when buffs from Gina and Assil are active.

• Follow with Choi's cooldowns — his attacks, while not crit-based, hit hard.

• Apply Libor’s debuff early to maximize damage during your burst window.

• Use Assil to refresh buffs and then immediately follow with your strongest hitters.

• Make sure Ushume’s skills are timed to align with these windows. Her passives and light damage contribute to consistent damage flow.

Blessing Zones That Actually Matter

Some blessing zones seem useful but aren't optimal for fire builds. Here are the ones that matter:

• Life Aggressive Offense: Activates Gina’s shield-based damage buff.

• Damage Reduction: Keeps low-defense units like Libor alive during AOE bursts.

• Boss Slayer Zone: This is superior to elemental boost zones for this build since your gear already covers that area.

These blessing zones maintain consistent uptime and keep your hunters from being knocked out mid-fight.

Why Weakness Exploiter Isn’t Needed

In this fire team setup, elemental weakness damage is already maxed out thanks to artifacts like the Fan of the Fire Demon. This makes Weakness Exploiter redundant.

Instead, running Boss Slayer provides an across-the-board bonus to damage against Yanqu, without relying on elemental mechanics. It’s more consistent and better suited for this encounter.

Stats to Aim For Across the Board

For an effective guild boss guide, these are the general stat thresholds:

• Crit Rate: Only Connie should have the highest.

• Crit Damage: Aim for 200–250% across DPS units.

• Attack: Always maximize this.

• Damage Increase: The higher, the better — aim for 50%+.

• Mana Regen: Keep it around 2,000 for Connie and other high-use characters.

Don’t worry about defense penetration — it's not impactful against Yanqu’s mechanics.

Optimizing Mana Management

Skills won't fire if you're low on mana. For fire team members:

• Equip purple mana cores on units that burn through their skills fast (e.g., Connie and Ushume).

• If you notice downtime during combat, re-evaluate your core or blessing zone setup. Sustained DPS is more important than burst with dead windows.

• Make sure Connie, especially, doesn’t dip under her mana threshold — this ruins uptime and limits the shield trigger.

Understanding Choi's Unique Role

Choi is powerful, but limited:

• He can’t crit, so avoid crit stats entirely.

• Focus purely on attack, damage increase, and mana uptime.

• His value lies in his reliable, stable damage, which is why he's third in your priority list.

• Don’t pair him with crit-based gear — it's a waste of your stat budget.

Libor’s Only Job: Stay Alive

Libor has one purpose — stay alive and apply the charm debuff to increase boss damage taken.

• You don’t need to optimize her attack, crit, or damage stats.

• Just equip her with defensive gear and survivability-focused cores.

• Her Caracquish Set is fine. No need to reroll or enhance it heavily.

• Keep her safe from AOE and don’t waste heals on others if she’s about to die — her debuff is vital for the fire team strategy.

Artifact Synergy and Why It Matters

When combining Phoenix Soul with Fan of the Fire Demon, you’re covering both survivability and raw elemental power. These two artifacts complement each other well and eliminate the need for elemental-focused blessings or cores.

The Fan provides all the elemental weakness damage you need, while the Phoenix Soul gives your team enough breathing room during burst windows and incoming boss skills. This synergy is the core of why you can skip typical options like Weakness Exploiter.

Guardian Step Bonus: Don’t Miss It

One of the most overlooked mechanics in this Solo Leveling Arise fire team build is Gina’s Guardian Step Bonus. Here’s how to make sure it’s always active:

• Connie’s basic skill counts as an ultimate, so it reliably applies a shield.

• That shield activates Guardian Step, granting a 10% team-wide damage boost.

• Make sure Connie uses skills frequently and has high mana regen so she never misses a trigger.

• Gina doesn’t need to be heavily stat-invested — just ensure her skills are up and her cores are set to survive.

Full Damage Loadout Recap

Your fire team damage is made up of a balance of stats, rotation, and synergy. For best results, check that your setup includes:

• Highest Power & Crit Rate on Connie

• Proper gear combinations on all members

• Optimal artifact pairing

• High crit damage and attack on DPS units

• Cores focused on mana and attack boosts

• Functional rune and blessing zone alignment

• A safe, alive Libor maintaining the debuff

• Guardian Step consistently active via Connie’s skills

This holistic view ensures consistent and high guild boss damage output.

Practice Rotation Timing Before Real Runs

Don’t waste energy or tickets on a failed run. Instead, do a few test runs using your current build and:

• Practice Connie’s skill timings around when buffs are applied

• Ensure Libor survives the first 30 seconds — the most crucial window for the debuff

• Track how long it takes for your mana to drop off, then adjust cores accordingly

• Evaluate Gina’s shield uptime. If it’s not consistent, rework Connie’s skill rotation

This can save a lot of frustration when trying to climb guild rankings or beat a damage target.

Choosing the Right Blessings for Survivability

Depending on your team’s survivability, adjust blessings to keep everyone alive without sacrificing damage:

• Life Aggressive Offense is mandatory for Gina’s Guardian Step

• Damage Reduction is important for Libor and Gina, especially if you're under-geared

• If you’re dying too early, consider reducing one DPS rune and replacing it with a defensive option

Surviving the full run is more important than raw damage in the first half. Full damage output comes from duration + uptime.

Common Mistakes That Hurt Your Damage

These mistakes are still far too common, even among experienced players:

• Forgetting to rejoin the Supporter Program, losing access to limited-time codes

• Giving Assil or others higher power than Connie, disabling the Angel White buff

• Ignoring mana issues, resulting in downtime for key abilities

• Misusing Weakness Exploiter when Boss Slayer is clearly better for this setup

• Prioritizing stats on Libor instead of just keeping her alive

• Using crit-based sets on Choi, who can’t crit

Fixing these issues can increase your damage output by 15-30% or more, even without changing gear.

How to Track Stat Priorities as You Upgrade

Stat allocation should always reflect current team balance. Here’s what to look for as you evolve your build:

• If Connie loses her top crit rate or power, reassign gear from other characters

• Check crit damage scaling after each artifact or core enhancement

• Mana thresholds change as blessing zones and runes evolve — track this with each gear update

• Don’t just upgrade items — watch how each upgrade shifts your overall team synergy

This helps maintain the optimal setup as you gain new resources and fire team gear.

Efficient Use of Upgrade Resources

Upgrading everything evenly is a mistake. Focus your upgrades like this:

• Connie: Max everything — gear, cores, artifacts, runes

• Assil: Upgrade gear, especially weapon, and any artifacts that boost Connie

• Choi: Upgrade damage gear only — ignore crit lines

• Gina: Prioritize survivability and cooldowns

• Ushume: Moderate investment in attack and mana regen

• Libor: Bare minimum — survivability gear only

Spreading resources too thinly kills damage efficiency during boss battles.

Run Duration and Boss Behavior Awareness

Understanding Yanqu’s patterns helps you avoid major wipes:

• His AOE patterns usually trigger every 20–25 seconds — use damage reduction blessings accordingly

• Apply Libor’s debuff right before his first burst phase for best results

• Plan your rotation around his weakened windows, especially when Fan of the Fire Demon is active

• Time shield buffs and runes like Surprise Attack for max uptime during boss vulnerability

Beating the boss isn’t just stats — it’s execution. A great team with bad timing still underperforms.

Final Reminders Before You Start Your Run

Before heading into your next guild boss run in Solo Leveling Arise, double-check the essentials:

• Did you rejoin the Supporter Program?

• Is Connie the highest power and crit unit on both teams?

• Is Libor equipped to survive, not deal damage?

• Do you have the Phoenix Soul + Fire Demon Fan equipped?

• Are your blessing zones and runes set correctly?

With everything locked in, you’re ready to hit max damage potential.

Conclusion: Bring the Heat to the Yanqu Boss

This fire team build is designed for consistent, high-damage output in the Solo Leveling Arise guild boss battle against Yanqu. By focusing on power and crit priority for Connie, optimizing support through Gina, Assil, and Ushume, and maintaining survivability for Libor, you’re set up for reliable performance.

Avoiding common mistakes — like wrong rune choices, underestimating cores, and mismanaging mana — can be the difference between an average and top-tier run. Don’t forget to rejoin the Supporter Program to claim time-sensitive bonuses and stay aligned with new game updates.

Master the timing, rotation, and stat balance, and you’ll find yourself climbing the ranks quickly while contributing maximum value to your guild.
