How to Boost Total Power Fast in Solo Leveling Arise: Ultimate Gems Guide ~ HaploGamingChef

Introduction - How to Boost Total Power Fast

Want to reach the next power tier in Solo Leveling Arise without grinding endlessly? The latest gem system update is a game-changer. With new gem types, ranks, and the revamped Battlefield of Chaos, it's now easier than ever to strengthen your hunters, shadows, and overall team power.

In this guide, we’ll walk through:

How to use gem fragments effectively
The best gem types for stat optimization
Smart strategies for fusion and promotion
How the new gem slots (Gem 2) give you serious power boosts
Where and how to grind for gems and materials

Whether you're a veteran or just breaking into higher-tier content, this breakdown will help you make the most of the gem mechanics. Let’s get right into it.

Understanding the New Gem Expansion in Solo Leveling Arise

The latest gem expansion adds a new layer to character customization. Players now have access to Gem Page 2, a separate grid where additional gems can be slotted for increased stat gains. These aren't just cosmetic upgrades — even a rank 4 gem can contribute over 100+ total power when swapped strategically. With new gem ranks and categories added, this update allows hunters and shadows to scale more efficiently across higher content.

To unlock these new power boosts, you'll want to dive into Battlefield of Chaos. This mode introduces updated floors and additional daily rewards, making it essential for collecting Fragments of the Deceased (renamed based on the Chaos stage, like Fragment of the Breaking Dawn). These fragments are used in gem promotions, letting you upgrade lower-tier gems to rank 6 — the current highest — and create highly specialized builds.

Gem Farming: Why Battlefield of Chaos Is Mandatory Now

If you've skipped Battlefield of Chaos in the past, it’s time to reconsider. The most valuable items for gem upgrades now drop here, including:

Promotion Fragments
Elemental-specific trophies
Essence stones and gold bonuses

Each Chaos map has elemental weaknesses. For example:

Battlefield of the Dead requires dark-element hunters
Breaking Dawn favors light-element hunters
Tyrant Ruins is weak to fire

To earn 3-star rewards, bring two or more hunters matching the required element for that stage. These runs not only increase your power tier but also unlock more essence stones and ranking rewards. As of now, five new floors have been added to Chaos maps, giving both early and endgame players new opportunities to farm.

Best Gems to Use for Each Stat Category (Gem Page 2)

With the release of Gem Page 2, optimizing your setup becomes critical. Unlike the original gem slots, these new slots offer deeper customization by focusing on specific stat categories. Here's a breakdown of recommended gem types by color:

Blue Gems: Prioritize additional HP for better survivability.
Red Gems: Focus on attack power and attack % for maximizing damage.
Green Gems: Choose defense and defense % to reduce incoming damage.
Purple Gems: Always go for MP consumption reduction to keep skills active longer.
Orange Gems: Use precision gems to boost your hit rate — especially important since hunter precision can't be raised via stat points.

A key tip here is to aim for 90%+ precision on key units like Sung Jin-Woo. For example, if your precision stat sits at 89%, just a few higher-rank gems in the orange slot can close that gap. It’s a small change with a major impact, especially in high-end raids or workshop battles.

Swapping and Upgrading Gems: When and How to Do It

Swapping out lower-tier gems with higher ones results in immediate power gains. Even upgrading a single rank 3 gem to a rank 4 can boost your total power by over 150 points. To check results in real-time:

Note your current total power.
Replace one lower-rank gem.
Watch the power stat jump — even minor boosts add up over 10+ slots.

However, don’t just go for raw numbers. Prioritize stat synergy. For example:

Keep precision gems in orange slots even if critical damage or defensive penetration gives a slightly higher power score.
Focus on balanced builds over pure DPS or tank stats — especially important in PvE modes like Workshop of Brilliant Light.

Gem synergy helps hunters and shadows perform better across different challenges. Every upgrade not only raises power but also improves actual battle performance, from survivability to skill uptime.

Gem Fusion: Maximizing Power Without Wasting Gold

Fusion is where your gem upgrades get real — but it's also where resource management becomes critical. Creating higher-rank gems via fusion requires:

Multiple lower-rank gems
A huge amount of gold
A bit of luck (fusion outcomes are RNG-based)

Currently, Netmarble is generously offering millions in gold through daily missions and events. If you're consistent, you can earn around 3 million gold in under 3 weeks. Still, each fusion attempt can cost 100,000+ gold, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get the rank or stat category you want.

Tips for smart fusions:

Only fuse when you have at least 3–4 duplicates to maximize your odds.
Use fusion refinement options only for rank 6 gems, and only if you're drowning in essence stones.
Avoid fusing high-tier precision gems unless you have spares — they're irreplaceable.

Refinement Strategy: When to Use Promotion Materials

Gem promotion works similarly to skill research for runes and blessing stones. You'll use materials like Fragments of the Deceased along with the gem you want to promote and a duplicate of the target rank.

Here’s how it works:

Select a base gem (e.g. Rank 5 additional defense).
Add promotion fragments (collected in Chaos mode).
Use a dupe of the same gem type or category.
Pay the gold cost (typically 100,000).

Keep in mind:

Grayed-out gems can't be promoted — you lack the proper dupe or target type.
Colored-in gems mean you have a valid promotion path available.

Promotion lets you move beyond fusion randomness and aim for exact builds, but it’s resource-intensive. Only promote once you’re confident it fits your overall setup or if you're pushing to break into the next battle tier.

Why Precision Gems Are Meta Right Now

Among all gem types, precision gems have emerged as the meta-defining choice — especially in the orange category. That’s because precision is the only stat that cannot be directly increased through hunter upgrades. The only way to push it closer to the 90–99% optimal range is through gem placement.

Why this matters:

Missing attacks in endgame content (like Workshop of Brilliant Light) drastically reduces your DPS.
Precision increases hit consistency, especially against high-evasion enemies or bosses.
It’s more impactful in terms of performance than critical rate or damage in many scenarios.

Even though swapping in critical damage or defense penetration gems might increase your total power score, you’ll often lose out in real combat scenarios. So, stick with precision gems in orange slots and build around that stability.

Final Notes on Resource Planning and Upcoming Content

With new gem systems and promotions in play, it's important to plan your gold, essence stones, and fusion materials wisely:

Save essence stones for actual upgrades and essential rune research.
Grind Battlefield of Chaos daily, since it's the only way to collect promotion fragments consistently.
Avoid overspending on refinement or fusion for now — high-tier content doesn't yet demand excessive power.

Right now, most players — even F2P ones — are clearing hard mode Workshop of Brilliant Light, the toughest dungeon currently available. That means chasing perfect gems isn’t required just yet. Use this period to stockpile resources and upgrade smartly based on your available builds and hunter strengths.

Conclusion

The revamped gem system in Solo Leveling Arise offers one of the fastest and most efficient ways to boost your total power. With new gem slots, promotion mechanics, and fusion options, optimizing your build has never been more important. Focus on farming Battlefield of Chaos, select gem types that align with your hunter’s strengths, and prioritize precision to maintain consistency in high-end battles.

Don’t rush into promotions unless you have the right materials. Use the time now to gather gold, essence stones, and fragments so you’re ready when the next challenge drops. The smarter your gem setup, the faster you’ll climb power tiers — without overspending or grinding inefficiently.
