Solo Leveling:Arise Figure Guide: Best Statues and Pedestal Setup

To maximize your damage output using the Figure system in Solo Leveling:Arise, prioritize crafting offensive statues that provide percentage-based Attack, Critical Hit Damage, and Defense Penetration, then manually assign them to pedestals that amplify those same attributes. Do not rely on the auto-equip feature, which frequently misallocates defensive figures to prime offensive slots.

How Figure Showcase Bonuses Work

The Figure showcase grants permanent, account-wide stat bonuses that apply across all game modes, including story stages, the Battlefield of Time, Guild Boss battles, and the Workshop of Brilliant Light. These bonuses simultaneously benefit Sung Jinwoo, your support hunters, and your shadow summons through two distinct mechanics:

• Placement Buffs: Statues slotted into active display pedestals grant direct attribute boosts based on the figure's archetype, rarity, and upgrade tier.
• Collection Milestones: Acquiring and registering figures increases your account collection score. This unlocks cumulative passive thresholds that remain permanently active even when a statue is not on display.

Because display pedestals are limited, treat your active showcase as a dedicated combat loadout rather than cosmetic storage.

Figure Upgrade and Crafting Priorities

Percentage-based offensive multipliers scale far better into endgame content than flat defensive attributes. When spending crafting materials, focus on figures tied to burst damage and high-scaling offensive stats.

Target percentage-based Attack and Defense Penetration figures first. While flat stats offer noticeable gains early on, percentage increases yield significantly higher returns once Sung Jinwoo and your hunters equip high-tier weapons and artifacts.

Pedestal Assignment Strategy

Pedestals often feature specific alignment synergies or category multipliers that enhance the stats of the figure placed on them. Stacking figures onto matching pedestals creates a compounded stat return.

1. Check pedestal bonus categories: Inspect each display slot to see which stat archetype it enhances before assigning a figure.
2. Match primary stats to slot bonuses: Place your highest-tier Attack-percentage figure onto an Attack-amplifying pedestal to maximize raw offensive scaling.
3. Avoid auto-equipping: The automatic assignment function often slots defensive or low-rarity figures into prime damage pedestals, reducing your overall offensive potential.
4. Swap for targeted content: When preparing for element-specific encounters, such as elemental Guild Bosses or trial stages, swap in an Elemental Damage figure matching the target boss weakness.

Resource Management and Milestone Targets

Upgrading statues requires gold, specialized crafting currencies, rare sculpting stones, and conversion tokens. Spreading these resources evenly across every statue creates severe progression bottlenecks.

• Target milestone tiers: Upgrade primary damage figures to their key milestone ranks to unlock their initial percentage multipliers before investing in secondary options.
• Cap investment on low-tier statues: Level common and low-rarity figures only as far as necessary to claim basic collection score milestones. Do not spend premium enhancement materials on low-tier units.
• Reserve rare items for high-rarity figures: Save your rare sculpting stones and conversion tokens for high-rarity hunter and boss statues that possess higher baseline stats.
