Best Charlotte Solo Leveling Arise build: Stats, skills, weapons, Artifacts

Charlotte has proven to be one of the most powerful DPS units since her release in Solo Leveling: Arise. However, it’s essential to build the hunter effectively to maximize the character’s potential.

Charlotte was added by Netmarble as the Dark Element Mage sister of Harper, as part of the September 12 patch update. After being made available to draw a week later in Arise, the new hunter has impressed with her high damage-dealing attacks and especially her formidable Ultimate Skill, despite some clunky AI abilities.

Here’s a guide on the best skills, weapons, and Artifacts required to construct the best possible build for the SSR hunter character in Arise.

Best Charlotte build in Solo Leveling: Arise

The table below lists Charlotte’s optimal attributes in Arise, including her top stats, abilities, weapons, and Artifacts. The full build guide below goes into much detail about the thinking behind these decisions.

In addition, we’ve included some substitutes, so you can still construct a strong build even if you haven’t yet obtained certain items such as her hunter-exclusive weapon or any other of the top choices for the character.

Best Charlotte stats

Defense, Damage Increase and Critical Hit Damage are the most important stats to prioritize while making the ultimate Charlotte build.

Netmarble / Dexerto

Charlotte’s best stats give her strong survivability, as well as incredible DPS output.

All of Charlotte’s attacks scale off her Defense, similar to Go Gunhee, and these are capable of inflicting enormous amounts of Critical Hit Damage and overall damage thanks to her skills. With you naturally needing to buff her Defense, she also is tough to beat on the battlefield.

You will therefore need to make sure you equip and constantly upgrade all Defense heavy, Critical Hit, and Damage Increase buffing items to ensure high DPS output.

Best Charlotte skills

Take This is the best skill Charlotte can use due to the Ultimate Skill having the ability to inflict a massive 3803% of her Defense as Dark Damage. This makes it one of the highest damage-dealing skills in Solo Leveling: Arise.

The hunter centers around performing her Ultimate Skill, similar to her sister Harper. However, Charlotte’s Take This deals more than double the damage, and your whole skill strategy must focus on activating it.

Netmarble / Dexerto

Charlotte’s Basic Attacks can conflict some serious damage compared to other hunters.

Her Basic Damage is also insanely high compared to other hunters so you want to boost her Basic Attack skills as much as you can and continuously spam them while attacking during your fights. Not only will this be vital for constantly dealing high DPS, but also for charging up your Ultimate Skill’s Power Gauge.

This is different from most other hunters, who typically have weak Basic Attacks, which are low priority when it comes to leveling up and attacking opponents.

Here is a complete breakdown of all of Harper’s best skills and their benefits:

Best Charlotte Weapons

Prankster is the greatest weapon that Charlotte can use in Solo Leveling: Arise. This is her hunter-exclusive weapon which grants unique effects and therefore is far superior to anything else she can equip when fighting enemies.

Netmarble / Dexerto

Charlotte’s Prankster doll is the hunter’s best weapon.

Prankster’s main advantage is that it boosts the Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage of her main abilities, particularly her Ultimate Skill, but also buffs her Defense.

However, if it’s unavailable, the Steel Bow is a worthy secondary option to give a Critical Hit Damage increase, and the Sturdy Shark Water Gun is another option to target the Defense stat while buffing your DPS output for her skills.

Best Charlotte Artifacts

The full eight piece Burning Curse set is the best Artifact set you can use with Charlotte in Arise. By equipping the entire set, including both four pieces of Armor and Jewelry, you can take advantage of the lucrative eight-piece benefits.

Netmarble / Payneblade

Burning Curse is the ultimate Artifact set to use for both Armor and Jewelry.

Burning Curse Artifacts are by far the most effective to equip due to the major DPS buffs provided favoring her stats better than any other option. Despite this, you can combine a four-piece Burning Curse Jewelry set with varied Armor choices to make your build more versatile as outlined below:

We recommend an alternative Armor selection of using a two-piece One Hit Kill set to get your Ultimate Skill faster, paired with either a two-piece Solid Foundation set to boost Basic Attack damage, or a two-piece Crimson Knight set to increase both Charlotte’s Attack and Defense.

Here are all the best Armor Artifact set choices for Charlotte and their benefits depending on how many you have equipped from each set:
