'I don't cut corners. always.' — Agnes Rivera from Solo Leveling Arise
We don't know much about Agnes Rivera at the moment, but what we do know is that she is a master of an Italian guild, namely the Italian Rivera Guild. The solo leveling story primarily focuses on Asia and North America, and this new reveal makes Agnes one of the European Hunters involved, as well as the first Italian Hunter. Solo Leveling Arise describes Agnes as 'bold, arrogant, and sometimes cunning', and her brief dialogue in the teaser video confirms this. An alternative skin, 'Omerta in Paradise', will be released in the game to coincide with the summer event. She is definitely a Hunter that many people will want to unlock and use in battle.

Jinwoo, a powerful warrior, is now even more powerful with a new weapon called Razor Frost, which is said to be capable of the ultimate slash.

We are all very excited to welcome this new Italian Hunter to solo leveling Arise. She's definitely a unique hunter, and luckily she'll be appearing in the game soon. She was first announced in early June, but now work on her is officially complete and ready to be revealed to us. Agnes Rivera will be included in the upcoming Solo Leveling Arise update on July 2, 2026. This update is just a few days away, and what's even more interesting is that she's not releasing it alone either. More content will be officially released with her in the July update.
While Agnes is the highlight, Jinwoo also added one of his iconic shadows to the game: Greed, the shadow of S-class hunter Hwang Dong-su. A forum detailing the update stated that the New Daily Essence Stone Boost is currently scheduled for discontinuation. Instead, we're getting something new and revamped, so I'm excited to see what Solo Leveling Arise has in store. Players can expect Dark Hunter balance buffs and other bonuses such as new skins and game tweaks to be included as well. Now that the July update is almost over, I'm very excited to see what's next for the game and what new characters will be added in the next update after this one.
Agnes Rivera stands out as a powerful S-class hunter comparable to the upper tiers.
Agnes Rivera is a guild master of a prestigious guild and holds a high status among Italian hunters. The Rivera Guild is a large corporate guild, and being on top reflects her power, but despite her power and status, she still cares for her members like family. But what's more interesting is that a shocking fact is revealed in Agnes Rivers' character card that appears in Solo Leveling Arise. She is a new S-class hunter. Of course, this makes sense since most guild masters in large guilds are often S-rank. This is reflected in guilds in other countries, including Korea, and it is reasonable that the same applies to Italy.
This means that Agnes is not only a new dark hunter, but also the strongest as she belongs to the S rank, and may be the strongest hunter known on the European continent so far, as there are no European national level hunters.
Unfortunately, as is the case with characters added to Solo Leveling: Arise that were not in Chugong's original web novel, Agnes Rivera is not an official character. Her character would be an interesting addition to the Arise world, but she doesn't exist in a true Solo Leveling world. Either way, we look forward to seeing how her story progresses and learning more about her character through Solo Leveling: Arise dialogue when it releases on Thursday, July 2, 2026. She may be one of the most exciting original additions to the game, and judging by the fan reaction, she already seems like a fan favorite.
Solo Leveling Arise is available on PC and mobile.
