Solo Leveling: Arise Hunters

This is the Explanation of why I put these hunters on that particular tier: Damage, Buffs, Debuffs, Healing, Crowd control, Support ability, MP consumption, Passive Skills, and Weapons buffs were considered.

Advancement Tiers were also suggested. For example, if a certain Hunter is on the A-Tier list, could Advancement Tiers help them reach S-Tier?
