Ultimate Arise Crossover Guide: Beta Launch

Arise Crossover might seem simple at first glance: collect Shadow units, attack defenseless enemies, and power up your team. But even experienced players can get lost in the progression, unsure about leveling, unit selection, and overall strategy. This guide is for those feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Recommended Videos How Shadows work in Arise Crossover

Each island in Arise Crossover offers recruitable Shadows, culminating in a powerful dungeon Shadow on each. Currently, Soondoo (early game) is the weakest, while Mifalcon (Brum Island) is the strongest. However, unit rank is far more crucial than type. A Rank A Soondoo significantly outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units achieve greater maximum levels; a Rank D tops out at level 75, while an SS unit reaches level 200. The ultimate goal? Four level 200 Mifalcons. The journey, however, is where the real challenge lies.

Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide

Dungeon portals appear every 30 minutes, lasting 15 minutes. Entering a dungeon even seconds before a portal closes allows full completion. Portals spawn randomly across islands, with varying difficulty. Begin with a team of Rank D units, tackling Rank D or C dungeons on Leveling Island. This provides a solid foundation and a chance to acquire rare (boss) Shadow units. Dungeons are the only way to recruit rare units and common units above Rank C.

Whenever a portal spawns, join it! Even an underpowered team can benefit from joining others. Many players solo dungeons and readily assist lower-level players. Accepting this help allows progression to higher-ranking units. Recruiting Shadows from dungeons is key to advancing in Arise Crossover. We progressed to the endgame by leveraging this community assistance, starting with a kind player who guided us through a Rank A dungeon.

Arise Crossover Weapons

Currently (Beta), player weapons are largely ineffective. While helpful early on, their impact diminishes significantly. The Iron Kando Blade, the strongest common weapon, costs 60m for 516.1K damage—insignificant compared to the millions dealt by high-level units. Save your resources unless you have excess currency.

How to get a mount in Arise Crossover

Wild mounts spawn every 15 minutes, claimable by only one player per server. A server-wide message announces their appearance, but not always their capture or disappearance. Six potential spawn locations exist (check the developer's map). A mount can only be claimed once, and capture attempts can fail. Flying mounts are rarest (approximately 10% spawn rate), ground mounts are common, and water mounts are available from the Boat Shop NPC. Mounts aren't essential for progression, but flying mounts greatly improve travel.
