Ultimate Arise Crossover Beginner’s Guide (Beta)

Arise Crossover might seem simple at first glance: collect Shadow units, attack defenseless enemies, and strengthen your team. But even experienced players can get lost navigating progression, leveling, unit selection, and more. 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 per island. Currently, Soondoo (early game) is the weakest unit, while Mifalcon (final Brum Island) is the strongest. However, rank trumps type. A Rank A Soondoo significantly outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units achieve higher level caps (Rank D maxes at level 75, while SS units reach level 200). The ultimate goal? Four level 200 Mifalcons (Rank SS). Getting there is the adventure!

Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide

Dungeon portals appear every 30 minutes, lasting 15 minutes. Even joining seconds before closure allows full dungeon completion. Portals spawn randomly across islands, with varying difficulty. Begin with a Rank D team tackling Rank D or C dungeons on Leveling Island. This provides a solid unit base and potential rare Shadow unit acquisition. Dungeons are crucial for recruiting rare and higher-ranked (above C) units.

Upon portal spawn notification, join immediately! Even without an optimal team, waiting attracts higher-level players willing to assist. Many solo dungeons easily and welcome lower-level players. Accept this assistance to acquire higher-ranked units. Dungeon Shadow recruitment is key to Arise Crossover progression. We progressed to endgame with help from others through a Rank A dungeon when we had only Rank C units; we later returned the favor, helping others through Rank S dungeons.

Arise Crossover Weapons

Currently (Beta), player weapons are largely ineffective. Early game utility diminishes rapidly. The Iron Kando Blade (most powerful common weapon) costs 60m for 516.1K damage, insignificant compared to unit damage (200-400 million). Unless you have excess currency, save your resources until updates.

How to get a mount in Arise Crossover

Wild mounts spawn every 15 minutes, claimable by only one player per server. Server-wide messages announce spawns, but not always claims or disappearances. Six spawn locations exist: one on each main island's back, and one on each small island between major islands. (Refer to the developer's map.) Each mount is claimable only once. Capture attempts can fail. Flying mounts are rarest (around 10% spawn rate), ground mounts are common, and water mounts are purchasable from the Boat Shop NPC.

To obtain a mount, monitor server messages and quickly check all six locations. While not essential for progression, flying mounts significantly ease travel. We're still hunting that elusive flying mount! This guide will be updated with future game updates. Meanwhile, check out the Arise Crossover codes for some free goodies!
