Ultimate Arise Crossover Beginner’s Guide (Beta)

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, struggling with 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 various recruitable Shadows, including a powerful dungeon boss. Currently, Soondoo (early game) is the weakest, while Mifalcon (late game, Brum Island) is the strongest.

However, unit rank trumps type. A Rank A Soondoo outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units reach significantly higher levels; Rank D maxes at 75, while SS units reach 200. The ultimate team? Four level 200 Mifalcons (SS rank). Getting there is the adventure!

Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide

Dungeon portals appear every 30 minutes, lasting 15 minutes. Even joining a dungeon seconds before closure allows full completion. Portals spawn randomly across islands, offering varying difficulty.

Begin with a team of Rank D units, tackling Rank D or C dungeons on Leveling Island. This builds a foundation and might even yield rare Shadow units. Dungeons are crucial for recruiting rare and higher-ranked (above C) units.

Whenever a portal spawns, join! Even without a strong team, wait for others to join; many players solo dungeons and willingly help lower-level players. This is key progression in Arise Crossover. We even progressed from C-rank units to endgame by joining higher-ranked dungeons with helpful players. Pay it forward!

Arise Crossover Weapons

Currently (Beta), weapons are largely ineffective. While useful early on, their impact diminishes quickly. The Iron Kando Blade (most powerful common weapon) costs 60m for 516.1K damage, insignificant compared to unit damage (200-400 million). Save your resources for now.

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 spawns, but not always captures or disappearances.

Six potential spawn locations exist: one on each main island's back, and one on each small island between major islands. Consult the developer's map (see below).

Each mount is claimable only once. Capture attempts can fail. Flying mounts are rarest (10% spawn chance), ground mounts common, and water mounts purchasable from the Boat Shop NPC. While not essential for progression, mounts, especially flying ones, greatly improve traversal.
