Ultimate Arise Crossover Beginner’s Guide (Beta)

Arise Crossover might seem simple at first glance: collect Shadow units, attack defenseless enemies, and grow stronger. But even experienced players can get lost in the leveling, unit selection, and progression systems. This guide helps clarify those confusing aspects.

Each of Arise Crossover's three islands features recruitable Shadows, including a powerful dungeon Shadow. Currently, Soondoo (early game) is the weakest, while Mifalcon (Brum Island) is the strongest.

However, rank matters more than unit type. A Rank A Soondoo surpasses a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units achieve significantly higher levels (Rank D maxes at level 75, while SS units reach level 200). The ideal team consists of four level 200 Mifalcons, but reaching that goal is the real challenge.

Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide

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

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

When a portal spawns, join it! Even without a strong team, other players often assist lower-level players, allowing progression through higher-rank dungeons. Recruiting Shadows from dungeons is the core progression mechanic.

We progressed from Rank C to the endgame with assistance through a Rank A dungeon. Pay it forward by helping others!

Arise Crossover Weapons

Currently (Beta), weapons are largely ineffective. While useful early on, their impact diminishes significantly. The Iron Kando Blade (60m, 516.1K damage) pales in comparison to unit damage (200-400 million). Save your resources unless you have excess currency.

How to get a mount in Arise Crossover

Wild mounts spawn every 15 minutes, claimable by one player per server. A server-wide message announces spawns, but not always captures or disappearances.

Six spawn locations exist: three main islands, two smaller islands, and one location on the back of a main island. (See developer's map).

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