Arise Crossover: Beginner's Guide (Beta)

Author : Brooklyn Update:Mar 13,2025

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 navigating progression, leveling, unit selection, and more. This guide is for those feeling a bit overwhelmed.

How Shadows Work in Arise Crossover

Each of Arise Crossover's three islands offers various recruitable Shadows, including a powerful dungeon boss Shadow. Currently, Soondoo (available early) is the weakest, while Mifalcon (found on Brum Island) is the strongest. However, rank is far more important than unit type. A Rank A Soondoo significantly outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units have greater level-up potential; a Rank D unit maxes at level 75, while an SS unit reaches level 200. The ultimate goal is four level 200 Mifalcons, but the journey is the real challenge.

Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide

Dungeon portals appear every 30 minutes, lasting 15 minutes. You can complete a dungeon even if you enter just before the portal closes. Portals spawn randomly across each island at varying difficulty ranks.

Begin with a team of Rank D units and tackle Rank D or C dungeons on Leveling Island. This will build a foundation and potentially yield rare Shadows. Dungeons are the primary method for recruiting rare and higher-ranked (above C) units.

Whenever a portal spawns, join it! Even without a strong team, wait near the portal—other players often help lower-level players complete dungeons. Many players solo these dungeons and are willing to assist. Use this to gain access to higher-ranked units. Recruiting Shadows from dungeons is key to progression in Arise Crossover. We progressed to the endgame by having a higher-level player bring us through a Rank A dungeon when we only had Rank C units.

Arise Crossover Weapons

Currently, weapons are largely ineffective. While helpful early on, their impact diminishes significantly as you progress. The Iron Kando Blade, the strongest common weapon, deals 516,1K damage—negligible compared to the hundreds of millions your units will output. Save your money unless you have excess resources.

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 disappearance or capture by another player.

Six potential spawn locations exist: one on each main island's backside and one on each smaller island between main islands. Consult the developer's map for specifics.

You can only claim each mount once, and capture attempts can fail. Flying mounts are rarest (approximately 10% spawn rate), ground mounts are common, and water mounts are purchasable from the Boat Shop NPC. Mounts aren't essential for progression, but flying mounts greatly ease travel.

This guide will be updated as the game evolves. In the meantime, check out the Arise Crossover codes for some free rewards!
