Arise Crossover: Beginner's Guide (Beta)

Author : Riley Update:Apr 28,2025

If you're diving into *Arise Crossover* and find the gameplay mechanics a bit overwhelming, this guide is crafted to help you navigate through the game more effectively. Whether you're puzzled about how to progress, where to level up, or which Shadows to prioritize, we've got you covered.

How Shadows Work in Arise Crossover

In *Arise Crossover*, each of the three islands hosts several recruitable Shadows and one formidable dungeon Shadow. The units vary in strength, with **Soondoo** being the weakest, available right from the start, and **Mifalcon** being the strongest, found on the final Brum Island. However, the power of a Shadow isn't solely determined by its type but significantly by its rank. For instance, **a Rank A Soondoo will outperform a Rank D Mifalcon**. Higher-ranked units can achieve higher levels; a **Rank D unit tops out at Level 75**, while an **SS Unit can reach Level 200**. Your ultimate goal? Assembling a team of four SS-ranked Mifalcons, though the journey to get there is where the real adventure lies.

Dungeons are key to progression in *Arise Crossover*, with **portals spawning every 30 minutes and remaining open for 15 minutes**. Even if you enter a dungeon just before a portal closes, you'll still have ample time to complete it. These portals appear randomly across the islands, and their difficulty is equally unpredictable.

Start by forming a team of **Rank D units** and tackle a **Rank D or C dungeon** on Leveling Island. This approach will help you amass a solid group of units and potentially snag a rare boss Shadow. **Dungeons are your primary source for recruiting Rare and higher-than-Rank C common units**.

Whenever a portal spawns, **go for it**. Even if your team isn't up to par, linger near the portal and join forces with other players. Often, experienced players are willing to carry newcomers through dungeons, providing an excellent opportunity for you to obtain higher-ranking units. This communal aspect of *Arise Crossover* is what fuels your progression.

Arise Crossover Weapons

During this Beta phase of *Arise Crossover*, weapons have a minimal impact on gameplay. While they might offer some assistance early on, their effectiveness wanes quickly. The **Iron Kando Blade**, the most potent common weapon currently available, costs a hefty 60 million and delivers a modest 516.1K damage. In contrast, your units can deal damage in the range of 200 to 400 million. Unless you're flush with in-game currency, it's wise to hold off on weapon purchases until future updates enhance their utility.

How to Get a Mount in Arise Crossover

Mounts in *Arise Crossover* add a thrilling layer to the gameplay, with **wild mounts spawning every 15 minutes**. A server-wide notification alerts players to a new mount's appearance, but no message is sent if someone else claims it or if it vanishes. Mounts can appear in **six distinct locations**—on the main islands, their backs, and smaller islands between them. Check the developer's map for precise spawn points.

You can't claim the same mount twice, and capturing attempts can fail. **Flying mounts are the rarest**, boasting a 10% spawn rate, while ground mounts are more common. Water mounts can be purchased from the Boat Shop NPC. To secure a mount, keep an eye out for the server message and swiftly navigate to the potential spawn spots. While mounts aren't essential for game progression, a flying mount certainly eases travel across the expansive world of *Arise Crossover*.

As *Arise Crossover* continues to evolve with updates, we'll keep this guide updated to reflect the latest strategies and features. In the meantime, don't forget to check out the *Arise Crossover* codes for some exciting freebies to enhance your gameplay experience.
