Ultimate Arise Crossover Beginner’s Guide (Beta)

At first glance, Arise Crossover seems simple: 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.

Each of Arise Crossover's three islands features recruitable Shadows and a powerful dungeon boss. Currently, Soondoo (early game) is the weakest unit, while Mifalcon (final Brum Island) is the strongest. However, rank matters more than unit type. A Rank A Soondoo significantly outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units achieve higher level caps; a Rank D maxes at level 75, while an SS unit reaches level 200. Your ultimate goal: four level 200 Mifalcons (SS rank). The journey is the fun part!

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 at varying difficulty ranks. Begin with a team of Rank D units tackling Rank D (or C) dungeons on Leveling Island. This provides a solid foundation and a chance at rare Shadow units. Dungeons are the only way to recruit rare and higher-ranked (above C) common units.

Whenever a portal spawns, join it! Even with a weak team, waiting near a portal often attracts higher-level players willing to help. Many players solo dungeons and readily assist lower-level players. Accept this assistance to acquire stronger units. Recruiting from dungeons is key to progressing in Arise Crossover. We progressed to the endgame with help from others, later returning the favor.

Arise Crossover Weapons

Currently (Beta), player weapons are largely ineffective. While useful early on, their impact diminishes significantly. The Iron Kando Blade (the strongest common weapon) costs 60m for 516.1k damage, insignificant compared to unit damage (200-400 million). 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 spawns, but not always captures or disappearances. Mounts spawn in six locations (including islands and smaller islets). Refer to the developer's map for locations.

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 available from the Boat Shop NPC. Mounts aren't essential for progression but greatly aid travel. Check for the spawn message and visit all six locations to maximize your chances. We're still hunting that flying mount!
