"Arise Crossover: Beginner's Guide Beta Released"

Author : Sarah Apr 02,2025

*Arise Crossover* might seem straightforward at first glance—you gather Shadow units and attack enemies to strengthen your team. However, as you progress, you'll encounter complexities that might leave you puzzled about how to move forward, level up, and choose the right Shadows. If you're feeling lost, this guide is designed to help you navigate the game more effectively.

How Shadows Work in Arise Crossover

In *Arise Crossover*, each of the three islands offers several recruitable Shadows and one powerful dungeon Shadow. The weakest unit, Soondoo, is available from the start, while the strongest, Mifalcon, can be found on the final Brum Island. However, the real power lies in the ranks of your Shadows. A Rank A Soondoo will outperform a Rank D Mifalcon. Higher-ranked units can reach higher levels, with Rank D units capping at Level 75 and SS units reaching up to Level 200. Your ultimate goal should be to assemble a team of four SS-ranked Mifalcons, but the journey to get there is where the fun begins.

Dungeon Portals in *Arise Crossover* spawn every 30 minutes and remain open for 15 minutes. Even if you enter a portal just before it closes, you can complete the entire dungeon. Portals appear in various locations across each island, with their difficulty rank randomly determined.

Start by forming a team of Rank D units and tackle a Rank D or C dungeon on Leveling Island. This will help you build a solid roster and possibly recruit a rare Shadow unit. Dungeons are your primary source for recruiting Rare Units and common units above Rank C.

Whenever a portal spawns, go for it, even if your team isn't the strongest. Stand by the portal and wait for other players to join; often, experienced players will help you through the dungeon. This community spirit can be invaluable for recruiting higher-ranking units. Our own experience saw us being carried through a Rank A dungeon with just Rank C units, allowing us to recruit Rank A units and progress further. We later paid it forward by helping others. Embracing this trend can significantly enhance your progress in *Arise Crossover*.

Arise Crossover Weapons

During the Beta phase, player weapons in *Arise Crossover* are largely ineffective. Early in the game, they might offer a minor boost, but by the second island, their impact diminishes significantly. The Iron Kando Blade, the strongest common weapon, costs 60 million and deals 516.1K damage, while your Shadows can deal 200 to 400 million. Unless you have excess funds, it's wise to save your money until future updates improve weapon utility.

How to Get a Mount in Arise Crossover

Wild mounts spawn every 15 minutes, with only one player on the server able to claim each one. A server-wide message announces the spawn, but you won't be notified if another player claims it or if it disappears. Mounts can appear in six different locations, including the back of main islands and small side islands between major ones. Check the developer's map for specific spawn locations.

You can't claim the same mount twice, and attempts to capture one might fail. Flying mounts are the rarest, with a 10% spawn rate, while ground mounts are more common, and water mounts can be purchased from the Boat Shop NPC. To get a mount, keep an eye out for the server message and race to the spawn locations. While mounts aren't essential for progression, a flying mount can make traveling much easier.

That's the gist of it. As *Arise Crossover* receives updates, we'll continue to refine this guide. In the meantime, don't forget to check out *Arise Crossover* codes for some exciting freebies.
