Arise Crossover may appear deceptively simple at first glance – assemble Shadow units to battle passive enemies and grow stronger until content runs dry. However, our endgame experience revealed many skilled players struggling with progression, leveling strategies, and optimal Shadow selection. If you're facing similar challenges, this guide will help streamline your journey.

Shadow Unit Mechanics in Arise Crossover

Across Arise Crossover's three islands, players encounter recruitable Shadows with one formidable dungeon Shadow per island. Regarding base stats, Soondoo represents the weakest starting unit, while Mifalcon from Brum Island emerges as the strongest currently available.

Unit ranking proves more impactful than base types - a Rank A Soondoo outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon significantly. Higher ranks enable greater level caps: Rank D units plateau at Level 75, whereas SS Units can reach Level 200. While an ideal endgame team would feature four SS-ranked Mifalcons, the progression journey proves equally rewarding.

Mastering Dungeons in Arise Crossover

Dungeon Portals appear every 30 minutes, remaining active for 15-minute windows. Initiating a dungeon before closure allows full completion, as systems treat these as separate instances.

Portal spawn points vary per island, with randomized difficulty ratings each appearance.

New players should prioritize assembling Rank D units and attempt Leveling Island's Rank D/C dungeons. These yield solid starter teams and potential rare boss encounters. Dungeons provide exclusive access to Rare Units and ranks above C.

Never ignore portal notifications - even underpowered teams should approach. Many veteran players willingly carry newcomers through dungeons they can solo. Capitalizing on this community support accelerates Shadow recruitment and represents the core progression mechanic in Arise Crossover.

Through community assistance, our Rank C team completed an A-rank dungeon, securing vital units that carried us to endgame. We later paid this forward by guiding Rank D players through S-rank content - a rewarding cycle worth embracing.

Weapon System in Arise Crossover

During Beta, player weapons demonstrate limited utility. While offering minor early-game benefits, their impact diminishes rapidly upon reaching the second island.

The Iron Kando Blade (current top common weapon) delivers 516K damage for 60m currency - negligible compared to unit outputs of 200-400 million. Consider postponing weapon investments until future updates rebalance this system.

Mount Acquisition Strategies

Wild mounts spawn every 15 minutes, with server-wide announcements. Note that capture success notifications may not always display for other players' attempts.

Six potential spawn locations exist across secondary islands and interstitial zones. Consult the developer's map for precise coordinates.

Mount captures are one-time opportunities, with potential failure. Flying mounts (10% spawn rate) prove rarest, while ground mounts appear frequently and water mounts remain purchasable from Boat Shops.

Optimize mount hunting by checking all six locations sequentially after spawn alerts. While mounts aren't essential for progression, flying varieties significantly improve traversal efficiency. Our team continues pursuing that elusive flying mount capture.
