If you're diving into *Arise Crossover* and feeling a bit lost amidst the shadows and dungeons, don't worry—this guide is here to shed some light on how to progress, level up, and choose the right Shadows to dominate the game.
How Shadows Work in Arise Crossover
In *Arise Crossover*, each of the three islands hosts several recruitable Shadows and one formidable dungeon Shadow. The weakest unit, **Soondoo**, is available right from the start, whereas the mightiest, **Mifalcon**, is found on the final Brum Island. However, the real power lies not just in the type of Shadow but in their ranks. A **Rank A Soondoo** can outshine a **Rank D Mifalcon**. Higher-ranked units can level up further; 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-level Mifalcons**.
Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide
Dungeon Portals in *Arise Crossover* appear every 30 minutes and remain open for 15 minutes. Even if you enter just before a portal closes, you can still complete the entire dungeon. These portals can appear at various locations across each island, with their difficulty rank being randomly assigned.
Start your journey 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 team and possibly recruit a rare (boss) Shadow Unit. Dungeons are your key to recruiting **Rare Units** and **common units above Rank C**.
When a portal spawns, make a beeline for it. Even if your team isn't up to par, wait near the portal for a higher-level player to join. Many players can solo these dungeons and won't mind helping lower-level players tag along. This community support is crucial for recruiting higher-ranking Shadows and advancing in the game. We've seen players with **Rank C units** get boosted through a **Rank A dungeon**, and later, we helped players with **Rank D units** conquer a **Rank S dungeon**. Embrace this helpful trend to progress.
Arise Crossover Weapons
Currently, in the Beta phase, player weapons are largely ineffective. While they might offer a small boost early on, their impact diminishes quickly. The **Iron Kando Blade**, the most powerful common weapon available, costs **60 million** and deals **516,1K damage**—a drop in the ocean compared to the **200 – 400 million** damage your units can dish out. Unless you're looking to splurge, hold onto your in-game currency until future updates potentially enhance weapon utility.
How to Get a Mount in Arise Crossover
Every 15 minutes, a wild mount spawns, and only one player on the server can attempt to claim it. A server-wide message alerts players to a new mount's appearance, though you won't always be notified if it's claimed or disappears.
Mounts can appear at **six different locations**: on the back of the main islands and on smaller islands between them. Check the developer's map for specific spawn points.
You can't claim the same mount twice, and there's a chance you might fail to capture one. **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 six potential spawn locations. While mounts aren't essential for progressing in the game, a flying mount can certainly make traveling more efficient. We're still on the hunt for our own flying mount!
That's the scoop on *Arise Crossover* for now. We'll keep updating this guide as the game evolves. In the meantime, don't forget to check out *Arise Crossover* codes for some free in-game goodies.
