*Arise Crossover* might seem straightforward at first glance—you gather Shadow units and attack enemies to enhance your team. However, as you progress, the game can become quite complex, leaving even skilled players puzzled about the best strategies for advancement. If you're one of those players feeling lost, this guide is here to help you navigate through the intricacies of *Arise Crossover*.
How Shadows Work in Arise Crossover

In *Arise Crossover*, you'll find three islands, each teeming with recruitable Shadows and featuring one formidable dungeon Shadow. The weakest unit available at the start of the game is **Soondoo**, while the powerhouse **Mifalcon** can be found on the final Brum Island. But remember, it's not just about the type of Shadow; **ranks are crucial**. A Rank A Soondoo will outshine a Rank D Mifalcon any day. Higher-ranked units can level up further, with a Rank D unit maxing out at Level 75, while an SS Unit can reach Level 200. Your ultimate goal? Assembling a team of four SS-ranked Mifalcons, which is no small feat.

Arise Crossover Dungeon Guide

Dungeon Portals are key to progression in *Arise Crossover*. They spawn every 30 minutes and remain open for 15 minutes. Even if you enter a portal just before it closes, you can complete the dungeon. Portals appear in various locations across the islands, with their difficulty randomly assigned.
Start your journey by assembling a team of Rank D units and tackling a Rank D or C dungeon on Leveling Island. This approach will help you build a solid team and possibly snag a rare Shadow Unit. Dungeons are your only chance to recruit Rare Units and common units above Rank C.

When a portal spawns, don't hesitate to go for it, even if your team isn't up to par. Position yourself near the portal and wait for a higher-level player to join. Often, experienced players will carry lower-level players through dungeons, as they can solo them easily. This community spirit is your ticket to acquiring higher-ranking Shadows. We've seen firsthand how a kind player can help you through a Rank A dungeon with only Rank C units, enabling us to recruit Rank A units and eventually reach the end game.
Arise Crossover Weapons

During the Beta phase, weapons in *Arise Crossover* don't significantly impact gameplay. Early on, they might help with a few damage points, but as you progress to the second island, their effectiveness wanes. The **Iron Kando Blade**, the most powerful common weapon, costs 60 million and delivers 516,1K damage, which pales in comparison to your Shadows' potential 200 to 400 million damage. Unless you're willing to spend extravagantly, it's best to save your money for future updates.
How to Get a Mount in Arise Crossover

Mounts in *Arise Crossover* spawn every 15 minutes, and only one player per server can attempt to claim each mount. A server-wide message alerts players to a new mount's appearance, but you won't be notified if someone else claims it or if it vanishes.
Mounts can appear in six different locations: on the back of the main islands or on smaller side islands between them. Check the developer's map for specific spawn points. Remember, you can't claim the same mount twice, and capturing one isn't guaranteed. **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 possible locations. If you miss one, just wait for the next announcement. While mounts aren't essential for progression, a flying mount can make traveling much more convenient. We're still on the hunt for our flying mount!
That's the rundown on *Arise Crossover*. As the game evolves with updates, we'll keep this guide updated. In the meantime, don't forget to check out the *Arise Crossover* codes for some cool freebies.
