*Arise Crossover* might seem straightforward at first glance, where you gather Shadow units to attack enemies that can't fight back, aiming to acquire even stronger Shadows. However, as you progress to the endgame, the complexity increases, and many players find themselves puzzled on how to advance, level up, and choose the right Shadows. If you're feeling lost, this comprehensive guide will help you navigate through the game with ease.

How Shadows Work in Arise Crossover

In *Arise Crossover*, each of the three islands hosts several recruitable Shadows and one powerful dungeon Shadow. Shadows are categorized by types and ranks, with **Soondoo being the weakest unit** available at the game's start, and **Mifalcon being the strongest**, found on Brum Island. However, it's the rank that truly matters. **A Rank A Soondoo outperforms a Rank D Mifalcon**, and higher-ranked units can reach higher levels. For instance, **a Rank D unit caps at Level 75**, while **an SS unit can reach Level 200**. Your ultimate goal should be to assemble a team of four SS-ranked Mifalcons, though reaching this point is a thrilling journey.

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'll be able to complete the entire dungeon. Portals appear at various locations on each island, with random difficulty ranks. Start by forming a team of Rank D units and tackle a Rank D or C dungeon on Leveling Island to secure a solid group of units, possibly including a rare boss Shadow. **Dungeons are your only source for recruiting Rare Units and common units above Rank C**.

When a portal spawns, **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. Many players can solo these dungeons and are often willing to help boost others through, giving you a chance to recruit higher-ranking units. **This cooperative aspect is key to progressing in *Arise Crossover***. We once benefited from a kind player who guided us through a Rank A dungeon with our Rank C units, enabling us to recruit Rank A units and reach the endgame. We, in turn, helped others with Rank D units navigate through a Rank S dungeon. We encourage you to continue this cycle of support.

Arise Crossover Weapons

During the Beta phase of *Arise Crossover*, player weapons are largely ineffective. While they might offer some minor damage at the game's outset, their impact diminishes quickly. For instance, the **Iron Kando Blade**, the most powerful common weapon, costs 60 million and deals 516,1K damage, which pales in comparison to the 200 to 400 million damage dealt by your units. **Unless you're eager to spend, it's best to save your money for future updates**.

How to Get a Mount in Arise Crossover

Wild mounts spawn every 15 minutes, and only one player on the server can attempt to claim each one. A server-wide message alerts players to a new mount's appearance, though you won't always know if someone else claims it or if it despawns. **Mounts can spawn in six different locations** across the islands, as shown on the developer's map.

You cannot claim the same mount twice, and attempts can fail. **Flying mounts are the rarest**, with a 10% spawn rate, while ground mounts appear more frequently, and water mounts can be purchased from the Boat Shop NPC. To obtain a mount, heed the server message and race to the six possible locations. Mounts aren't essential for progression, but a flying mount can significantly ease travel. We're still on the hunt for our flying mount, and we wish you luck in yours!

That covers the essentials of *Arise Crossover*. We'll continue to update this guide as the game evolves. In the meantime, don't forget to check out *Arise Crossover* codes for some exciting freebies.
