Table of Contents How to Upgrade Shadows in Arise Crossover How to Get SS Rank Shadows Without Upgrading Them in Arise Crossover Can You Upgrade Shadows to G Tier? How to Upgrade Shadows in Arise Crossover To upgrade a Shadow in Arise Crossover, you first have to collect the six different ranks (E, D, C, B, A, S) of the same Shadow. Getting the E and D versions is easy, as they drop from small and large mobs on each of the islands. Now, to get the other four ranks, you have to complete Dungeons of various ranks. The Shadows that you can arise in a specific dungeon depend on its rank. You can use Runes to alter Dungeons and make the process of grinding other variations a lot easier. After you defeat a mob in a Dungeon, you can arise it and get a specific version of it, depending on the rank of the Dungeon. You should focus on getting the C, B, A, and S versions of a Shadow first, as farming the last two is an easy task. If you want to get an SS rank version of a Dungeon boss, that might require a bit more effort, as the chance of arising a boss as a shadow is low. Shadows Upgrader NPC is right next to the spawn area of Solo City. You can sacrifice 6 different rank variations of the same Shadow (E-S) to get one SS-rank version of it. By clicking on one of the rank boxes in the Shadows upgrade menu, you can see which Shadows you possess with that rank. Once you've obtained all six Shadows of lower rank, head to the Shadows Upgrader NPC in Solo City. The NPC is right next to the spawn area, so you can't miss it. When you interact with them, a menu will pop up that lets you choose a Shadow of each rank. Select each separate version of one Shadow, and click on the Upgrade button to get one SS version of the same Shadow. An upgraded SS-rank Shadow will have a maximum level cap of 225 and, thus, much higher damage. So, it is always worth upgrading Shadows in Arise Crossover. However, don't forget to level them up properly and let them catch up to the rest of your party. You can check which Shadows you currently have in the Shadows menu. When you Arise a defeated Brute variation of a mob, you will get a D-rank version of it. How to Get SS Rank Shadows Without Upgrading Them in Arise Crossover There is another method to get an SS-rank Shadow in Arise Crossover, and that is by arising mobs in SS-rank Dungeons. You can immediately tell if a Dungeon is of that rank by the size and red color of its gate. However, SS-rank Dungeons appear very rarely. On average, once or twice per day. Also, these Dungeons can be very difficult, so group with other players before you join them. Can You Upgrade Shadows to G Tier? Unfortunately, you can't upgrade Shadows to the G tier in Arise Crossover because the majority of them don't have those variations. However, there are two Shadows that have them, and those are Ziru and the Monarch. You can get the G-rank version of Ziru from the King boss during the Dedu Island raid or as a reward while AFK. The Monarch's G-rank version, however, drops only from the Monarch boss in very rare double Dungeons. That sums up everything you need to know about how to upgrade Shadows in Arise Crossover. If you want to get some freebies and possibly a free G-rank Ziru, check out our Arise Crossover codes. The post How to Upgrade Shadows in Arise Crossover appeared first on Destructoid.
