Arise Crossover has recently introduced a rank system that allows you to perform special tests to raise your status in the game. Below you will find a detailed guide on how these ranks work, how to rank up and what you can expect in each “rank test” dungeon. We advance you that for each rank you climb you will do 5% more damage.
What Are Arise Crossover Ranks?
| Rank | Extra Damage |
|---|---|
| SS | 35% |
| S | 30% |
| A | 25% |
| B | 20% |
| C | 15% |
| D | 10% |
| E | 5% |
- Permanent Progression: Ranks go beyond normal leveling. Once you pass a rank test, your title (e.g., E rank, D rank, etc.) appears on your profile.
- Dungeon-Based Trials: Each rank test involves clearing a special dungeon with a fixed time limit and set number of rooms.
Why Aim for Higher Ranks?
- Bragging Rights: Your rank displays next to your name in lobbies, showing off your achievements.
- Future Updates: Though details are still emerging, higher ranks may unlock upcoming features or exclusive bonuses.
How to Rank Up
- Visit the New Building
- Located in Leveling City (the Solo Leveling-themed island).
- Enter and look for a large portal or “Rank Test” station.
- Start the Rank Test
- If you’re currently unranked or at E rank, you’ll see an option to run an E test.
- Each test generally has:
- 20 Rooms: Enemies appear in each room.
- 10-Minute Timer: You must clear all rooms before time expires.
- Solo Format: No co-op help—your Shadows, weapons, and personal skill matter most.
- Defeat All Enemies
- Use your Shadows and Auto Attack to move quickly.
- If you have a strong weapon (e.g., 4–8 billion damage), you can breeze through. Otherwise, you may need multiple tries.
- Check Your New Rank
- Upon clearing the final boss room, wait until the timer or end-screen confirms you’ve passed.
- Your rank (e.g., E rank) displays in the top-right corner or on your profile.
Tips for Clearing Rank Tests
- Upgrade Your Weapon
- Even though Shadows handle most damage, a high-damage melee weapon helps you kill room enemies faster.
- Use Auto Attack
- This game pass (or a ticket-bought feature) automates your fighting. Great for quick room clears.
- Position Your Shadows
- Send Shadows ahead while you move to the next room. You’ll effectively tackle multiple rooms at once.
- Mind the Timer
- You typically get 10 minutes for 20 rooms. Try not to linger; keep pushing forward to beat all enemies in time.
Potential Rewards & Future Uses
- Rank Badge: Your new rank shows you’ve conquered the test.
- Speculated Bonuses: Future updates may grant unique perks or quest access based on your rank.
- Rune Synergy: Some runes (like the Time Rune) could help in rank tests by adding extra time or lowering enemy HP. This is still optional but worth considering.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I Gain Anything Other Than a Title?
- Currently, ranks are mostly cosmetic or bragging rights. However, devs hint at future rank-locked features, so it’s wise to level up now.
- Can I Attempt Higher Ranks Immediately?
- You must pass each rank test in order (E, D, C, etc.). After succeeding at one rank, the next test unlocks.
- Is Team Play Possible?
- Rank tests are typically solo. You can’t bring friends, so ensure your loadout and Shadows are strong enough.
The Arise Crossover Rank System adds a fresh layer of progression, challenging you to clear specialized dungeons under time pressure. While the ranks are mostly about status at the moment, they may evolve into a major part of the endgame—especially if future content or events require certain ranks. Prepare your best Shadows, upgrade your weapon, and aim to climb all the way to the top. Good luck!
