The Ghoul City update for Arise Crossover has dropped, and it’s a major one. This patch expands nearly every system in the game—raising the level cap, introducing a new rank, giving us powerful new talents, and even adding an upgradeable storage system. Whether you’re pushing for meta builds or just trying to catch up, there’s a lot to unpack here.
This Arise Crossover Ghoul City Update walks you through everything in the update, from how to get the new MR rank to whether the Ghoul weapons are actually worth grinding for.
Arise Crossover Ghoul City Update – Storage Upgrades, Codes
Dual Talent Preset Gamepass
A new paid gamepass is now available called Dual Talents, allowing players to create and swap between two different talent builds at no cost.
This is a major time and resource saver. Instead of constantly spending tickets to reset talents, you can now just click and switch builds instantly. It’s particularly useful if you juggle different content types like raids, shadow farming, and dungeon grinding.
It’s hard to overstate how valuable this is long-term. If you’re serious about min-maxing, this gamepass is worth picking up.
Max Level and Stat Increases
- New Max Level: 625
- New Stat Cap: 460
To hit the new level cap efficiently, use all available XP-boosting tools:
- Equip the Jungle Monarch title
- Use Fang of Domination and Iron Howl Fang
- Activate potions and run Shadow Expeditions if you’ve saved them
Make sure to reassign your stat points after hitting the new cap. Many players overlook this, and the difference in combat power is significant.
MR Rank (Master Rank) Guide
The new MR rank is a progression milestone that unlocks high-tier content like HGM Shadow Crafting. To qualify for MR, you must:
- Reach level 535
- Clear Floor 150
Once both conditions are met, complete the MR test and claim your new rank. MR is essential if you plan on staying competitive in endgame content.
New Level 600 Talents
Three major talents have been added at level 600:
Weapon Transcendence – Triples weapon damage. Currently one of the strongest talents in the game.
Eternal Shadows – Increases shadow hit damage by 50 percent. Works well with multi-hit shadow builds.
Arise Perfection – Grants two additional attempts for the Arise ritual (not one, as it currently states in-game). This is excellent for shadow rerolls.
If you’re at or near level 600, prioritize these talents immediately. They offer significant power spikes, especially for weapon-based setups.
Ghoul and Braum Gotchas
Two new gotcha banners are now live:
- Ghoul Gotcha focuses on shadow and weapon damage
- Braum Gotcha provides bonus experience and weapon damage
These are more than just cosmetic. They provide passive bonuses that can push your build past certain thresholds. Also, the interface now displays secrets before rolling, which is a helpful quality-of-life improvement.
If you’re unsure which to roll first, prioritize Ghoul for combat strength, then Braum for leveling speed.
Storage Upgrade System
A brand-new system lets you expand your resource caps for the following categories:
- Rune Bag
- Resource Bag (Dust)
- Keys
- Boosts
- Cores
- Tokens
Each upgrade path has its own requirements. Some cost tickets, while others need rare items like double runes or hundreds of cores. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Rune Bags – Requires double runes
- Keys – Requires generic keys
- Boosts – Uses regular tickets
- Cores – Very expensive (up to 300 per upgrade level)
- Tokens – Extremely costly and generally not worth it
Most players will benefit from upgrading rune, key, and boost capacity. Avoid token upgrades unless you have resources to spare.
New Relic: Ghoul Relic
This new relic drops from Ghoul City dungeon bosses. Its effects are:
- +25 Shadow Levels
- +171 Weapon Damage
The relic is particularly strong for weapon-focused builds, but it’s less effective for pure shadow scaling. Still, if you’re experimenting with hybrid builds, it’s definitely worth equipping.
Ghoul City Weapons
Ghoul City introduces several new weapon types, including swords, tridents, and great hammers. However, early analysis shows that none of the weapons offer four red perks, which has become the benchmark for top-tier gear.
If you’re chasing maximum efficiency, stick to your previous sacred weapons. But it’s still worth collecting one of each E-rank weapon to complete weapon mastery collections.
Ghoul City Dungeons and World Boss
A new S-rank dungeon is located in Ghoul City, alongside a glowing neon world boss area. This content is tuned for higher-level players, so bring optimized builds and prepared rune loadouts.
The world boss requires players to idle or camp on populated servers again, similar to earlier updates. Drops from these events include crafting mats, gotcha tokens, and relic pieces.
Upcoming Content (Weekend Update)
More content is already on the way. According to in-game hints, additional dungeons, relics, or event systems may go live this Saturday. Save a portion of your resources to avoid being locked out when new mechanics drop.
This update does a great job of expanding the endgame without completely upending the meta. The shift toward weapon builds with Talent Presets and Ghoul relics feels fresh and rewarding. The storage upgrades add a layer of long-term progression, while MR Rank creates a new aspirational goal for dedicated players.
Whether you’re grinding for the new relic or just excited to try out your second talent build, this update gives you plenty to dig into.
