The Arise Crossover Midweek Update just dropped, and even though it’s not a major patch, it introduces some seriously exciting improvements and quality of life changes that are going to make your grind smoother and more rewarding. Let’s break it all down so you don’t miss a thing!
What’s New in This Arise Crossover Midweek Update?
1. Full UI Rework
The game’s entire user interface has received a facelift.
Cleaner design, better responsiveness, and most importantly — the UI now actually feels like a proper soul leveling experience.
DPS counter is now easier to read.
Menus and buttons are smoother and snappier — no more clunky delays.
Why it matters: Navigation is faster, combat feels cleaner, and you’ll spend less time fiddling through menus and more time grinding and leveling.
2. Castle Checkpoints + Bosses
Every 25 floors inside the castle now becomes a checkpoint.
You can instantly teleport back to the latest checkpoint, which saves hours of repeated grinding.
New bosses appear at key milestone floors (e.g., 25, 50, etc.).
Some of these bosses unlock new shadows, including 3 legendary and 1 secret shadow.
Why it matters: This adds real purpose to castle grinding, which previously felt repetitive. Now, every few floors could give you something new and powerful.
3. Auto Upgrade & Stats
A new Auto Upgrade feature has been introduced.
Found near the upgrade machine (likely the shadow/sword crafting guy).
You can now craft all variants at once, saving a massive amount of time.
Why it matters: No more crafting one by one or making long time-lapse montages. Just click, upgrade, and move on.
4. Guild Enhancements
+15 new guild member slots – recruit more players and grow stronger as a team.
New Shadow Buff upgrade that now scales 1.1x per level, up from the previous 1.01x.
⚔️ Example:
If your guild buff is at level 40 → that’s 1.1 × 40 = 4.4x total damage boost!
Before, the same level would only give 1.01 × 40 = ~1.4x boost.
Why it matters: That’s a massive boost to your DPS, especially when dealing with high-level bosses or dungeon mobs. The grind just got more rewarding.
5. Movement Buffs
-
Increased player movement speed and dash distance.
📝 Why it matters: Faster travel means quicker navigation across islands, dungeons, and during fights. Small change, big quality of life win.
6. Damage Index Overhaul
-
The in-game Index now shows full DPS stats for each unit.
📝 Why it matters: You can now theorycraft your best DPS team much more easily without needing external calculators or guesswork.
7. Bug Fixes & QoL Improvements
Fixes to:
SS Dungeon Clears
Upgrade Lock issues
Auto Destroy glitches
Dungeon UI and buttons have been improved.
📝 Why it matters: These might not sound flashy, but fixing bugs like this makes every feature feel more reliable, especially in endgame content.
