The game has officially released, and if you want to get ahead from day one, there are some essential tips every new player must know. This guide breaks down stun locks, leveling, dungeon rewards, shadow classes, player classes, and mana management.
1. Master Stun Lock
What it is: A simple mechanic that lets you keep enemies incapacitated.
How to do it: Press and hold M1 (basic attack) while attacking an enemy. Once they are knocked down, keep attacking to keep them in stun lock.
Why it’s useful: You can defeat enemies without taking damage—perfect for completing quests or farming dungeons.
2. Leveling Up Fast
Focus on quests for quick experience.
NPCs with exclamation marks indicate quests:
Blue: Easy
Yellow: Medium
Red: Hard (best rewards)
Use stun lock during tough quests to avoid deaths.
Quest rewards include XP and currency, helping you level up quickly.
Pro tip: You can continue quests even if you die; enemies won’t reset health (for now).
After leveling, distribute your stat points based on your class:
Tank: Vitality + Strength
Assassin: Vitality + Agility
Mage: Intelligence + Vitality
3. Dungeon Weapons and Shadows
Dungeons spawn periodically (approx. every 15–20 minutes).
Completing dungeons rewards weapon boxes and shadow summons.
Shadows are units like mages, warriors, or rangers that fight alongside you.
Weapons from dungeons are essential for early progression and dealing higher damage.
4. Player Classes & Shadow Classes
Player Classes: Choose from Mage, Warrior, Assassin, Healer, or Tank. Each has unique skills and abilities.
Example: The Mage class has 4 powerful skills ideal for high damage output.
Shadow Classes: These are units you summon during combat, and they mirror player classes:
- Mages: Ranged magic damage
- Warriors: Close combat
- Rangers: Ranged physical damage
Tip: The synergy between your player class and shadows is key to dominating battles.
5. Mana Management
Mana is required to respawn shadows during battles.
Shadows consume mana, so managing it is crucial.
Increase mana by putting stat points into Intelligence (and some Vitality for survivability).
Keep a large mana pool to maintain shadow support during longer fights or dungeons.
By following these tips, you’ll be fully prepared to dominate Arise Crossover: Ragnarok from the first day of release.
