If you are looking to power up your character in Roblox Arise Crossover but don’t know how the new Shadow and weapon merger and upgrade system works, I’ve got you covered with this guide.
For players who don’t know, Arise Crossover is an anime-inspired game on the Roblox platform currently in its beta stages.
The game draws its inspiration from hit anime titles and their original works like Solo Leveling, Naruto, One Piece, and many others, thus making the name Anime Crossover.
That said, the game recently received a mini update adding some key new features and quality of life changes, including the Shadow merger system that allows you to get SS Rank Shadow with a 100% guarantee.
Moreover, players can now also upgrade their weapons into better ones and even enchant them with special effects.
Seeing that, I decided to prepare this handy guide explaining how to merge and upgrade Shadows to SS Rank and weapons in Arise Crossover.
How to merge shadows to get SS Rank Shadow in Arise Crossover

In Arise Crossover, you can merge Shadows via the Shadow Upgrade NPC found near the spawn area.
The Shadow Upgrade NPC looks like Rimuru and is hard to miss, thanks to the title “Shadow Upgrade” appearing on top of his head.
Once you are at the spawn, go near the Shadow Upgrade NPC to access the upgrade menu.
Six boxes appear on the upgrade screen:
- Rank E
- Rank D
- Rank C
- Rank B
- Rank A
- Rank S

To merge a Shadow and obtain its SS Rank variant, you must add one Shadow in each Rank field.
For example, if you want to merge and upgrade Longin to SS Rank, you must add an E, D, C, B, A, and S Rank Longin in the respective fields.
Once that is done, you must use ‘Gems’ or ‘Tickets’ to make the upgrade.

Previously, the only way to get an SS Rank Shadow was by farming the S Rank Shadows found within an S Rank Dungeon.
The chance to get one was a meager 2%.
And that is why the new Shadow Merger system is a better option for players who have already grinded a lot of Shadows of different Ranks.
How to upgrade and enchant weapons in Arise Crossover

You can upgrade and enchant your weapons in Arise Crossover via the Enchants NPC found at the spawn area.

For the weapon upgrade in particular, you must add three weapons of the same type to upgrade it into a higher variant.

Meanwhile, for weapon enchants, you must add the weapon that you want to enchant and use Tickets or Gems to enchant it.
How to get Powder Dust in Arise Crossover
You can get the Common Powder Dust, Rare Power Dust, etc, from Dungeons that appear around the open world in the game.
That concludes my guide on how to merge and upgrade Shadows and weapons in Anime Crossover.
