Arise Crossover Halloween Update Overview
The Arise Crossover Halloween update (Part 1) is one of the biggest progression jumps the game has seen, arriving alongside a full UI rework. The rank ceiling has been raised past M+ to GL and GL+, relic upgrading has expanded to SR+, and a themed battle pass showers players with exclusive Halloween crafts, titles, and shadow gear. The event window is time-limited, so knowing what to prioritize matters.
Video Highlights:
- New rank cap: GL and GL+ quest progression
- Relic upgrade path increased to SR+ (two ranks above the previous HR+ cap)
- Battle pass exclusive crafts: Lord of Nightmares and Soul Harvester
- New event titles: Sweet Nightmare and Burnt Festive Monarch
- Shadow mount and event collection tracker introduced
The update shipped with a redesigned UI. Open Settings to disable shadow-capture notification spam and switch to small icons — both changes make navigation dramatically easier while you grind the event.
New Ranks: GL and GL+ Progression
With the Halloween update, players previously capped at M+ can now push into GL and eventually GL+. The new rank quests are accessed through the updated quest menu, and you must claim the GL rank reward manually before progressing.
| Rank | Status | How to Unlock | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| M+ | Previous cap | Already attainable | Baseline before update |
| GL | New tier | Complete GL rank quest | Reward must be claimed manually |
| GL+ | Current ceiling | Follow-up quest after GL | Requires rebirth climbing in most cases |
Key points for rank pushing:
- Claim manually: GL rewards do not auto-apply — check the world rank menu and claim before moving on.
- Rebirth matters: If your mode shows "maxed," rebirth to keep climbing shadow levels and unlock the higher rank track.
- New title synergy: The new shadow-level title grants one extra shadow level over prior options, directly boosting rank progression speed.
Focus on claiming GL first, then rebirth before attempting GL+. The extra shadow level from the new Halloween title meaningfully speeds up the climb.
Halloween Relics, Titles, and Battle Pass Rewards
The event's reward pool spans relics, accessories, titles, and shadow equipment. The standout crafts come from the battle pass exclusive track, while the relic system now accepts multi-item upgrades at once.

| Soul Harvester | Craft | Battle pass track (tier ~140) | Strong shadow damage option |
| Sweet Nightmare | Title | Event grind | Bonus shadow level synergy |
| Burnt Festive Monarch | Title | Event (returning) | ~80% better weapon damage vs old title |
| SR+ Relics | Relic tier | Relic menu upgrade | Two ranks above HR+ cap |
| Shadow Mount | Mount | Event drop | Mobility + collection value |

Step-by-Step: Completing the Halloween Event
Stabilize Your Settings
Enter Settings, mute shadow-capture notifications, and enable small icons to cut down UI clutter from the rework.
Upgrade Your Relics to SR+
Open the relic menu, queue multiple relics at once, and push your best options from HR+ up to SR+ for an immediate power spike.
Claim and Climb the New Ranks
Complete the GL quest, claim the reward manually, then rebirth and work toward GL+.
Grind the Battle Pass
Use Claim All as you progress, save your skip items for the exclusive track, and craft Lord of Nightmares and Soul Harvester.
Verify the Event Collection
Check Event > Collection to confirm every title, accessory, and shadow is secured before the event closes.
The dual-drop spot remains one of the best shadow-farming positions during the event. Park there between quests to stockpile shadows while working through the battle pass.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Consequence | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Ignoring manual GL claim | Rank rewards never applied | Always claim in world rank menu |
| Overspending battle pass skips | Wasted premium currency | Count skips needed before using |
| Skipping relic upgrades | Missing two free ranks of power | Upgrade to SR+ immediately |
| Spam notification left on | UI nearly unusable | Mute in Settings first |
| Unequipping shadows blindly | DPS loss from bad rerolls | Compare in new title/shadow compare UI |
The shadow reroll menu has directional quirks — verify a reroll is an actual upgrade before confirming, since the comparison UI is the only reliable way to judge shadow value.
