The most sought-after dungeons in Arise Crossover right now are the Dedu and Winter Raids. Clearing these offers rare Shadows, powerful weapons, and game-changing relics. This comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know to master these high-reward events. Together, we will learn about spawn times, boss mechanics, and exclusive rewards that will boost your gameplay!
Clearing the Dedu Raid
If you want to participate in the Dedu Raid, take note of the following information:
- It occurs every time it hits (XX:15) in the in-game clock, giving players ample time to participate.
- The Dedu Raid can be accessed via the ant icon on your HUD and reached by boat or flying mount.
- Once initiated, players have 15 minutes to defeat multiple waves of enemies and bosses.
The raid begins with Ant Soldiers, each possessing around 225 million HP. These enemies are ideal for players looking to upgrade their Shadows.
After clearing the initial wave, players will face the Ant Queen, a miniboss with approximately 300 trillion HP. Take out the Royal Ants around her to lower her shields. Only then will you be able to damage the Queen.
Defeating her is critical, as it leads you to the appearance of the Ant King, also known as Ziru. This final boss has a large health pool of 3 quadrillion HP. Defeating Ziru requires teamwork and coordination, especially for lower-level players.
To clear the whole of the Dedu Raid, you need to complete the Purge the Colony quest, which has you do the following:
- Defeat 100 Royal Ants
- Defeat 300 Red Ants
- Defeat the Ant King 15 times
- Defeat the Ant Queen 30 times
Dedu Raid Rewards
As mentioned earlier, clearing the Ant Soldiers won’t be much of a problem. Because of how easy they are to clear, you can collect six Ant Soldiers of different ranks (from E to S) and use the Shadow Upgrader to create an SS-rank Ant Soldier Shadow!
Lastly, completing the Purge the Colony quest grants you:
- Common Dust x 250
- Experience x 30,000
- Cash x 3 Trillion
- Rare Dust x 250
- Exp Boost x 2
- Shadow Potion x 2
- Drops Potion x 2
- Gems Boost x 2
- Cash Boost x 2
- Ticket x 29
- Legendary Dust x 250
- And the Ziru (Ant King) N-rank Shadow!
Clearing the Winter Raid
The Winter Raid is only available for a limited time. If you want to participate, be sure to remember these few details:
- Unlike the Dedu Raid, it runs every 30 minutes during weekends (at XX:10 and XX:40), and hourly on weekdays.
- The raid appears near Dragon City and Chainsaw Island, marked by a snowflake icon.
- The Winter Raid also has a 15-minute timer.
The event starts with Elf Soldier mobs. Clear them all and move on to the next quest.
You will now come face to face with the Metal boss, who has 32 sextillion HP. Though not the most difficult fight, it is crucial due to his drop: the Frostbound Core Relic, which increases both Shadow and weapon damage.
After the Metal Boss, players will encounter High Frost Elf mobs that they have to clear out again.
This will eventually transition to the Laruda boss, a powerful enemy with 75 sextillion HP. You must defeat Laruda within four minutes to unlock the event’s final boss: the Snow Monarch.
This boss has 17 quintillion HP and can be Arised into a high-tier Shadow that offers a major advantage in other game content.
Just like the Dedu Raid, the final quest called Winter Raid Champion requires you to finish these objectives:
- Defeat Metal boss 10 times
- Defeat the Laruda boss 7 times
- Defeat Snow Monarch boss 5 times
- Defeat 60 High Frost Elves
- Defeat 100 Elf Soldiers
Winter Raid Rewards
Relics like the Frostbound Core and Crown of Snow enhance player stats and complement late-game builds.
Additionally, after you’ve completed the Winter Raid Champion quest, you are granted the following items:
- Common Dust x 500
- Experience x 25,000
- Cash x 1 Sextillion
- Rare Dust x 500
- Exp Boost x 3
- Shadow Potion x 3
- Drops Potion x 3
- Gems Boost x 3
- Cash Boost x 3
- Ticket x 49
- Legendary Dust x 500
- And the Metal N-rank Shadow!
Additional Tips
- Track raid spawn times to avoid missing events, especially the time-sensitive Winter Raid.
- Activate Drop Boost and Arise Boost potions before entering any of the raids.
- Try equipping relics such as Silent Veil and Flicker Crest for bonus stats. If you want to know more, check out this guide on the best relic combos in Arise Crossover.
- Be sure to turn on Auto Arise and customize your settings to prioritize Shadows and Weapons.
- Focus on upgrading Shadows using the Shadow Upgrader, particularly Ant Soldiers.
- Consider joining a party to increase your chances of finishing the raid more easily. Doing this solo is not entirely viable.
With this information now at the palm of your hand, take advantage of the Raids to progress much faster in Arise Crossover! Especially with the Winter Raid ending in 48 hours, you want to get the most out of it before it goes away for a long time.
