Let’s be real, stacking cash in Arise Crossover can feel like a grind, especially if you don’t know the most efficient route. But here’s the good news: I’ve been testing strategies nonstop, and I’m about to show you the absolute best way to farm money, no matter what location you’re in or what mobs you’re fighting. By the way, this is the same method I used to hit 2.5G cash, and trust me, without the right strategy, that grind would’ve taken forever. Now, without further ado, here’s what I think is the best farming method right now!
How to Farm Money Fast
First things first! Keep in mind that: No matter where you are in the game, mob mechanics stay the same. What changes are the names and locations, but their cash and health multipliers stay locked in across all zones. So, once you understand the mob structure and the math behind them, you can farm anywhere with max efficiency!
Mob Types & Multipliers (The Basics)
Every zone has three core mob types. We’ll keep it simple:
- Type 1 – Entry-level mobs (like Diablo)
- Type 2 – Mid-tier mobs (like Josuke)
- Type 3 – High-tier mobs (like Jolyne)
Here’s how their multipliers shake out:
| Mob Type | Cash Multiplier | Health Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | 1x | 1x |
| Type 2 | ~1.33x | ~3.33x |
| Type 3 | ~2.05x | ~6.67x |
So yeah, Type 3 drops more cash, but you’re also dealing with triple the health. It’s a trade-off between payout and time. But here’s the key thing to remember: These multipliers are consistent across the game, no matter what zone you’re in or what the mobs are called.
Brute Mobs: Your Fast-Track to Riches
Now let’s talk Brutes: these are buffed-up versions of normal mobs and the key to scaling your cash once your DPS gets strong.
Brute Multipliers:
- 10x cash (compared to Type 1)
- 13.33x health
That might sound like a big wall of HP (because it is), but their massive cash payout makes them totally worth it if your DPS is high enough.
Now, let’s talk cash per second (CPS), because knowing your CPS helps you farm smarter, not just harder. This stat includes kill time and respawn time with 208T DPS, so it’s the best way to measure efficiency.
| Mob Type | Cash | Health | Time to Kill (w/ 208T DPS) | Total Time (Kill + Respawn) | Cash/Second |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | 4.2T | 2.0T | ~2.01s | ~7.01s | ~0.60T/sec |
| Type 2 | 5.6T | 10.0T | ~4.81s | ~9.81s | ~0.57T/sec |
| Type 3 | 8.6T | 20.0T | ~9.61s | ~14.61s | ~0.59T/sec |
| Brute | 42T | 13,600T | ~65.38s | ~70.38s | ~0.60T/sec |
Right now, Brutes match Type 1 in efficiency, but the moment your DPS scales, Brutes pull way ahead.
Also, every Brute in a single location shares the same stats, regardless of what normal mob it’s based on. So whether it’s a Brute Diablo or a Brute Jolyne, if it’s in the same zone, it’s dropping the same cash and has the same HP.
So, what do all these numbers mean? The 2-Second Rule, mate.
The “2-Second Rule” (Your DPS Benchmark)
This rule is simple but so important:
If you can kill a Type 1 mob in under 2 seconds, start farming Brutes.
That’s the tipping point where Brutes become more cash-efficient than anything else. The 208T DPS benchmark I mentioned above? That was tested in the JoJo zone, but the 2-second rule works everywhere.
At 208T DPS, Type 1 mobs and Brutes give the same cash per second, but once you break that 2-second kill time on Type 1s, Brutes start pulling way ahead. They might take longer to kill, but the payout makes up for it and then some.
Type 2 and 3 might look tempting with their higher cash values, but the extra time it takes to bring them down usually isn’t worth it, especially early on.
Best Farming Strategy
- Start with Type 1 mobs in any zone.
- Once you can kill them in under 2 seconds, switch to Brutes.
- Rinse and repeat across zones as your damage improves.
- Skip Type 2 and 3 unless you’re in a very specific scenario.
Bonus tip: Mob levels only affect health, not the cash rewards, so low-level versions of mobs are actually ideal when your DPS is low.
Playing with friends? Team farming is great, but don’t go full AFK:
- You need to deal at least 5% of the mob’s HP to earn rewards.
- Make sure everyone has Instant Destroy to avoid slowing down respawn time.
- If you’re shadowing mobs, remember: shadow level = original level, so be smart with what you arise.
Must-Have Gamepasses (If You’re Serious)
If you’re really grinding, these gamepasses are non-negotiable:
- 2x Cash – Speaks for itself.
- Instant Destroy – Removes the respawn lag.
- Auto Clicker – No macro? No problem.
With these, your farm becomes almost automatic. Set up near a Brute, turn on Auto Destroy, and let it run. Right now, I’m farming Brute King in Dragon City and pulling in around 400 QA per hour.
Tip: Use a cash potion when you’ve got tickets lying around, it stacks with the multipliers and makes a big difference.
Reality Check: The SS Grind is Real
Let’s keep it honest: To fully SS-rank the new epic sword (Twin Draconic Axe), you’re going to need a ton of cash. At 400 QA/hour, you’re looking at: 6.5 days of straight farming. No joke. IMO? Devs really need to buff either the cash drops or the cash potions, because right now it’s kind of wild, even for hardcore grinders.
Wrap-Up & Recap
- Kill Type 1 mobs until your DPS lets you kill them in under 2 seconds
- Switch to Brutes once you hit that mark
- Brutes = 10x cash, 13.33x health
- In co-op, always deal 5% damage for rewards
- Mob level is not = more cash, just more health
- Gamepasses make this 10x smoother
And that’s the updated, no-fluff guide to making money fast in Arise Crossover. Whether you’re prepping for the next update, grinding for the SS sword, or just trying to flex your wallet, this is how you get there!
