Shadows in Arise Crossover are companions who attack and defeat enemies at your behest. These are defeated foes that you recruit by holding E before they despawn, allowing you to harness their abilities to progress through the game. Knowing which of these is better than the others can significantly impact your ability to reach different areas.
So, to help you understand which Shadows are among the best and which are not worth your time or effort, we’ve ranked them in a tier list.
Ranking all Shadows in Arise Crossover
S-tier

The S-tier includes Shadows that are a staple for every player who wishes to reach the endgame as quickly as possible. Try to recruit these to your party as soon as possible to make the rest of the game a breeze. These are typically the final bosses found in the dungeons of their respective islands, and you can recruit them as Shadows.
Despite having a fraction of the maximum damage rating of the other two, Vermillion finds a place in the S-tier because of his placement in the game world.
Where you find a particular Shadow matters a lot while progressing through the experience. A Shadow with a 10 billion attack rating is not too special if found in a late-game area. However, the same attack rating in the starter area instantly makes it special and worthy of a higher placement.

A-tier

Shadows listed in the A-tier are quite effective, but their performance pales in comparison to their counterparts in the S-tier. You can safely rely on them throughout your playthrough, but you may want to replace them if you can recruit any Shadows from the S-tier.
B-tier

The B-tier is home to the average Shadows in the game that may work well early on, but their effectiveness wears off rather quickly. These Shadows can typically be found early while progressing through the island, which makes them more accessible than their peers. Consider using them to recruit one of the better options listed in the higher tiers.
C-tier

Shadows listed in the C-tier are not worth recruiting, as their damage is nothing special in the stage of the game they can be found in. These are typically the first mobs you run into and can be recruited easily. That said, they are also the first to leave your party in favor of other and more effective counterparts.
