Which episodes of Flash cross over with Arrow?

Which episodes of Flash cross over with Arrow? - Famous Tower Bridge over Thames river

Being part of a shared continuity, episodes of Arrow and Flash seem to cross over regularly. But not following Flash makes it difficult for me to even know if I missed anything there with regards to Arrow and its story and characters.

So I would like to know in which episodes of Flash members from Arrow appear. I would like to check out those particular episodes to get the full Arrow experience without committing to the entire Flash show.

Arrow and The Flash are part of same canon called Arrowverse and have crossover almost every year and even more then once sometime:

  • The Flash S01E01: It's Pilot for the Flash show and Arrow came for a speech/dialogue only and don't have much impact of it on Arrow show itself, You might already know S02E8 and S02E09 of Arrow is kind of backdoor pilot of Flash and connect to S01E01 of Flash.

  • Flash vs. Arrow - Flash S01E08, Flash also return the favor in Arrow S03E08 but both episode can be watched separately.

  • Heroes Join Forces- Flash S02E08/Arrow S04E08, it's a full two epsiode arc and need to be watched together in telecast order (First Flash then Arrow) and it serve as Backdoor pilot for Legends of Tomorrow.

  • Invasion! aka Heroes vs Aliens - It's a three-way crossover between The Flash, Arrow and Legends of tomorrow with additional few minutes in the near end of Supergirl S02E08 (which can be skipped). But it's a full single arc and need to be watched in certain order , first Supergirl S0E08 ending then The Flash S03E08 then Arrow S05E08 and ends with Legends of Tomorrow S02E07.
