The best Arcanes in Warframe

by

As a gamer delving into the universe of Warframe, I’ve come to appreciate the mighty Arcanes – these potent elements that slot neatly into unique Arcane slots on my Frames and weapons. Initially, when I was just starting out, they weren’t much of a concern. But as I journeyed deeper into the game’s content, I discovered their immense value in overcoming obstacles that cropped up with increasingly challenging builds.

The best Warframe Arcanes

To receive the bonuses mentioned for these Arcanes, they must be fully upgraded (max rank), requiring a total of 21 individual Arcane components. To obtain these parts, you’ll have to regularly participate in the activity specified below where they can be found. Note that trading with other players for Arcanes is an option, but it could be costly based on the specific set you are trying to acquire.

The best Primary Arcanes

As a gamer, here’s how I’d rephrase that: “First off, to utilize these items, I’ve got to grab an Arcane Adapter. You can pick one up from Teshin at the Relay for 15 Steel Essence, or you might even find them as rewards while progressing through Hollvania’s seasonal calendar.
