Arcanes are items in Warframe that provide potentially significant benefits for you to do damage, take damage, and survive in endgame content. They slot into Warframes, Operators, and weapons, and provide an advantage when a specific trigger is activated. For example, some may have a chance of activating when you get a headshot on an enemy, while others might be enabled when you take damage.

All Arcanes have a percentage chance of activating, which increases as you rank up the Arcanes. Ranking up Arcanes is done by combining Arcanes of the same type. To rank up Arcanes, go to your Foundry, then click on the Arcanes button.

All Arcanes can be leveled to different ranks, improving the percentage chance of getting activating. Below, you will find the total number of Arcanes required to reach each rank.
