History[]
- Arcane Aegis was first introduced in the Trial mission The Jordas Verdict, which was retired in Update 22.14 (2018-03-01).
- The Operation: Scarlet Spear event sold Arcane Aegis from Little Duck for 2,000 Scarlet Credits.
- The Operation: Orphix Venom event sold Arcane Aegis from Father for 400 Phasic Cells.
- The Operation: Gargoyle's Cry event sold Arcane Aegis from Vigile Jahu Gargoyle for 6 Grotesque Splinter.
Notes[]
- Arcane Aegis causes the innate Warframe shield regeneration to activate regardless of whether the player has recently taken damage or not, with a bonus 30% of maximum shield value additionally regenerated per second (at rank 5).
- While the bonus shield per second is affected by neither Fast Deflection nor Fortitude, the innate shield regeneration is, causing the enhancement to be more potent with these mods equipped.
- As soon as the effect activates, the innate shield regeneration and bonus maximum shield regeneration remain active for the entire duration of the buff, even if the player takes damage.
- with Redirection, Primed Vigor, Augur Accord, and Fast Deflection equipped on Hildryn, for a total shield capacity of 5355 - Hildryn with Arcane Aegis will have a shield regeneration value of 2143.7 shields per second.
- Can trigger when receiving damage to overshields.
- Does not generate overshields.
- As this Arcane is only triggered when shields are damaged, this has no benefit on Inaros and Nidus (who have no shields to begin with), or during a Nightmare Mode mission with the No Shields modifier.
- Interestingly, this Arcane can still trigger while receiving damage during the time between shields are depleted, but before you begin taking damage to your health.

Patch History[]
Hotfix 34.0.2 (2023-10-19)
- Fixed Arcane Aegis exclusively triggering when not being attacked instead of when Shields are damaged. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1368186-arcane-aegis-massive-nerf
Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)
- ARCANE STAT CHANGES PER RANK
We’ve adjusted the values of older Arcanes with the goal of making lower rank Arcanes more viable, and more desirable while collecting as a result. In short, there are three stats that each Arcane tends to have (speaking generally) -- for example, a percentage chance, a stat buff, and the duration of the buff.
Certain Arcanes increase all of these stats per rank (making them scale exponentially), but we are changing it so that only one stat is affected by rank (making it scale linearly). The other stats will now be at the max-rank value regardless of the Arcane Rank, thereby buffing lower-rank Arcanes as a result.

On Shield Damaged: 3% (was 1%) chance for 5%/30% Shield Recharge for 12s (was 2s)
