History[]
- Arcane Avenger was first introduced in the Trial mission The Law of Retribution, which was retired in Update 22.14 (2018-03-01).
- The Operation: Scarlet Spear event sold Arcane Avenger from Little Duck for 2,000
Scarlet Credits. - The Operation: Orphix Venom event sold Arcane Avenger from Father for 400 Phasic Cells.
Notes[]
- A Rank 5 Arcane Avenger adds 45 percentage points to a weapon's critical chance after other bonuses.
- Arcane Avenger stacks additively with other percentage point bonuses, such as Covenant and Cat's Eye. For example, an Atterax with a max rank True Steel, Cat's Eye, and Arcane Avenger, will have a [25% × (1 + 120%) + 60% + 45%] = 160% critical chance on attacks.
- Highly effective with weapons with high critical damage multipliers.
- Weapons that have 0% critical chance can crit with this enhancement, although due to their lack of a critical multiplier, their damage will not be altered unless the shot lands on the head, which yields 2x critical multiplier.
- Aside from damage to shields and health, this Arcane can be triggered by the following instances of damage:
- Damage to player Overguard.
- Self-damage from Combat Discipline.
- Damage while the player is invulnerable, such as Hysteria or Absorb.
- Damage while Mesmer Skin or Mesmer Shield is active will not trigger this Arcane, unless Combat Discipline is equipped.
Patch History[]
Update 35.1 (2024-02-20)
- Fixed certain Arcanes (including but not limited to: Arcane Avenger) having “0” in their Buff icons instead of the actual stat.
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.
- Arcane Avenger
On Damaged: 21% (was 4%) chance for +7.5%/45% Critical Chance for 12s (was 2s)
Update 16.0 (2015-03-19)
- Introduced.
