Acquisition

• May appear as a Steel Path Circuit Tier 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, or +11 reward on a weekly rotational basis.
• May be sold by Acrithis for 10  Pathos Clamp on a daily rotational basis, requiring Drifter Intrinsics Opportunity Rank 9 for the arcanes to appear in her shop.
• One of possible rewards from completing the optional Undercroft Portals in Duviri while on the Steel Path.

Notes

• The bonus stacks for every channeled ability simultaneously active, up to a maximum of 4 stacks (+1000 Health at max rank).
• Besides increasing maximum health, activating this Arcane also heals the Warframe by the same amount of hitpoints.
• After the ability that sustained this Arcane's effect ends, there is a 1 second delay during which said ability cannot be reactivated.

Eligible Abilities

• Only the following abilities can trigger this Arcane:
  •  Atlas's  Tectonics (unless  Tectonic Fracture is used) and  Rumblers.
  •  Banshee's  Sound Quake (unless  Resonating Quake is used.)
  •  Baruuk's  Elude and  Serene Storm.
  •  Caliban's  Razor Gyre.
  •  Chroma's  Spectral Scream and  Effigy.

  •  Equinox's  Pacify & Provoke and  Mend & Maim.

  •  Gauss's  Mach Rush,  Kinetic Plating and  Redline.
  •  Grendel's  Pulverize.
  •  Gyre's  Arcsphere and  Coil Horizon (transferable via Helminth).

  • All of  Hildryn's abilities, including  Pillage, which can be transferred via Helminth.
    • Pillage cannot be cast while  Aegis Storm is active, limiting the number of stacks.
    • Pillage cannot remain active for more than a few seconds at a time.
  •  Inaros's  Sandstorm.
  • All of  Ivara's abilities.
    •  Navigator only qualifies for the bonus while actively controlling a projectile.
    •  Quiver (transferable via Helminth) only activates the effect while its arrows are in flight.  Navigator can be used to maintain the effect for longer.
    • Briefly becoming visible while  Prowl is active doesn't break the Arcane's effect.
    • Using  Artemis Bow's alt-fire to loose Quiver's arrows doesn't activate the Arcane.
  •  Jade's  Glory on High.
  •  Lavos's  Vial Rush (transferable via Helminth).
  •  Limbo's  Stasis and  Cataclysm.
  •  Mag's  Magnetize (only when hold-cast).

  •  Rhino's  Iron Skin (only when  Iron Shrapnel is used).
    • Activating Iron Skin already prevents all damage to health.
  •  Sevagoth's  Gloom, which is transferable via Helminth.
  •  Titania's  Razorwing.
    • Razorwing does not trigger Seismic Bond.
  •  Trinity's  Well of Life (transferable via Helminth).
  •  Valkyr's  Hysteria.
  •  Wisp's  Sol Gate and  Wil-O-Wisp (only when tap-cast).

    • Cloud Walker and Defy already provide complete immunity to damage.
  •  Yareli's  Merulina and  Riptide (only when tap-cast).
  • The Helminth-exclusive  Parasitic Armor.

Tips

• Many Warframes lack channeled abilities altogether, making it impossible to use this Arcane with them. Certain abilities can be transferred via Helminth to circumvent this:
  •  Gloom can be infused onto any Warframe in order to give them a channeled ability and enable the use of this Arcane.
  •  Mind Control and  Parasitic Armor are abilities with high base duration that can maintain this Arcane's effect without constant energy drain.
  •  Pillage,  Coil Horizon and  Quiver are also Helminth-compatible and can make use of this Arcane's secondary effect of instant healing upon ability activation.
