Notes[]
- Any Critical Hit can trigger the effect.
Tips[]
- Using a Sentinel weapon with a proper sustained critical hit rate is a good way making use of this Arcane, weapons include:
- Prime Laser Rifle
- Deth Machine Rifle
- Sweeper Prime due to its pellet count
- It's crucial to use it on a Sentinels such as Diriga, Djinn, Wyrm Prime, or Taxon whose weapon are modified with a proper range attack mod like with Eagle Eye.
- This is because many of their shots miss on mid and high range.
- It's recommended to avoid using mods like Vicious Spread or Heavy Caliber.
- None of this works if the player is in a stealth state because being so makes a Sentinel stop firing its weapon at enemies.
Patch History[]
Hotfix 35.0.3 (2023-12-18)
- Fixed the amount of Vosfor received from dissolving Arcane Momentum being lower than intended.
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.
