Notes

• The additional armor is not affected by mods and is additive to total armor. For example, a  Chroma with a max rank  Steel Fiber, and active Rank 5  Arcane Tanker will have an armor rating of:
  Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods) + Arcane Tanker = 350 × (1 + 1.1) + 1200 = 1,935 armor

Tips

• As Arcane Tanker increases total armor, it can significantly boost any ability that relies on total armor, when casting while under its effect. These include:
  •  Rhino's  Iron Skin, which can be further amplified with  Ironclad Charge.
  •  Atlas'  Tectonics and  Rumblers
  •  Frost's  Snow Globe
  •  Gara's  Mass Vitrify
  •  Nezha's  Warding Halo

Patch History

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.
