Notes[]

The additional armor is unaffected by mods. For example, a Chroma with a max rank Steel Fiber, and an active rank-5 Arcane Ultimatum will have an armor rating of:

Armor = Base Armor \times (1 + Armor Mod) + Arcane Ultimatum

Armor = 350 \times (1 + 1.1) + 1200

Armor = 1935

Mercy kills will activate the effect.
The effect can be activated by the user's Sunika or Sahasa Kubrow performing a finisher attack via their unique precepts.
Duration can be refreshed.

Trivia[]

This arcane was originally dropped in The Jordas Verdict. Following Update 22.14 (2018-03-01), all Trial missions were retired from the game and the arcane drops in turn were moved to the Eidolons instead.
