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.
- Arcane Strike
On Hit: 15% (was 3%) chance for +10%/60% Attack Speed to Melee Weapons for 18s (was 3s)
Update 22.12 (2018-02-09)
- Now has a base value of 10%.
Update 16.0 (2015-03-19)
- Introduced.

I don't remember quite well, but i DE said Arcane strike + Berserker fury combo don't work together anymore, am i wrong?
But i think*
A Lone Tenno a few comments down state that this procs on Warframe abilities and I can corroborate with the statement, even Pillage from Hildryn can proc this Arcane.
It should really be noted that, in case of Ash, it only speeds up bladestorm if he joins it himself and NOT the clones.
arcane totally useless, arcane fury has a chance to activate when it hits a critical attack and increases melee damage by 180%
Speed will only take you so far. If you don’t have the damage to bypass resistances and armor, you will be wailing on enemies for days. That’s a fact of game mechanics, not opinion.
If you gain more DPS from more speed than from more damage, then more damage is just worse than more speed, (unless you specifically aim to kill enemies with one hit, which won't work for higher levels.)
More speed also means more procs, meaning more reliable slash, meaning it handles armor better.
However, berserker being a standard attack speed mod now and condition overload having been nerfed make Fury a proper contender now.
It's subjective, nerds. If your damage is so low, no matter how high your attack speed also no use. Same goes for if damage very high, it won't help if attack speed is very slow. So there is no 1 thing is definitely better than the other.
If you have Condition Overload and no attack speed mods on your weapon, Arcane Strike will outperform Arcane Fury if enemies are affected by 3 or more status procs. It really just depends on how you build your weapon.
can you refresh the duration or do you have to fall back to zero every 18 seconds?
you can refresh...for now
Can confirmed affect all weapon you use, not only melee
Actually, any weapon can trigger this arcane. The attack speed bonus only affects melee.
Not only weapons even warframe abilitys,allot off the time when im playing my slight off hands mirage its proccing the arcane to all the time
Even on exalted weapons? umbra blades, iron staff ecc...?
So, Berserker for any melee... Lovely. :)
If you love meleeing this arcane is for you, it lets you ditch berserker and slap spoiled strike for more dmg. Get two sets, they're 100p each.
This arcane is actually really nice. Two sets of these and you can forget having Berserker or Primed Fury.
Unless of course you're trying to accomplish ludicrous speed :)
Shove a Volt and a Valkyr on it with everything else and you ascend to a new plane of fast.
Sure, it sounds nice and all, but does it affect the speed of the swings of Atlas's 1st ability?
Atlas' Landslide is not effected by attack speed mods, strength mods etc. Very much doubt its effected by casting speed mods such as Natural Talent. Though this isn't a mod, It does not effect Landslide.
isn't landslide affected by power strength or am i getting something wrong?
My boi got buffed af niceeeeeeeee!
Does this affect the speed of the Zenistars disc?
wtf.. ths increases fire rate of melee weapon not attack speed of melee weapon.
WOW you are a one of a kind. Stupid pleb, git gud!
fire rate in melee weapon
LUL
How much does this one sell for?
5 cents
20-30p
so whole set is about 200 to 300p?
Does it speed up the redeemer's charge attack animation?
Yes
Does Arcane Strike really work multiplicative unlike some other Arcanes like Fury that only seem to be additive? And when does it actually multiply? After all Mods? Does it also multiply Ability attack speed?
I actually did the testing and Arcane Strike is NOT multiplicative with Mods OR Abilities.
Spores trigger this effect? Damn, need to get this on my Saryn.
All WF skills that deal damage trigger it. Maim, Radial Disarm, World on Fire, Overload, etc...
having 2 arcane strike sets actually do stack their buffs

Thanks for the info. Now I'm glad I have almost 17 Strikes! :D
can still effect also trigger on bleed or toxin DOT?
yup
I wanna say this works with Bladestorm because Ive used it on him before but noone has confirmed it. I have witnessed it tho myself but with Fury and Quickening equipped its hard to tell. Anyone here can confirm this speeds up Bladestorm?
Considering that Berserker doesn't work with Bladestorm (AFAIK), I'd say that Strike doesn't either, but it's not a confirmation.
Why would Quickening work with BS?
Last I checked, if you equip your melee and channel before casting, Blade Storm inherits Quickening's attack speed boost. It may only work if you enable toggled channeling though.
Quickening works if you are channeling, berserker doesn't work, arcane strike works.
