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 Tempo
On Critical Hit: 15% (was 3%) chance for +15%/90% Fire Rate to Shotguns for 12s (was 2s)
Update 17.9.1 (2015-10-29)
- Introduced with The Jordas Verdict.

I don't know how to edit this page so I'll just write this here as a little extra info:
Arcane Tempo's buff timer is refreshable.
This means that if you land a critical hit while the buff is still active, the buff timer will reset back to 12 seconds (assuming the arcane is Rank 5).
Cool, but this arcane is sorta useless no matter what
^
Shotguns are nice but Assault Shotguns are nicer
Tenet Arca Plasmor would like a word with all the nay-sayers down below.
maybe good for khom,otherwise total crap :(
It's always been a great QoL buff to the Corinth's handling, and two of the recent shotguns (Bubonico/Cedo) also turned out to make good use of it due to their huge mags/ammo pools.
Mmm no
So Arcane Acceleration is a straight up upgrade to this? There's really no point in ever using this unless you want to stack both for lulz.
Acceleration doesn't work with shotguns.
Yea DE specifically made sure the two arcanes affect primary weapons separately. Which is strange cause both arcanes are shit anyway.
The fact that any crit procs this buff makes its easy to proc it off any decent crit-based melee with blood rush, or even sacrifical steel heavy attack builds.
Does Fulmin benefit from this bonus
Even though it fires Plasmor-like projectile with fall off damage, it's classified as Rifle in the game.
So, no, it won't benefit from this.
I just killed my first eidolon solo and this is what I get!?
10% chance + 8 sec duration.wtf?
The first point in notes is its only saving grace.
Put it on Kohm and with all that multishot, despite the mediocre crit chance, it's still stupidly easy to get atleast 1 critical hit to keep activating/refreshing it. And the Kohm really needs a fire rate mod, but doesn't have the room in its build for it, so this arcane is a godsend for it.
pretty useless arcane. the shotguns that have crit potential are like vaykor hek and corinth etc and shotguns like those have low magazine and are semi auto shooting one at a time... increasing fire rate on those are pretty pointless
whereas shotguns like sobek, boar etc that can actually go full auto and has larger magazine of like 20 or something doesnt have crit so the arcane is never gonna activate.
redundant arcane
Consider using it with Astilla - this arcane is very good for that weapon
All shotguns have critical potential except the Phantasma. You're meant to make a hybridized build for any given shotgun so that the weapon is loaded with damage and status chance with just a hint of critical potency to boost performance.
Thus, this arcane is very useful on weapons like the Strun Wraith, Kohm and Sobek, which are otherwise very lethal but don't have room in their better builds for a firing speed mod (excluding Arcanes), which is where this Arcane comes in, doubly so if you equip two of them.
just bring something else along, it says it activates from melee, secondary, kubro, kavat stuff n things
play name Yaser111 : dose Arcane Tempo effect [ Pyrana ] a shotgun sidearm(shotgun)?
No, Pyrana is a secondry and require Arcane Velocity. it may look like a pocket shotgun, but its a secondry
Does this work with Titania's Dex Pixia?
I tried it with a shotgun as primary. It seems to increase the fire speed of Dex Pixia.
Just killed an ediolon teralyst and got it - You should update the site!
same
I have been trying to buy few for past 3 days, no response on Trade... How much is it worth when finnaly someone answers me? Approximately
it's the equivelent of accelerated blast sometimes why would you buy it?
KOHM OP PLS NERF .. .
shhhhh no we've lasted long enough dont draw attention
people use their boltors and somas but we know the true dps beast
Nah I'm rocking with Sobek here.
Shoosh.
ah! arcane avenger partner!
nah arcane avenger partners better with itself. It's the only arcane that can actually stack with itself instead of just refreshing.
