What is an Arcane Enhancement?

Arcane Enhancements or Arcanes are a type of item that grant buffs to certain equipment after achieving specific conditions in a mission. The types of Arcanes you can use depend on the set they were made for.
You can install Arcanes freely and then immediately remove or replace them without worry because they won’t be destroyed.

Players can rank up their Arcanes easily by using and destroying duplicate unranked Arcanes of the same type. When you rank up your Arcanes, the effects are increased. Each rank-up needs one more Arcane compared to the previous rank, The max rank of an Arcane relies on their type

Should You Use Theorem and Residual Arcanes?

If you want to hear the truth, then don’t- use Theorem and Residual Arcane Warframe in 2022. What is the problem? The theorems and residual arcana were not playable and had many issues at first. But after some buffs and fixes, these Arcanes have become quite good for low-level enemies, but they are not as good at high-level enemies.

Many players were left frustrated when they found out that Theorem and Residual Arcanes weren’t sufficient to fight enemies at a high level. Though Theorem Arcanes are not bad compared to other Arcanes, they do have some power. But there are many Arcanes that are more powerful than Theorem Arcanes. if you want to max out your Residual & Theorem Arcanes, you will have a hard time doing so against powerful enemies.
