Arcanes are items in Warframe that provide potentially significant benefits for you to do damage, take damage, and survive in endgame content. They slot into Warframes, Operators, and weapons, and provide an advantage when a specific trigger is activated. For example, some may have a chance of activating when you get a headshot on an enemy, while others might be enabled when you take damage.
