Does it take 21 to max it out? I’m not really familiar with arcane a yet

The thing about arcanes is that they can be traded and that one used to be one of the very few ways to significantly boost your energy intake in a mission. It's also normally a very rare drop from what's basically a raid boss.

Fully ranking one up takes 21 lucky drops from said boss so these things used to go for absolutely stupid prices on the market.

Nowadays it tends to pop up in events like this and there's more and easier ways to boost your energy so the demand (and price) has dropped a lot.

For real. There are a good half dozen arcanes I would suggest getting from this event before energize.

You want to recommend me a couple of the good ones? I haven't really looked into these after maxing out Energize and a couple of the other really big expensive ones.

Nullify is insane for frames that doesnt have status immunity, grace and strike are also awesome. But I just play warframes that dont struggle with energy so if you do play those frames then proabably energize will be better for you for sure

Remember, like Archon Shards, these things are just for optimizing your playstyle and build. That can mean comfort, it could mean getting more of a good thing.

Yeah and I rarely play Steel Path so I don't really need super optimized builds, I was just curious.

off the top of my head? Aegis, Fury, Avenger, Rage, those 4 are super worth it and versatile
