History[]
- Arcane Guardian was first introduced in the Trial mission The Law of Retribution, which was retired in Update 22.14 (2018-03-01).
- The Operation: Scarlet Spear event sold Arcane Guardian from Little Duck for 1,500 Scarlet Credits.
- The Operation: Orphix Venom event sold Arcane Guardian from Father for 300 Phasic Cells.
Notes[]
- The additional armor is not affected by mods and is additive to total armor. For example, a Chroma with a max rank Steel Fiber, and active Rank 5 Arcane Guardian will have an armor rating of:
Base Armor × (1 + Armor Mods) + Arcane Guardian = 370 × (1 + 1.1) + 900 = 1,677 armor. - The Arcane Duration cannot be refreshed, while one instance is still active.
- This Arcane cannot be activated while Revenant's Mesmer Skin is active.

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.
