Warframe Scarlet Spear Arcanes Guide – which Arcanes should you grind for?

Warframe’s Scarlet Spear event is a solid opportunity to grind for some Arcanes. Normally locked away behind the Eidolons, players who don’t venture out onto the Plains of Eidolon at night will now have the chance to get their hands on some pretty powerful Arcanes. Knowing what to buy from Little Duck is helpful, so in this article, we will run through some of the best Arcanes that you can get from the event to add a little more power to your build.

Remember, it takes 21 Arcanes to get to Rank 5, and we will be showing the Rank 5 stats below. The table below is in order of Tier, with what we consider to be the top priority in the first slot. The Scarlet Credits cost shown below is for a single Arcane.

There are other Arcanes available that would work very well on niche builds, but the above are the important ones if you are just at the point in the game where you are starting to explore the impact Arcanes can have on you build.

Now, it’s a good idea to prioritize these based on how many Scarlet Credits they cost, if you prefer to go after them that way. The higher the Scarlet Credits cost, the higher the tier, and the deeper into the triple Eidolon fight, you need to get a chance of them dropping normally. That’s a lot of time, or a lot of Platinum to get a full set. Being able to bypass it all is one of the best aspects of the Scarlet Spear event.

Make sure you check out all the available Arcanes, as there may be a specific one there that works well with your favorite build, but you can’t go wrong if you get Tier 5 versions of all the above.
