Most useful/favorite offensive arcanes?

[Canach]

I really don't need any more protection. What Arcanes do you use that work really well, that help offensively (and which ones disappoint)?

All feedback welcome, thanks!

Arcane Victory and Fury are probably major offensive Arcanes, but I do not have enough of them or plat to acquire enough to max them both, aside from Arcane Guardian and Barrier.

Currently my Ash is using a maxed Arcane Momentum to make Vectis Prime forget what a 'reload' is. Reload-related Arcanes may be great if you don't want a speed-boost frame, reload speed mod, and have an Arcane slot with no idea what to add to it.

The disappointing Arcanes are all the ones I don't need - such as the specific damage proc or elemental proc resistance Arcanes, and ones that add speed when I don't need it. Would like to be able to transmute them.

Arcane Avenger (Crit chance boost) works for weapons with a crit build.  My favorite part: the condition is activated through normal gameplay (take damage).

I'm assuming that the condition is damage to health, not shields?

No it's damage to either.

Arcane Fury is good for melee

Arcane Velocity on Mesa’s regulators it’s straight broken

Arcane Avenger on anything tanky

Anybody use Arcane Awakening (On Reload, 40% for +100% Pistol Damage, 16s)? Also thinking about Strike (On Hit, 10% for +40% Melee Attack Speed, 12s) for Jat Kittag.

Sounds like Momentum would be ideal for Dread!  Does Dread qualify as a sniper though?

Thank you for this idea.  That maybe the one arcane that I might actually like.

Dread is a bow. Bows do not qualify as snipers unless/until there's a sniper/crossbow hybrid.

There is the Daikyu.  It can be considered THE sniper bow.  It's very similar to the Lanka in a lot of ways mechanically.

I use Arcane Awakening on Harrow. Don't know why but, I pretty much exclusively use pistols with Harrow. Give Awakening a try with Sicarus or Akbolto Prime.

Offensive Arcanes aren't that useful by nature of scaling damage.

In the end you'll have much more trouble staying alive than doing damage.

There's a handful of frames which make decent use of offensive Arcanes like Invisibility frames, Wukong, Zephyr, Trinity and Nekros but most frames need Defensive / Utility Arcanes to stay alive and function. I've always found Avenger esp funny since you can't afford to take hits by the time you'd want the damage boost.

I rarely use Offensive Arcanes but when I do it's based on the play style I've chosen to run with. Melee Invis frames which I also rarely use I'd go with Fury / Strike. Trinity / Nekros can afford to use an Avenger usually with a Grace or Guardian. Wukong and Zephyr are prolly the only ones I'd use two Offensive.
