If you’re approaching the end game of Warframe, you’ll want some Arcanes to help bring your builds to the next level. Here’s how to get the Melee Duplicate Arcane in Warframe.
Where to Farm the Melee Duplicate Arcane in Warframe
The Melee Duplicate Arcane can be acquired by completing the Netracells missions from Tagfer in the new Sanctum Anatomica. Upon completing these missions, you’ll have a 5.62% chance to receive Melee Duplicate as a reward. Remember that you can only complete Netracell missions five times weekly, with this counter resetting every Monday at 0:00 UTC (Sunday at 5 PM PT). Since you need 21 to max out the Arcane, you’ll be farming this for a while.
If you want to farm these effectively, your best move would be to get a competent group of people together and run five of these in one session, then just go about whatever else you want to do in Warframe that week. Then, do it again when the next week rolls around. Having the same group every time can help, but isn’t necessary.
What Does the Melee Duplicate Arcane Do?
Having the Melee Duplicate Arcane attached to your melee weapon will give it a percent chance to strike a second time, effectively doubling your damage output. This makes the Arcane extremely effective for melee builds that center around crit damage. Since you’ll be striking twice, it’s double that standard build’s damage and a whole lot of raw power. The following chart shows the chance to strike twice depending on the Arcane’s rank:
| Arcane Rank | % Chance to Strike Twice |
|---|---|
| 0 | 25% |
| 1 | 40% |
| 2 | 55% |
| 3 | 70% |
| 4 | 85% |
| 5 | 100% |
While the chance of getting the Arcane may make this seem daunting, it’s important to note that it’s a powerful Arcane, even at lower ranks. Even something as low as 40% is still a massive upgrade over not having the Arcane.
