What Are Arcs?
Arcs are NTE's weapon system. Each character can only equip an Arc matching their type (Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, or Synthesis). S-rank Arcs provide the strongest passive effects and are the endgame goal for each character build.

Arc Research Program (Weapon Gacha)
NTE's weapon gacha uses Tri-Keys (Arc Research Program) — separate pity from Scarborough Fair characters (70/90). Arc: any S-rank at 60 pulls, featured signature Arc at 80 pulls worst-case (Icy Veins / in-game). See Tri-Keys guide and character vs Arc pity table.
- Pull 60: guaranteed any S-rank Arc (6 multis)
- Pull 80: guaranteed featured Arc (8 multis · 12,800 Annulith)
- Not 70/90: those numbers are Scarborough Fair character boards only
- F2P advice: Many top S-rank Arcs are farmable for free — prioritize character banners first
