History in the Meta

Arcane Staffs are the ultimate utility multiplier. Rather than dealing raw damage, they dictate the meta by purging enemy defensive cooldowns and massively empowering allied burst.

Where it Shines

They are mandatory in ZvZ bomb squads, highly valued in 5v5 Crystal League, and provide excellent niche support in 2v2/3v3 formats.

Best Synergies

Arcane is the best friend of any burst weapon—Fire Staffs, Crossbows, and Clarent Blades become immensely deadlier when buffed by Arcane.
