Arc Research Program is the separate Arc or weapon-style pull lane. This page exists to stop users from confusing it with a normal character banner. It explains Tri-Keys, multi-only pull wording, featured Arc pity, and why character plans should come before Arc spending.
Arc Research Program should usually come after character ownership and build direction are clear. Pull here only when the featured Arc directly supports a confirmed character plan; otherwise, Tri-Keys and converted resources are better preserved.
Best for: Players with a locked character build route who are optimizing a specific Arc or weapon-style upgrade.
Skip if: Skip if you are still choosing your first limited character, standard selector, or core team direction.
Resource risk: The risk is resource fragmentation: Arc spending can feel productive while delaying the characters that make those Arcs valuable.
The user wants to know whether Arc Research is worth pulling before their character ownership and build route are confirmed.
Arc Research is a separate optimization lane, so it solves a different decision from character banners.
Tri-Key spending is valuable only when the target Arc supports a confirmed build or character plan.
Pull-unit wording, exact featured Arc behavior, and live UI labels must remain待验证 until confirmed in game.
Beginners should usually skip Arc Research until a character core is stable. A powerful Arc is low value if the account has not solved who will use it.
Version 1.0 Arc planning page. Public guides describe Tri-Key and Arc Research mechanics, but exact live UI wording and featured target behavior remain待验证.
Prydwen is the main structure source for Arc Research mechanics; Dexerto provides gacha-system cross-checks. Official pages support only broader launch context, not individual Arc target recommendations.
Unique Arc/Tri-Key optimization intent with distinct resource-risk content.
Arc Research is a trap if you treat it like a character banner. Character ownership and build context should be solved first.
F2P players should default to saving Tri-Keys until the account has a clear carry or core team that can justify Arc investment.
If you spend here, it should be because the Arc materially improves a proven build, not because the character banner plan feels uncertain.
Collectors may still enjoy Arc pulls, but should understand that this lane competes with future character flexibility more directly than it first appears.
