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 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.
