Hello everyone, I hope you all have been enjoying SP circuit as I have.

Today I'll be showcasing a similar Arcane set up on two different builds for Equinox that I find to be pretty useful. But before I get into the builds I want to go over the two Arcanes I'm using.

Arcane Blessing most know will grant permanent Health increases for the duration of the mission each time you pick up a Health orb. This effect at Rank 5 grants 1200 Health after you pick up 50 Health Orbs. Eximus, especially if you are running SP content, make for a really easy way to max this out in a relatively short amount of time. This makes it great for a lot frames capable of enduring hits in particular Night Form Equinox due to Pacify weakening and slowly enemy attacks.

Arcane Intention is one of the new Arcanes you can acquire from SP Circuit that allows you to gain Health for each Channeled ability you currently have active. This is great for Equinox she she has 2 in her default kit (Pacify/Provoke & Mend/Maim) and with Helminth you can subsume a 3rd. Both Gloom and Parasitic Armor count as Channeled Abilities, granting Health when active and with a Rank 5 Intention, you get 250 Health per active Channeled Ability (750).

So on both builds, Equinox can get up to 1950 Health from having the max effect of both Arcanes active. The second build has even more health due to me using a full Umbral build + Primed Vigor, which sets Equinox's modified Health to 1612 before the Arcanes are considered.

I sometimes run Umbral Intensify on 1st build when I want a stronger combined slow from Peaceful Provocation + Gloom, but this often makes it a bit more difficult to gain Energy through Rage if I do so, since enemies can end up basically frozen, especially if I trigger Power Drain before casting Pacify/Gloom to boost their strength.

Some additional notes:

- Energizing Shot can be used to gain energy while using Channeled abilities. You get 52 Energy from a maxed ES, and if you also run Zenurik and have the Passive Energy Pulse acquire, you gain an additional 50% restored over 5s (an additional 26 Energy for a total of 78 from a single orb).

- Arcane Intention Restores Health, while also increasing the maximum you have, by the maximum value it provides. So at R5 it restores 250 Health and can be used with Parasitic Armor intentionally to recover Health by deactivating/Reactivating the ability.

- I like to run I.Lex Prime with a Heat build so I can get easy Parazon Finisher prompts due to the Heat procs sapping large chunks of Health away from enemies on body shots without killing. This makes triggering Power Drain* easy for boosting all my Channeled Abilities.

- 1:50 wasn't me just randomly shooting at nothing; that was showing the ammo Efficiency from Lex Prime's Evolution II Trusty Sidearm. I run Trusty Sidearm, Lex Talionis, And Critical Parallel Evos (forgot to show that in the build, my apologies).

Also, Trusty Sidearm works with Gloom Regardless of enemies being in range, while Mend and Pacify Require enemies to be within Radius to take effect.

- My Power Drift not being a max Rank on the second build was an oversight from me testing out something prior to demoing the build.

That's all for now; thanks for watching and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below.
