| According to [[Osiris]], Arc is the element of motion and conduction, and is created when the electromagnetic forces of our universe struggle to achieve balance. According to [[Ikora]], Arc teaches that change is a fundamental aspect of the universe, and that "to wield it is to ride the storm of the unguessable".<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Osiris]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjEDQ0IlmAI Arc — Osiris's Interpretation]''</ref>

| ===Enemies===
| |
| The [[Fallen]] are the main users of Arc weapons, with all their light, medium and melee weapons, as well as many [[Abilities]], sporting this damage type. The [[Taken]] and [[Hive]] also use Arc damage across many of their weapons, most famously the Hive [[Boomer]]. The [[Scorn]] reserve Arc damage for the rare [[Scorn Mine Launcher]]s and the attacks of [[Abomination]]s. In ''[[Destiny]]'', the [[Cabal]] had no Arc weapons, with [[Psion]] melees and shockwaves being the only source of the damage, but in ''Destiny 2'' they started issuing the [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]] in large amounts to [[Legionaries]] and [[Phalanx]]es, though Psions switched to Void abilities. Common [[Vex]] don't use Arc weapons, but the explosions of [[Fanatic]]s, as well as the pools of [[Radiolaria]] commonly encountered in their territory deal Arc damage.
| |
| | |
| Arc [[Absorption Shield]]s are used by Fallen [[Captain]]s, [[Taken Centurion]]s, Scorn [[Chieftain]]s and [[Blood Guard Legionary|Blood Guard Legionaries]], and are added to [[Colossi]], [[Knight]]s and [[Harpies]] in higher difficulty activities, such as Legend [[Nightfall]]s.
