Warframe Incarnon Tier Lists SUCK (Here Is Mine) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hey guys, what's up? Ziplin here and
- 0:01today I'm going to be ranking all of the
- 0:03incarn weapons in Warframe in the same
- 0:05way that I ranked Warframes in my last
- 0:07tier list video. To understand my
- 0:09position on tier lists in Warframe, that
- 0:11video is going to be linked down in the
- 0:13description below. Pretty much all of
- 0:14the Incarnum weapons are going to be
- 0:16among some of the strongest weapons in
- 0:18your roster. Weapons that have a niche
- 0:20are given higher ratings than weapons
- 0:22without niches, even if they might be
- 0:25worse than those weapons. This is simply
- 0:27because they bring your account
- 0:28something that the other weapons don't.
- 0:30For example, the Bratton Incarnan is
- 0:32unquestionably a better weapon than the
- 0:35Bronco incarn. However, the Bratton
- 0:37Incarnan is also a worse version of the
- 0:40bursting incarn. If you have the
- 0:41bursting incarn, the Bratton incarnes
- 0:44its value, but the Bronco incarn. This
- 0:47is because the Bronco incarn can slot
- 0:49dizzy in rounds, which you can then use
- 0:51to great effect on a frame like Araxia
- 0:53because of her easy access to finishers.
- 0:55So on my list, the Bratton Incarn would
- 0:58place lower than the Bronco. However,
- 1:00incarnate weapons are on an 8week
- 1:02rotation and there's no shortcut to get
- 1:04them. If you have, for example, just
- 1:06missed week six of the rotation for the
- 1:08bursten incarn, you still have good
- 1:10reason to pick up either the Dera in
- 1:12week 8 or the Bratton in week one to
- 1:15fill that slot until you can get to the
- 1:16Buren. Unless you use platinum, it's
- 1:18going to take you 24 weeks to get all of
- 1:21the incarnins, which is almost half a
- 1:23year. This list is intended to inform
- 1:26you how to spend your time effectively
- 1:28for the sake of your overall account's
- 1:29health. Again, if we were to rank every
- 1:32incarnum within the scope of all of the
- 1:34weapons in Warframe, pretty much every
- 1:36single one would be S or A tier. They're
- 1:38all fantastic, and even the ones at the
- 1:41very bottom of this list are better than
- 1:4390% of all of the weapons in Warframe.
- 1:45That comes with the territory of having
- 1:47nearly 600 weapons in the game. So, with
- 1:50that out of the way, let's talk about
- 1:51the tiers. Excellent in all content or S
- 1:54tier. First, we have weapons that are
- 1:56excellent in all content. These weapons
- 1:58are basically plugandplay. You equip
- 2:00them, shoot or slash with them, and
- 2:03you'll have absolutely zero trouble with
- 2:05any content that you take them into via
- 2:07base steel path and all the way up to
- 2:09level cap. The latron prime. The latron
- 2:11prime with the incarn form is the best
- 2:14gun in the game. There's a million ways
- 2:16to run the latron and they're all good.
- 2:18It's extremely easy to charge and has a
- 2:21generous battery pack of 40, which is
- 2:23really good considering each projectile
- 2:25bounces six times. You can run it as a
- 2:27pure utility weapon focused on armor
- 2:30stripping and viral priming while it
- 2:32gives you energy back with primary
- 2:33exhilarate. You can run it as a hybrid
- 2:35armor strip weapon where it can do good
- 2:37damage while still having that armor
- 2:39stripping potential. You can run it on
- 2:40gripping setups paired with the sciot
- 2:43snare where you would use blast to blow
- 2:45everything up and much much more.
- 2:47Nothing comes close to the laterron,
- 2:49especially in terms of the amount of
- 2:51omniaform that you're going to have to
- 2:52spend on it. Also, you want to shoot at
- 2:54the enemy's feet, not directly at them.
- 2:56The laterron is going to hit them twice
- 2:58if you do so. Burst and prime. This gun
- 3:00isn't in this tier for its raw damage,
- 3:02its room clearing potential, its
- 3:04utility, or anything else. It's in this
- 3:06tier because of its incarn efficiency.
- 3:09It has a battery of 600 and the best
- 3:11fire rate mod that you can dream of
- 3:13since it gives you parkour velocity and
- 3:15a little bit of gas to give it some
- 3:17minor AOE. There's two main ways to run
- 3:19it. One is a raw damage [ __ ] monster
- 3:21that looks to kill mobs immediately by
- 3:23just shooting them in the head. And the
- 3:24other is a more traditional hybrid
- 3:26weapon that you can pair with a heat
- 3:28inherit epitap to deal absolutely
- 3:30massive heat procs that will more or
- 3:31less instantly kill a level capist. The
- 3:34Geotoxicist has a spectacular incarnum
- 3:36mode and a terrible incarnoff mode.
- 3:39Thankfully, it doesn't take a lot to get
- 3:41it into its incarn form, and it's got a
- 3:43decent battery pack of 270. Dead head is
- 3:46amazing on this weapon because of its
- 3:48ricochets prioritizing head shot. This
- 3:50also means to keeping up galvanized
- 3:51crosshairs is extremely easy. On a
- 3:54normal dual toxicus build, we only use
- 3:56one elemental mod, prime convulsion,
- 3:58because it combines with the toxin
- 3:59element from frenzy to give us
- 4:01corrosive. Punchfruit is also an
- 4:03important stat to mod for because it
- 4:05leads to more ricochets. In addition to
- 4:07being one of the best ricochet pistols
- 4:08in the game with secondary outburst,
- 4:11it's also the weapon for breaking idol
- 4:12on limbs. Nami solo has a 1.0
- 4:15followthrough, absurd range, slap
- 4:17influence on it, play vault, hold melee,
- 4:19unabonga, everything's dead. The Okina
- 4:22Prime is the best ranged influence in
- 4:24Carnon. The seekers are going to
- 4:25crowdcontrol enemies around you and proc
- 4:27magnetic, which is especially useful
- 4:29against things like Eximus and Fracks.
- 4:31They'll also freeze enemies without
- 4:33overguard pretty much immediately. If
- 4:35you can outsource attack speed to
- 4:36something like vault with his speed
- 4:37ability, you can drop the attack speed
- 4:39mod for galvanized elementalist or
- 4:41magnetic rush. It also has special uses
- 4:44as a movement stat stick for frames that
- 4:46don't use parkour to get around as much
- 4:47such as titania, hilddren, jade, araxia,
- 4:51etc. Speaking of movement, we have the
- 4:53predos. The predos is the best movement
- 4:55stat stick in the game providing absurd
- 4:58parkour velocity and general movement
- 5:00buffs. It also isn't bad at taking out
- 5:02the weaker enemies in the game. If you
- 5:04mod it right, you can easily take the
- 5:06Predos to level cap. Excellent in
- 5:08specific content or a tier. The next
- 5:10tier is for weapons that are excellent
- 5:12in specific content. You may have
- 5:14noticed a few pretty crazy emissions
- 5:16from the previous tier, but don't worry,
- 5:18this is where we're going to get into
- 5:20why I excluded those in this category.
- 5:22The Strum Prime is one of the best level
- 5:23cap weapons in the game, but actually
- 5:25struggles in base steel path because it
- 5:28literally just kills too quickly,
- 5:30meaning you struggle to turn on your
- 5:31incarn form. Now, this is a pretty good
- 5:34problem to have because you're killing
- 5:36the enemies fast, right? But because you
- 5:37can't turn on that incarn mode, you're
- 5:39better off using a different weapon that
- 5:41gives you AoE or beamlike capabilities.
- 5:44The Turret is probably the single best
- 5:46base steel path weapon in the game.
- 5:48However, it has a difficult time scaling
- 5:51into level cap. It's really versatile,
- 5:53really good at clearing rooms with a
- 5:54corrusive and blast build, and it's just
- 5:56really good at killing the corpus as
- 5:58well because of the beam being pure
- 5:59toxin. However, whenever it comes to
- 6:01endurance, though, it starts to fall off
- 6:03a little bit. This is partly because you
- 6:05can't really scale it with the likes of
- 6:06Galvanized Aptitude, partly because the
- 6:08innate toxin is always going to mean you
- 6:10have a much lower heat waiting than
- 6:12you'd like to have. It is also just the
- 6:14nature of being a beam weapon. A lot of
- 6:16your damage comes through status effects
- 6:18and uh that's not so good here. Make no
- 6:21mistake, it's going to kill level cap
- 6:22fodder enemies, but it's not going to do
- 6:24so really quick and it's not really
- 6:26going to do much to a lot of the
- 6:28stronger enemies like a fra for example,
- 6:30at least not alongside something that's
- 6:32going to buff up the damage like a sarin
- 6:34or a vault. The furus is the best single
- 6:36target killer in the game. You can run
- 6:38it in a lot of different ways because of
- 6:40how versatile it is when it comes to the
- 6:42arcanes that you can use. You can make
- 6:44it a crit monster with secondary
- 6:45outburst. Make it extremely consistent
- 6:48with Cascadia flare. Absolutely wreck
- 6:50fracks overguard enemies with secondary
- 6:52fortifier. Or you can even use secondary
- 6:54encumber when facing demolist to scale
- 6:56galvanized shot to absurd levels. The
- 6:59main downside of the furus is its short
- 7:01range, relatively poor incarn, and
- 7:04pretty bad incarn off mode. When you've
- 7:06got the incarn turned on, it literally
- 7:08overkills enemies. You deal so much
- 7:10damage with this gun, but it really
- 7:12struggles when it comes to big groups of
- 7:14enemies. So, really good single target,
- 7:16really bad at killing big groups. One of
- 7:18the OG Incarnum weapons, the Lem is
- 7:20still one of the goats. Even if we have
- 7:23moved away from using a non-ritum, you
- 7:25want to build it for elemental damage
- 7:27and some crit, then using overwhelming
- 7:29attrition and fortifier to delete Eximus
- 7:31and Fracks enemies like nobody's
- 7:33business. Enervate Lem builds are also
- 7:35really strong in disruption style
- 7:37missions. The main benefit of the light
- 7:38item is that it has a non-kill
- 7:40contingent 1 200% base damage evolution
- 7:44which is extremely strong for its
- 7:45neutral game. This makes it very very
- 7:48easy to mod and let you run almost any
- 7:50arcane that you want. The main problems
- 7:51with the light item are that it takes
- 7:53much more time to charge its incarnum
- 7:55battery than most other incarnum weapons
- 7:57is reasonably single target and it
- 7:59doesn't have the incarn efficiency of
- 8:01let's say a burst and prime for example.
- 8:02The Atomus is basically the secondary
- 8:04version of the Torid, except unlike the
- 8:07Torid, you generally want to keep it in
- 8:09incarn off mode rather than incarn mode.
- 8:12Once again, much like the Torid, it
- 8:13isn't a huge beneficiary of galvanized
- 8:15shot because it's going to generally
- 8:17only apply two status effects and its
- 8:19incarn mode doesn't benefit from
- 8:21galvanized shot at all. Since it's base
- 8:23heat damage and it has access to prime
- 8:25heat charge, it can be quite strong on a
- 8:27viral or corrosive and heat setup. You
- 8:29can also go ahead and run corrosive
- 8:31blast on it as well, like the Torid 2.
- 8:33This weapon basically shares the same
- 8:35positives and negatives as the Torid
- 8:37Incarnan. So, it's going to do good
- 8:39versus a big group of enemies, but it's
- 8:40going to do pretty bad on those single
- 8:42target like heavier enemies. Excellent
- 8:45with proper investment or Btier. The
- 8:47next tier is for weapons that are
- 8:49excellent with a proper amount of
- 8:50investment. And with that amount of
- 8:52investment, they can outshine weapons
- 8:54two tiers above them. The problem is
- 8:56that you generally need to dedicate a
- 8:58much greater portion of your load out to
- 9:00maximizing their potential than you
- 9:02would with the tiers above. If you don't
- 9:04do so, you're not going to get much more
- 9:05value out of them than the weapons a
- 9:07couple of tiers below them. As a general
- 9:08rule, the dread incarn acts like a
- 9:10plasmo bow that is a side grade to the
- 9:13natric. Most of the time, it can be
- 9:15modded in the exact same way, but there
- 9:17is one very specific way that we can use
- 9:19it to make it pump out big damage.
- 9:20However, this setup requires external
- 9:22priming, needs a source of external
- 9:24elemental damage such as nourish, venom
- 9:26dose, shock trooper, etc., and is most
- 9:28comfortable on a frame that can already
- 9:30source its own invisibility. These are a
- 9:32lot of conditions that need to be met,
- 9:33but when the stars align, paired with
- 9:35arcane krepuscular, this weapon can go
- 9:38ballistic. The Cibbrus is a gun that is
- 9:40starved for mod slots, but it can be
- 9:42still extremely powerful at room
- 9:44clearing. Blast status effects on the
- 9:45Cberus are forced, and there's no way to
- 9:48scale blast without elemental mods. So
- 9:50we instead run a corrusive cool setup
- 9:52and take advantage of primary frostbite
- 9:54for more multi-shot and crit damage. An
- 9:56epitap doing some viral priming for you
- 9:58can really help this weapon. However, if
- 10:00you really want it to shine, you need to
- 10:02run both arcane acceleration and arcane
- 10:04rage. You need rifle elementalist and
- 10:06you want to use roar as your helm
- 10:08ability. This is a problem because blast
- 10:11also really wants you to armor strip to
- 10:13do as much damage as possible. So
- 10:15ideally you want to use a frame that can
- 10:16do all of that and also subsume roar.
- 10:19The Magistar has a big slam. It's a big
- 10:22damage hammer. Basically, with the slam
- 10:25changes, you can get an absurd amount of
- 10:27range on your slam attack. However, to
- 10:29make this effective, you need to be
- 10:31running both of the Neuromods on your
- 10:32Warframe as well as Arcane Fury on the
- 10:35frame and maybe two or three purple crit
- 10:37damage. So, this is a very high
- 10:40investment build. It's not necessarily
- 10:42necessary, but to deal millions upon
- 10:46millions of damage, this is what you got
- 10:47to do. The heat is another weapon with
- 10:49serious mods slot issues. Burning heat
- 10:51is simply too good of an augment to not
- 10:53use since it's multiplicative to all
- 10:55other forms of damage. On influence
- 10:57builds, we need to ice source our attack
- 10:58speed and make sure that we have a
- 11:00source of heat priming to get as much
- 11:02value out of the his augment as
- 11:03possible. If you want the projectiles to
- 11:05do any meaningful amount of damage, you
- 11:06also need to run a universal base damage
- 11:08source like vigorous swap, arcane
- 11:10arachnne, or abilities like amp. This is
- 11:13because the explosions and direct hits
- 11:15don't benefit from mods like Prime
- 11:16Pressure Point or Arcane Fury. And the
- 11:18mini explosions, they don't benefit from
- 11:20condition overload. The Anodum is sort
- 11:22of a Nami solo at home weapon most of
- 11:24the time. It's a big stick dagger with a
- 11:26long range but a lot less than the Nami
- 11:28Solo. It has.9 followrough instead of
- 11:311.0, making it comparably worse.
- 11:33However, the Anodum does have a few
- 11:35tricks that the Nami Solo doesn't. First
- 11:37of all, it can shoot contagion-l like
- 11:39projectiles while you aim glide. Except
- 11:40unlike Exodia Contagion, you can shoot
- 11:42continuously as long as you're in the
- 11:44air. The second and much more important
- 11:46trick is its synergy with two weapons,
- 11:48the Sciotid and the Argonac. With its
- 11:51incarn, we get 4.8 m of range, which is
- 11:53comfy enough given that we're gripping
- 11:55with an ability or the Sciotid. Thanks
- 11:57to the Argonac and its Amalgam mod, all
- 11:59enemies that are gripped up will be
- 12:01stripped off their armor pretty much
- 12:02immediately as you strike them with the
- 12:04Anodum thanks to these overlapping gas
- 12:06clouds that we can throw onto the
- 12:07weapon. The Acres are a very strong but
- 12:09very annoying melee because we are
- 12:11forced to mod for external attack speed
- 12:13if running influence since there's no
- 12:15space for attack speed thanks to their
- 12:17innate toxin. Still, they're a very good
- 12:19weapon on the right Warframe. The ickers
- 12:21are outstanding on a frame like Sarin,
- 12:23who can use prime fever strike and toxic
- 12:25lash to scale the icer's puddles, making
- 12:27them extremely potent. Another option is
- 12:30to run exposure on them and build them
- 12:31like a normal melee with prime fever
- 12:33strike. Though this does make them lose
- 12:35a little bit of their AoE capability.
- 12:37Next up, we're moving into the C tier,
- 12:39and this category is called great, but
- 12:41with a specific and powerful niche. This
- 12:44doesn't mean that they are necessarily
- 12:45better than the weapons in the tier
- 12:47below, just that they open up some play
- 12:49styles that weapons in the tier below
- 12:51might not. They also might not require
- 12:52as much setup as weapons in the tier
- 12:54above them, which can make them
- 12:56outperform those if you aren't catering
- 12:58your entire load out towards those
- 12:59weapons. If the miter had 40 in its
- 13:02incarn rather than 20, this would
- 13:04probably be a meta defining weapon. As
- 13:07it stands, it's sort of just a worse. a
- 13:09worse later that still hits 100% crit
- 13:12and status very easily and it's still
- 13:13one of the best guns in the game. We are
- 13:15talking about incarnum weapons after
- 13:17all. So what is its niche? If you're
- 13:19doing a Fisher and you're running a
- 13:20frame heavily reliant on ability upkeep,
- 13:23the MITER serves one outstanding
- 13:25purpose. Completely destroying nullifier
- 13:27bubbles with no fuss, neutralizing
- 13:30justice on frames with micromanagy kits
- 13:32like Zaku, Guyire, and Site, and so on.
- 13:35This can be a godsend. So, if you have a
- 13:37free primary slot and you don't want to
- 13:39deal with getting your entire kit shut
- 13:40down because of one persistent
- 13:42nullifier, the miter is a great way to
- 13:43do that. The Paris is basically your
- 13:45standard plasmo bow, similar to a
- 13:47normally built dread, natric, or cinta
- 13:49and will perform similarly to them at a
- 13:51similar point of investment. However,
- 13:53the pars also has a niche that the
- 13:55others don't, its incredible synergy
- 13:56with the mecha set. Mecca overdrive
- 13:58gives your companion 60% of your primary
- 14:00weapon status chance. And the elemental
- 14:02balance evolution gives the Paris an
- 14:04astonishing 80% be a status chance. Once
- 14:07you load it up with as many status
- 14:08chance mods as possible. It even has an
- 14:11exos mod called bisbal
- 14:14which gives it extra status chance and
- 14:16hunter track. You'll have turned your
- 14:17pet into a walk-in uke. The sicus prime
- 14:20is basically a slightly worse dual
- 14:22toxicus most of the time just because it
- 14:23doesn't have great incarn efficiency.
- 14:25However, its primary fire rate is
- 14:27substantially better than the Toxysus,
- 14:29which gives it a big niche in the
- 14:30current meta because it's the go-to
- 14:32profit ticker pistol thanks to its high
- 14:34crit base damage and fire rate. While
- 14:35the Kunai are perfectly respectable
- 14:37weapons on their own merits, they have a
- 14:39very powerful niche of guaranteeing a
- 14:41Zata bubble on the head of a target that
- 14:44you're shooting at. This is because
- 14:45Kunai and Caron shots will always seek
- 14:47the head of the target that you're
- 14:48shooting. The Bronco is a weird weapon
- 14:50and there's two ways to run it. The
- 14:52first is a way to stack melee crescendo.
- 14:54Dizzy rounds opens enemies up to
- 14:56finishers, so you can use that to really
- 14:58easily stack your crescendo to maximum
- 15:00with no fuss. You can then take
- 15:01advantage of your mele's permanent 12x
- 15:03combo with secondary outburst to have a
- 15:05pretty strong pocket delete button. The
- 15:07other way that we can run the Bronco is
- 15:08as a primer. Because of its enormous
- 15:10multi-shot and sky-high status chance
- 15:12per projectile, when pairing the Bronco
- 15:14with punchrew, it becomes a reasonably
- 15:17strong AoE primer that also opens up
- 15:19enemies to finishers with a Warframe
- 15:21like Araxia, Ash, and so on. Build the
- 15:23Furax reef as a normal influence melee,
- 15:25but use amalgam furax body count to add
- 15:27fire rate to your secondary weapon. And
- 15:29that's basically all there is to say
- 15:31about the Furax rife. The ceramic dagger
- 15:33is a weapon that's a buggy mess. It's
- 15:36terrible on star chart because you need
- 15:37to stack gun and blade, which means it's
- 15:39pretty much limited to endurance. So,
- 15:41I'm about to say a bunch of words
- 15:43relating to how the ceramic dagger
- 15:45outputs damage, and a lot of it might
- 15:47not make sense, but just try to follow
- 15:48along. Prime pressure point doesn't
- 15:50affect the throne spectral dagger
- 15:52damage, but condition overload is
- 15:53multiplicative to base damage sources
- 15:56like vigorous swap, arenachy, amp, and
- 15:59so on. However, condition overload also
- 16:01fully ignores the damage from gun and
- 16:03blade and is additive on base melee
- 16:05hits. The weapon has problems. Still, it
- 16:08can be very effective when set up just
- 16:10right. The daggers can headshot and pair
- 16:12extremely well with Zad's whisper, and
- 16:14the crit damage value that we get from
- 16:16Dodie can spike to truly incredible
- 16:18heights when considering the crit tiers
- 16:20that we're going to be hitting with it.
- 16:21It can also permanently sit at 12x combo
- 16:23quite comfortably, making it a great
- 16:25pairing for weapons that use secondary
- 16:27outpost. The Ruox is a surprisingly
- 16:30excellent weapon because of its ability
- 16:31to spread electricity free impalment and
- 16:34to make enemies more vulnerable to
- 16:35status damage. Impaled enemies basically
- 16:37function as totem pools that spread
- 16:39electricity to every enemy that enters
- 16:41the radius. Slams don't benefit from
- 16:43condition overload scaling, so use prime
- 16:45pressure point instead of condition
- 16:46overload. The only reason that we are
- 16:48ever normally punching is to build the
- 16:50tenno to spam slam. The Prisma Scana is
- 16:53a serviceable influence weapon, but it
- 16:56doesn't really have anything about it
- 16:57that makes it compelling to pick over
- 17:00like literally anything else, but it
- 17:02does have its use when you're farming
- 17:04Endo on Voyenoi as Kora for just slicing
- 17:07up all of the enemies. This weapon could
- 17:09be in the tier below. It could go into
- 17:10great but with better alternatives, but
- 17:12because it's got that use in Voyenoi,
- 17:14that's why it's here. Great but with
- 17:15better alternatives, aka Dtier. These
- 17:18weapons are all genuinely really good,
- 17:20and just because they're here, it
- 17:22doesn't mean that they're bad. It just
- 17:24means that they're pretty much
- 17:25outclassed by everything else, but with
- 17:27a nice enough investment, they're still
- 17:29going to perform in pretty much all the
- 17:31content in the game. These weapons don't
- 17:33have a niche, nothing that really makes
- 17:35them stand out. They are incarn weapons
- 17:38at the end of the day, so they are still
- 17:39going to be pretty good. To help save
- 17:41you some time, I'm going to start with
- 17:42some of the unique weapons and then grip
- 17:44the ones that play a similar role. The
- 17:46AK and Brunt is a weird fusion of the
- 17:48Hate and the Anodum, but doesn't really
- 17:50do what either of those weapons do as
- 17:52well as they do them. It can chuck
- 17:54heatbased projectiles while aimging like
- 17:56the Anodum, which is nice, but the Hate
- 17:58only needs to use normal combos to throw
- 17:59out projectiles, and the Inodum can
- 18:01synergize with the Argonac for armor
- 18:03stripping. The Bore is a truly fantastic
- 18:05weapon. However, as a shotgun, it isn't
- 18:07necessarily as strong as the Strun or
- 18:09the Felarks. It gets outclassed by the
- 18:12Strun and the Felarchs in the normal
- 18:13shotgun mode. And then in the incarn
- 18:16mode, the board turns into a beam, and
- 18:18that's where the Tora just outclasses
- 18:19it. Much like the Aken Brunt, it suffers
- 18:21from being a little bit too versatile
- 18:23for its own good. It's good in both
- 18:25categories, being a shotgun or a beam
- 18:27weapon, but it's not the best. Next up,
- 18:29we've got the Desparing Caron, and we
- 18:31can closely compare this to, let's say,
- 18:33the Atomos in its incarn form. The
- 18:35Atomos is just straight up a better
- 18:38weapon. That's just it. Like, it's just
- 18:40better than the Despair. The spare is
- 18:42cool, so if you want to use it, go ahead
- 18:44and use it. But Atomos basically does
- 18:46the exact same thing, just a lot better.
- 18:48Next up, we're going to be talking about
- 18:49the Lex Prime. And with the fall of the
- 18:51slash meta, the Lex has suffered a great
- 18:54deal because it can't use hemorrhage as
- 18:56effectively as it once did. Outburst
- 18:59helps it a lot, but not having multi gun
- 19:01condition overload like most plasmmor
- 19:03means that it falls off heavily in an
- 19:05endurance mission. The Prisma Angstrom
- 19:07is fantastic. It just simply isn't as
- 19:10good as something like the dual toxic
- 19:11assist or the cicerus because it doesn't
- 19:14have something like tracking
- 19:15projectiles. The dera boltor braten
- 19:18fenmore all fantastic weapons. However,
- 19:20they're competing with the burst and
- 19:21primary. The bow prime and the fallus.
- 19:24These are the big sticks and they would
- 19:26be good if they didn't have terrible
- 19:28followthrough. Thanks to this, you're
- 19:30better off always running something like
- 19:32the Nami Solo. That being said, the bow
- 19:34prime does have a really high status
- 19:36chance. So if you could get yourself a
- 19:38negative impact ribbon, it could be
- 19:40three times higher and you have an
- 19:42insane influence stick. The Velarchs,
- 19:44Fasto, and Leato, they can be built to
- 19:46be incredible. The leap buttons, but
- 19:48none are as good as, let's say, the
- 19:50Furus, for example. The Felarchs and
- 19:52Carnon mode is pretty bad. You're better
- 19:54off just keeping it in its shotgun form.
- 19:56The Vasto is fantastic, but the small
- 19:58magazine size hurts it a lot. And the
- 20:00Lato has pretty much all the same issues
- 20:02as the Boore. is trying to be both the
- 20:04dual Toxicist and the Furious at the
- 20:06same time and it just doesn't work out.
- 20:07Next up, we're moving into the F tier.
- 20:10And this tier we've titled if you enjoy
- 20:12them, go for it. In this tier, these
- 20:14weapons are pretty much only outclassed
- 20:17by all of the other incarnum weapons,
- 20:19which again doesn't mean that they're
- 20:21bad. They're still really good. They are
- 20:23incarn weapons, but they are some of the
- 20:25worst incarn weapons. So, first we're
- 20:27going to talk about the Anku, which is
- 20:29actually quite good with melee do.
- 20:31However, it's outclassed by afflictions
- 20:33heat for non-influence hacken slash and
- 20:35the harmony for heavy attack spam.
- 20:38Still, it can be quite a fun weapon.
- 20:39This is a really sad one. The Sumo
- 20:41Prime. Sadly, it just isn't it. The
- 20:44incarn form is actually worse than the
- 20:47incarnoff form, and the incarnoff form
- 20:49isn't good enough to compete with
- 20:51something like the burst in primeon. The
- 20:53gamma core is simply just a worse
- 20:56atomos. Its gripping capabilities are
- 20:58just straight up worse than that of the
- 21:00sciatid. So, it's not really worth
- 21:02using. And the Xylock is another one of
- 21:03those weapons that is uh pretty buggy.
- 21:06It's got awful stats. It feels pretty
- 21:08bad to use and it's not really a good
- 21:10AoE secondary. Like if you want to use
- 21:12it, you can, but you could use then of
- 21:14course the Atomos with its incarn form
- 21:16instead. The Cestra is actually a pretty
- 21:18good weapon. It just suffers from an
- 21:20identity crisis. Its base form has no
- 21:22crit chance to speak of and its incarn
- 21:24form has 50% base crit. This means that
- 21:27its final evolution has you in a little
- 21:28bit of a pickle. Fixing the base form's
- 21:30crit chance doesn't really benefit the
- 21:32incarn mode, and using secondary enervy
- 21:34alongside the crit damage multiplier is
- 21:36great for the base form, but that
- 21:38doesn't really help the incarn form
- 21:39since that can crit consistently anyway
- 21:42and doesn't need enervy. Still, on a
- 21:44frame like a shield tank goss or a
- 21:46standard haro, it can still do really
- 21:48well thanks to its sky-high crit
- 21:49multiplier. However, its VS damage is so
- 21:52low that even if it does have an
- 21:54excellent crit multiplier, it doesn't
- 21:55have a ricochet effect or anything like
- 21:57that. And the damage just isn't high
- 21:59enough to compete with something like
- 22:00the Leam. The Onos needs to be modded
- 22:02for so much fire rate to be usable. It
- 22:04does have one niche which it ignores
- 22:06necro damage attenuation and sanctum
- 22:08disruption, but even still, a gun like
- 22:10the Leam might not ignore that damage
- 22:12attenuation, but it just does so much
- 22:13more damage that it's not even funny.
- 22:15The Cbeer is an abomination of a weapon.
- 22:18It's supposed to be a slam melee, but
- 22:20it's a terrible slam melee, and it can't
- 22:22really be an influence melee because it
- 22:24has innate cold, which greatly reduces
- 22:27the mod space that you've got. Its
- 22:29crafting costs are insane, and it's
- 22:31outclassed by pretty much everything in
- 22:33the game. I think I kind of lied a bit.
- 22:35I think the Cyber Bear is probably like
- 22:37just a bad incarn weapon now that I
- 22:39think about it. The Gorgon is basically
- 22:41a less flexible Stelta since it can only
- 22:44fire off projectiles like the Stelta's
- 22:46alt fire while in incarn mode. It's got
- 22:48the same problem as the Suma where using
- 22:50it as a normal assault rifle is better,
- 22:52but it just lacks the base damage to
- 22:54compete with something like the Bratton
- 22:55or the Buren. And that's my Incarnan
- 22:58weapon tier list. Anyways guys, that's
