All Incarnon Genesis Weapons and What They Do

What the Incarnon Forms do on each weapon in Evolution I.

Introduction

All Incarnon Genesis weapons in their "Evolution I" can transmute (called "Incarnon Form"), each Form is different for each weapon, but unfortunately the game doesn't tell us what happens.

This guide is intended to tell you what each Form does, in one place, without you having to watch a video for it or look up each one on the wiki.

In this guide I don't intend to talk about the other evolutions, as they are perfectly displayed in the game and also to not make the guide too big.

There are currently some bugs causing some things written in this guide to not work, I haven't mentioned which ones have bugs as I imagine they will be fixed soon.

General Info

Primary/Secondary

• Mode switching is NOT instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
  
• Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. The amount of Headshots required to fill the gauge varies by weapon. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
  
  • Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either Sonar or Detect Vulnerability in places other than heads will have no effect either.
    
  • Headshots on corpses do not build charges.
    
  • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
    
• Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
  
• Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as Energized Munitions).
  
• Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.

Melee

• Incarnon Form is activated by reaching 6x Combo and then Heavy Attack.

Week 1 (A) [Braton/Lato/Skana/Paris/Kunai]

Braton Incarnon Genesis (Braton/MK1/Prime/Vandal)

• Incarnon Form quadruples the weapon's damage and now inflicts a 3 meter area of effect that deals pure Heat damage, with much higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance. However its Puncture damage is reduced in favor of Impact, the Fire Rate is reduced, and the explosion possesses Damage Falloff from 100% to 90% from central impact.
  
  
• Braton's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 10 rounds to a maximum of 200. Once all ammunition is expended, the Braton reverts to its normal form.

Lato Incarnon Genesis (Lato/Prime/Vandal)

• Incarnon Form triples the weapon's damage has much higher Critical Chance and Critical Multiplier, has gained 2 Multishot and 0.8 meter Punch Through, and shots now ricochet to ? nearby enemies within ? meters of the main target. However it has noticeably higher Recoil and lower Fire Rate.
  
  
• Lato's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 4 rounds to a maximum of 24. Once all ammunition is expended, the Lato reverts to its normal form.

However, it no longer deals Puncture or Slash damage, has a headshot multiplier of 1x, and has slightly slower charge time.
  
  
• Paris's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing ? rounds to a maximum of 20. Once all ammunition is expended, the Paris reverts to its normal form.

Kunai Incarnon Genesis (Kunai/MK1)

• Incarnon Form grants its projectiles head-homing properties, with increased base damage weighted towards Slash, Critical Chance, and Critical Multiplier, and 2 base Multishot.
  
  • Punch Through will not cause projectiles to home in on additional targets.
    
  • Concealed Explosives is disabled in Incarnon Form.

• Incarnon Form lasts for 180 seconds.

Latron Incarnon Genesis (Latron/Prime/Wraith)

• Incarnon Form changes the weapon's fire mode from hitscan to a traveling projectile that can ricochet off enemies and terrain, exploding up to 6? times with a 4 meter radius, dealing damage once for any collision on enemies, and again for the explosion.
  
  • Collision deals Impact damage.
    
  • Explosion deals Puncture and Heat damage.
    
  • Each ricochet will cause the projectile to slow down.
    
  • Bullet attraction bubbles such as Magnetize or Void status will cause the projectile to orbit within until exploding at the end of its life, and seem to require multiple enemies to ricochet repeatedly.
    
  • Explosion can benefit from Firestorm.
    
• Incarnon Form has no Recoil, higher total damage, Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance. However its Slash damage is removed, the Fire Rate is reduced, and the explosion possesses Damage Falloff from 100% to 80% from central impact.
  
• Double Tap does not work with Incarnon Form, gaining no stacks and providing no damage increase.
  
  • Swapping to Incarnon Form while Double Tap is active will cause the buff timer to halt, resuming upon switching back.
    
  
  
• Latron's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 5 rounds to a maximum of 40.

Furis Incarnon Genesis (Furis/MK1)

  • The heavy slam attack gives a hidden 90% Heavy Attack Efficiency benefit during and shortly after the slam, allowing one or more heavy attacks to be made at 90% efficiency, depending on attack speed. This can be used to activate Incarnon Form without losing all combo points, as well as enabling frequent use of heavy slams and heavy attacks without specifically requiring a heavy attack efficiency setup.
    

Strun Incarnon Genesis (Strun/MK1/Prime/Wraith)

• Incarnon Form now inflicts a 4 meter area of effect that deals primarily Blast damage, with much higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance.

    • All lifesteal on the weapon heals allies.
      
    • Lifesteal is counted on the final damage inflicted upon a target, and is therefor reduced by enemy damage reduction, armor and resistances.

Boltor Incarnon Genesis (Boltor/Prime/Telos)
