Warframe: The 5 Best Incarnon Weapons, Ranked

#5 Incarnon Torid

#4 Incarnon Dual Toxocyst

Another infested weapon making the list, the Dual Toxocyst are secondary pistols that boast high Puncture damage and get increased Fire Rate, reduced Recoil, and infinite ammo when achieving headshots. 

After evolving with the Incarnon Genesis, this weapon turns into an auto-fire monster with Ricochet. It also gets higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, and Fire Rate.

#3 Incarnon Latron

Next on the list is the Latron, a high accuracy, high damage rifle that can devastate enemies at long range. Once hit with the Incarnon Genesis, this weapon fires exploding Heat projectiles that bounce around the map, exploding up to 6 times before dissipating. 

The Incarnon Latron also receives significantly higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance, and no Recoil. The only negative is the slight drop in Fire Rate and removal of Slash damage.

  • Transmutes the Latron to fire Heat Damage energy waves that bounce off enemies and terrain

  • Riddled Target
    • Increase Damage by +48

#2 Phenmor

The first unique Incarnon weapon to make the list, the Phenmor is a semi-automatic rifle that evolves into an Arch-gun. Many people say this is a direct upgrade to the Soma with good reason. It has only a slightly lower Critical Chance and Critical Multiplier than the Soma Prime but with a higher Status Chance and way higher damage.

#1 Laetum

The last Incarnon weapon on this list and coming in at number one is the Laetum. It is certainly one of the most powerful weapons right now. A ceremonial pistol touched by the Void that can evolve into a full-auto rifle that fires exploding shots.

Acquisition
