I have been thoroughly enjoying all of the Incarnon weapons from the original 5 to all the adaptors for those who have unlocked Steel Path.
Personally, I am so happy that Lex is good now since it’s one of my personal favorites along with the Boltor and Strun, just because I finally have a decent riven.
Laetum is probably my favorite or second favorite secondaries, very funny with the Glock skin too
Most favorite is the Lex Prime. Other favorite [not in any order] are Latron Prime, Laetum, and Innodem.
The Innodem Incarnon just synergizes perfectly with the specialized Ash Prime build that I have so I just love it. Probably my favorite dagger.
Fellow Lex enjoyer, it just feels nice to use.
I have sorta neglected melee Incarnons, any personal recommendations on the upgrade path for Innodem?
I’m not a fan of most of the melee Incarnons except for Innodem.
My upgrade path:
[1] Unlock it.
[2] Bladed Harmony (increase attack speed)
[3] Blade twister (+60% finisher damage)
[4] Protected Leap (+20 combo on finisher)
[5] Stunning Brutality (stuns enemies within 10m radius)
This works perfectly for my Ash build since I’m using [Fatal Teleport] on his 3. Also I use 5 Tau Forged Archon shards to regen health, so Innodem Incarnon form’s trait of adding 10% damage reduction per finisher [up to 4 stacks] works perfectly to give him toughness.
I’m also using [Arcane Ultimatum] on him to get +1200 Armor for 45 secs along with [Arcane Reaper] which gives me +24 health regen and +660 armor for 10 secs whenever I do melee kills, which count the finisher kills from [Fatal Teleport].
Also, him doing finishers helps add 20 combo each time, so with 3 Fatal Teleports I can activate the Incarnon form of Innodem.
So Innodem is pretty much the perfect melee weapon for my Ash Prime build and gameplay. Even added Kulervo’s 1 to Ash’s 1 for extra teleportation madness.
Sorry for the long reply lol.
Oh no problem, I appreciate any Warframe related rants, especially one I asked for. That is close to what I have so far, I think I have something different for the 3rd upgrade.
I do appreciate you going through that for me, your Ash sounds incredibly tanky
No problem. I made him really tanky and very mobile. Love this kind of gameplay.
Part of the reason I love Gauss, even before mods his 2 is unreasonably tanky and he’s so fast
Gauss is my 2nd most favorite frame because of that as well!
Its 5th evo “Armed Inspiration” grants 5 combo counter when picking up ammo. This makes it a good budget QoL statstick for exalted/pseudo exalted frames that want 12x combo and can’t get it with their abilities (i.e., Melee Guidance Baruuk/Excalibur, Gara). You attack with the dagger to build 12x combo and then (with Body Count installed) fire at least once every 17 seconds instead of deactivating Baruuk/Excalibur 4.
1st evo “Striking Swiftness” is generically useful if you don’t play Ash or use Innodem as a real melee. Praedos and Ceramic Dagger Incarnon also help maintain combo and have more generically useful evos, they’re just harder to acquire.
