As of this posting, week 4 is about to end, and I hope everyone got their Ceramic Dagger incarnon ;) Let’s look ahead to next week!
Fine people of Dormizone, I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on the coming incarnons! Unlike other weeks with clear winners and underappreciated hidden gems, week 5 is basically all killer, no filler.
Week 5’s offerings:
- Torid
- Dual Toxocyst
- Dual Ichors
- Miter
- Atomos
Some thoughts on the offerings:
- Torid: it’s strong. Toxin Amprex, but to play it optimally you have to play Toxic by Britney Spears.
- Dual Toxies: have the strongest toxin proc in the game thanks to the Frenzy passive. Very comfy to use too due to the gargantuan incarnon battery.
- Dual Ichor: run these on a Quiver Xaku or Xata stealth frame, just trust me. Saryn in shambles. The death clouds will chase enemies back to their spawns. Limbo can heavily abuse viral or gas/electric Influence builds to assault enemies outside the rift. Non-Influence builds can enjoy combo self-charging and extremely fast combo racking. Afflictions is kind of nasty on these too.
- Miter: the big bad bubble popper, and the Justice proc from the augment is nice. Like all incarnons with a split physical-heat projectile, can run cold/blast for a mix of crowd clear and utility. There’s a bug with the multishot evolution, but I don’t understand if it makes the gun better or worse; someone else please comment!
- Atomos: it’s the Atomos! The radial effect on the evolution is pretty massive, and the damage output is great. I have a Fortifier and an Outburst build and they both slap. Can actually achieve guaranteed blast procs, which is kind of incredible given the amount of damage this bad boy pumps out and the radius over which it does so. Try it on Biting Frost/Arcane Avenger Frost ;) Blast Atomos also works great on Xata frames. It’s basically glued to my Ivara loadout, don’t think any other pistol compares.
Out of all of these, Atomos is the one I use the most regularly. Stealth Xata on the Ichors is something you need to experience at least once, but it does admittedly get pretty boring… eventually. I got several hours of laugh out loud entertainment from it though. I believe overall Torid and Dual Ichor are the community darlings this week.
If anyone wants builds for any of these, please do let me know!
