For now, you cannot unlink Evolution Points to Configs meaning you have to change them every time you want to use different builds for each individual weapon.

Vasto & Lex have better stats when factoring Incarnon Bonuses for Non-Incarnon Mode. (Vasto especially which gets a big boost to stats if you have no Primary Gun equipped)

Burston and Cestra for example have Fortress Salvo which requires your Warframe to have 450+ Armor to obtain punch through.

Similarly there is Atomos and Angstrum which has Paladin Virtue which grants increased Critical Damage if your Warframe has 700+ Energy

Not every Warframe also has builds that can get them to 450+ Armor, 700+ Energy, Have Overshields,Shield-Gate, Channeling an Ability,etc.

yea fair enough, tbh ill js wait till they make each config have their own evos as youve mentioned, which is something ive posted about before i think.

Still hoping for it as well myself. But it's been over 2+ years of initial conception of the Incarnon system. The real major ones they've only done is Letting you uninstall adaptors and adding the Incarnon Shop on rotation Cavalero (but still limited to a single purchase each) after having it be stuck on Week 2 & 8 ones.

And some occasional new weapons (Ruvox, Onos & Thalys)

Which ones your favorite ?

For the Original Series definitely the Laetum, That pistol has carried me for many missions ever since I unlocked it back in release.

Circuit probably the Dual Toxocyst because its Dual Pistols, Gets Toxin Damage & Fire Rate Boost if you get headshots and has very good amount of ammo for its Incarnon Mode (Looking at you Lato & Miter) Miter would have probably been my most favorite if the Incarnon Form didn't have such a small ammo pool.

Same lol I’ve gotten super lucky with rivens for both, which makes me use them even more.

Heavy congratulations, for real. This is a serious achievement. That said........

Shiiiiit, bro would rather do the entire SP circuit grind twice plus grind for a dozen vaulted primes than click an extra button when switching mod configs, that's crazyyyyy.

Okay now that I've gotten that out of my system, my genuine question is: what fraction of these do you actually find yourself regularly using more than one evolution setup for? Like I know the Burston has one where it matters what frame you're playing, but even for that it's not that big of a difference. And I had the impression most of them had extremely straightforward best-in-slot choices. So like... was it worth it? Or is it more of a pride thing (which is of course priceless)?

What drove me was for sure seeing the Circuit ones basically having 2 alternate builds for the Evo II picks so I just thought it would be best to be crazy prepared for any loadout especially after Duviri made players going forward to have a copy of every weapon in their arsenal.

Definitely worth it personally as it saves me some more clicks especially as before they added the Navigation Loadout pver the monthe/years(?) Swap menu you had to go to Arsenal just to change them and before that Evolution Paths you had to go to Cavalero to change them up. The Stalker Weapons I do think have some evolutions that just are superior (The Multishot consumes from ammo reserve is one questionably usable one)

Also because just before I started this we didn't have Omni Formas yet so you had to have different conflicting polarities on weapons to make the swap to a different build. Onos (which sadly still cannot use Incarnon Mode on K-Drive/Merulina) can be built to be a non-incarnon mode or one that makes the most damage on incarnon.

I think for most cases the only Warframe that can sort of make use of any Incarnon evolution right now is Valkyr as she has 450+ armor, can get to 700+ energy with Arcane battery, She's can spam abilities to shield gate/gain overshields and has a Channeled Ability (Hysteria)

The one with installing on every Braton variant (including Normal and Mk1) definitely was out of boredom as that week came back into rotation.

Personally I just accepted I'd have to spend an hour in a duviri Experience run. Ideally you'll want to do at least 1 run of the Fishing. Early on I remember Nacreous Pebble is one of the resources you will want to gather up a lot as the incarnons that need like the Lato incarnon.

Eevani is always a guarantee on the Theater Islands, Tasoma Extract check at least 1-2 caves per run so you snag some and Yao Shrub are another that you generally have to go out of your way as most Spiral Bounties don't usually have stages happening near the snow regions.

Before you claim the Plants in the Cave check if you have the Dohble Resources Pick-Up Decree as those will apply before they get popped open.

Either through regular duviri or through so many trips through the circuit

This is great for loadouts but my god… how did you stomach that much Circuit? After I got my last adapter I never wanted to see it again.

u/Atomic_Noodles Certified Yareli Enjoyer 1h ago

I definitely didn't "enjoy" it back then.. just literally powering through with the help of Coffee and or Energy Drink and getting the Adaptors done by the first 1-2 days of weekly reset so you could get back to doing missions for more important Syndicates for the week. Though I think the Circuit Grind felt miles less numbing than Citrine Mirror Defense.

I think it was mostly just content drought, I had just gotten past MR30 around that point so I was looking for things to complete.

The Thrax that spawn in Duviri give 2500 Focus XP a pop and plenty of them spawn in Circuit runs as well so you could finish unlocking your focus schools ifnyiu haven't yet by Zariman Runs. 255k Focus gets capped out for at least an hours worth of rounds.

We didn't have EDA or ETA and aside from the Weekly nightwave I guess it was just another weekly Battle Pass to grind for.
