The latest power creep craze in Warframe right now is Incarnon weapons and they went from just five to 40 in a span of a year or so. The amount of grind has exponentially increased if you want all of them. But you don’t exactly need all of them, and some are more powerful than others when it comes to clearing Steel Path content or something more difficult. Hence, here’s a Warframe Incarnon tier list so you know which ones to prioritize in your grind.

Incarnon Tier List Explained
As usual, here’s our verdict and our ranking system for the Incarnon weapons in Warframe. This is based on as much objectivity as possible with our metrics for testing being Steel Path content, Archon Hunts, Netracell runs, and even some level cap content.
S-Tier (The Best Incarnon Weapons)
This is where the overpowered bunch is dumped. To be blunt, some of them break or trivialize the whole game. The Torid is quite notorious since you can charge up its Incarnon form in just two shots and you don’t even have to aim for the head. After that, it becomes a beam weapon of mass destruction with red crits to boot.
Latron is a certified room clearer and armor stripper, something you will want to take to level cap. Meanwhile, Phenmor and Laetum are at the top spots for automatic and conventional guns.
Then there’s Lex Incarnon which is Tenet Arca Plasmor on steroids (once you manage to charge it). Angstrum is in the same boat as Torid when it comes to charing the Incarnon form and Strun is the best Incarnon shotgun. Lastly, Ceramic Dagger just beats out any melee competitor.
A-Tier
These weapons are not quite game-breaking but they’re powerful enough to make the game easier. Boltor, for example, has tremendously high single-shot damage (and it’s an automatic weapon), perfect for taking out Disruption Demolishers.
Miter is a good alternative to Latron though it’s more janky to use. Felarx is still ideal for killing Archons with ease though it has limited uses elsewhere. You’ll also be pleased to know that Hate is good and you should make good use of that scythe pile.
B-Tier
Good weapons overall, well above average. Some of them, however, don’t improve much on the fire mode or playstyle of their default base weapons.
Still, you can rest assured that these will carry you well in Steel Path until you get past level 200+ enemies. You will need to build them more expensively compared to others to let them perform as commendably.
C-Tier
You can consider these weapons in our Warframe Incarnon tier list as the average among the bunch. They’re nothing special, in our opinion, and in some cases, they might even be only slightly better or on the same level as the top-tier Kuva or Tenet weapons.
Don’t expect to be amazed too much by their performance and you can freely skip them in the weekly Incarnon Genesis rotation to give priority or space to more powerful weapons.
D-Tier (The Worst Incarnon Weapons)
You can skip these and not miss much if we’re being practical here. The Soma Incarnon, for example, is underwhelming since there’s already a Boltor and Phenmor overperforming in the same category.
Unless you have Riven mods for them, you should probably just save yourself the grind for this segment in our Warframe Incarnon tier list and focus on higher tiers. But hey, if you like their appearance enough, don’t let us stop you from committing to the Fashion Frame endgame.
