You can forget about single-target guns in Warframe because once you reach its endgame, that won’t matter much. At least, right now, it won’t, especially with beasts like the Latron Incarnon Genesis on the prowl. This weapon, which was on The Circuit rotation rewards recently, is the best room-clearing tool you could ever wish for. For that to happen, though, you’ll want a Latron Incarnon build guide for Warframe.
Warframe Latron Incarnon Build Mods, Arcanes, & Forma
You have three choices on which Latron to turn into Latron Incarnon Genesis: regular Latron, Latron Wraith, and Latron Prime. Latron Prime is the best out of all those, but if the Wraith is the only one you have, then go for it.
We don’t recommend the regular Latron, given how easy it is to acquire the Latron Wraith. If you do have both Latron Wraith and Latron Prime, the choice might default to the latter.
As for the build itself, you’ll need around 3-4 Forma for it, and the mods themselves aren’t expensive. That’s just how powerful the Latron Incarnon is.
Mod | Effect | Alternative(s) |
Agile Aim | +20% Movement Speed when Aiming | Stabilizer or Terminal Velocity, both for utility. |
Galvanized Chamber | +80% Multishot | On Kill: +30% Multishot for 20s. Stacks up to 5x. | Split Chamber, but it will be weaker. |
Galvanized Scope | On Headshot: +120% Critical Chance when Aiming for 12s | On Headshot Kill: +40% Critical Chance when Aiming for 12s. Stacks up to 5x. | Double Tap, if you find the constant aiming too difficult and tedious to maintain. However, you’ll lose the red crits. |
Critical Delay | +200% Critical Chance | -20% Fire Rate (x2 for Bows) General Information | None. You want this for red crits. |
Vital Sense | +120% Critical Damage | None. It’s a crit weapon, so this is mandatory. |
Argon Scope | On Headshot: +135% Critical Chance when Aiming for 9s | Finally, a good use for this mod. Since you’re getting headshots regularly, you’ll see it proc almost always. Otherwise, you can replace it with Serration. |
Hammer Shot | +60% Fire Rate | +60% Multishot | Bladed Rounds, if you want more damage, but you’ll have to get used to aiming all the time. |
Malignant Force | +60% Toxin | +60% Status Chance | Pathogen Rounds, but you might need more Forma. |
Rime Rounds | +60% Cold | +60% Status Chance | Deep Freeze, but you might need more Forma. |
You can replace Agile Aim with either Stabilier or Terminal Velocity if you’re not going to use Galvanized Scope. However, we still recommend Galvanized Scope, as dealing red crits in an AoE is hard to beat.
In that case, you also might as well go for Bladed Rounds since you’re going to be aiming a lot, though Hammer Shot is still fine as it is.
Additionally, the Fire Rate you lose from Critical Delay is easily offset by the red crits so don’t worry too much about it. The Latron Incarnon Genesis is an AoE weapon and not too reliant on Fire Rate.
Arcanes for the Latron Incarnon Build
You get two notable options here, depending on which you’re comfortable with. The two playstyles we detailed in the build above consist of constantly aiming (and dealing higher damage) or not.
The aiming playstyle takes more skill. So feel free to change up the Arcanes depending on your preferred playstyle.
- Primary Deadhead – On Precision Headshot Kill/Passive +120% Damage for 24s. Stacks up to 3x. +30% to Headshot Multiplier. -50% Weapon Recoil.
- It’s more comfortable to maintain once you have three stacks (which is easy since you’re constantly aiming for headshots). Also, the weapon recoil reduction helps a lot.
- Primary Merciless – On Kill/Passive +30% Damage for 4s. Stacks up to 12x. +30% Reload Speed.
- This is easier to maintain, but the damage buff stacks decay faster. Still, the reload speed is nifty for when you’re out of Incarnon mode.
Both Arcanes offer the same number of damage buff at +360% but we’re leaning towards Primary Deadhead here, even if you’re not using Galvanized Scope. You’ll be forced to score headshots to get into Incarnon mode anyway.
You can obtain both from Steel Path Acolytes, provided you kill them before they kill you.
Warframe Latron Incarnon Build Playstyle
This is a red crit build, and the beauty in the Latron Icarnon build is that you don’t have to be precise once it hits its Incarnon mode. The Latron Incarnon Genesis will fire energy orbs that will bounce off walls and obliterate targets in its immediate vicinity.
It works best in corridors or rooms in Warframe. You can still get mileage out of it in open areas, though it might be harder to control the AoE without walls.
The sequence is simple enough:
- Start in regular form and get headshots from enemies. Aim down to trigger the crit buffs.
- Transform the weapon into Incarnon mode and keep aiming while firing.
- Try to ensure that the projectiles go near enemy heads (or weak spots) to maintain Galvanized Scope’s buffs.
- Repeat step 1 again once the Incarnon charges run out.
The Multishot and recoil reduction should help you achieve Incarnon mode after just a few well-placed rounds. There’s no endgame mob that can withstand the Warframe Latron Incarnon; the only challenge left is trying not to squeal like an enraptured piglet whenever you see blobs of red crits.
