Since the Duviri Paradox update, Warframe Incarnon rotation is the most important weekly reset that late-game players look forward to. This rotation holds the key to potentially obtaining meta-defining Incarnon Genesis weapons, largely recognized as the best tier of weapons in the game currently. Read along to find out which Adapters you can get from the Warframe Incarnon rotation this week, and which ones are considered the best.

Expanding over the concept of original void-infested armaments introduced in Angels of the Zariman, Incarnon Genesis confers stat boosts and bespoke talent trees to older weapons - resulting in some of the most powerful weapons in the entire game.

The current Warframe Incarnon rotation is Week 6 (F rotation), containing Incarnon Genesis Adapters for:

  • Incarnon Ack & Brunt
  • Incarnon Soma
  • Incarnon Vasto
  • Incarnon Nami Solo
  • Incarnon Burston

In Warframe, Incarnon rotation decides which Incarnon Genesis adapters you can get until the next weekly reset. There are currently 35 Incarnon Genesis weapons, and only 5 are available each week.

You can only pick two out of these five Incarnon Genesis Adapters by:

  • Going to the Duviri Menu
  • Toggling on Steel Path mode from the right-hand side panel
  • Selecting The Circuit

Based on overall power ceilings of the available weapons, the order of priority should be:

Incarnon Burston Adapter > Incarnon Dual Vasto Adapter > Incarnon Soma Adapter > Incarnon Nami Solo Adapter > Incarnon Ack & Brunt Adapter

The clear winner among this week’s batch of Incarnon Adapters is Incarnon Burston. With this upgrade, Burston stands tall on top of all assault rifles in Warframe. Not only does it boast easily attainable red crits with Galvanized Crosshair, but the Incarnon transformation also comes with a ridiculously high amount of ammo to chew through.

The second spot is contested by Incarnon Vasto and Incarnon Soma. Incarnon Vasto comes out on top because of the huge single-target burst DPS potential it presents. If you are looking for a simple solution to killing Kuva Liches or for Archon Hunts, Incarnon Vasto is an easy second pick this week.

Incarnon Soma, on the other hand, is an infamously disappointing upgrade to an otherwise beloved community darling. It is the one of the rare instances where an Incarnon form is inferior to the regular weapon - similar to Felarx.

The rest, as with most Incarnon melee weapons, cannot compete with the ranged options available. Get them if you have got everything else.

Incarnon AdapterBest used onRequirements to Evolve to IncarnonDescription
Incarnon Burston

Burston Prime

20x Pathos Clamps

60x Rune Marrow

20x Maw Fangs

Big red crit numbers, high ammo pool, universal useability - and there are no disadvantages. Easily one of the best Incaron Genesis weapons in Warframe.
Incarnon Vasto
Vasto (Deathtrap Trigger)/ Vasto Prime (Lone Gun)

20x Pathos Clamps

70x Yao Shrubs

150 x Saggen Pearls

If you need a single-target DPS machine or an Acolyte killer, some Evolution talents on Vasti Incarnon packs a mean punch.
Incarnon Soma
Soma Prime

20x Pathos Clamps

60x Rune Marrow

60x Silphsela

The Incarnon mode being worse than the regular trigger is never a good look for an Incarnon weapon.

Incarnon Ack & Brunt
Ack & Brunt

20x Pathos Clamps

70x Dracroots

300x Ariette Scales

The spectral axe gimmick ultimately results in a very budget Exodia Contagion. Get it if you have everything else.
Incarnon Nami Solo
Nami Solo

20x Pathos Clamps

70x Dracroots

150x Aggristones

A solid weapon to use as a simple, straightforward sword melee. Has good status and crit scaling, but nothing extraordinary.
