How I got the 'Torid Incarnon' in Warframe! It is Insane!

There are a lot of powerful weapons Warframe and not everyone agrees which is the best among all, each has their preference based on their play style. Some players prefer easy-to-use weapons, while others go for the most damage output or some go for weapons with huge AOE (Area of Effect) etc. But almost all agree that Torid is one of the best weapons. That's why I wanted a Torid.

But the normal Torid is just a slow grenade launcher-type weapon dealing a good amount of damage (not too exceptional) while having toxic as a base element that completely ignores shields and targets the health of the monsters. It becomes a death beam when it gets the Incarnon genesis applied to it. These genesis are available in a game mode called 'Duviri Circuits'. But you can only get two Incarnon Genesis adaptors for two specific weapons each week. I was waiting for Torid Incarnon to come up and it just came into rotation for this week.

---

I selected the Torid Incarnon Genesis adaptor along with the Dual Toxicist. I will focus on the Dual Toxicist next for sure. After that, I grinded for a couple of hours to get to level 5 and got the adapter as a reward.

---

The next adapter is at level 10 and I still have many days left to farm that one. I went straight to the Vendor who applied the Incarnon Genesis adaptor to the weapon. It takes some resources but I already had all of them. This saved me some time for sure.

---

You can see I have a little collection of Incarnon weapons and there is still a lot to collect. Anyways, this weapon gets 4 levels of additional upgrades. Each level or stage requires a small challenge to be completed like killing 100 enemies with the weapon or something like that, nothing hard.

You can choose one of the options at each evolution stage which can be a stat buff to the base weapon. It can be more critical change or extra base damage or better fire rate or higher maximum ammo. The first stage is just changing the weapon to the incarnon form and having no options.

But this is the most powerful here. Here is how this incarnon form makes it a complete menace in the game. There is a meter which builds up after you deal direct hits to the enemy and you can 'alt fire' to change the weapon to incarnon mode which has limited ammo and this incarnon mode also make this weapon into a beam weapon.

This beam melts enemies and chains to the nearby enemies as well, dealing damage to a group of enemies in small proximity. This is powerful as the damage is innate Toxin element damage and you can further mod this weapon to add another element or combined element like Blast (Head + Cold) which explodes on contact dealing more AOE damage.

---

This change from a slow grenade launcher with limited range to a beam weapon that chains to other enemies is so powerful and can easily take on hordes of enemies. You can see how much damage it deals that the damage numbers are covering the entire screen. I might have to disable those, I guess.

Here is how I modded this weapon. I saw a few popular builds on the internet and chose the best among them.

---

• Galvanised Chamber for Multishot, Vital Sense for increased critical multiplier.

• Crypto Rounds (Cold) and Thermite Rounds (Heat) gave me the combined element Blast, which deals a ton of damage.

• Primed Firestorm is definitely one of the best mods in this one as it increases the area of effect of those blast damage so even enemies farther from the target take damage (the damage falls off nearly from the centre of the target though, but it is still a game changer).

• Malignant Force for 60% more Toxin damage + 60% more status chance, so the Blast and Toxin both elemental damage are dealt.

• Vile Acceleration for +90% fire rate with slight damage reduction. It is really worth it. The more damage per second you deal the faster it is to deal with the enemies. I had to buy this mod for 20 platinum from the market.

• Critical Delay for more Critical Chance (200% Critical chance increase) sacrificing some fire rate. But I had the Vile Acceleration to take care of the decreased fire rate anyway.

I spent 5 Forma on this build. These Forma are harder to get and you can only craft one per day. But this was essential as it makes the cost of mods half if the polarity symbol on that mod matches my forma polarity. Of course, you can set your slot polarity while applying the forma.

But each time you apply the forma you have to level the weapon again from rank 0 to rank 30. It takes about 5-10 mins with an affinity booster.

---

After all of this, I was finally ready with my build and I tested it on some of the hardest enemies and it dealt a lot of damage. This weapon really excels in crowded places but is as strong as its own and can be used as a single-target weapon too. I am going to use it for general purposes all the time. Not only does it deal a ton of damage, it is super easy to charge up and easy to use. I can see why this is such a popular choice within the community.

This finishes my quest of getting an easy-to-use Primary Meta weapon. I already have the best secondary weapon, Laetum. The only thing left is a good melee weapon and it will be my next target. For now, I am short on Forma and a lot of other resources.

---

Another good news is I am not an MR (Mastery Rank) 16 player. This is the rank where all the weapons are unlocked. I won't be MR locked with any piece of content the game has to offer. Going beyond this Mastery Rank will only give me more standing caps and void traces caps etc.

Thanks for reading!
