They affect the pseudo-exalts because they are considered as the same weapon stat increases as mods, essentially placing a flat buff to the stats of the pseudo-exalts as well, which can then be modded to your liking. That's also why incarnon weapons cannot be transformed in Grendel's missions where you cannot use mods, since the first evolution is the ability to transform the weapon.

[@divinefox4306]

Pretty sure the mods apply after the incarn buff and affect them the same way they affect base DMG, so it's essentially+30% base crit, which then allows you to red crit.

[@pancakemixwithblueberriesinit]

[@sticky0159]

I remember back then when I got bored and would just look at what stuff I have to play around with and thought, "You know it would be funny to max out the ceramic dagger" funnily enough they made an incarnon of one of forgotten weapons in the game because of how frequent those alerts for this came up back then. Glad to see this ceramic dagger get some love after all those years. Now if they just made dual Seer pistols or dual Stug now that would be a sight to see.

[@ssjusticess]

I personally dont like that incarnon guns lose their personality when transformed like the burston incarnon should be the somas transformation, the somas incarnon would better fit the braton and the atomos just getting a blast damage aoe instead of a lingering molten heat dmg aoe is a huge miss for me, same as the synoid gamma core for no reason. incarnons better yes;mostly because of the much needed stat buffs but still sad that much thought wasnt put into them in my opinion. There are a few that hold true to what they are; dual toxocyst, latron, lex, angstrum and gorgon make since but overall i wish theyd change the ones i mentioned to have better flow.

[@hoopla5502]

I would say the majority of guns that have incarnons have next to no personality and are basic guns that could appear in any game, the some is just a machine gun, the burston is just a plain old burst rifle

[@xornedge8204]

I heard somewhere the devs are looking into removing pseudo exalteds. Honestly kind of hoping for that and a more customisable system to take its place so we can customise the abilities themselves(although characters WITH exalted weapons should just use those stats rather than a separate weapon affecting it)

[@spherexxx44]

It's an effect has been always in the game which we used to call back then a Stat stick, meaning a law use weapon with 5 rivin's disposition which gives the max effect to exalted weapon added to what the exalted weapon already has, since they're both melee weapons and they feed on each other's mods.

[@kyaii]

we still call them stat sticks and yes, I'm aware of how they work 😭

Magistar actually is better specifically for crit why simply it can use magus aggress it may only increase ur crit chance by 16 but its worth it since most pseudo exalteds have a base cd of 2 besides gara which is 1

Having a riven with over 300cc alongside other mods for cc puts my ceramic dagger at +500% crit. Perfect for tier 3/4 red crits for my Khora

[@boqueefya3623]

its also the best melee on ash as it allows him to infinitely hold high combo for boosting his bladestorm damage

[@acedfox541]

I do kinda hate they changed the look of it a while back though.. I loved it looking like an actual ceramic kitchen knife, instead of a short sword.

[@CollateralKaos]

Actually the magistar and mk1 bo are better for this. The magistar normal version gives 16% crit while *also* adding a 1x to your crit multiplier AND it recieves the buff from magus aggress (should be the right arcane?) That adds 350% critical damage. Thats a 3x crit multiplier and an easy 18x modded with that arcane and the 2 available CD mods. Mk1 bo on the other hand gives a ridiculous 38% status chance which can make your slash status with khora immensely easier to proc, or you can recieve 15% of both CC and SC for a more overall stat buff. This doesn't make the ceramic dagger any worse, especially considering you can achieve an 11x initial combo with it, but it certainly puts the stat buffs to shame. So if you do not plan on heavy attacking and can keep your combo up those might be significantly better options.

[@noahedenborg4221]

Yes but for magistar it's best on khora It's better on others if u have another source of crit for like atlas and Gara other wise those would want ceramic instead

[@CollateralKaos]

@noahedenborg4221 it gives crit, enough to red crit for Atlas, way more than enough for khora, and (the only other one) excal desperately needs the damage buff since 300% CD is exceptionally better than the higher base CC Also, usually, making your crits hit harder is better than higher crit tiers. This is one of those instances.

[@bewilder210]

Imo, for khora specifically , magistar is way better since it has higher crit multi than ceramic dagger. My khora + magistar still able to always red crit even without riven, just need to build up combo point, which is like very quick when spamming whipclaw.

[@valhallasshadow9631]

The perfect loop does exist 😂

[@DanteorGio]

I got a riven for this dagger with 200+ crit chance, 150+ dmg. It slaps with Khora, i need to test it on atlas now.

[@joeybisson2684]

[@IonFlexx]

It’s okay I don’t understand either 🥲

[@Awesomeficationify]

​@@daultumitenub812 I have over 4000 hrs in this game, so I got a phD in this stuff. 😅 Exalted weapons are moddable ability weapons like Excal's 4. Pseudo-exalted weapons are abilities that don't have their own mod slots, but instead scale with Warframe and melee mods + the melee combo counter. Khora is a prime example since her 1st ability is her main damage tool and a "pseudo-exalted weapon." Pseudo-exalted weapons only scale off of certain mods and completely ignore others. This means to get the best damage with these abilities you need to build a "stat stick" AKA a weapon that is built around making the pseudo-exalted do the most damage. Ceramic dagger incarnon comes with built-in bonuses that can affect these abilities on top of what I've already mentioned. This makes it really good on a lot of frames. The pseudo-exalted weapon mechanic is very confusing at 1st, and even veteran players want them to be simplified so players don't have to sacrfice their melee builds to min-max damage.

[@daultumitenub812]

@@Awesomeficationify there should be a separate goddamn uni major for this the hell he saying

[@NepetaLeijon]

Stat sticks and pseudos aren't confusing at all lmfao, it's just an ability that draws stats from a weapons mods, and some mods aren't compatible for balancing or coding issues. Mesas peacemakers used to be a psuedo too, that was fun lol
