Warframe | FELARX: The Anti-Incarnon | 5 Top Builds

[@Aznvasions]

*TIMESTAMPS* NEW Gun CO Spreadsheet: tinyurl.com/GunCOv2 I'm on Twitch too now! See me live at: www.twitch.tv/aznvasions *ADDENDUM* Yes, I typically leave out major synergies on new releases and save it for later video, As you can tell by how long even just an in-depth rundown on Felarx itself is. Yes it is a projectile weapon in both modes, meaning it is broken for Magnetize, Xata's Whisper, Tornado, etc. Also if you're going for Endurance Demolysts and go armor strip, just take the Corrosive setups and change to pure Viral. 0:00 Intro & RE: Incarnon Form 1:06 Crafting Cost & Resource Farming 1:56 Two Felarxes 2:09 The Incarnon Evolution System 2:42 Innodem Incarnon Mode Properties 3:17 Evolution 5 5:04 Evolution 4 5:57 Charging Incarnon Form? 6:16 Evolution 3 7:52 Evolution 2 8:39 Incarnon Form vs Normal Mode 10:27 Felarx Build 1 13:41 Felarx Falloff 14:23 Ammo Economy 14:44 Fractalized Reset Mechanics 15:22 Felarx Build 2 17:15 Primer & Holster Reload 18:46 Felarx Build 3 21:07 Felarx Build 4 22:40 Felarx Build 5 & Incarnon Mechanics 23:34 Incarnon Showcase & Problems 24:33 Incarnon Verdict 24:51 Felarx Build Diversity 25:22 Conclusion

The arsenal view ob Felarx is bugged it seems, whichever perk you get you're stuck with %20 cc

[@zenerstorm95]

The Incarnon mode is literally just the Akarius without the big boom at the end. Like, all they have to do is give it a blast radius, and it becomes so much better than what it already is. Hell, it has the VISUAL effect of exploding projectiles, so there is no excuse for it not to be an AOE weapon

[@FelisImpurrator]

That or make it actually do the damage of proper pocket snipers. Making it identical pellet count to the shotgun with no spread would be a good start. Fake shotgun auto burst like the Quartakk, for maximum status. The Incarnon flips base PT behavior, having extremely high Object PT but zero base Enemy PT. I would say - simple fix? Make it copy Zenith or Argonak's enemy highlighting behavior and let it punch through infinity-thickness walls. If it were a Zenith style mode it would easily pull its weight.

[@eyywannn8601]

It doesn’t have home-in like the Akarius.

[@theshellderinslowbrostail5422]

Or make it have high fire rate cuz the dmg in there is good if it had more brrr. Either more range of explosion (or you know, an actual AOE) or more fire rate to spam it

[@VortexKiller2]

More like a slow dual detron if anything

[@TasmanianGodGeo]

They should of just had it become a rapid fire high damage slug shotgun, like a.waaaaay better crit kohm

[@suyogyaluitel8974]

21:09 Nice weapon animation. 10/10, would recommend.

[@theshellderinslowbrostail5422]

I find funny how all the incarnon weapons have always a issue with either the Evolution Nodes, Incarnon Form, or lack of variety. Felarx when i tried it on mission it was actually fun how everything works if i wanted. If i wanted either Evo Node, it worked nicely. Innodem was just busted but its just a great melee, i like i tho. Laetum is just a AoE spam but works at it so its not bad. Phenmor turned into an Archgun and i love it for that. Specially fun to use personally And Praedos made my dream of slam dunking fun in Warframe have an actual reason to exist. I hope they refine this system for future weapons and make something funny and unique.

[@sh0shin]

Tbh Laetum single target is disgusting too just slow bullets

[@bumboclat]

your incarnon guides are insanely well made and complete. i keep coming back to them for non meta ideas.

[@goldblade709]

1 Thing to mention outside of the obvious buffs. The arcane for reload speed counts moving in and out of operator as an ability cast, with the new operator transition this makes for an easy proc on any frame.

[@ebonslayer3321]

One thing I really appreciate about your videos is you don't show Rivens on the build. As someone who absolutely fucking hates the Riven system, it's incredible annoying to see every video on a weapon say "I have this god-tier Riven I either paid 2k plat for or rolled 70 times, if you don't have one just like this then use a crit mod or something I dunno". Good on you for making your builds available to the people who don't want to get fucked in the ass by either that pile of godawful RNG or the Riven Mafia.

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

When I saw the big, slow-moving projectile coming out of the Felarx I thought it was going to be an explosion, instead it just did nothing as apparently its hitbox is even smaller than the effect, landed on the floor right next to another enemy and petered out pathetically. The Felarx's secondary not only is hard to aim, it takes twice as long to kill anything because you can't hit nearly as many headshots and you don't even get that many shots out of the incarnon form. The incarnon form is like a defective Laetum, the only hope I have for it is when I get to unlock its fifth evolution.

[@thespacetime]

I honestly think they thought that Internal Bleeding works on all primaries, or else why would they reduce the Incarnan form's base damage from the normal form and put forced impact procs on it. Edit: Also reduced the fire rate from 3 to 1.5. just doesnt make sense.

[@maurymanna19]

Also, they changed auto trigger to semi, took off Punch through and aoe effects, it feels like someone misplaced the weapon stats and features

[@leonsixt2744]

I was waiting on this video since the release of the weapon, I wouldn’t say I don’t know what I’m doing in terms of modding but your expertise is always worth a watch. Keep up the good work 🙂

[@Aznvasions]

Thanks, means a lot, especially for the bigger vid like this

[@mitchkupietz]

It’s nice to see another Zephyr main out there

[@EL-LWC]

The incarnon is definitely disappointing but both modes are still exceptionally powerful and felarx is starting to feel like it may be my favourite "true" shotgun. I will definitely be using it a lot. Great vid as always, keep it up!

[@-Zaito-]

Would you say it is better than cedo?

[@yahwehra1771]

@@-Zaito- no it's not because of 1 thing, cedo has 2 fire modes that work together effectively. The feel of the felarx is like a real shotgun, can be used automatically or semi . Incarnon mode is slow Not good for crowd control.

[@yahwehra1771]

@@-Zaito- felarx, cedo,opticor, and tenet arca plasmor my favorite weapons. Kuva weapons take away the feel of the game, yes i have them too and i only play high level missions 100+

[@EL-LWC]

@@-Zaito- cedo is really more like an assault rifle. Like bubonico. The felarx may be automatic but its designed to generally be fired one at a time like a normal shotgun, given its high base damage, small magazine and shell by shell reload. Plus of course it has a status application focused alt fire. so not really a relevant comparison from my perspective. But if u insist on an answer then yes. The evos and CO scaling make it much more powerful than cedo

[@HesOneShotOMG]

This has quickly taken over my favorite weapon slot with the negative critchance riven combined with revenant using xatas whisper is absolutely insane 😁

[@lucasfraczek4320]

If you'd ask me the Incarnon Form should do AOE and have a higher fire rate to accommodate for the lack of crit it does for the most part. Other than that it still hits pretty hard.

[@jonathandraughn3698]

I don't know when it happened, but the non-incarnon no longer has infinite body punch through. The incarnon form does now. There's still no explosion with the incarnon's impact, but there is a slight thickness to the projectile. You can miss a little bit and still hit

[@FadedFades]

Thanks for your build tips! It helped me fix my build up. I been using it since it came out and have a good riven for it. I felt it was so bad at first, but stuck with it and had to buy some mods to make it work like primed tactical pump is one… My conc lusion and final build testing.. The felarx is one of the best shotguns in the game! It stands it ground and still one shots after a hour in sp kuva survivals. It can one shot level 5 liches and is a beast in index, but runs out of ammo too fast. Honestly its what I wish the arca plasmor could do because now any other gun I use now pales in comparison. The incarnon version I use for fun now and then. I notice it has way better range so I’ll use it to snipe and it works good. Currently I am fine with how it is, but they could buff the incarnon version. Either way the weapon is very fun and I did enjoy the building process was way different than how the standard builds are.

[@Thaylien]

I think I have a really simple fix for the Incarnon mode: give it pellets instead of single shot. The difference is all down to the way it goes from shotgun to single-shot, with none of the mods that benefit a shotgun actually truly benefiting the pistol. Being able to mod both modes as a shotgun… that would at least make more sense.

[@adarkwind4712]

So make it the pyrana.

[@Thaylien]

​@@adarkwind4712 The... Pyrana is a multi-shot weapon, with pellets... So... yes? I mean, that's kind of the point of my reply.

[@adarkwind4712]

@@Thaylien the pyrana is a shotgun pistol which after three kills becomes a dual shotgun pistol. You’re comment just makes the incarnon form the pyrana

[@Thaylien]

@@adarkwind4712 Fun fact; shotgun mods would (if they were able to actually be put on the Pyrana) be beneficial to the gun because they're made for weapons with innate multi-shot. 'Making something the Pyrana' is a weird take on the situation because you can have dual secondaries with innate multishot that are not the Pyrana. Maybe instead we'd make it the Twin Rogga? Or how about just keep the exact same firing mechanics we do now, with the same accuracy and spread, but break the damage dealt down into multi-shot pellets so that they can actually benefit from the way we mod Shotguns.

[@StrutZ007]

Great content as always! I only use the incarnon mode if I'm running low on ammo. Normally ammo is topped off by the time incarnon mode is used up or switch back manually for tough enemies ^_^

[@IxodesPersulcatus]

They probably thought the incarnon form would earn its place by offsetting the terrible ammo economy, but it halving the fire rate and suddenly being non-auto just feels *terrible*

[@dfborba]

Hey - love your videos. Always great info. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned to you before, but occasionally your speaking pace feels a bit rushed. This video specifically, and most of your newer videos are noticeably better than older ones. It seems to me there is a slight tendency of speeding up as you speak for a prolonged amount of time - slower at the beginning of a cut & faster as you go on. Definitely not a huge deal, but something to perhaps keep in mind. For folks that are not already familiar with a topic you're discussing, it can be a bit hard to absorb when there aren't enough pauses or the cadence becomes static. This is probably a bigger challenge than I realize for content creators, as you probably need to keep in mind video length & viewer retention. Otherwise - keep up the great work!

[@xavierminner5669]

Great video, also you channel is growing fast bro💪

[@gregmerter4083]

The incarnon form actually obliterates the bird sentient things in the archon fights funny enough, mainly due to punch through. The regular form kinda struggles with that.

[@Vedrlaufnir]

I had no idea this thing had infinite body punch through on it's base form, that makes it's incarnon form even worse! Edit: It's incarnon's shot has the same visual effect as the Nataruk, even leaving that strange AoE effect behind on impact which makes me thing they intended to make this a sort of charged Nataruk.

[@kylzepolaczkowaty2197]

From now on I'll start reminding az to add adblock where it matters

[@deken5206]

For the viral hunt build instead of using the perk that gives firerate you could use the perk that grand realaod when holster wich will allow you to use prime tactical pomp instead of chilling reaload and shootgun spazz instead of toxic barrage. For the viral you can use the xoris just like the non crit slash build

[@glitchvariable5336]

The gun actually is improperly displaying damage, it is doing two shots which converge and explode on impact on one spot for incarnon. My incarnon actually deals more damage than my normal mode. It actually is two projectiles not one, i only noticed because when it fires without any multishot you can see two bullet trails but one projectile when viewing it on diagonal or side view shots. The felarx is my favorite incarnon weapon. Honestly i use both modes because the incarnon is beastly especially with gas and magnetic it flatlines anything honestly but very few people actually use gas nowadays.

[@pedrinhosales3224]

What evolutions and build do you use on your felarx??

[@hartantoanggoro]

It's Incarnon mode is the legendary dual wield Noisy Cricket but nerfed to the point it loses the boom but retain the fraction of it's power

[@oblivion8997]

you could use large magazine to stack mounting momentum and use holstered reload to retain the fire rate

[@r1tzie_rino]

another 20 plus mins video lets gooooo!

[@rarabeaka1051]

In my experience weapon truly shines while utilizing infinite punch through. Status version + Xata whisper annihilates whole groups of enemies in ONE shot if you lucky on void proc. Orbiting projectiles causes chain reaction, and somehow(maybe because Xata whisper is separate damage instance) dont lose much of a damage as it suppose to. It's like void-buffed exergris, but A LOT stronger and projectile-orbiting time is really long.

[@TheRagnus]

Try this setup with Nataruk. The weird interaction with Magnetize and Xata's Whisper was fixed, and the results are quite hilarious, especially if you have a means of grouping enemies together.

[@rarabeaka1051]

@@TheRagnus yea, i use Nataruk this way aswell. pretty good stuff

[@eyywannn8601]

Is it better than Tenet Arca Plasmor? I felt like Arca was stronger than Nataruk using Magnetize.

[@rarabeaka1051]

@@eyywannn8601 in magnetize - arca plasmor somehow kinda same or better, but with void proc - nataruk and felarx. projectile size and attraction force interaction makes difference

[@Taverius]

Cool, builds, but I don't think I'll put any forma into it unless they make the incarnon mode worth using.

[@3XOUT]

Tested this gun for awhile now. Incarnon still weaker than normal mode. Also, the one node where it says it switches between projectile speed and PT on reload? Yeah, both are up all the time. So that's pretty great. Will just build it for crit, only use the normal mode, and maybe still take the 2k bonus on non crits. Or the 75 % on efficiency on 3x PT. RIP all the foma I already spent. Lol

[@misteranscho5217]

i really like your build videos, especially the in-depth explanations about what works and why. I made 2 Felarx to copy and try out your builds, all of them are fun to me, especially the first one. I was wondering tho, do you have an "everyday use" build, like with Phenmor and Laetum (spray 'n play did you call it if I remember correctly), and if so, what would it look like? I' ve changed Phenmor and Laetum to fit my personal playstyle, and I'm curious about this one will turn out

[@maurymanna19]

I'm pretty sure if they put auto trigger and infinite punch trough to the incarnon mode it would be top tier

[@hank5111]

my playstyle is to use normal mod (auto shotgun) as a way to clear heavy troops and the incarnon mod (simi pistols ) as a way to clear trash

[@maxieprimo2758]

Good to see incarnon weapons already feeling stale/failing their own premise.

[@FelisImpurrator]

You could call it the Incarnot. The Incar-non.

[@ankokuraven]

I feel like its incarnon should have been an arm Canon

[@euclxd8033]

Do you think it's possible to have a viable, synergistic loadout by equipping all 3 incarnon weapon types? Based on the requirements for incarnon evo V it seems like DE wants us to equip all of them. (I also think that its cool for fashion reasons) but since none of the incarnons work as primers (unless we take into account copium) i think the performance of melee weapons would suffer. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@theguardian1993]

Simple, just use either melee for utility

[@Aznvasions]

The melees are too strong to use as primers for the guns because of their bleed, but in theory you can use the projectiles of innodem to prime for laetum or phenmor. You can also use laetum or phenmor to prime for the melee, though idk which one would be better in that case as a gun primer. Phenmor’s issue is it might still kill because of slash on the Incarnon, but an actual primer laetum might be possible, albeit annoying to charge up when it empties for use as just a primer

[@frolicmisanthrope]

Hey Azn, I don't know if i'm correct, but while I was testing some random weapons in the simulacra i switched into incarnon mode on the Felarx, and I was surprised to see that the weapon was alot better than in the past. Checking the wiki, I saw some buffs in terms of damage, but now the projectiles also feel totally different! Seemed like an "arca plasmor type shots" with infinite body PT. Could you check if now it's actually worth using the weapon in her evolved form? :D

[@Aznvasions]

It’s better than they used to be, and is actually usable now. I tried last week, it’s still not as good as the non-Incarnon imo. But the build options haven’t really changed on the Incarnon form either.

[@frolicmisanthrope]
