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.

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.

Read along to find out which Adapters you can get from the Warframe Incarnon rotation this week, and which ones are considered the best.

The current Warframe Incarnon rotation is Week 7 (G rotation), containing Incarnon Genesis Adapters for:

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

Which are the best weapons in the current Warframe Incarnon rotation? (May 6 to 12)

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

Incarnon Dread Adapter > Incarnon Hate Adapter > Incarnon Zylok Adapter > Incarnon Nami Despair Adapter > Incarnon Sibear Adapter

This week’s Incarnon rotation is colloquially called the ‘Stalker rotation’, featuring adapters for the three weapons that the Stalker drops. Surprisingly, no blanket statement can be made venerating these as the best option this week. Both Incarnon Dread and Hate are first-spot material, but Zylok packs enough of a punch in its primary fire to pull ahead of Despair in terms of priority.

While there are no clear winners, there is one clear loser in this batch: Sibear. Not many players have the weapon because of the huge Cryotic sink for its build-up, and if you do get it, it’s not the best melee Incarnon upgrade out there.

There are a few niche builds you can try with its area-of-effect Cold explosions on slam attacks, such as a synergy with Biting Frost. However, on the whole, you should get it last if you care about having the best Incarnons.

Incarnon AdapterBest used onRequirements to Evolve to IncarnonDescription
Incarnon Dread

Dread

20x Pathos Clamps

60x Rune Marrow

60x Tasoma Extract

While not one of the top 5 Incaron Genesis weapons in Warframe, Dread is essentially Nataruk on steroids, offering high crit numbers and a wide beam projectile in a bow.
Incarnon Hate
Hate

20x Pathos Clamps

70x Dracroot

20x Maw Fangs

Arguably the only melee weapon capable of getting to the top of an Incarnon weapon tier list, Hate is currently the best scythe in the game.
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 Despair
Despair

20x Pathos Clamps

70x Yao Shrubs

60x Silphsela

Useability glitches aside, the Incarnon Despair offers something unique: an area-of-effect explosive projectile that is also silent
Incarnon Sibear
Sibear

20x Pathos Clamps

70x Dracroots

80x Connla Sprouts

Getting the Incarnon Sibear feels like an exercise in sunk cost fallacy more than anything else. Its Incarnon form does not make it the best melee option in this rotation, let alone in all Incarnon melee weapons.
