Incarnon Burston is easily one of Warframe's best assault rifles, but it requires some investment to harness its power. You'll need to get the Burston Incarnon Genesis blueprint from Rotation F (week 6) of The Circuit in Steel Path and implant it on your Burston of choice.
For this Burston Incarnon build guide, we will use Burston Prime as the base. Even though the Incarnon Talents are numerically weaker, it still results in an overall superior weapon.

Although there are some build possibilities with the Gun-CO from Fatal Affliction, the best Incarnon Burston build in terms of performance is still Critical-leaning.
To that end, here are the Evolution talents used for this Incarnon Burston build:
- Evolution I unlocks the Incarnon mode
- Evolution II: Fortress Salvo
- Evolution III: Kinetic Battle
- Evolution IV: Absolute Valor
Warframe Incarnon Burston build with Viral and Slash (5-Forma)
![Viral and Slash may be cliche by now, but it delivers results (Image via Overframe)](https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/5f043-17143895378671-1920.jpg 1920w)
We use the tried-and-tested combo of Viral and Slash for this 5-Forma Incarnon Burston build, but there are other alternatives you can build towards that we will discuss.
Mods used:
- Galvanized Chamber
- Hunter Munitions
- Critical Delay
- Vital Sense
- Primed Bane of Corrupted (replace with the faction damage multiplier of your choice)
- Hammer Shot
- Malignant Force
- Primed Cryo Rounds
Modding alternatives:
- You can use Rime Rounds instead of Primed Cryo Rounds, which will save you one Forma.
- Primed Bane of Corrupted is a huge DPS boost if you are going for an endurance run. However, the double-dipping damage increment for Slash procs is not as necessary if you are just doing Steel Path Incursions, Sorties, or non-endless missions. In this case, the Bane mod can be replaced with Serration.
Raw damage Incarnon Burston build with Corrosive and Heat (4-Forma)
![Corrosive-Heat Incarnon Burston build is relatively rarer, but it is just as potent (Image via Overframe)](https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2024/04/04a23-17143896192701-1920.jpg 1920w)
If you prefer more up-front raw damage, a Corrosive-Heat Incarnon Burston build can be just as powerful. In this build, we bolster the Critical Stats even further, with red crit potential and some DoT application through Fire damage from Incarnon mode.
The downside is that you must stay zoomed in to benefit fully from the enhanced Critical Chance and Critical Damage. However, with some additional help from supplements like Roar or Nourish, this build can easily keep up with the Viral-Slash meta at level cap.
Mods used:
- Galvanized Chamber
- Galvanized Scope
- Critical Delay
- Vital Sense
- Bladed Rounds
- High Voltage
- Malignant Force
- Hammer Shot
You may also consider Rivens for the Burston Incarnon, since Riven disposition is quite high. Stats to go for would be Multishot, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, +Heat, or Fire Rate.
