Evolutions

• Installing the Cestra Incarnon Genesis requires 20  Pathos Clamps, 150  Saggen Pearl, and 80  Kovnik.
• When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
  • Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

Evolution I

• Weakpoint hits charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
• Critical Chance increases with uninterrupted shots fired.
  • Shots gain increased Critical Chance while the trigger is held. Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance are increased, but Fire Rate is lowered.
• Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
• Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticle by achieving weakpoint hits and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 15 weakpoints will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
  • Charges do not generate on the backpacks of most MOA variants, or vulnerability spots generated by  Sonar or  Detect Vulnerability in places other than actual weakpoints.
  • Weakpoints on corpses or Invulnerable targets do not build charges.
  • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
• Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Cestra's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 10 rounds to a maximum of 150. Once all ammunition is expended, the Cestra reverts to its normal form.
  • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
  • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as  Energized Munitions).
  • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
• Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.
