Notes[]
Incarnon Genesis[]
- Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn Miter Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Miter with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.
Evolution[]
- Installing the Miter Incarnon Genesis requires 20 Pathos Clamps, 60 Rune Marrow and 60 Tasoma Extract
- 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.
- Fire homing and bouncing Heat Damage explosives.
- Incarnon Form becomes fully automatic and its projectiles have gained slight homing properties and explode in a 3 meter area of effect dealing Heat damage, with significantly higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, and Fire Rate. Projectiles that hit enemies will rebound and home into other nearby enemies, albeit with reduced flight speed.
- The projectile speed after rebound is not affected by mods or Swift Deliverance.
- Incarnon Form becomes fully automatic and its projectiles have gained slight homing properties and explode in a 3 meter area of effect dealing Heat damage, with significantly higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, and Fire Rate. Projectiles that hit enemies will rebound and home into other nearby enemies, albeit with reduced flight speed.
- 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 reticule by achieving weakpoint hits and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 4 weakpoints s 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 Miter's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 5 rounds to a maximum of 20. Once all ammunition is expended, the Miter 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.
Evolution II[]
- Unlock Challenge: Complete a solo mission with this weapon equipped.
- Perk 1: Swift Sawblades:
- Increase Damage by +77.
- With Channeled Ability active: +70% Fire Rate.

Evolution IV[]
- Unlock Challenge: Kill 31 enemies with Bleed status.
- Increasing Slash damage such as Fanged Fusillade will increase the likelihood of triggering Bleed status.

- Perk 1: Sawblade Storm:
- Hold charged shot for 1s to increase area of effect.
- Does not affect the Incarnon form.

Tips[]
- The Miter has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it an ideal candidate for a Desecrating Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
- A fully charged rounds have high punch through, making it effective against large groups, particularly Infested due to the high Slash damage.
- This also makes it possible to hit a single enemy twice with one shot: shooting a charged round directly at an enemy in front of a wall will make the rebounded blade hit the enemy a second time.
- Mods that affect fire rate also affect the charging time.
- Using Squad Ammo Restores or Carrier's Ammo Case is highly recommended as ammo can drain fast with normal attacks.
- As the weapon's projectiles start their flight at the rear of the weapon (compared to the edge of the barrel for most weapons) and fly in straight lines, it is not recommended to use Heavy Caliber as the mod will cause the blades to be fired at wide angles from the aiming reticle at high ranks.
- While having a crit chance of only 5% on uncharged shots, fully charged shots have a base crit chance of 10% which is enough to bring it up to 25% with Point Strike, enough to take advantage of heavy critical headshot slash procs that are very common with the Miter due to having mostly slash damage.
- With the addition of the crits on charged shots, it's possible to deal high damage Slash status effects when landing a critical hit and a status proc on a headshot on an enemy. This allows the weapon to perform surprisingly well on higher levels, similar to how the Dread can cause strong Slash procs even through heavy grineer armor.
- It can be useful to add Continuous Misery to the weapon to extend the Slash proc's duration.
- Due to the slow projectile speed, it can be difficult to hit targets, even if they are directly approaching you. If you instead aim at the ground ahead of them, the blade will ricochet off of the ground and will be more likely to hit your target.
Bugs[]
- When fired from a hologram via Hall of Mirrors, the projectile will be the user's color palette, however the destroyed sawblade will be the default palette upon contact with a second bounce.
- When firing the projectiles at a Button on certain Orokin missions, the blades will hit the button and spin in place. At the end of their flight time, they will fall to the ground.
- As of Hotfix 36.1.2 there are several bugs:
- The weapon lost its innate punch through on charged shots.
- The weapon is unaffectd by any punch through mods.
- The charged shot does not ricochet anymore.
- You can still hit more than one target with charged shots if you are standing very close to your first target. How far or close you can be seems to be unreliable, but it usually only works if closer than 1-2m. If you manage to "punch through", then the shot seems to follow normal punch through rules with unmodded values and the un-bugged innate 2.5m punch through from charged shots.
Trivia[]
- The Miter has a non-static model; its discs rotate inside the weapon during charging, although the effect is barely visible to the user due to the position of the gun.
- The Miter was first seen in the game with the Grineer Eviscerator in the Sling-Stone Event.
- Written on the disc is the word which translates to "Cutface" in Grineer.
- The Miter can be carried by Grineer Targets in a Capture mission.
- A blade that has been shot can be found on the ground shortly after its third impact. After a few seconds it will disappear.
- Reloading, even while the magazine is empty, will always eject a saw out the top of the magazine that uses the default colors, remaining intact. This is unlike fired blades which retain customization colors but crumple when they bounce and drop to the floor.
- When held using Hall of Mirrors, the sawblade will not be hidden if the player looks through one of their clones.
- Grineer Eviscerators seem to be able to fire the weapon faster than a player can without any fire rate Mods (uncharged).
- The Panthera, a rifle which requires the Miter as a prerequisite to be built, similarly fires sawblades, with an additional ability to fire a levitating saw that deals continuous damage.
- Slightly contrasting the Miter, however, the Panthera's sawblades are aligned vertically, compared to the Miter, whose sawblades are aligned horizontally.
- It cannot charge its attacks unlike the Miter.
- The Miter can be considered among the toughest weapons to acquire, due to its high number of parts in addition to the Twin Gremlins Blueprint being on the same drop table, it's highly likely to end up with multiple duplicates before getting the last required part.
- Up until the introduction of the Shedu, the Miter was the only weapon to use a Chassis as a component.
- The name "Miter" could be derived from a miter saw, a type of power saw with a circular sawblade, and/or from the Latin word mittere (mitto), which means to throw.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.
