Here is [Phenmor], the sibling of [Felarx] and [Laetum]. I want to stay with the Incarnon mode as much as possible, so I sometimes use Heat to stun and to get easier Headshots. I showcase Viral Slash as it combats all Health types so it's good against everything, but if you use a 100% amor strip then Viral Heat is more effective. Primary Deadhead to reduce recoil and [Terminal Velocity] to increase projectile speed. Also. Primed Bane mods can be replaced as appropriate or exchanged with either [Heavy Caliber], [Primed Shred], or [Amalgam Serration] for the Sprint QOL. [Vile Acceleration] can be replaced with a [Primed Shred] or [Speed Trigger]. Also, Overframe doesn't take into consideration my evolutions, so it undervalues the DPS by Millions less which is entirely incorrect. In the end, this is a very powerful Endurance Steel Path gun. It's a medium 4 forma investment but if you follow this build, you won't need any other weapon. Trust me, bro :D
Evolutions:
1: It opens up the Incarnon mode which is stronger than its primary mode. It fills the charge through headshoots, but the primary mode has a heavy recoil so you need at least one source of Recoil reduction to achieve headshoots more easily. Also, you do not need a full charge to switch to Incarnon mode, so you should stay in Incarnon mode virtually all the time.
2: Void Guidance: It provides +50% Accuracy and -50% Recoil when Aiming. It stacks with Deadhead for 100% Recoil reduction for easier headshoots. If you use [Stabilizer] instead of Terminal Velocity you can get the +20% Fire Rate, but I have tried it and the slow projectile speed makes bullets miss in the mid-long range so it is not worth the trouble.
3: Ready Retaliation: It provides a +100% Reload from an Empty Magazine for 6 seconds. The bonus reload speed affects transformation to Incarnon mode if you time it right. All three-tier evolutions only affect the primary mode and do not affect the Incarnon mode, so it's up to your personal preference.
4: Elemental Excess: + 20% Status Chance and - 10% Critical Chance. The status chance is brought up to 68% and the 10% Critical Chance means 45% of Devouring Attrion functioning.
5: Devouring Attrition: 50% Chance of +2000% Damage on non-critical hits. This is multiplicative damage to base damage bonuses like Serration and 165/120/90 mods. That is partially why I went raw damage mods when I could instead of 60/60 mods. I have seen millions of damage on standard hits, so this weapon kills everything on sight.
Note: For Casual Steel Path simply use [Heavy Caliber] or [Amalgam Serration] instead of Primed Bane of Grinner. For Endurance runs replace Faction Bane mods as appropriate because they will double dip on DOTs for even more damage. [Vile Acceleration] is more DPS normally but [Primed Shred] is better DPS for [Mag] bubbles or [Xata]'s Whisper builds. I am using Deadhead for base damage stacks, so aim at heads to get [Phenmor] going. Also, you do not necessarily need a 100% Armor strip to kill enemies due to the high slash, but if you do use Heat and this build will delete everything.
Alternative builds: I use Gas Slash when using either Larva, Ensnare or a Nourish [Saryn] with Corrosive Dose. Viral Electricity is better for [Xata]'s Whisper or [Mag]'s Magnetize. For Archon Hunts, use Radiation Cold Slash. If you are using Nourish then use Corrosive Slash or if you have 100% Armor Strip with Nourish then use Corrosive Heat. If your using either Eclipse or Roar exchange a base damage mod for more FIre Rate or elemental damage. You could save a forma by using a lower ranked 60/60 mod.
This is Millions of DPS when considering the evolutions and DOTs damage instances. Enjoy :)
Enjoy :3
Here is my Felarx build: https://overframe.gg/build/499713/ Basically, it is just as good but requires more Forma and Primed mods to be as effective as the [Phenmor] Incarnon mode. The positive side to using [Felarx] is that it doesn't need to use the Incarnon mode to be OP, as it stays overpowered in its regular shotgun primary mode.
Here is my Laetum build: https://overframe.gg/build/523766/ It is the most satisfying Incarnon mode out of all the Zariman weapons, I would highly suggest you aim for this one first.
