incarnon [Boltor] is still pretty divisive, everyones favorite content creator seems to have a different opinions on the matter. to make it quick, both are good but the prime is slightly better, but you wont really see any difference until way long into endurance.

i tried a build that goes for slash procs from natural ips and status, i swapped out elementals for unranked viral 60/60s, and replaced [Hunter Munitions] with [Fanged Fusillade]. its worse, with [Hunter Munitions] you are getting between 2 and 4 slash procs on average, and with fusillade you are getting around 2 or 3, you also deal less damage because you dont have primed cryo.

evolutions are crimson overture, the channeled abilities thing on the other one is really dumb because its really finicky, swift deliverance, faster boolet means sooner damage means more dead enemies and less leading targets, and survivors edge because you still get to 100% crit and the status is nice.

what people go off of is this shitty website that has yet to include incarnon evolutions for some reason, they see that telos has a bigger number and say that its better, and on here it is, the telos incarnon has slightly better dps. what people fail to consider is that the prime can [Reach] 100% crit chance thanks to evolutions. getting 100% crit chance is one of the most important things you can strive for when you have a weapon, because considerably more things rely on crits than you would think. without a crit you cant get a slash proc through [Hunter Munitions], critical damage means literally nothing, and headshots deal significantly less damage. since the prime can now get reliable crits, and can take advantage of everything that uses crits to effect damage, it becomes much more powerful than people would lead you to believe.

if you dont belive me, or think im pulling shit out of my ass, here are the calculations for the prime, and here are the calculations for the telos, which take incarnon evolutions into account

ninjase's build is shit btw. you dont need [Stabilizer], recoil isnt an issue and you are just outright losing damage by not using [Vigilante Supplies]. you dont need extra fire rate, you just burn through incarnon meter faster. no bane, i shouldnt have to explain why thats bad. and they use [Rime Rounds] over primed cryo, assumedly because they arent using survivors edge, like an asshat. dont use rapid reinforcement, swift deliverance is just better. you should not be using this thing for corpus, you have a [Torid] for that, dont try to brute force a square peg into a round hole.
