(Incarnon)

An Incarnon Genesis adapter, earned in Duviri's Circuit, gives the Anku a second form. Evolution I comes with the adapter; each one after it is unlocked by its own challenge, and offers a choice that cannot be undone without a new adapter.

  1. EVO I Granted

    Unlock Install the Incarnon Genesis adapter.

    • Incarnon Form

      • Reach 6x Combo and then Heavy Attack to activate Incarnon Form.
      • Incarnon form temporarily increases Range and inflicts guaranteed Slash Status for all attacks after a successful slide attack.

      • +20% Sprint Speed

  4. EVO IV Choose 1 of 3

    • Absolute Dominion

      • Increase Base Status Chance by +20%.

      • Increase Base Critical Chance by +6%.
      • Increase Base Status Chance by +14%.
    • Absolute Valor

      • Increase Base Critical Chance by +12%.

3 of these are a choice you make once. Builds of the Anku show which ones they took. Evolutions are printed, never counted: most are conditional — on a weakpoint hit, with an ability up, for a few seconds — and the engine has no model for a trigger, a chance or a duration.

(Riven disposition)

5 — a stronger disposition means larger riven rolls, and it moves when the community changes how much it uses this weapon.
