(Incarnon)

An Incarnon Genesis adapter, earned in Duviri's Circuit, gives the Cestra 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

      • Critical Chance increases with uninterrupted shots fired.
  2. EVO II Choose 1 of 2

    Unlock Complete a solo mission with this weapon equipped

    • Steadfast Grit

      • Increase Base Damage by +10.
      • On Shield/Overguard break: x3 Critical Damage for 6s.
    • Fortress Salvo

      • Increase Base Damage by +10.
      • With Armor Over 450: +80% Multishot.
  3. EVO III Choose 1 of 3

    • Rapid Reinforcement

      • +50% Reload Speed.
    • Slayer's Nerve

      • On Hit: +6% Accuracy and -6% Weapon Recoil for 6s. Stacks up to 10x.
    • Swift Deliverance

      • +50% Projectile Speed.
  4. EVO IV Choose 1 of 3

    Unlock Kill 30 enemies without reloading

    • Survivor's Edge

      • Increase Base Critical Chance by +18%.
    • Deathtrap Trigger

      • Increase Base Critical Damage Multiplier by +2x.
    • Wiseman's Regard

      • Increase Base Status Chance by 30% of current Critical Chance, up to 40%.

3 of these are a choice you make once. Builds of the Cestra 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.
