(Incarnon)

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

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

How to get Kunai

Kunai's parts drop across 1 separate reward tables. Skipping all of it costs 175 platinum in the market, or 15,000 credits for the blueprint alone.

Blueprint

Where	Rotation	Chance
Duviri/Endless: Tier 6 (Normal)	—	1.03%

Chances are per reward roll, as the drop tables state them. Relic rows show the chance at each refinement; a relic drops Intact.
