The Best Okina Incarnon Build In Warframe

Author Dalboyy 18 Nov 2024

New Incarnon weapons have been added to Warframe, and as some of the most powerful arms in the game, it’s always worth trying them out. Of the new Incarnons, the Okina is one of the most interesting, with a unique way of spreading cold status around.

How to build the Okina Incarnon in Warframe

Like any good weapon, you can build your Okina in various ways. This particular dual sai performs beautifully with a good Riven or some Smite mods, but this build is aimed at anybody who doesn’t have the Platinum for all that. Rest assured, anyone can use the Okina.

The core concept here is using Melee Influence to spread status effects around, particularly electricity, which dovetails well with the Okina’s ability to freeze nearby enemies and inflict cold status. Add some viral damage into the mix, as well as a ton of crit, and that’s all you’ll need.

The third and fourth perks are easy choices for this build, while you can opt for Synergist Surety as your second perk, which increases status damage, but this build runs Galvanized Elementalist for a status damage boost. Quickly racking up combos is important to activate your Incarnon, too.

Evolution II: Seeing Red (5 additional combos on targets afflicted by slash)

Evolution III: Orokin Reach (+1 range)

Evolution IV: Alchemy of War (increase status chance and duration)

However, if you want to run an Okina with Riven or Bane mods, you’ll likely prefer Synergist Surety for the extra damage. Nonetheless, expensive mods aren’t necessary.

We’re trying to maximize status chance and status damage with this build so we can spread status effects and status damage with Melee Influence when we proc electricity on enemies. Then, we scale our damage off of Condition Overload to take advantage of the statuses we inflict while we use our combo Incarnon perk to maximize our critical power with Blood Rush.

Arcane: Melee Influence

Aura: Spinning Needle

Exilus: Discipline’s Merit

Mods:

Condition Overload
Blood Rush
Berserker Fury (can swap with Quickening)
Galvanized Elementalist (can swap with Weeping Wounds)
Vicious Frost (can replace with a Smite mod)
Virulent Scourge (can replace with Primed Reach)
Shocking Touch
Galvanized Steel

This is a great general-purpose build that won’t have trouble even in Netracells. However, if you want to push it further with Smite mods or a Riven, switch Galvanized Elementalist to Weeping Wounds, add in Primed Reach, and swap Berserker Fury to Quickening for easier combos. Naturally, you’ll be better off changing your second Incarnon perk to Synergist Surety if you go this route.
