Nami Solo

Build and guide

Build it if you enjoy machetes and want a solid Incarnon option. Its biggest strength is its high base Slash damage, which pairs well with its Incarnon form. The real weakness is its low critical chance in its base form.

Unique trait: Incarnon Genesis

It takes an Incarnon Genesis adapter from the Steel Path Circuit, which is where most of its 2026 power comes from.

The Nami Solo is a single cutlass melee weapon that deals primarily Slash damage. It is the single-handed counterpart to the Nami Skyla.

Introduced in Update 13.5, the Nami Solo has seen several adjustments, including an increase in Mastery Rank and base damage in Update 26. It features an innate Madurai polarity.

This weapon can be upgraded with an Incarnon Genesis adapter, significantly enhancing its capabilities and transforming its combat style.

How to get the Nami Solo

  1. Purchase the Nami Solo blueprint from the Market for Credits.
  2. Craft the Nami Solo in the Foundry.
  3. Complete The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman quests.
  4. Unlock The Steel Path.
  5. Earn the Nami Solo Incarnon Genesis from The Steel Path Circuit.
  6. Apply the Incarnon Genesis to the Nami Solo with Cavalero in the Chrysalith.

The Nami Solo has a low critical chance and a moderate status chance in its base form. Its Riven disposition is 1.43, which is high, allowing Rivens to provide substantial stat boosts.

Builds

Given its high base Slash damage and moderate status chance, a hybrid build focusing on both status effects and critical hits is effective, especially when considering its Incarnon form. Prioritize Slash procs to bypass armor and deal direct health damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High base Slash damage.
  • High Riven disposition.
  • Access to an Incarnon Genesis adapter for significant power increase.
  • Jump attack applies an Impact proc, stunning enemies.
  • Innately comes with a Madurai polarity.

Cons

  • Low base critical chance.
  • Requires Mastery Rank 6.
  • Machete weapon class may not appeal to all players.
  • Incarnon Genesis requires Steel Path access.

The Nami Solo, while starting with modest stats, becomes a formidable weapon with its Incarnon Genesis. Its high Slash damage and Riven potential make it a strong contender for players seeking a powerful melee option, especially those who enjoy the machete weapon type. The Incarnon form raise its performance to endgame viability.
