Build it for its Incarnon Genesis form. The base weapon is a massive Cryotic sink with low base stats. Its Incarnon form transforms it into a powerful melee option.
Heavy Attacks grant a flat +50% status chance bonus to all attacks with the Sibear for 4 seconds. Slam attacks release a small ice spike from the ground. It takes an Incarnon Genesis adapter from the Steel Path Circuit, which is where most of its 2026 power comes from.
The Sibear is a large hammer primarily dealing Cold damage. It is notable for its unique heavy attack mechanic that temporarily boosts its status chance.
Historically, the Sibear was infamous for its exorbitant Cryotic cost, requiring 30,000 Cryotic to craft, making it one of the most resource-intensive items in the game.
With the introduction of its Incarnon Genesis, the Sibear gains significant power and utility, transforming it from a niche weapon into a competitive melee option.
How to get the Sibear
- Purchase the Sibear blueprint from the Market for Credits.
- Craft the Sibear in the Foundry using 30,000 Cryotic, 50,000 Alloy Plate, 15,000 Polymer Bundle, 10,000 Rubedo, and a Magistar.
- Complete The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman quests.
- Unlock The Steel Path.
- Earn the Sibear Incarnon Genesis from The Steel Path Circuit.
- Apply the Incarnon Genesis to the Sibear via Cavalero in the Chrysalith.
The Sibear is one of the most resource-intensive weapons to craft, primarily due to its 30,000 Cryotic requirement.
