    When doing the second challenge, you can build up the 6x combo and activate incarnon form and just let the enemies kill you. Then revive yourself and repeat. The incarnon timer will reset and you can do this 6 times in a row and then just leave the mission, assuming you have 2 arcanes equipped for additional revives. No need to leave the mission and load in and out of it.

    My first riven in Warframe was for the Sibear on the Sortie-Release, and honestly I've been using this thing in Steel Path non-stop. I've failed to roll any good -impact rolls, but even with Buzzkill to improve its slash weight it was doing a lot of work. With its Incarnon form favoring cold procs and a whopping 40% base CC, it's genuinely pretty insane as a hybrid cold+slash melee as it slows all enemies you successfully bleed preventing any retaliation. ...though I have no idea how many more rolls I need for a good +cc -impact riven, already 300+ rolls in and nothing.

    30,000 cryotic. That’s 300 hundred excavators, or 75 with a booster and event booster weekend. Each Excavator is 100 seconds or 1 minute 40 seconds. If you ditch to new one at 20, to save time then that’s average 1 minute 20 seconds each. That also doesn’t account for down time for when cores don’t drop. At optimal time saving without delays and with all possible boosters that’s 100 minutes ( 1 min 20 sec x 75) minimum, meaning it’s 1 hour 40 minutes at minimum. If you don’t have any boosters that is 6 hours 40 minutes exclusively of excavation. It’s not fun, it’s tedious as hell and that doesn’t account for time loss, player error and getting the magistar first.

    Ran down some tests today after getting it for myself. The +25% crit chance stat is bugged. It applies to the Sibear, but also to pseudo exalted weapons. As such, weapons that traditionally shouldn't crit, actually do crit. Atlas's Landslide goes from 5% crit chance to 30%, Gara's shattered lash goes from 0 to 25%, excal's slash dash from 0 to 25%. And well, as you'd guessed it by now, Khora's Whipclaw goes from 25% base crit chance to 50% base crit chance. Without a crit chance riven, just blood rush, one gladiator mod and normal true steel, you'll see red crits at 5x Combo. Considering the riven dispo of my boy the Sibear, I think it's safe to declare it one of the best possible stat sticks in the entire game.

    One build which wasn't mentioned was perhaps the one this weapon is most in tune with: Finisher builds. Hammers have 12x damage multiplier on frontal finishers (the second highest short of Nikana's 8x2hits) and 24x on back finishers, the highest of all weapons, bar none. Because damage from a finisher completely bypasses armour, you can absolutely just put pure toxin on to get pure viral and benefit from the damage multiplier to flesh (1.5x) and cloned flesh (1.75x) -- those health types which belong to the most commonly finisher'd enemy types, Corpus and Grineer respectively. Best case scenario, you can even use viral procs to multiply said damage further by hitting enemies a couple times to benefit from the weapon's status chance simultaneously if they're especially beefy. This extremely high finisher multiplier also works especially well for Marked for Death builds, since the damage output will be immense.

I grabbed the Sibear and Zylok just because the only Stalker weapon I have ever gotten is the Dread, and I just don't personally care for bows....

The message I'm getting is that this is some kind of troll by DE. Like how if you collect all Korok seeds in Breath of the Wild, you get a literal piece of poop for it, mocked by the developers for being a mindless completionist. This is what I feel the Sibear is: a shameful trophy for those of us who have to have everything even when we know it's not worth the time or effort.

    Like the Hema, it was an experiment how far they can push resource cost of an item before community will backfire. There was never an item with cost as steep as this onwards, instead, they simply make a new resource if they want to delay us on getting our hands on it. What is also funny that 30k Cryo was faster to farm in the past when this weapon came out due to Excavation spawning drills very close to each other so you could keep around 2-3 up at the time, even solo.

    Let’s be honest, when they came up with this incarnon idea some of the devs were probably thinking “do you think we can punk them twice, and get them to throw even more time, forma and materials into this crap weapon? That would be hilarious!” Worked on me - classic example of throwing good money after bad to justify my original mistake. I even farmed and rolled a few rivens for it over the years. After the whole multi-year punking the result is merely “OK”, but it IS superlative in the sense that it is probably now the weapon with the highest cost-to-payoff ratio in the whole game.
