Just so you know, weapon performance is usually pretty obvious to most veterans by now. It's a straight up numbers game. Base damage, crit chance/critdmg, status, attack speed, STANCE (for melees) e.g. forced slash procs/animation speed, Unique weapon gimmicks. People are usually able to accurately estimate weapon performance using datamined stats of new weapons even before release (for instance estimating the performance of Primed versions versus the originals). (assuming no unique mechanics). Bo Incarnon has NOTHING in particular that stands out in any of these categories. It has mediocre stats, no unique gimmick, and staves just have bad stances. Now let's compare it to some of the "S tier" weapons, Kronen Prime -> Tonfa stances are insanely fast, with multiple forced slash procs. For this reason, just about every Tonfa is "A tier" or better. Glaive Prime - Unique mechanic of glaives, 1 shotting everything within like 15m, more like AOE weapon than melee Praedos - Great base stats and unique mechanic of extra parkour speed to finish missions faster (and yes, another tonfa).

Ok I'll bite by feeding you (a troll). We've "heard" (aka we Think or we Know) that Incarnon Bo is trash tier. You're trying to argue that its 'better than we've heard" i.e. better than trash tier. OK, let's define that as "A Tier or better". There are 20 melee weapons in "S Tier". There are 60 melee weapons in "A Tier". If a weapon is not even in the top 80 Melee weapons, it's pretty safe to say its Trash at that point. Now, go take any of the weapons in "A Tier", find a Youtube video of performance in Steel Path or Simulacrum, go make your own video of Incarnon Bo and compare them. IF Incarnon Bo outperforms all of the weapons in "B tier" then we can say "it's better than we heard". But since you provided no such proof, your wall of text is just meaningless conjecture.

Your wall of text is meaningless, demonstrate its damage in a video of basic Steel Path or Simulacrum (Exo Gokstad officer level 150+). I'm betting the time to kill things is far worse than "meta" melees. Glaive Prime, Kronen Prime and so on. There are already decently accurate tier lists (as far as one can make a tier list in Warframe) https://overframe.gg/tier-list/melee-weapons/ which generally do a pretty good job of reflecting the "effectiveness" of weapons as they are community curated (aka voted). Base Bo Prime is in "B tier", sure the incarnon may have marginally more damage but it's not gonna climb all the way to "S Tier" so there's a ton of just better melee weapons.
