Atomos incarnon evolution 4 challenge: how do you complete it?

[(PSN)Guyannas]

It says you have to kill enemies with 4 or more active status effects, but this seems impossible to me.  The atomos has only base fire damage, which means at most it can apply 2 status effects from elemental damage.

Am I missing something here?  It seems impossible but clearly people have done it.  Am I just reading the description wrong?

I have viral and heat on Atmos, so 2 done, I just brought different weapons with other elements and just spammed, I found putting the Atmos into incarnon form blew up a bigger area and it helped to do the challenge a bit quicker.

My Sentinel had cold and gas and melee had toxin, so it made it easy to complete.

Secondary encumber, citrine, voruna, etc. lots of status methods out there

[(PSN)Guyannas]

I see.  I'll go try out some of these suggestions.  Thank you.

I'm looking at Voruna's second ability that applies 5 status effects at random.  That seems the most convenient so I'll try that first.

Answers have already been given, but I personally found Citrine and the Secondary Encumber Arcane was great. Though, incidentally that was set up I was already running, and I didn't even check the Evolution requirements and unlocked it within a minute. 

Also, does help to make sure the enemies are actually tough enough too, so they don't die too fast. So if thats an issue then make sure to try Steel Path (they will still die fast, but slow enough to unlock the Evolution). 

Good luck either way.

duel tox is a secdory weapon yes?

use lavos with his Credo.  Status on status on status.

i built heat blast corrosive, with panzer and use lavos did his 2 and 3 with no elements. and did it in eso.

Doesn't work.

I took a Braton and left it unmodded except for status duration, primed enemies with it, and finished them off with the Atomos when they had all three physical procs

[Mr.SpookSpook]

Atomos is not the only thing that can apply status effects...

You have warframe abilities, primary weapons, melees, companions, etc...

Oh, and teammates. 3 of them...

Yeah it's really easy you just quick switch from the incarnon form and gain really fast the procs

Could also use lokis damage decoy augment. Cast on enemy it applies the random statues, aim at that enemy and kill.

Also sentinel wepons like cryotra, verglas, taxon, helstrum even vulklok mod for status and try squeeze in different elements than you have on secondary or for secondary use different compared to sentinel wep and kill.
