Can someone please direct me to the best / easiest to understand Incarnate Tutorial...if there is one? Thanks!

There isn't a tutorial as such for Incarnates (that I'm aware of).

However, you can talk to Mender Ramiel in Ouroboros to get some basic info
about Incarnates. He is *also* the contact for the missions that will open your
Alpha slot.

You can also unlock the Alpha slot (and the others) by running the iTrials
(BAF, Lambda and Keyes).

Finally, asking questions on the forums or poking around on Paragon Wiki will
also provide you with plenty of information about Incarnates as well.

Thank you!

I've unlocked the alpha slot but my team sped through the mission so I missed lots of the dialouge...Im not sure what Im supposed to put in there....or if there are options, what would be best for my archtype (blaster).

I almost always put the damage one in for my blasters. However, depending on your build/playstyle the endurance one or the recharge one could work as well.

Well, there are new Alpha options coming "soon" with Issue 21 Special Update, so you might want to wait to see what they release before you commit.

For Alphas, I ask with each build, "where do I lack the most?" Say it's my illusion/storm controller: That answer is Endurance, so I slot Alpha with Cardiac Core to give me the most boost, with the right side-effects to really raise the bar with him in combat.

You can preview the specs for each slotting before you create it (rightclick on the power in the Powers tree and you can get detailed info on what each one gives for benefit). The way I build my toons, I max out damage output while giving me endurance breathing room, so Cardiac is a natural choice. YMMV, but the two Alphas I hear most commonly used are Damage and Endurance.

Not doubting, but just curious: where and when did we hear of this? Any details?
