Azima needs a buff

Back when Daily Tributes were first introduced, the Azima was the first weapon rewarded in this new system. At 100 days, which wasn't much of a commitment, it was okay for its stats to be average and its mechanic to not be so powerful, but now that you can choose there is no reason to pick the Azima over Zenith's great flexibility and infinite punch-through, or the Zenistar's ring of destruction (which is basically superior to the Azima's current mechanic in every way) and there is still the Sigma & Octantis fun throw attack that opens for finishers.

As it stands, Azima's stats are underwhelming and the mini turret is basically useless because it misses most of its shots.

I propose making Azima's disc more akin to an actual turret, having it only shoot when there are enemies in sight as well as actually aiming at them; OR pulling enemies into the disc (while still keeping the shooting), which would synergize very well with Zentih and Zenistar as well as make it actually able to hit enemies.

Additionally I think it also deserves better base stats so it's does better on higher level content like its siblings. Giving it higher status chance could really help it against armored enemies.

Edit: Another thing that could improve its alt-fire is to have a way to recover ammo faster, like an innate ammo mutation or scavenger effect, and to make it deploy faster

I’ve thrown enough forma on it to put the primed crit mods on it for a hybrid build. It’s still very lackluster when compared to other secondaries.

I personally believe it is better than the Zenith's primary fire. I have a riven for mine that makes it better, but without, I find the great fire rate to make it actually better. That's why I say I think it is better.

It would be great if the little disk was actually straight up just a turret, and only fired at enemies if there were any around. It should never waste any ammo at all and tbh it should probably actually fire out more ammo than you put in to fire it, perhaps 50% more or something.

Sorry, but anybody that takes a riven into account when comparing weapons I just can’t take seriously.

I'm saying my zenith is better than the azima BECAUSE of the riven. Without it, I belive azima is better, and that's why I don't think it needs a stat buff.

Also, if a weapon has a really good disposition, I would consider it potentially better because it has a greater possible damage increase which could actually make it better. Its like you saying "I don't think that zaw build is good because it uses primed reach and maiming strike and I dont have them so it isnt valid even though tons of other people would"

So you just said that you don’t think rivens affect which weapon is better than another only to then Say rivens definitely affect what weapons can be better than others. Again, not taking you seriously.

There are weapons that are better than other at base, however rivens can be used to make "bad" weapons good. Its a pretty simple concept. Azima > Zenith. With a zenith riven, Azima < Zenith.

Yeah, but rivens are a massive variable when it comes to comparing weapons. So they shouldn’t be brought up when doing so.

They are a big part of how something is modded, so of course they should be considered. Far fewer people would use weapons like Lanka if they didn't have rivens.

Lanka really doesn’t need a riven. And no, rivens should not be taken into account when comparing weapons. I literally just told you that.

I love the video 🥰

I think it's a great idea, It would be great if you only shoot at the enemies and have better ammo economy since using the turret mode is to throw the charger to the ground to use it.
What I look for in this gun is its turret mechanics, something similar to what we seek with the zenistar with its disk mechanic.
