Azima- styled weapon concepts Lumus and Sol

[Iceheart125]

So, i had a dream last night, thinking of the Azima, and how radically different it looks and seems to feel compared to the other Tenno weapons, and my mind came up with some new secondaries, and elements. Uncreative, perhaps. but i liked them, and i thought others might.

ELEMENTS: SOLAR AND LUNAR

Solar Damage- on proc, a bright flash of light that blinds enemies in a 8m radius, opening them to finishers for a short time.

Lunar Damage- on proc, a shockwave that induces the sleep effect in a 5m radius for a short time. 

These elements would have about the same weaknesses and resistances as blast damage, excelling not against enemies for the damage, but the utility.

They would NOT combine with other elements.

ELEMENT MISC.

Sentients would adapt to these elemental effects 2x faster than other elements, but adapting one element costs the sentient 'gates' on their health, instead of four resistances, a sentient fighter resisting both Solar and Lunar damage cannot adapt to any other elements. 

(If we HAD Orokin enemies past the drone, perhaps they could have altered values, but.)

 Or, solar damage combines on proc all equipped base  elemental damage procs at x% power and effectiveness (1 is 100%, 4 is 25% each) effect  on proc, and lunar does the same for physical damage, at y% (1 is 100%, 3 is 33.3%)- both were in the dream, but.. eh, i like the top better.

Similar to a Bolto in form and shape, this pistol is black and silver, longer and sleeker.

Ummm... If these are meant to be counterparts to the Azima, shouldn't they function... You know, like the Azima?

So basically syndicate-less weapons...cool i guess...I mean honestly, i'd probably only use them for the procs they give

8/10

Oh and seriously 1 and 3 meters in this game is literally nothing buff those up

Or just have them work like the Azima.

I'm going based off appearance, not function. And the elements wouldn't be unique to these two guns. Those aren't syndicate procs, those are bullet procs. 1 and 3 meters aren't much in a radial burst, but firing into a crowded hallway, a hail of procs could pretty well shut a lot of enemies down. I'll go in-game and look at distances in a few hours, but yeah, perhaps 5 and 8 meters might be better.

They're not based off of it's secondary fire trait, but appearance- pretty much all nonprime tenno weapons are silver and wood, then there's this bright and shiny white blue! I might try to make rough paint drawings of them appearance wise, and maybe secondary fire traits that aren't carbon copies.

I can name plenty that are other colors and designs. Latron, Lex, Akzani, Soma, Aksomati, Dual Raza, Panthera, Imperator, Rubico, Castanas, Talons, etc.

[Iceheart125]

ill put some more thought into them, and edit this tomorrow with some more details. The azima seems new to me because it looks a lot more prime than a lot of the others, there's a distinct difference between the styling of it and say, the Panthera. I'll try to figure out what it is I see, and try to emphasize it.

Aaand already thinking on the rifle versions.

 

Thinkin' the Moon one would be a two shot rifle or sommat.

[Haraswift]

Midnight: A sleek, beautiful, two barreled, break action rifle meant for accuracy.

Two shots, uses the Moon Proc (And has very high status to proc it with, too.) Reasonably damaging, autoprocs on headshot.
