Not many great things are said about the Azima but I wanted to see for myself. Surely this weapon isn't that bad.
The Azima features a very interesting secondary fire. Ejecting the remaining magazine into a turret that will spin around and shoot bullets in a cross pattern until it runs out of ammo than explodes dealing a bit of blast damage.
The weapon features the same stats for primary and secondary fire modes and overall rather average stats. Low-ish critical chance at only sixteen percent and sixteen percent status chance. The damage is primarily slash but sadly also features impact and puncture.
Throughout my testing, it quickly became apparent that a slash based build simply doesn't have the necessary humph for high-level content so once again an elemental approach is the way to go. Keep in mind to adapt your elemental combo depending on circumstances. Gas is fantastic versus corpus, corrosive is great versus grineer and against infested straight-up heat usually gets the job done.
Overall the Azima is a mediocre secondary weapon with a cool little gimmick. Which is pretty much what I would expect from login weapons. I'd love to see some sort of lock-on mechanic added to the secondary fire so it becomes more usable and less of an ammo waste.
Verdict? Confirmed, Last Pick.
