Azima, Zenistar or Zenith

[Jlucu4ko]

I couldn't find any up-to-date information on this issue. Can you tell me what would be better to choose so as not to screw up and why?

1. Zenith 2. Zenistar 3. Azima

Zenith is my favorite. Status gun with auto-fire while Alt-fire sends a disk that marks enemies with gun's Energy color (or warframe's energy color?) through walls and gains big CC boost and has infinite Punch Through until weapon is reloaded.

Azima... I want to like it but perfomance is very poor alone after Sorties. Zenistar can be needs good Combo Multiplier because the disk's lifespan is determined by Combo Counter but the disk can be controlled with Ivara which can turn it into brutal flaming disk

Zenith can kill stuff through the entire map as long as there isn't a "complete lack of anything" space between it. Someone called me a cheater once because of it.
There's a meme farm strat with zenistar I can't remember, and there's a good bug with it if you use the Chroma deluxe skin sword with it.
Azima sucks

Zenistar is currently very fun and effective with Tennokai, Naramon and Melee Influence. It's what I would personally recommend, I often use it with Vauban.

Azima used to be crazy good with ammo efficiency but its disc lifetime got capped because of afk farm builds and now it just sucks.

Zenith has infinite punch through sure but you can see enemies through walls only up to 20m so using this feature effectively is actually quite hard + its damage is really low. It's the most popular choice but I have always thought that it's the worst choice.

At one point Zenistar was the best, then they changed(/nerfed) it and Azima became the best, then Azima got nerfed and it was a tie between Zenith and Zenistar, then Tennokai and Melee Influence got added to the game and it became Zenistar again.

You'll get them all eventually anyway so don't worry about too hard but I agree with zenith then zenistar then azima

[Spartykins]

zenith has some niche applications in content like the profit taker boss where you can cheese a phase the boss has that would otherwise require moving around a bunch

[Douchebag Extraordinaire]

Zenistar used to be insane before it got nerfed, especially when using the disc side by side with other weapons, now it's just good if you can get tennokai to proc reliably.

The others are just mediocre against the top end stuff, just like most of the other weapons in the game.
