Its pretty clear this'll never be a "real" gun - not able to compete with optimal weapons in either burst or sustained damage. Short of one incredibull syndicate augment it'll stay that way.

However, the slow effect is fascinating. It works appart from cold procs giving you instant slow on anything you point at (and manage to hit with that wonky beam). After wacking some things with it and deciding it'll never funcion like a beam based AR to my satisfaction I started thinking that the slow might be the important part of the weapon. There are some obvious uses, like giving it multishot and puch through to suppress crowds of enemies. It is only somewhat useful there as the slow never reaches a point where it stops targets before killing them; though it does seem to slow their fire rate, and would have some obvious uses for meleeing and infested missions.

So I go out for some further testing. Namely, what does this work on? I realized I hadn't gotten the Jackal sigil, so I did an assasination run on him with the Glaxion for science. Turns out, it slows the Jackal down too. Slightly useful, but mainly in a group. This made me think more about bosses that this would be better against. Tyl Rigor popped to mind, and it worked on him too.

So in short, if you're looking for support ability outside of warframe powers, and don't mind sacraficing potential damage output for it or to help your team mates in a mission, give the Glaxion a look.
