God I hate the misconception that you need a goddamn Azuredge to get top damage. It's completely wrong.
If you want a guaranteed spot at getting top 6 in eye damage then sure Azuredge is essentially the way to go. It's strong and very accurate.
But for overall top damage? You could EASILY find a galil with matching or higher RPM than the Azuredge which is essentially what you'd want to have for getting top damage.
The tentacles that give the most point (the 6 damage ones) are capped at 6 damage. No gun will ever do more damage than 6 to them due to brass capping it there to stop a ug from being exploited.
Therefore if you have a gun that does 6 damage and also has a higher RPM than the Azuredge then you have a better kraken gun, simple as that.
I personally have experimented with a hydra galil which currently is broken and is not gaining the extra % damage against mobs with 5k or more health. And it does 6 damage to tentacles but only 19 to eyes. Due to my aim though I am still able to consistently hit the eye's 95% of the time with a gun that has -30% accuracy. The galil also has 407 RPM which compared to the Azuredges 390 smth easily outclasses it. If you actually looked at your guns or took some time to compare / do the maths then you'd quickly find that the only thing that makes the azuredge shine is it's ability to hit the eyes with ease and nothing more. The Azuredge is a solid gun, there's no denying it but it's definately not the best for kraken and y'all shitters should stop making that your excuse.
Also my suggestion for making kraken fun / less grindy is to give him his full arsenal at the start of the fight and then just apply a flat health decrease across both him and his tents.
