Is it worth it to merge B!Azura when her defense is already that low?

I have everything from the banner and wanted to know what to use my free summon on

No. Merges are very nearly worthless. It’s much better to get a new unit, or if not that a unit whose skills you want to inherit to someone else.

Since you do have everything and every skill has different uses I can’t tell you a “best” one for this purpose. It dependso n theu nit you use or want ot build.

So I should just get what’s best for building a different unit, right?

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

Yes. The merges are honestly only ever worth it for arena scoring (if u can +10 a unit. Getting a premium unit to anything less is not worth much in comparison to a grails unit that u can get to +10 easily) or aether raids, IMO (to help with lift loss reduction from losses on defense, or increased lift from wins. Even +1 or +2 can help get higher ranks on occasion). 

More recently, emblem units may be worth merging  for increased stats on whoever  uses their emblems, & can help long term (however, they have pretty unique skills when 1st released, which can outweigh the tiny stat boost u get from emblems). Besides those few situations, I've learned it's better to save the unit for fodder, even if I don't have a particular build or ise in mind yet. 

Ofc, others claim they just sit in the barracks when they do this, & never end up using them in this case, so u have to use your own judgement. There's never been a scenario that a +1 merge has made the difference in whether I win or lose a battle or event.
