ABILITIES

Gauss Prime

PASSIVE Moving generates an electrical current that fills Gauss' battery. Shields recharge up to 120% faster while the Recharge Delay is up to 80% shorter, based on the battery level.

1

Mach Rush

Mach Rush

Burst into a hyper-sprint bowling over enemies and charging the battery. Crashing into solid objects generates a powerful shockwave. Hold to rush continuously.

2

Kinetic Plating

Kinetic Plating

Generate armor plating that converts a portion of absorbed Kinetic Damage (Physical, Heat, Cold, and Blast) into Energy. Also protects Gauss from being staggered or knocked down. Damage Resistance is relative to the battery level.

3

Thermal Sunder

Thermal Sunder

Siphon kinetic energy from the area, charging the battery and inflicting Cold Status on nearby enemies. Hold reverses the process, draining the battery and inflicting Heat Status.

4

Redline

Redline

Push Gauss' battery beyond the redline, supercharging his Abilities and setting Fire Rate, Attack Speed, Reload Speed, and Casting Speed into overdrive. When past the redline, bolts of arcing electricity dance periodically from Gauss, exploding en masse when the ability is deactivated.

CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Keep Redline up for the fire-rate, reload and holster-speed buffs, and subsume Energized Munitions so you never reload. Point an area weapon at the room.

How it works

Max Duration for the longest Redline uptime.

Fast Deflection plus Arcane Aegis is the passive-gate immortality loop (as The Compression Blast).

Thermal Transfer adds weapon blast after a heat-cold Sunder.

Helminth

Energized Munitions over 3 for infinite ammo on the platform.

Weapon synergy

Slow, hard-hitting area weapons: Akarius Prime, Tenet Envoy, Kuva Zarr.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strong: strong weapon buffs, no reloading, fast, cheap, immortal via the loop.

Weak: toxin-vulnerable, does nothing itself, bug- dependent survival.

Who runs this

Players who want Gauss purely as a fire-rate-and-ammo platform for a heavy area weapon.
