Regulator damage is `1 + 1.5 x (1 + 1.5 x Strength + Peacemaker damage mods + Shooting Gallery buff x Strength)`, so Strength is additive with damage mods.

Running Galvanized Shot (up to 600% at five statuses) is already like carrying 400% Strength, which is why extra Strength mods on the frame add little relative DPS and Precision Intensify (pure ability damage, no Efficiency cost) is often the better pick.

Nourish supplies viral plus the energy multiplier that sustains Peacemaker drain.

Muzzle Flash's roughly 20m non-line-of-sight blind every few kills is the main defense.

Catalyzing Shields drops max shields to 56 and (via the current any-shield-gained bug) gives the full 1.33s gate; going in and out of 4 keeps it refreshed.

You must have an Augur mod on a pistol or Burst Laser for full gating.

Shatter Shield adds 95% damage reduction in lower content.

Duration holds Nourish and Shatter Shield and reduces Peacemaker drain.

Efficiency covers the Peacemaker activation and drain; Seismic Bond on a pet gives a free 30%.

Range is for Muzzle Flash's stun radius and Nourish retaliation; it does not affect how far Regulators shoot.

Strength scales Regulator damage but with sharp diminishing returns.

Umbral Intensify is the Strength, which also feeds Nourish consistency.

Primed Continuity holds Duration.

Augur Reach, Stretch set Muzzle Flash range, with Augur Reach also feeding the gate.

Primed Flow, Equilibrium are the energy base under Nourish.

Catalyzing Shields is the gate lock.

Muzzle Flash is the blind.

Umbral Intensify to Precision Intensify for more raw Peacemaker DPS.

Rolling Guard for extra gate safety.

Mesa's Waltz in the exilus if you want to move while firing.

The exilus is otherwise open.

Pick one.

Subsume over 1 for casual content where Shatter Shield is comfortable, or over 3 for level cap where casting 1 in Peacemaker lets you gate without exiting.

- Nourish is the default: energy multiplier and viral Regulators.

- Roar or Eclipse for a similar flat damage bonus.

- Xata's Whisper for slightly less damage but overguard bonus and bullet-attract bubbles.

- Pillage for a full armour strip (10x versus armour) plus shield regen and status cleanse.

Arcane Velocity for a large fire-rate DPS boost, Arcane Hot Shot for 300% crit chance at stacks.

Arcane Avenger or Molt Augmented as smaller swaps.

Vazarin Protective Sling for a 5s window to stand still and fire without dying.

Regulators want a Corrosive-Heat build since Nourish already supplies viral.

Grimoire with Xata Invocation for passive energy while not in Peacemaker.

The Muzzle Flash blind loop plus the shield gate plus Shatter Shield.

It fails if the blind cannot keep up with incoming fire in a large open room, and to toxin.

Nourish's multiplier plus Primed Flow plus Equilibrium.

Seismic Bond and Grimoire Xata Invocation are backups.

Peacemaker roots you in place, so open arenas with fire from all angles are dangerous without Vazarin.

It has no grouping.

Enemies behind cover need you to reposition.

A low-range max-Strength variant.

A low-range open-world tank variant.

Strong: effortless auto-aim DPS, strong energy economy, good self survival, cheap forma.

Weak: stationary while firing, no grouping, toxin-vulnerable, open arenas are risky.

Players who want to hold one button and watch a cone of the room disappear.

Primed Pistol Gambit plus Primed Target Cracker are crit; Galvanized Shot is damage-per-status; Galvanized Diffusion is multishot; Primed Heated Charge plus Primed Convulsion plus Pistol Pestilence build corrosive and heat.

Secondary Outburst is the highest DPS but needs finisher or primary-kill setup (Crescendo Furax Wraith or Ceramic Dagger).

Secondary Fortifier is the chill pick, generating overguard and shredding eximus overguard fast.

Cascadia Flare is flat base damage.

Mesa-locked.

Peacemaker's aim cone.

Mesa players tuning Peacemaker for armoured Steel Path.
