Gauss is a very flexible frame. For survivability you have passive/operator/kinetic plating, and so for mods I would only recommend [Rolling Guard] if you feel like you really need it. Kinetic plating maxes at 100% ability strength and is the only ability that really wants strength so there's not much reason to mod it other than helminth/low level nuke. Balance the rest of the stats however you like.

Notes

• The polarities for this build are different from usual so you may prefer this on a second gauss or make some compromises.

• The subsumed ability for this build is intended to be a buff that doesn't require being spammed (if you pick something to spam you may want to drop energy conversion for efficiency).

• Augur secrets can be swapped for efficiency/duration/flow if you prefer.

• Roar can be replaced with any other subsumable ability that works with the stats.

• Aura, exilus, and arcanes are up to user (you might find growing power relevant but will have to forma for it).
