Take charge with the Saint of Altra. Gauss is fast, deals high damage, and has strong survivability. Movement charges his powerful battery, so never stop moving.

[No Umbra] Formula Fun

This is a [Gauss] build for people who actually like using all of their abilities. We keep range so Thermal Sunder is actually usable for more than battery maintenance (it's a very solid armor-stripping nuke with Redline at 100%), and we don't boost power strength because [Gauss] really doesn't need it. Efficiency lets us spam Thermal Sunder with relative impunity when desired.

Rules of [Gauss]:

  1. Keep Redline and Kinetic Plating active at all times.
  2. Keep your battery topped off as much as possible.
  3. If you're sprinting, you could be using Mach [Rush] instead.

Mod substitutions:

  1. Regular [Continuity] is fine if you don't have Primed.
  2. I like to swap in (Primed) [Flow] instead of [Augur Reach] for reduced energy sorties.
  3. Aura choice is pretty flexible. [Sprint Boost] if you gotta go extra fast.
  4. [Adaptation] instead of [Vitality] is probably a good idea if you have it, I just wanted this build to be relatively accessible.

Arcanes, Aura, and other equipment:

Aura these days is entirely subjective. [Sprint Boost] for more Mach [Rush] speed can be a fun time if you're not chasing optimal damage or whatever. For arcanes, I tend to run Energize and Aegis for general use, but neither should be considered mandatory (Zenurik alone will handle energy needs for most missions). Arcane Phantasm is an interesting gimmick choice for even more speed, though I wouldn't call it practical. [Amalgam Serration] on your primary is highly recommended for, again, more gofast with Mach [Rush]. Redline turns a lot of normally slow weapons into absolute monsters, so give the [Cyanex] a shot!
