Weapon base Gauss Prime that focuses on making our weapons do more damage since sunder spamming sucks

GAME STYLE

1. Activate your 4th ability once you get into a game, use your Zenurik wellspring or energy pads and start building up the battery.
if you don't want to do this from the start, you can definitely skip charging fully but make sure to have it on and hold shift. Mach [Rush] once in a while.

2. cast Kinetic Plating once you hit 100% redline so you can activate DR and become (near) invincible. (or your subsumed ability buff if you replaced like me)

3. cast 1 cold and 1 heat, or reverse if you have the controls reversed.

4. now get kills as you should. get more ability strength from molt augmented

5.(optional) get a weapon like Torid incarnon that goes really well with blast. or you can get Syam and make it do millions.

ARCHON SHARDS AND ENERGY SUSTAIN:

2 tauforged crimson shards on duration
2 tauforged crimson shards on strength
1 tauforged azure shard on energy max

IMPORTANT: this is not a cast/spammer build and you will not need to spam any ability, so its better to not use [Flow]. we can use an archon shard to get more energy max, alongside with zenurik wellspring ability to get energy when you are lacking on it.

if you dont want to use zenurik, you can use energy siphon for passive energy generation.

MODS BREAKDOWN:

[Growing Power]: Strength for [Thermal Transfer]. Since you will be dealing forced blast damage on any weapon now, this will be on forever as long as you shoot. Replace with corrosive protection if you dont want to spend a forma.

[Power Drift]: Strength. Knockdown resistance per sometimes.

[Umbral Intensify]: More status damage for thermal transfer damage

Primed Continuity: More time to hit redline, just use Mach Rush every 9-10 secs to fill it easily since the battery has a cap on its filling speed.

[Constitution]: More duration for your boosts.

[Fast Deflection]: Better shield recharge.

[Blind Rage]: more strength, can be replaceable with other strength mods if the efficiency is a problem

[Narrow Minded]: more duration + fire rate boost for the 4, and the thermal transfer boost time (same thing with p. continuity.)

Augur Message: MORE duration for buffs, fire-rate (replaceable with [Augur Secrets]).

[Thermal Transfer] the main augment mod i am building this around. gives heat, cold or blast damage when combined, blast having 2x multiplier.

ARCANES

Molt Augmented: 60% ability strength at 250 kills without dying / extracting (replaceable with arcane [Ice Storm])
Arcane Aegis: this arcane is pretty broken with kinetic plating as it constantly causes it to trigger making you literally invincible. only when the sneaky toxin eximus appears, then you can replace
Augur Secrets with rolling guard and kill it quickly.

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

how much better is this build? probably better than sunder spamming as you have more control of things, and will not run out of energy since kinetic plating doesn't generate enough energy to constantly spam.

why not [Archon Vitality]? we are not gonna be spamming sunder so no need for it here. you CAN however use this build for the heat damage from [Thermal Transfer] instead of blast, then that status will be applied twice.

why strength on [Gauss]? only needed for the damage boost from thermal transfer.

can i replace mods? yeah! here's a list of the flexible slots.

FLEXIBLE SLOTS

[Augur Message]: [Rolling Guard], for the toxin damage which can one shot you in SP very easily.

[Constitution]: any duration mod, [Augur Message] can give you shields for each ability cast.

Power Drift: can be replaceable with vigilante pursuit for extra red crit chance (or more ! if you already have them)

SUBSUMES

Roar, nourish, [Xata]'s whisper are replacements. never subsume 1 or 3 out. 2 is always the ability you are subsuming off.
