Avalanche is primarily used to strip armor. After comparing all of the other abilities that do this, we have created this build to utilize what Avalanche does better than other options. Due to stat restrictions, this build will only be subsuming Empower. Other options work but they change the general playstyle too much to justify shoving them into this build guide.

Ability strength is balanced to be at or past 250% with [Growing Power] and Empower activated. Although this limits the usefulness against status immune enemies, it saves us another mod slot that we need to balance out the other stats. You can drop the rank of [Augur Secrets] to 3 and still be at 250 or you can drop it to rank 4 and drop [Power Drift] to rank 3 to have 249% ability strength. This will allow you to strip as much armor as possible on an enemy while still keeping their Health Type damage bonuses.

Range and Duration are balanced to make Avalanche feel better to use in most content.

[Natural Talent] gives you better casting time on Avalanche. It can be replaced with a survivability mod like [Rolling Guard] or even [Vitality] but it requires you to move the mods around a bit. You can even use any of his augments for better QoL.

Arcane Velocity is run primarily because of the [Kuva Nukor] synergy but you can replace it with any other arcane that increases your damage. You can even run something like Arcane Resistance or Arcane Deflection if the enemies are putting out a lot of those procs.
