[Xata](void damage) blast + firerate + status chance bonus for your weapons.

i played [Gauss] for over 400 hours and i know what im doing.

make sure to see if you can get enough status chance on your weapons, as you are applying way too much strength on this build. you are going to use 2 status shards, 2 duration and one energy max shard.

for melees, always use the 60/60 mods with [Weeping Wounds] to keep everything balanced.

not doing this status chance balance will lower down your damage on influence builds as you might want electricity more than anything else.

why no kinetic plating? its complete garbage.

Disadvantages of kinetic:

cant use it til redline max, which lasts for around 50 sec on over 300 duration.

WHICH makes you not so immune to knockdowns for 50 seconds, while the battery is charging as you do mach [Rush] and running around

the melee buff from it is still replaceable, with no difference in dps, and with nourish, roar, [Xata] being a better buff in many weapon picks

this ability doesnt make you damage immune. tested on all types of game modes, i can say just do aegis+[Fast Deflection]

for toxin its gonna be uhhhh.. nothing really. fuck toxin. but you might have a chance with [Wyrm]+[Sacrifice] or panzer [Martyr Symbiosis]

alright energy and all, but you do NOT need energy on this build, ive been playing for so long, never actually ran into a time where i cannot recast my buffs, just need one energy max shard to get all buffs from start of the game, and kill like 2-3 enemies to get your redline
"[Follow Through] bro" i dont think i ever had a time where an enemy somehow didnt die with a build like this that gives you xata blast, firerate/attack speed

for bosses i use burston/[Laetum].
no need. so swap for [Scyotid] as it helps on survival a bit when enemies just dont want to run into the corridor (or [Akarius] for pocket nuke)

melee? [Praedos], always.

primary optional, but [Torid] goes funny or [Aeolak](underrated pick with this), or literally any weapon ever that struggles with damage but you really wanna make it do damage.

knockdown immunity gone? psf. no psf? use [Sure Footed] + [Fortitude] (replace [Augur Secrets] and psf)
