Gauss

• Gauss sprints into action, propelling himself forward at supersonic speed toward the aiming reticle and instantly charging his battery by 10%. Tap the ability key to dash forward 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters. Hold down the ability key (default 1 ) to rush forward continuously by expending 1 energy point per 0.8 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 2 meters travelled; while rushing, Gauss can also sustain Mach Rush by holding down the forward movement key instead (default W ). Release the hotkeys for Mach Rush to halt Gauss in his tracks.
  • Distance per energy point drained is affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • Battery charge on cast and dash distance are not affected by Mods.
  • While rushing, Gauss is able to run across large bodies of water, commonly found on the Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis.
  • Mach Rush's speed is affected by Sprint Speed mods and other speed buffs, like Volt's Speed and Wisp's Reservoirs.
• When Gauss dashes or rushes pass enemies within 2 / 3 / ? / 4 meters from him, they suffer a knockdown. If Gauss crashes into a solid obstacle, he stops on impact and generates a powerful kinetic shockwave that expands to a 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 meter radius explosion, inflicting 200 / 400 / 600 / 800 Impact damage and blasting away all enemies within range.
  • Knockdown and explosion radii are affected by Ability Range.
  • Explosion damage is affected by Ability Strength.
• Mach Rush significantly increases Gauss' turning radius when active, reducing his maneuverability.
• Ability Synergy:
  • While Kinetic Plating is active, Mach Rush shockwave inflicts Slash damage and status effect on enemies caught in its explosion radius.
  • Mach Rush energy cost is halved when cast during Redline.

• Gauss shields himself in a barrier of kinetic energy with one swift motion, protecting himself against incoming Impact, Puncture, Slash, Cold, Heat, and Blast damage types, while also becoming immune to stagger and knockdown effects for 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds. While active, Kinetic Plating drains ?% battery power per second and ?% battery power per hit received, to reduce affected damage by a minimum of 14% / 16% / 18% / 20% at low battery, up to a maximum of 70% / 80% / 90% / 100% at full battery. 2% / 3% / 4% / 5% of damage absorbed per hit is converted into extra Energy for Gauss. Kinetic Plating deactivates on duration end or by manually pressing the ability key again (default 2 ).
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Damage reduction scales with battery capacity and is affected by Ability Strength. Maximum damage reduction cannot exceed 100%. Minimum damage reduction cannot exceed 50%.
  • Battery drain per second, battery drain per hit, and energy restore per hit are not affected by Mods.
• Ability Synergy:
  • While Kinetic Plating is active, Mach Rush shockwave inflicts Slash damage and status on enemies caught in its explosion radius.
  • During Redline, Kinetic Plating also grants Gauss a ?% melee damage bonus and 100% chance to stagger enemies on hit.

• Gauss manipulates the kinetic energy in a radius around him, creating a shrinking area of extreme temperatures for a duration. Tap to absorb kinetic energy, charging battery power and creating an area that procs Cold on all enemies within range. Tap again to freeze enemies solid inside the area. Hold to expend kinetic energy, draining battery power and creating an area that procs Heat on all enemies in range. Hold again to ignite enemies within range, dealing increased damage over time.
  • Combining Cold area and Heat area in quick succession will combine the damage types and cause enemies to receive a Blast proc.
    • The order in which the elemental procs are combined changes the direction in which enemies within the ability area are knocked back by the Blast proc. Casting Cold first then Heat will knock enemies outwards, while casting Heat first then Cold will pull enemies in towards the player.
  • When casting both elements, the elemental proc cast second will override and replace the first element already present, e.g. if enemies were affected by the Cold area first, casting Heat proc on them will remove the Cold proc and replace it with Heat.

Ability Synergies

• Thermal Sunder gains bonuses to its status effects when Redline is active and above the redline battery charge:
  • Its Cold proc freezes instantly.
  • The Heat proc deals full damage-over-time against enemies.
  • The Blast proc strips armor based off battery level, up to a maximum of 50% with a full battery charge.

• Gauss overclocks his Electrokinetic Battery for 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds, increasing its capacity and granting himself bonus weapon fire rate, reload speed, holster speed, and melee attack speed, based on his current battery level.
  • Redline introduces a new counter onto the Battery gauge, shown as a percentage value. While the battery level is above the redline limit release, the Redline counter gradually increases from 0% to 100%. The speed of the increase is based on battery level, with the counter decreasing if the battery level drops too low. When the Redline counter reaches 100%, battery drain from abilities will be completely negated.
    • The ability synergy and stat buffs provided by Redline are tied to battery level, NOT the Redline counter.
• While battery power level is above the redline limit release, damaging projectiles of arcing electricity will periodically shoot out from Gauss and home in on nearby enemies. On deactivation, explosive bursts of kinetic energy are released around Gauss.
• When Redline expires, any battery charge below the redline limit is purged. If Gauss has battery charge above the redline limit however, the percentage amount of charge is maintained after Redline's duration ends.
• While the Redline counter is under 100%, Redline will slowly consume battery charge while active.
