(Where it sits)
Gauss has no extreme in its base stats — every one of them sits in the middle of the roster, so what it does comes from its abilities rather than its numbers.
It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Passive)
Moving generates an electrical current that fills Gauss' battery. Shields recharge up to _% faster while the Recharge Delay is up to _% shorter, based on the battery level.
(Abilities)
-
01 Mach Rush 15 energy
Burst into a hyper-sprint bowling over enemies and charging the battery. Crashing into solid objects generates a powerful shockwave. Hold to rush continuously.
Augment: Mach Crash
-
02 Kinetic Plating 50 energy
Generate armor plating that converts a portion of absorbed Kinetic Damage (Physical, Heat, Cold, and Blast) into Energy. Also protects Gauss from being staggered or knocked down. Damage Resistance is relative to the battery level.
-
03 Thermal Sunder 50 energy Subsumable
Siphon kinetic energy from the area, charging the battery and inflicting Cold Status on nearby enemies. Hold reverses the process, draining the battery and inflicting Heat Status on nearby enemies.
Augment: Thermal Transfer
-
04 Redline 100 energy
Push Gauss' battery beyond the redline, supercharging his Abilities and setting Fire Rate, Attack Speed, Reload Speed, and Casting Speed into overdrive. When past the redline, bolts of arcing electricity dance periodically from Gauss, exploding en masse when the ability is deactivated.
Costs are base figures, before efficiency.
How to get Gauss
Gauss's parts drop across 3 separate reward tables. Skipping all of it costs 325 platinum in the market, or 30,000 credits for the blueprint alone.
Chassis
| Where | Rotation | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Sedna/Kappa (Disruption) | C | 7.84% |
Neuroptics
| Where | Rotation | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Sedna/Kappa (Disruption) | C | 7.84% |
Systems
| Where | Rotation | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Sedna/Kappa (Disruption) | C | 7.84% |
Chances are per reward roll, as the drop tables state them. Relic rows show the chance at each refinement; a relic drops Intact.
How to craft Gauss
- Credits, all in

- Build time
- 3 days 12 hours
- Rush, all in
- 125 p
- Or buy outright
- 325 p
Build time assumes the 3 components build at the same time in separate foundry slots — 12 hours for the slowest, then 3 days for the frame itself. One slot at a time comes to 4 days 12 hours.
