GAUSS PRIME

Quicksilver takes form. Gauss Prime brooks no talk of defeat.

Gauss is a speed frame: he sprints, slides and closes gaps faster than anything else in the game while Redline overheats his battery for bonus fire rate and melee speed, and Kinetic Plating shrugs off damage the faster he moves. In 2026 Steel Path he also doubles as an armor-stripping AoE nuke, spamming Thermal Sunder (with the Thermal Transfer augment) to freeze then cook entire rooms, so he's for players who want constant motion and fast tile clears rather than a tanky stand-and-shoot frame.

Ability 3Thermal SunderHelminthSiphon 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.Energy50Cold Damage750Heat Damage1500Range12mDuration15s

Ability 4RedlinePush 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.Energy100Duration30sFire Rate+75%Attack Speed+40%Reload/Cast+50%
