Holy sh*t! Finally someone preaching the good word of “Shield Recharge Gauss”! I did this a while ago and was surprised by how good it was, I hate having to do nothing but run around and spam 1 for 1/3 of the time to become invulnerable for the other 2/3.
@@happyspacefun3796 just like you. 🤣 Warframe is a very easy game of all you wanna do is base SP, I’m looking to collect a fun roster of Warframes that can go level cap.
I just tested it and it works. With arcane nullifier (to avoid any magbetic procs) its pretty much immortal build. Thanks dude, this build is just awesome
The reason this is working is because Arcane Aegis seems to disable the cap on shield recharge delay, which is normally capped at 80% reduction. Something breaks when your Shield Recharge Delay stat exceeds 100% though, which is achievable through two possible methods in the game: 1. Gauss's Battery filled to 80% (which provides 64% Shield Recharge Delay reduction) his passive provides him with bonuses to his shields and it scales linearly with battery charge % You then need to get the remaining 36% Shield Recharge Delay from another source, most easily done with Fast Deflection ranked to at least Rank 4. These two combined give you over 100% Shield Recharge Delay reduction, which after Arcane Aegis proc's at least once will mean you are constantly regenerating shields with 0 downtime. 2. Fast Deflection + Vigilante Vigor gives a total bonus of 75% Shield Recharge Delay reduction. The Vazarin Skill "Guardian Break" will, when triggered, give a temporary bonus Shield Recharge Delay as well, you need at least Rank 2 to get a large enough bonus to exceed 100% Shield Recharge Delay. As long as Arcane Aegis has been triggered at least once in a mission, it will function the same way it does for Gauss. The 2nd method isn't as useful as it can only temporarily exceed 100% Shield Recharge Delay, but it does allow you to utilise this glitch on ANY frame in the game with Shields, not just Gauss.
@@nox_29 It doesn't ignore the restriction of shield recharge being unable to trigger during a shield gate, but that restriction doesn't matter because the INSTANT your shield gate expires you're regenerating shields again. As the minimum shield gate duration is 0.33 seconds, even if you regenerate 1 point of shields, that gives you another 0.33 second shield gate when that 1 point of shields is lost. There isn't a large enough period of time between the shield gate expiring and you regenerating at least 1 point of shields for enemy damage to reach you, making you immortal to anything that doesn't bypass shields by default like toxic damage.
@@dyspnoe586this is only true if you are ONLY fighting bombards, there will be other faster fire rate enemies In the area. If you want something that only requires 60 iq just use Revenant.
Yeah this totally works. And anyone like me who watches this and thinks "oh no, my Arcane Aegis isn't max" don't worry, mine is only rank 1 and it still works for me.
As one of my go to creators as of late one day I hope to see a nidus build from you. Just recently discovered him think he's fun but can't build him out properly
just tried this, works perfectly. i changed out brief with sprint boost (cause no aura forma) and took the range hit with augur reach instead of stretch.
For anyone new to this build it works Ive been using it since he made it. If you come across any jade eximus units off then immediately or stay out of the beam because they will kill you if not
Id like to add the companion mod Guardian also works really well for shield gating, it restores 100% shields on shield break, and paired with manifold bond itll have no cooldown. For this gauss build specifically you can also use Shield Charger as it gives 60% bonus shield regen for 10s
I use this build but instead of strength I use primed redirection and quick thinking one is for getting aegis easier and you regen the hole shield anyways and a larger shield gate and the other is for getting a chance to survive if I run into electricity or toxin if you still have problems with this build you can just use helminth like gloom and diriga or nautilus for cold procs (verglas with shivering contagion)
You dont need fast deflection in my experience…ive been running this with vigilante vigor only. And if u want to truly make him immortal subsume gloom over his 2 🤫
I didn't know people use black on blue emissive like I do. It's beautiful isn't it? 🥰. Also, been using this build ever since the archon mods came out, abusing it in Cascade. It felt good when people asked me for the build when I revived them while surrounded by level cap enemies. (sorry for the mess below, I'm an obsessive gauss main).
I run a similar build but use fast deflection and primed redirection. Redirection gives aegis more opportunities to proc making the intial setup easier, also you dont need vigilante vigor for this to work on Gauss, since fast deflection and 80% battery is enough
it works with that kind of damage, cause is a rifle burst or damage of not high intensity, if you walk around eximus or you take big dmq of toxic effect u gonna die quick. i have loaded 1 video of gauss tank build (and now i have improved) but u can also see another layer of protection using quick thinking adaptation and hunter adrenaline or rage, if u are interested of course. now with the evolution of than build i can tank 20 juggernauth bahamuth 175 steel path without moving just using the 2 ability. i gonna public as soon as i will have time. thanks for your contents
Strange thing i have noticed with Gauss, when on Zenurik Focus school and redline is starting to charge up. the initial energy cost for mach rush becomes 0 instead of being reduced by 50% so he gets free mach rush on Zenurik after getting past the passive point of his battery
@@Rina_OW test it yourself I can recreate it within 20 secoNDs in mission or at similacrum. Run around a bit to get the passive part of his battery charged first.. free cast his 4. And from then the Mach rushes are free.. Its not just 1 use every now and again. It's literally a static thing once his redline is charging in my experience.. I've tried testing it for a while and still can't figure out what's making it free
@@Rina_OW Yeah nah, hes right, just did it myself. Used the basic ass build shown above with just Accelerated Deflection and Arcane Aegis, had Zenurik on and during Redline Mach Rush is free even when spamming it. Tried with the the 4 Focus schools and they all still had a small cost to them. It can also still be spammed for free when Redline finishes, CORRECTION: Even if you empty your battery, its still free. Just drained it with Thermal Sunder down to zero, and it was still free.
@@cyanide7270 i didn't realize the thing about the battery going to 0 and it still remaining free lol.. Pretty neat bug i think atleast and wanted to share it with peeps
they do not matter, i used this build and it was fine for me. somehow it stopped working tho so i think its maybe a graphics settings issue, ill look around there
Iam new to gauss ,and i appreciate this build . I do understand the shield part with Aegis and the mods BUT were is the nuker part ? I mean with that minus range plus that amount of strength .. for what ? No offence its just i cant play him cuz i dont undestand his purpose and thats frustrating. Call me picky ,but i see nuker in the title 😮
Gauss IS a nuker, the build in this video is irrelevant, it was to show the interaction with shields, I have a video on gauss where I show proper nuking builds on the channel, if you wanna check that out
Didn't know that gauss could be immortal like this 🤩 Oh my god, with good damage build along this, this warframe become monstruously strong 🤯 Thank you for this video!
nah I'd keep it because it gives you infinite energy, rather subsume off his 1 or 3 for roar, your battery you can build with melee attacks as well so you 1 isn't super necessary
I disagree. His 3 is very useful for cc and kpm if you have roar on it and sure if you want to take the fun out of gauss gameplay get rid of his 1 but tbh you can find a million and one other ways to generate energy, take off his 2 and now you have nothing impeding his redline
Absolutely yes, I thought it would just be a nice way to clearly show that you die if no arcane aegis was procced :) but yea, if you create a build out of this, absolutely add rolling guard for the comfort!
It does, but if your redline isn't 100% yet, taking shots from enemies will chip away at your battery when your 2 is active, thats the main reason for this being useful, immunity inbetween the redline immunity
This, also in level cap, your entire battery will be depleted if you get hit like 2-3 times. With this build, it's safe to helminth kinetic plating. You can use it for energy or the knockdown resistance but I'd rather have a roar or Xata on it. Xata shreds overguard and Roar makes furis better.
@@Blueberry_Koi Neither loyal companion nor quick thinking can deal with it at level cap lol quick thinking literally shuts off if any damage would be greater than your energy and health pool combined, it does NOT work at level cap, and damage reduction doesn't do anything at level cap, you could have 99% damage reduction, you would still get one shot, hence shield gating/vazarin/rolling guard/ and ofcoarse THIS strategy, for level cap, you either avoid toxin, or you abuse vazarin, or cleanse with rolling guard, thats it, or just play revenant
@@Blueberry_Koi not really, kinetic plating sudo shuts off with this, and the intention of hunter adrenaline working with it, is a bug, if it worked as intended, hunter adrenaline would shut off as soon as quick thinking proc's, there are some fringe cases where you could abuse this to bypass the shut off, but its a bug and not reliable at all sadly
Because to maximise it's use you have to be at max battery which scales inversely with duration. At any given time it will always take 1/3 of your duration to get max batt.
i don't actually think its arcane aegis, i think arcane aegis causes gauss passive shield recharge delay rate to go uncapped and stay uncapped, I think thats whats happening, aegis like breaks through a barrier
@@lynlawson3862 that would sadly kill it.. taking damage while his 2 is active will reduce the battery charge level and therefore impact his passive shield regen rate/delay. either dont touch his 2 when doing this, or alternatively you'll have to manage getting redline up to 100% first, {when redline is at 100% nothing can take it below} in which case you have about 95% of this builds immortality without anything other than base gauss kit at that point so it really doesn't matter.
@@lynlawson3862 redline is the name of his 4. And yeah ideally cast your 2 at 100% charge for his 4 because even without taking damage it has a battery drain.. that may be small, but enough to impact how quickly you reach 100% Once at 100% charge for his 4, nothing can bring that number lower. So with his 2 active and 100% or more power strength, you can tank all the IPS heat cold/ blast damage enemies throw your way until his 4 runs out. And with the battery staying at 100% you can also spam heat sunders into a cold sunder for bigg damage.. normally heat sunders drain a bit of battery.. but at 100% it'll stay until redline turns off.
In one of the videos you said it works without arcane aegis. That's the issue here. You 100% need arcane aegis to proc at least once. But ya you cleared that up in this video. This is clearly an unintended bug/interaction of Gauss's passive with aegis. I'm guessing that Gauss's passive shield recharge is being over-ridden by aegis until his battery drops.
correct, thats also what I think is happening, and yea looking back i communicated it a bit badly, the intention was to show that once arcane aegis procs once, it never has to proc again, so because the simulacrum kind of "saves" battle state, when I unequipped it while in the same instance, it kept that effect that arcane aegis gave of it breaking through the recharge delay cap, and I tried to do it in a more secretive way to avoid nerfs, but it doesnt seem like DE is interested in this, so it seems safe, but also I wont do a video like that again because I get that the subtlety could get majorly lost between everyone and their accents xD
It's not enough. Even if you slot vigor, fast deflection and even add fortitude, the recharge won't be fast enough. Shield recharge grows in a parabolic arc. That's why there's a "cap" in shield recharge. Which means you can only get close to that cap but never reach it. Gauss shield recharge + aegis is basically reaching that cap with brute force
something I found out after actually trying this, you only need fast deflection. it is slightly dependent on how much weapon fire you are under but I can't think of many instances were you are under fire from more than 20 level 200 heavy gunners.
In my experience and testing this is only true if you are at max battery with redline activated. The vigilante vigor effectively makes it so you only need to reach 80 on the battery. But you're right, most the time you'd want to be charged up to your redline at 100 and don't need the vigilante vigor. The approach with vigilante vigor effectively makes it a lot safer even when you drop below max battery if arcane aegis procs. The real problem with shield gating approach is toxin and magnetic procs. Freeze at a lesser degree is also a problem but something to look into in the future maybe...
Fast deflection alone at 80% battery is enough. Vigor is just a safety pad against demolyst pulses and nullifiers(you won't really stay inside the bubble anyway).
"Only killer for this build is magnetic procs"..... so what youre saying is, bring Wyrm Prime with Negate. Also, theres another fun little tech you can use with Gauss, although im pretty sure its a bug so wont be surprised if it gets patched; If you use the Zenurik focus school (this is specific, doesnt work with the other 4 schools) and you fill your bar then hit Redline, during Redline Mach Rush becomes completely free, AND from there on out, it will REMAIN free. I let Redline run out, and even dropped the battery down to 0 with Thermal Sunder and it was still completely free and spammable, so its not the "1 free ability" thing from the focus school.
It's because of the passive enabling you to use an ability once without using energy. But I think the passive need to be prepped and not on cooldown for Mach Rush to be free right? I've had it plenty of time where it was free and then, I used up my passive using redline and my Mach Rush was expending energy again. Not sure if something changed in the last update though.
@@insurgent4288 If youre referring to the focus skill "Inner Might"? No its not that. Im in the simulacrum as I type this, and I made sure to use it on a kinetic plating cast which I then cancelled, then tested again and its still completely free. Also have 45% efficiency so thats not affecting it either. Its just straight up having Zenurik school selected, building the battery up and hitting Redline, and Mach Rush is now permanently free until you die.
i really like your builds but it doesnt work for me, in Simulacrum it cant survive SP Nox Eximus i tried multyple Times and died every time. Maybe it works for normal missions but it didnt survive my test
I guess you're using Elemental Ward for the lightning element so you can deflect damage? I don't really see any other uses but I haven't watched your other Gauss videos. What I like to do is to simply replace Kinetic Plating. You gave proof that Gauss literally doesn't need Kinetic Plating to survive, in fact it drains battery to give you damage reduction you don't actually need so it's against the shield build. Just replace it imo. Thermal Sunder is such a powerful ability as well. You don't need to run any Strength for Gauss because the point of his whole kit is to reach maximum redline battery for the highest amount possible and at that point Strength is useless. Free Crowd Control and critical damage with the cold one, nuking abilities with heat and the armor strip. You can also just run Overextended and forget about strength entirely unless you really want to run a Strength-based helminth on a frame that doesn't want Strength for some reason.. I just use Dispensary with Equilibrium so you can spam the hell of Thermal Sunder. I also use Mach Rush's augment to make it a grouping ability on par with Larva and Airburst so you don't need to subsume any of them. Yeah it's a little bit clunkier because you can't use it at a distance and you have to hit a wall but once you give up Strength, you basically only need range and you have plenty of flex mod slots. I suggest running 2 Shield Azure archon shards, tauforged. This way you add enough shield to reach 2.4 seconds of shieldgating which helps a lot for those moments in mission where Arcane Aegis doesn't proc. Maybe you just started the mission or you cleared the room so aegis just decayed. In those cases, the 2.4 shield gate duration alongside Brief Respite/Augur mods will keep you alive until the Arcane Aegis proc.
Yes, you forgot to mention the most important detail in your last two videos 😅 Arcane Aegis is a must. Thank you for making another video to clarify this, we appreciate you so much.

Quick Thinking and Hunter Adrenaline. Requires good health regen and high energy pool to be most effective. Chroma makes the best use of this kind of build with heat elemental ward and guardian armor augment for vex armor, as well as arcane battery. Using primed flow you can get 1800+ energy. Nothing new, UnifiedCodex made a vid on it weeks ago
Rolling guard helps a lot when dealing with toxin procs. Also, it’s mainly only light attack melee spammers that have issues with most Toxin procs, outside of Disruption enemy Toxin weps modifier lol. I.E. guns and map awareness can help deal with all regular toxin scenarios too.
Thanks! Cant wait for this to get nerfed. If you guys actually cared about it staying in the game. Maybe don't show the braindead playerbase (especially gauss players) how to break the game. Me on other hand. Ill go to level cap with actual skillful builds and i don't need any youtuber to show me. When this gets nerfed and the degens cry like they always do ill be drinking tears. What a stupid way to play.
"Ill go to level cap with actual skillful builds and i don't need any youtuber to show me." So why you come here? Saryn main moment 😭 "Maybe don't show the braindead playerbase (especially gauss players) how to break the game." oh my god u don't even know the game at all if u think this is gamebreaking, saryn main moment once again...who would've expected... "When this gets nerfed and the degens cry..." its not nerfed yet and you already crying buddy
Well sure it works if u dont get hit with status and u manage to trigger that 3% activation. Ive tanked lvl 280+ by building his 2 and replacing his 4 with pillage (though Pillage isnt a necessity its mainly for armor strip).
considering that this is hard countered in archimedia AND cascade AND circuit (the most important/fun game modes) with magnetic (+ thrax units that have magnetics) procs and in general whole rooms will be stunned just because of active companion making taking damage nonexistent problem in the first place, im not gona sacrifice 2 mod slots and arcane for this. And aganist the argument that you will be using other abilities too, well yeah you will and kill everything before it can damage you maybe except those thrax that are the problem in the first place so i dont see how useful this could be in normal gameplay anywhere when everything is dead before it can shoot you .... so maybe if you want to do lvl 9999 but then i dont think it is reliable enough ... but nice video
archimedia counters it sometimes, cascade does not, and circuit does not, if you are gonna plant the flag at magnetic well thats why I have brief respite on, or take nullifier, you get to counter the counter with your brain, easy

The reason this is working is because Arcane Aegis seems to disable the cap on shield recharge delay, which is normally capped at 80% reduction.
Something breaks when your Shield Recharge Delay stat exceeds 100% though, which is achievable through two possible methods in the game:
1. Gauss's Battery filled to 80% (which provides 64% Shield Recharge Delay reduction) his passive provides him with bonuses to his shields and it scales linearly with battery charge %
You then need to get the remaining 36% Shield Recharge Delay from another source, most easily done with Fast Deflection ranked to at least Rank 4.
These two combined give you over 100% Shield Recharge Delay reduction, which after Arcane Aegis proc's at least once will mean you are constantly regenerating shields with 0 downtime.
2. Fast Deflection + Vigilante Vigor gives a total bonus of 75% Shield Recharge Delay reduction.
The Vazarin Skill "Guardian Break" will, when triggered, give a temporary bonus Shield Recharge Delay as well, you need at least Rank 2 to get a large enough bonus to exceed 100%
Shield Recharge Delay.
As long as Arcane Aegis has been triggered at least once in a mission, it will function the same way it does for Gauss.
The 2nd method isn't as useful as it can only temporarily exceed 100% Shield Recharge Delay, but it does allow you to utilise this glitch on ANY frame in the game with Shields, not just Gauss.
Correct yes, and THATS the part that would get it nerfed if it was to ever get nerfed, I think should just allow this one lol
@@nox_29 It doesn't ignore the restriction of shield recharge being unable to trigger during a shield gate, but that restriction doesn't matter because the INSTANT your shield gate expires you're regenerating shields again.
As the minimum shield gate duration is 0.33 seconds, even if you regenerate 1 point of shields, that gives you another 0.33 second shield gate when that 1 point of shields is lost.
There isn't a large enough period of time between the shield gate expiring and you regenerating at least 1 point of shields for enemy damage to reach you, making you immortal to anything that doesn't bypass shields by default like toxic damage.

nah I'd keep it because it gives you infinite energy, rather subsume off his 1 or 3 for roar, your battery you can build with melee attacks as well so you 1 isn't super necessary
I disagree. His 3 is very useful for cc and kpm if you have roar on it and sure if you want to take the fun out of gauss gameplay get rid of his 1 but tbh you can find a million and one other ways to generate energy, take off his 2 and now you have nothing impeding his redline
@@morning8590 you can only really use it at max redline tho. otherwise it drains your battery which will cause you to die.
Would rolling guard be a bit comfier for those magnetic procs?
Absolutely yes, I thought it would just be a nice way to clearly show that you die if no arcane aegis was procced :) but yea, if you create a build out of this, absolutely add rolling guard for the comfort!
@@morning8590 what about arcane nullifier?
Personally I just love running Arcane nullifier on Gauss with Aegis, never have to worry about Magnetic procs ever again that way
@@abyssphantom6786 random toxic proc goooo!😊
Rolling guard would clear toxin, too, me thinks.
but doesn't kinetic plates already make you invincible tho at 100% redline?
It does, but if your redline isn't 100% yet, taking shots from enemies will chip away at your battery when your 2 is active, thats the main reason for this being useful, immunity inbetween the redline immunity
This, also in level cap, your entire battery will be depleted if you get hit like 2-3 times. With this build, it's safe to helminth kinetic plating. You can use it for energy or the knockdown resistance but I'd rather have a roar or Xata on it. Xata shreds overguard and Roar makes furis better.
Why his battery not going down while not moving? Everytime i'v played gauss, the battery level will drop if I am not moving
Kinetic plating, when it’s on and you get hit it will go down unless your at 100
Yea thats the whole point of this being useful, building redline while not taking chip to battery :)
It's kinetic plating. That's why I subsumed it off
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH still laughing just fyi
the toxin damage next to me: (add quick thinking)
Rolling guard, if you are going just stand still in toxin, thats not a build issue tbh
@@morning8590 level cap toxin damage one shots u, only loyal companion and quick thinking can deal with this
@@morning8590 quick thinking also synergies well with genetic plating with adaptation with also synergies with arcane aegis, no harm
@@Blueberry_Koi Neither loyal companion nor quick thinking can deal with it at level cap lol quick thinking literally shuts off if any damage would be greater than your energy and health pool combined, it does NOT work at level cap, and damage reduction doesn't do anything at level cap, you could have 99% damage reduction, you would still get one shot, hence shield gating/vazarin/rolling guard/ and ofcoarse THIS strategy, for level cap, you either avoid toxin, or you abuse vazarin, or cleanse with rolling guard, thats it, or just play revenant
@@Blueberry_Koi not really, kinetic plating sudo shuts off with this, and the intention of hunter adrenaline working with it, is a bug, if it worked as intended, hunter adrenaline would shut off as soon as quick thinking proc's, there are some fringe cases where you could abuse this to bypass the shut off, but its a bug and not reliable at all sadly
Is there a reason we don't use his 2?
Because to maximise it's use you have to be at max battery which scales inversely with duration. At any given time it will always take 1/3 of your duration to get max batt.
because then you would be investing too much into survivability. Also, his 2 burns your bar too much
@@dragonjo-fy4ki the best way to raise it when you have his 2 on is to melee. That raises the battery but only when his 2 is on
Whys this happen does arcane aegis glitch and constantly refresh?
i don't actually think its arcane aegis, i think arcane aegis causes gauss passive shield recharge delay rate to go uncapped and stay uncapped, I think thats whats happening, aegis like breaks through a barrier
@@morning8590 ah ok so if I use this I cant use his 2? I dont have promed sure footed and it's a bit of a pain getting knocked down
@@lynlawson3862 that would sadly kill it.. taking damage while his 2 is active will reduce the battery charge level and therefore impact his passive shield regen rate/delay. either dont touch his 2 when doing this, or alternatively you'll have to manage getting redline up to 100% first, {when redline is at 100% nothing can take it below} in which case you have about 95% of this builds immortality without anything other than base gauss kit at that point so it really doesn't matter.
@@mekillu05 so get redline up to 100 then I can cast 2? So I can get to 100 without casting 4 can I?
@@lynlawson3862 redline is the name of his 4. And yeah ideally cast your 2 at 100% charge for his 4 because even without taking damage it has a battery drain.. that may be small, but enough to impact how quickly you reach 100%
Once at 100% charge for his 4, nothing can bring that number lower. So with his 2 active and 100% or more power strength, you can tank all the IPS heat cold/ blast damage enemies throw your way until his 4 runs out. And with the battery staying at 100% you can also spam heat sunders into a cold sunder for bigg damage.. normally heat sunders drain a bit of battery.. but at 100% it'll stay until redline turns off.
In one of the videos you said it works without arcane aegis. That's the issue here. You 100% need arcane aegis to proc at least once. But ya you cleared that up in this video.
This is clearly an unintended bug/interaction of Gauss's passive with aegis. I'm guessing that Gauss's passive shield recharge is being over-ridden by aegis until his battery drops.
correct, thats also what I think is happening, and yea looking back i communicated it a bit badly, the intention was to show that once arcane aegis procs once, it never has to proc again, so because the simulacrum kind of "saves" battle state, when I unequipped it while in the same instance, it kept that effect that arcane aegis gave of it breaking through the recharge delay cap, and I tried to do it in a more secretive way to avoid nerfs, but it doesnt seem like DE is interested in this, so it seems safe, but also I wont do a video like that again because I get that the subtlety could get majorly lost between everyone and their accents xD
@@morning8590 and this is y i only use real mission testing
you dont even need aegis at all for gauss to be immortal 🤷🏽♂️
I just don't like how aegis is mandatory for this build. I wonder if activating redline would be a good alternative.
It's not enough. Even if you slot vigor, fast deflection and even add fortitude, the recharge won't be fast enough. Shield recharge grows in a parabolic arc. That's why there's a "cap" in shield recharge. Which means you can only get close to that cap but never reach it. Gauss shield recharge + aegis is basically reaching that cap with brute force
something I found out after actually trying this, you only need fast deflection. it is slightly dependent on how much weapon fire you are under but I can't think of many instances were you are under fire from more than 20 level 200 heavy gunners.
In my experience and testing this is only true if you are at max battery with redline activated. The vigilante vigor effectively makes it so you only need to reach 80 on the battery. But you're right, most the time you'd want to be charged up to your redline at 100 and don't need the vigilante vigor.
The approach with vigilante vigor effectively makes it a lot safer even when you drop below max battery if arcane aegis procs.
The real problem with shield gating approach is toxin and magnetic procs.
Freeze at a lesser degree is also a problem but something to look into in the future maybe...
Fast deflection alone at 80% battery is enough. Vigor is just a safety pad against demolyst pulses and nullifiers(you won't really stay inside the bubble anyway).
Still working?
It is, as soon as it gets nerfed ill make an update video ;)
Bro take it down gate keep it
@@Luca-co3md Gate keeping = Cringe
I never like using aegis since it only has a 3% to activate
"Only killer for this build is magnetic procs"..... so what youre saying is, bring Wyrm Prime with Negate.
Also, theres another fun little tech you can use with Gauss, although im pretty sure its a bug so wont be surprised if it gets patched;
If you use the Zenurik focus school (this is specific, doesnt work with the other 4 schools) and you fill your bar then hit Redline, during Redline Mach Rush becomes completely free, AND from there on out, it will REMAIN free. I let Redline run out, and even dropped the battery down to 0 with Thermal Sunder and it was still completely free and spammable, so its not the "1 free ability" thing from the focus school.
It's because of the passive enabling you to use an ability once without using energy. But I think the passive need to be prepped and not on cooldown for Mach Rush to be free right? I've had it plenty of time where it was free and then, I used up my passive using redline and my Mach Rush was expending energy again. Not sure if something changed in the last update though.
@@insurgent4288 If youre referring to the focus skill "Inner Might"? No its not that. Im in the simulacrum as I type this, and I made sure to use it on a kinetic plating cast which I then cancelled, then tested again and its still completely free. Also have 45% efficiency so thats not affecting it either.
Its just straight up having Zenurik school selected, building the battery up and hitting Redline, and Mach Rush is now permanently free until you die.
@@cyanide7270 alright, that's good to know then, I'll test this myself then, must've been remembering things wrong. Thanks!
i really like your builds but it doesnt work for me, in Simulacrum it cant survive SP Nox Eximus i tried multyple Times and died every time.
Maybe it works for normal missions but it didnt survive my test
Watch this video
Cool Build :D
Look to my rank 0 arcane aegis
Not cool :(
time to work
I guess you're using Elemental Ward for the lightning element so you can deflect damage? I don't really see any other uses but I haven't watched your other Gauss videos.
What I like to do is to simply replace Kinetic Plating. You gave proof that Gauss literally doesn't need Kinetic Plating to survive, in fact it drains battery to give you damage reduction you don't actually need so it's against the shield build. Just replace it imo.
Thermal Sunder is such a powerful ability as well. You don't need to run any Strength for Gauss because the point of his whole kit is to reach maximum redline battery for the highest amount possible and at that point Strength is useless. Free Crowd Control and critical damage with the cold one, nuking abilities with heat and the armor strip.
You can also just run Overextended and forget about strength entirely unless you really want to run a Strength-based helminth on a frame that doesn't want Strength for some reason.. I just use Dispensary with Equilibrium so you can spam the hell of Thermal Sunder. I also use Mach Rush's augment to make it a grouping ability on par with Larva and Airburst so you don't need to subsume any of them. Yeah it's a little bit clunkier because you can't use it at a distance and you have to hit a wall but once you give up Strength, you basically only need range and you have plenty of flex mod slots.
I suggest running 2 Shield Azure archon shards, tauforged. This way you add enough shield to reach 2.4 seconds of shieldgating which helps a lot for those moments in mission where Arcane Aegis doesn't proc. Maybe you just started the mission or you cleared the room so aegis just decayed. In those cases, the 2.4 shield gate duration alongside Brief Respite/Augur mods will keep you alive until the Arcane Aegis proc.
Yes, you forgot to mention the most important detail in your last two videos 😅 Arcane Aegis is a must. Thank you for making another video to clarify this, we appreciate you so much.
he definitely mentioned the fact you need aegis bro...

They've been holding their beer even with a non-aegis build. Thats what Mach rush is for
The thing is people arent talking enough and testing enough.

Whats the build?
you really gonna leave us hanging? What’s the build? What’s the interaction happening?
@@noseriouslyimserious4073Energy Tank.. Works on every frame.. Put both "Drain Energy for lethal damage" mods and Put both "get Energy for health damage" mods on. Tadaaaa.. ull Stay at 2hp
Quick Thinking and Hunter Adrenaline. Requires good health regen and high energy pool to be most effective. Chroma makes the best use of this kind of build with heat elemental ward and guardian armor augment for vex armor, as well as arcane battery. Using primed flow you can get 1800+ energy. Nothing new, UnifiedCodex made a vid on it weeks ago
That was a little niche build like 5 years ago. And it depends on how much damage you actually take you are still very much killable.@@Rina_OW
Zero weakness? Uh, enemies above level 200 will literally kill Gauss within a half of a second with 1 toxin proc.
Yes, but that is true for almost every frame.
Just don't get hit by the toxin proc bro
Tell me a single frame than can survive a lvl 200 enemy toxin proc with no abilities dumbass
@@morning8590 🤣
Rolling guard helps a lot when dealing with toxin procs.
Also, it’s mainly only light attack melee spammers that have issues with most Toxin procs, outside of Disruption enemy Toxin weps modifier lol.
I.E. guns and map awareness can help deal with all regular toxin scenarios too.
Thanks! Cant wait for this to get nerfed. If you guys actually cared about it staying in the game. Maybe don't show the braindead playerbase (especially gauss players) how to break the game. Me on other hand. Ill go to level cap with actual skillful builds and i don't need any youtuber to show me. When this gets nerfed and the degens cry like they always do ill be drinking tears. What a stupid way to play.
"Ill go to level cap with actual skillful builds and i don't need any youtuber to show me." So why you come here? Saryn main moment 😭
"Maybe don't show the braindead playerbase (especially gauss players) how to break the game." oh my god u don't even know the game at all if u think this is gamebreaking, saryn main moment once again...who would've expected...
"When this gets nerfed and the degens cry..." its not nerfed yet and you already crying buddy
Well sure it works if u dont get hit with status and u manage to trigger that 3% activation. Ive tanked lvl 280+ by building his 2 and replacing his 4 with pillage (though Pillage isnt a necessity its mainly for armor strip).
Replacing his 4 is vile
considering that this is hard countered in archimedia AND cascade AND circuit (the most important/fun game modes) with magnetic (+ thrax units that have magnetics) procs and in general whole rooms will be stunned just because of active companion making taking damage nonexistent problem in the first place, im not gona sacrifice 2 mod slots and arcane for this. And aganist the argument that you will be using other abilities too, well yeah you will and kill everything before it can damage you maybe except those thrax that are the problem in the first place so i dont see how useful this could be in normal gameplay anywhere when everything is dead before it can shoot you .... so maybe if you want to do lvl 9999 but then i dont think it is reliable enough ... but nice video
archimedia counters it sometimes, cascade does not, and circuit does not, if you are gonna plant the flag at magnetic well thats why I have brief respite on, or take nullifier, you get to counter the counter with your brain, easy
'immortality' based on gambling?
