OK il just drop this comment here to clarify things. Gauss's passive BATTERY is the bar on your HUD, it goes from 0% to 80% before you activate your 4th, and 0% to 100% after. The NUMBER on your battery when you press your 4 is the REDLINE percentage, wich builds up to 100%. The Armor strip on your 3 is based on your BATTERY that is above 80%, scaling linearly. Meaning at 80% BATTERY you dont strip any armor and at 100% BATTERY you full strip. Your 4 drains your BATTERY constantly so you cannot full strip as you are not at a 100% BATTERY at any point before you get 100% REDLINE, because then your battery stops draining and you will be at 100% BATTERY for the rest of your 4 Having Corrosive projection bypasses this as you need to only strip 82% of their armor and the aura does the rest. Meaning you only need to be at 96,4% of BATTERY to fully strip armor, allowing you to fully strip enemies from the moment you press your 4, not having to wait for REDLINE to build up. Hopefully that makes some sense.

After Devstream 180, this is gonna be interesting to see how it performs after the Blast rework. TLDW; basically blast will add an additional AoE hit based on the blast dmg dealt to the enemy. Now if Gauss is dealing this much Blast damage, imagine how it will be when the new Blast damage comes around.

[@Jean-gf3dj]

And the new arcane as well that gives strength and duration on enemy frozen. Gauss gone be eating good

[@mr.cuttystabby5331]

Gauss will absolutely get nerfed in some manner. If dante isn't allowed to threaten saryn, neither will gauss

[@Jean-gf3dj]

@@mr.cuttystabby5331 no way they don’t tend to nerf older frames in that manner unless it’s a broad sweep like with the final nail in the coffin of cc with the Dante unbound update

[@mr.cuttystabby5331]

@@Jean-gf3dj CC's not dead, you're just bad. Also, if Gauss dominates the meta with blast, he absolutely will get a nerf pass.

[@static4802]

He will technically get buffed with Cold Sunder as well because it will straight up completely freeze enemies at 100% battery and double your critical damage.

[@WarframeFlo]

I love the editing

[@lukasarlovski8995]

Gauss is genuinely impressive, and you seem happier than ever! Appreciate the work.

[@ahmadal-said6387]

I think the new arcane coming with jade that gives str and duration will be huge with this build Also the double crit damage on frozen enemies may increase its potential as well

[@Acronix-i03u]

Kyaii just got him yesterday and I've been looking for the perfect build so thx 💯

[@unquietemu]

Can't wait for that equinox video, super hyped!

[@Metruzanca]

Editing in mod screens is quite nice.

[@krisp-]

I made a very similar build to this! for my melee weapon I opt for falcor/xoris though and build for corrosive+heat. corrosive is just to combine an element with electric so I can have heat by itself, since the explosion from both falcor and xoris force proc electric and hit multiple enemies very easily.

[@daniellastnaim1588]

Me patiently waiting for saryn pt2 🙏, good video as usual though king

I just finished building the meele gauss yesterday and ran my first archon humt with it solo

[@DieterKoert]

@kyaii I think Seismic Bond counts Kinetic Plating as a channeled ability because it can manually be turned off, just like Trinity's Well of Life, Limbo's Stasis, Mag's Magnetize or Nyx's Mind Control. There are some other REALLY WEIRD abilities that can trigger it, since it shares the "Channeled Ability" requirement with Arcane Intention. EDIT: I lied about Mag, it only counts for her Magnetize Hold variant, which is a normal channel...

[@beeco711]

Heat Inherit Cold Sunder is the best way to do Gauss. I am partial to primaries, but melee influence does great. That's a great trick with Koruum.

[@yofolkdem1256]

Cause of the work you put into this vid, I gotta subscribe NOW.

[@HowToChezit]

Bro really taught me math better than my teacher

[@tamashi5937]

And Gauss will only get more powerfull with the status rework now that blast will do twice the damage when at 10 stacks, needing only half of the damage to kill everything around him

[@giggitygooquag]

If you wanna try something with even silier damage numbers try essentially the same build on a status ceramic dagger with using dirgia as an influence proccer and max range on him with mach crash as his grouper

[@yvanmezencev4669]

I've been using this strat with the Prova Vandal who also has forced electric proc on its slam attack, only downside is you can't use the Boreal mod, and since it has innate electric, you build corrosive heat instead of Viral. I'll try the Korrum out :)

[@FiveN9ne]

Just use corrosive heat on prova with 2 green shards on any frame instead of mucking about with Gauss and sunder

[@kadimusbaratheon7352]

Yeah, I'll stick with pressing 3 until the enemies are dead. Thanks.

[@unsyoutube9768]

Fr lol

[@golodniyhistoryck171]

Yeah It's not actually "perfected"... More like "overcomplicated " There's short video on KZbin where guy easily explains how to nuke on gauss Better watch that one if you don't want to waste time on long ass build explanation that does the same things as other nuke gauss builds

[@MissedTheJoke]

Been waiting for the equinox video for 6 months 😩

[@calebvaldez4133]

Build looks sick I’m gonna try it out tomorrow. Why do you run vitality and fiber on your nautilus? I’ve been able to run 0 survivability mods on my sentinels without them going down since they did the rework. You should try it out.

[@cenation7mjc]

I was just searching for a build today

[@ExistedPaper6]

Thought the next vid was gonna be about equinox :( nice vid tho

[@brindogg]

Havent watched video yet but how does thermal sunder get affected when you subsume it coz it cant scale of his battery any more?

[@Sdude123.]

Me sees Gauss. Me happy

[@Aegirknight]

Personal prediction on who 'home girl' is: Octavia

[@talentrippin3535]

Kyaii how would something like Prova Vandle would perform with this setup ?

[@gabrielsalinas4386]

nice concepts aplications.. if the korumn wasnt so unreliable.. heat inherit is ok on priority target or to scale bad abilities such as Hildryn heat pillage, on gauss is just extra steps to kill fodder units btw after the armor changes that are coming it seems like 50% armor reduction just from heat will be more than enough to obliterate the whole game up to level cap 😂

[@MadamApocolips]

run a robo dog as compainion with electric on their weapon and it triggers influence for you Edit: after testing this doesnt work and i have no clue how i got it to trigger before since i wasnt using korumm's special attack

[@fayezhasheem3311]

[@nyhxe]

Dropping in to say that you could now in theory swap out Boreal's Hatred with Melee Elementalist for 90% status damage instead of 30% (assuming the numbers of Elementalist aren't also wrong) I could also be misunderstanding how Elementalist works idk

[@trippytrev23]

We are so back

[@efedursunozpolat3610]

W video as always, hope to see Saryn: Perfected pt. 2 comes out soon, I'm so hyped for it (I know this is not the right video to ask this but what progenitor do you recommend on Kuva Sobek to use with Saryn? Toxin would be the obvious chose if it effected the toxic lash but sadly it doesn't and what do you think about the new augment I find it pretty powerful but want to hear your thots on it too anyways hope you answer it and have a good day/night.)

What shards do you use?

[@loicheidelberger6997]

Hi! Thanks for this interesting video! But there is a BIG problem on your build, the problem is THERMAL TRANSFER , if you have a heat build on your melee, when you cast cold thermal sunder with thermal transfer you get a cold buff on your weapons, so your melee now apply blast and not heat anymore, so you can't NUKE , if you use heat thermal sunder it apply more heat to your melee but now you can't use cold thermal sunder for the nuke because it will apply cold elemental damage again so you are stuck in blast elemental melee.

[@kyaii]

nah, it's my fault for forgetting to talk about transfer but it in fact does not combine if you build heat and viral on Korumn, go try it yourself

[@loicheidelberger6997]

@@kyaii oh my bad, I tested with my prova vandal witch works only with corrosive, I've forget that huge detail :/

How do you watch the video then ask that? You only melee for the buff and heat procs, then sunder.

Seismic bond is not in your Nautilus build?

[@kyaii]

Oops, I must've shown the wrong one 😭

[@oposicaoecontraste]

Why not just use Epitaph who has a forced Cold Proc and you can slap with Cascadia Flare and a good amount of Heat damage? It's way easier compared to needing to set up Melee Influence, spreading procs, maintaining good battery levels and them finally blasting.

[@kyaii]

Because you need to STACK lots of heat dots not just a few of them. Melee also maintains the build and did you see how it needs no setup? Because of Projection?

[@oposicaoecontraste]

@@kyaii Just tested, and yes, you are correct. I was using C. Projection before, but was looking for a way to just spam 3 after heat inherit. Your build is more engaging to play.

Im sick of seeing smite mods in builds. Like i know they are super important to DoT builds, but i just like using roar for these kinda builds. Whish there was a weaker, but all applicable faction mod. Like 1.2x for a normal version and 1.35x for the primed varient. Just let a smite/bane/clense mod applicable to all factions but a weaker version please DE.

[@nicktheninja3166]

Name the mod smite all. Cos thats badass AF

[@kyaii]

then don't use one, it's not that big a deal

[@supermechsbuddyyt7683]

Bro what are u yapping about???

[@macmuffinz1641]

So let me recap : now, instead of just spamming thermal sunder 2 or 3 times, to strip and nuke in a huge aoe and benefit from redline for a whole minute of duration for max comfort, we have to actually hear inherit with an odd melee weapon, get grouping ability, JUST to do the same thing as before AND lose redline duration just to have to recast it twice or even thrice as much ? I don't really see anything perfected here, in fact its just overcomplicating something to gain what ? Inherit and better procs ? When we could already get millions of dmg by just spamming one ability for a larger aoe radius ? Lol.

[@kyaii]

The 2 perfected episodes I've done have been all about taking something to the absolute max. Sure Saryn was a bit more "easy" though iirc I do mention that yea, this isn't as fast as just spamming Sunder but it's absolutely a cool and unique way to play a traditional build that does infact, out damage it aggressively

[@Semaradrid]

@@kyaii Your build is nowhere near perfected, but ok for beginners. Check out my lvl cap arca titron gauss kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpvEXpSJfryajtk You shying away from ability duration gimps your build, no matter how many casts you're stripping with.
