Warframe | Gauss: Nuking PERFECTED | Steel Path | 2024

[@Juhheli]

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.

[@codesymphony]

you had me at triple dip

[@krisp-xyz]

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.

[@SubSaibot]

THANK You cuz i main falcor but didnt wanna make this polearm thingy never heard before

[@HowToChezit]

Bro really taught me math better than my teacher

[@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...

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.

[@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

[@trippytrev23]

We are so back

[@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

[@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 :/

[@appol2584]

Now with more experience with gauss, I can see some major disadvantages this has compared to just a normal sunder build. Building for sunder allows you to go full into ability range, with 280% range giving a 33.6m nuke, which is quite a bit bigger than the 20m from influence. Sunder nuking also ramps up in damage exponentially. A good sunder build can kill any units below level 1000 in base sp with three casts (two casts of heat, one cast of cold) Normal sunder builds don't use a melee so you can use praedos for more movement speed. Plus this build subsumes roar onto his 1. If you really want that extra damage from roar, normal sunder builds can also replace kinetic plating with roar and opting for shield gating/arcane aegis for survivability. The biggest downside imo is definitely the range reduction. I appreciate the attempt at something new, but I don't think this is better.

[@hermesaliascarreno8822]

[@Zukiedo]

​​​@@cornelmironb8421 No and yes, same with Falcor's charged recall explosion, Prova Vandal's slam, etc. They'll all work for activating melee influence, but the problem is that all of these attacks have electricity on them, which would combine with the heat to make radiation, unless you build for magnetic or corrosive with the heat instead of viral.

[@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

[@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 😂

[@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?

[@L1lN1nj4z]

Can melee elementalist replace Boreals contempt? Are they doing the same thing? Are they additive to each other? For those who dont know the mods: Melee Elementalist : +90% status damage, +60% heavy wind up Boreal Contempt : +60(30 according to wiki)% damage from status, 90% melee damage.

[@RodrigoGomes-zh9fd]

the whole idea for this build was to use korum to apply the heat enabling you to use cold alone for the strip, i heard this build is now kinda dead because of some changes in armor stripping, now the redline number needs to actually go to 82%

[@muffinssupreme84]

so why do you need thermal transfer augment in this build?

apologies if im stupid and just missed it, but why is 183% strength specifically required for thermal transfer?

To remove armor and strip it

[@kdog5003]

Maybe I didnt watch the video right but I cannot figure out how you're actually meant to use this, do you use cold sunder and then attack with korumm when it gets melee influence? other way around and you spam cold sunder? something else? he did say you'd use heat sunder 1% of the time im lost asf

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?

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
