Playstyle

Redline hypercarry — keep battery above redline for max fire rate / reload, Kinetic Plating for DR, Thermal Sunder to charge and soft CC. Guns do the delete.

Passive abilities

Battery charge powers everything — Mach Rush and Thermal Sunder fill it, Redline spends above the redline for huge fire rate / reload / casting buffs. Keep battery high for Kinetic Plating DR and Sunder armor strip.

Active abilities

  • 1 Mach Rush — Hyper-sprint knockback that charges battery. Mach Crash leaves a vacuum. Crash into walls for shockwaves.
  • 2 Kinetic Plating — DR vs kinetic / Heat / Cold / Blast and converts hits to energy. Cap DR at full battery.
  • 3 Thermal Sunder — Tap Cold / hold Heat (or invert). Heat stacks scale; Cold detonates and strips at high battery. Thermal Transfer buffs ally elements.
  • 4 Redline — Push past redline for fire rate, attack speed, reload, and casting speed. Battery management is the skill ceiling.
  • Keep Redline. Strength scales Redline weapon buffs.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Redline fire rate / attack speed turns guns into SP shredders under Kinetic Plating.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Redline on the point, shoot under plating DR.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Excellent

    Hypercarry guns delete tiles.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Weak

    Not stealth.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Excellent

    Open-world speed + Redline guns.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Strong

    Redline fire rate helps long-range guns more than most casters.
