Kinetic Plating on, Redline up, spam Thermal Sunder Heat into Cold at high battery for strip + nuke. Archon Vitality double-dips Heat. Mach Rush tops battery between casts.

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.

• 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 Thermal Sunder + Redline. Archon Vitality strongly recommended. Optional Mach Crash.

• Duration
• Casting Speed
• Range flex

Keep Sunder + Redline + Plating. Flex Mach Rush only if battery is solved another way.

• Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

  Excellent

  Redline Thermal Sunder Heat/Cold strips and nukes dense SP packs.

• Mobile Defense / Excavation

  Excellent

  Sunder the point wave under Kinetic Plating DR.

• Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

  Excellent

  Mach Rush + Sunder clears tiles at Mach speed.

• Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

  Weak

  Loud speed kit — not stealth.

• Open World / Bounties

  Strong

  Open travel is Gauss's fantasy; camps Sunder well.

• Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

  Situational

  Speed helps hunts; Sunder wants packs more than Amps.
