Playstyle

Mach Crash vacuums packs into Thermal Sunder or gun cones. Redline still on. You are a bowling ball that also nukes.

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 RushHyper-sprint knockback that charges battery. Mach Crash leaves a vacuum. Crash into walls for shockwaves.
  • 2 Kinetic PlatingDR vs kinetic / Heat / Cold / Blast and converts hits to energy. Cap DR at full battery.
  • 3 Thermal SunderTap Cold / hold Heat (or invert). Heat stacks scale; Cold detonates and strips at high battery. Thermal Transfer buffs ally elements.
  • 4 RedlinePush past redline for fire rate, attack speed, reload, and casting speed. Battery management is the skill ceiling.
  • Augment: Mach Crash on Mach Rush.
