Gauss Battery Drain

[Russian Doggo]

Which stat affects the rate at which his Battery "passive" drains? Or is it destined to drain so quickly that I need to press 1 every two seconds to keep it topped off?

The only thing that effects his battery drain is his 4. Otherwise you can use the cold mode from your 3 or 1 to charge it up or both at the same time. For faster charge consider natrual talent so you dont get "stuned" when you start his 4 for as long and can spam freeze faster.

Moving charges the battery by 1% per 1.875 meters according to the wiki. Reviving people also help charge it. Mach Rush and the Cold Thermal Sunder charges it by 10%, plus the mentioned 1% per ~2m while holding Mach Rush. The Heat Thermal Sunder drains it by 10%. Kinetic Plating drains the battery by 1.28% per second and 1-10% per instance of damage taken.

When Redline unlocks the battery, the battery cap, which by standard is 80%, is unlocked to the full 100%. Staying above the line, within 81-100%, will fill that shown % number up to 100. When it hits 100%, Redline stops actively draining the Battery, but when it ends it will empty the Battery by the number % shown.

The Redline % shown scales inversely to your Duration stat. Apparently Redline cannot cap out earlier than 2/3rds of the ability's duration. So having a lower duration caps it out quicker so that Redline doesn't keep the battery draining.

I'd say something like "gee if only there were a wiki" but ♥♥♥♥ it, spoon feeding to get it over with.

Actually, Kinetic Plating also drains the battery passively. Might be hard to notice since moving will charge it faster than it drain.

It only really drains if you get hit with your 2 on its not really a problem at all since you should be using your 1 and 3 for the cold wave all the time anyway to power up your red line do note that the fire version of your 3 lowers battery unless your at 100% redline or something.

Yes you are destined to hit 1 and run into stuff every few seconds to keep it topped off.

I appreciate the long response (that didn't answer my question) as well as the "spoon feeding" comment. My question was not How do I charge the battery, the question was is there a stat that makes it drain slower or not?

Thanks.

Not a stat that I'm aware of, just a flat drain that kicks in either due to damage with kinetic plating on or not moving for a set period of time without using an ability.
