The battle wilder channels her emotions not into her manifesting ability, but into her combat prowess. While the battle wilder is still capable of and effective at using powers, she also gains improved battle capacity, as well as expanded training in weapons.

Class Features
A Battle Wilder does not gain the Wild Surge, Surge Bond, Surging Euphoria, and Improved Surge Bond class features.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A battle wilder gains proficiency with two additional weapon groups of her choice.
Combat Surge
A battle wilder channels her emotions into a physical boost of energy that strengthens her body.
Basic Combat Surge
A battle wilder can invoke a combat surge in two possible manners. She can invoke a combat surge while manifesting a power or by spending 1 power point as a swift action. In either case, the battle wilder gains a +2 psionic bonus to her Strength for one round after invoking a combat surge.
At 3rd level, the psionic bonus to Strength increases to +4. At 7th level, the battle wilder also gains a +2 psionic bonus to Constitution during a combat surge. At 11th level, the psionic bonus to Constitution increases by +2. At 15th level, the psionic bonus to Strength increases to +6. At 19th level, the psionic bonus to Constitution increases to +6.
Surging Assault
A battle wilder can expend her psionic focus as part of a full attack to gain one additional attack at her highest attack bonus.
Psychic Enervation
Pushing oneself by invoking a combat surge is dangerous. Immediately following each combat surge, a battle wilder may be overcome by the strain of her effort, causing her to take 2 hit points of damage per battle wilder level and become dazed for one round. The chance of suffering psychic enervation is 15%.
This ability replaces Wild Surge.
Toughness
The battle wilder gains the Toughness feat as a bonus feat at 1st level.
This ability replaces Surge Bond.
Combat Euphoria
At 4th level, when a battle wilder uses her combat surge ability, she gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws for a number of rounds equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). If a battle wilder is overcome by psychic enervation following her combat surge, she does not gain the morale bonus for this use of her combat surge ability.
At 12th level, the morale bonus on a battle wilder’s attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws increases to +2. At 20th level, the bonus increases to +3.
This ability replaces Surging Euphoria.
Combat Fortitude
Starting at 5th level, the battle wilder gains a +1 bonus to Fortitude saves as long as she is maintaining psionic focus. Every four levels beyond 5th (9th, 13th, and 17th level), this bonus improves by +1.
Starting at 17th level, whenever the battle wilder is subject to an effect that allows a Fortitude save, the battle wilder receives a second Fortitude save to negate the effect in addition to any save the effect may allow; if the spell or power already allows a Fortitude save to negate, the battle wilder makes a second one, and would need to fail both to be affected.
Physical Overload
A battle wilder of 20th level is able to push herself and greatly increase her combat ability. Once per day, the battle wilder can invoke a combat surge and gain a +8 psionic bonus to both Strength and Constitution for a number of rounds equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). In addition, while under the affects of physical overload, the battle wilder treats her base attack bonus as equal to her battle wilder level, which may grant additional iterative attacks. Invoking a physical overload comes with it a guaranteed psychic enervation that does double the normal effect when the physical overload ends and this psychic enervation cannot be modified by feats or other abilities that would mitigate or otherwise alter it.
This ability replaces Perfect Surge.
