Last Week:Excalibur

(Let me know if the link has any issues, haven’t linked anything on Lemmy before)

Last week had positive reception overall, so this week we’re following up with a fast favorite

This is Volt, a versatile warrior. Volt’s arsenal is powerful and electrifying. Handle with care, Tenno.

PASSIVE Grounded movement generates an electrical charge building up 1000 Damage per meter that is unleashed with the next attack.

1ST ABILITY Shock-Shoot a bolt of lightning at an enemy

2ND ABILITY Speed-Harness electrifying power to grant yourself and allies extra speed

3RD ABILITY Electric Shield-Summon a barrier that empowers projectiles shot through it, can be picked up

4TH ABILITY Discharge-Emit a high powered blast that electrocutes all enemies in a radius, becoming vulnerable

Progenitor Element-Electricity

Subsumed Ability-Shock

Tactical Ability-Speed

Volt is one of the 3 starter warframes alongside Excalibur and next weeks planned frame. His parts if not chosen can be obtained from the Tenno lab in your clan dojo, or bought from Teshin fully built after reaching Typhoon rank in Conclave for 60,000 standing.

Volt received a prime model in 2015, though now vaulted Baro Ki’teer will occasionally bring relics containing Volt Prime parts.

Volt is the first frame to receive 5 augment mods, 2 being Conclave exclusive

Volt has had 3 changes to his drop locations, originally dropping from the J3 Golem fight in the old days before being moved to Survival rewards, to his current resting spot in the clan labs.

It is possible to stack strength high enough that his speed can crash a mission, though not recommended

    Discharge still mostly can, or at least it gets enough range that it’s effectively the same thing. Love me a Volt for ESO. Among the starter frames he’s arguably the best one that remains viable well past the point where the others fall off. He might not be the best frame, but he’s always useful.

      Mag has great scaling potential, in excess of Volt even, due to the Fracturing Crush buff. Then your choice of Magnetized Discharge for a LoS nuke or Counter Pulse for even more objective defense. Wound up liking her as much as Frost, maybe even a little bit more.

      I agree, of almost all the frames you can get early game or as a new player, Volt is really up there in terms of power. Probably not the best way, but I do love building max range just for discharge
