@@beegyoshi1685 No. Min maxing eidolons is only for speedrunners who want to do 2137x3 per night, there are still people who for example just want to get their rank up with the quills or just casual guys who want to just do one tridolon because they are in mood to do so.
Honestly his 2 not giving casting speed is beyond criminal, such a simple synergy and a good way to introduce new players to the value it has on some frames.
i learned that you can backroll to get rid of the buff from a titania gamer on youtube comments so when i play volt i cast speed every single time i see a titania next to me even though i don't need it to make them have to roll backwards again, the racing minigame is the secret end game imo, nothing like racing with randoms while opening relics
Note for those watching this after the release of 1999 update. The shock trooper augment (and similar augments) will no longer mix with existing elements on a gun, just adds separate elemental damage
The passive damage also works with fishing spears. If you can't be bothered to switch between (or can't afford) all 3 PoE spears, Volt works as a stop gap. Very niche tech, still marginally useful
Personally, I prefer rolling guard to adaptation for Volt, and here's why: 1. In some basic testing I did a while ago, adaptation didn't make a big difference against higher level enemies. I was getting shield gated at about the same speed. 2. With an energy efficient build, you don't need to worry about how much damage your shields are taking; capacitance can regen your shields very quickly while stunning almost everything around you, leading to very good survivability. 3. I found that toxin procs killed me far more often than anything else and I didn't have an answer to that problem other than to hide in operator until the effect wears off. This is just my personal opinion, and I hope it helps others find their own build. If you can't decide between adaptation and rolling guard, they both use the same polarity so just experiment and see what works for you! 😁
Hey Kengineer! I absolutely love these vids. Especially the more budget and general purpose builds. I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but Equilibrium is now a quest reward for new players if you'd like to include that in the budget and new player friendly versions. Keep these coming they are just awesome!
I am in love with how thorough you are with the ability interactions and how they affect status priority and effects. As well as describing all the augments and their utility. I don't play warframe anymore but I'm glad to know that good quality information is still available if I want to hop back in.
The transition from Baby Volt to Fashion Volt at the start was so cool, I had to rewind just to look at it again Volt is my darling starter, and I'm very on-and-off with him, but it's been a while since I've last given him some love. I think it's high time I've given your roar build a spin! (Pour one out for the titanias. For speedy fissures, wukong is my one and only for a reason. Ouch my face)
volt is my goat my ride or die since the beggingin since 2014 ong if volt has many fans i am one of them if volt has 1 fan it is me if volt has zero fans i am dead 🗣
You'll have to wait for the Prime Resurgence rotation I think. Personally, I've been stuck with vanilla Volt for a long time before Prime Resurgence got introduced.
You can find his blueprints for pretty darn cheap on warframe market. Got mine alongside some arcanes so I've forgotten what it actually cost, but the number 50 stands out to me for some reason.
There is one thing to mention for volt's 3 - when you're holding 3, energy pads (and similiar effects probably) won't give you energy for some stupid reason
"I'm not going to insult you by showing a build that i'm not even using" and "curse Titanias" got me lol. I am really enjoying your content. Thanks for the effort you put into it.
I was gonna say, I thought Mirage's Eclipse was changed to additive damage? But then I looked at the wiki and the post about how it was reverted. So, in a roundabout way, thanks for letting me know Eclipse is still multiplicative!
Thanks for explaining the Passive. I can finally understand why I thought it was bad, the Passive is simply outdated. It can be used at the beginning but it will stop being useful really fast.
Honestly surprised you didn't mention the Shocking Speed augment at all for Volt's Speed ability, despite mentioning the augments for every other ability. Paired with Archon Stretch, this augment gives a good amount of energy generation, CC due to the electric procs, and it even opens crates as you zoom past them. I run my Volt with this and Nourish for a bunch of passive energy regen, and don't even need Equilibrium because of it. One bizarre interaction that's supposed to occur with Discharge is that you apparently you can cast Shock on enemies under Discharge's effect to "result in an overcharge, creating an area of effect burst emitted from the target". I dunno what this actually does though, I'll need to mess with it some time.
Volt is my 2nd least favorite frame to be paired up with when I join the randos (right behind Limbo). Guy forces his speed on you, making it unreasonably difficult to navigate terrain. Had no idea you could do a back roll to remove it. It's just not something I typically do, so I'd always just throw myself off the map when possible (removes temporary buffs). Appreciate the info.
Man I hope you do one of these for Excalibur. I like the way you break everything down and Im finally starting to take a look at some of my exalted weapons builds.
i mained volt for so long that i know how squishy he is at really high levels that i always spam capacitance for overshields even before the shieldgate update. Thanks to Archon Shards i gave my shock boi huge Armor buffs i can finally face tank the enemies head on lmao
If I remember correctly, meleeing a container doesn't lose your charge anymore. I might be wrong, but last I checked, as long as it's a ground melee and not something like a Slam, Heavy Slam, Heavy ground Attack or anything that actually hits an enemy, you're good
You can shock the shield and it generally needs to be shocked for it to onock down enemies when used as a battering ram. If youre getting knockdowns before that, its probably your bullet jump. The pick up volt shield from the augment for allies prevents you from picking them up. Theres also a useless synergy between his 1 and 4 where enemies explode for piss poor damage if hit with his 1 under the effect of his 4
I pick Volt when WF first dropped on Xbox, didn't realise it was a permanent choice back then. I thought he was very fragile and switched to Rhino ASAP. But after learning to mod him properly, hes still in my top 10 most used frames. (I don't "Main" anything)
I would mention using Shocking Speed with Archon Stretch leading to infinite energy, and it stacks with Lightning Dash to make a passive AOE pinball wizard.
This man cooks! Only very few if any of his videos are bad, the cherry on top is the humility of not padding his videos with a build for content that he has no experience on/dislikes, bravo, you son of a gun, you are the goat.
Animation speed is probably a better descriptor for all the things it does effect yet sounds too technical so I guess they went with "movement" speed which encompasses all things movement related such as melee animations even though in general a player might not consider that.
Didnt know i can backflip out of that speed buff of volts. I have been using speed increases from preadis and shard lately on my builds. That speed increase from volt sometimes is hard to maneuver with at times
in my experience warframes aren't really necessary for eidolon hunting if you have a good voidrig and decently strong operator. just enter voidmode whenever the eidolon does any of the really damaging big attacks. though, i am far from knowledgable about them, that's just what i discovered that works for me
Interestingly enough. I used the Stropha with Volt in the latest EDA and it as some interesting interactions. The Gunblade firing attack seems to count for the Tennokai activation, it also benefits from the shield, as well as the melee arcanes(I think), in my case a max rank Melee Duplicate. While fighting the Demolisher Necramechs, it shred through them in like 15 to 20 seconds(solo damage), even factoring in Nourish viral procs, I feel like it shouldn't have caused as much damage as it did.(And I was running Nourish, just to be clear) So Volt can even act as a great option on arguably the toughest game mode we currently have.
For Future Reference... 15 Seconds is Not "Shredding"... Unless you're talking about *The Fragmented One* or any other Boss on Deimos (Except Lephantis).
you don't show a full range build ? i prefer build with : very high range, high efficiency, and capacitance. (even if the strength is not very high) it is the best for sanctuary ; but i also use it for most content. because the 4th skill scale 4 times with range : it increase the radius (so 2 time the area), and the chaine radius (so 2 time the chaine area. or even 3 time if we care about vertical range)
Third/fourth, IMO, Titania and Portal Nova can cover the same distance much faster. Maybe on some tilesets he can push out Nova, but that mostly depends on the skill of a player
@@bazukata3734but the thing is, volt can do ALL of those things Sure he's not better than titania or wukong at speedruning, but he's still great He's not a better weapons platform than saryn, but shock trooper and electric shield aren't terrible He's not the best at steelpath but he can still pull his weight He's the "invest in him to 90% of all wf content"
Eclipse being used is kind of criminal when volt is already so tanky and roar would be better damage or have nourish for viral to then use shock trooper and a toxin mod on your weapon for corrosive to then free up a mod slot on your weapon too
I run a max speed build (or rather, 3 max speed builds), and I had to subsume electric shield because I outrun it. Hope we get a QoL patch one day. I'd love to further bully enemies by going full battering ram.
Im bored by Roar, so even though it's usually the correct pick when what you want is "simple and effective," I'll mention a few more Helminth options. I really enjoy Wrathful Advance on Volt- it pairs very nicely with Speed. Although, Wrathful Advance pairs very well with a whole load of warframes, so that's hardly innovative. Gyre's subsume ability, Coil Horizon, is a more thematic option, great for grouping enemies to strike with Capacitance Discharge and take advantage of that AoE scaling factor. One thing Volt lacks, and which can greatly improve Discharge's efficiency in high-end missions, is an armor strip. My favorites are Tharros Strike, Ophanim Eyes, and Fear, though Fire Blast and Pillage are good choices too.
Volt main here. I've found that doing a "core build" isn't a good idea. Volt is definitely a frame you build for a specific purpose. I've found trying to round out stats and build for everything ends up getting me running out of energy and getting killed very quickly. So I have 3 builds I switch between for several things. I have a "speed run everything build" and a "kill everything" build. and on all of these I tend to use terrify for survivability along with the one mod this video said wasn't great. I use that with gaurdian to basically shield gate everything on my "speedrun everything build" and for nuking rely on the stun with 4 (which does actually open up enemies to finishers it's just rare and not always active. Sometimes to have to melee.) I do also highly suggest using arca titron with volt. Especially if you mod that maximising the slam capcitance and use abilities to increase the melee speed rather than directly modding it for that. with the right set up and context volt can shred anything. Except bossfights. but I've been with volt from the start and it's hard for me to use anyone else.
I was experimenting with a build using the augment that shocks nearby enemies when you get near them. I wasn't able to make anything all that interesting but the idea is use archon stretch and the augment and you can regenerate a lot of energy that way, Maybe someone else here can find a better way to utilize it.
Really appreciate the in-depth video guide! Instant sub ^^ Do you by chance have a guide for Nova as well? I tried searching for "Nova" on your channel videos but it seems there's none yet.
Came back here because I was wondering about something. If my Kuva Nukor has radiation, magnetic, corrosive, and electric damage all at the same time, how does Shock Trooper affect them? Would the augment buff only affect the electric damage alone?
well recently the shield apperently doesnt have the seperate instance thing prob a bug and might be diffrent between players oh yeah u still cant gain energy from pizzas and energy per sec effects while carrying the shield
I noticed you can’t electricity the shield anymore too, as I just last week returned from a two year break. However, the by default I noticed the shield now HAS the effect that would indicate you applied lighting to it, so it might just automatically add the bonus now?
Hey, could I ask you to do an take about elementalist mods vs faction mods for status procs dps builds? I'm having the feeling that faction mods, despite not liked by many including me, are more worth of sloting on a build because the upfront damage and final multiplier on the status procs than elementalist mods that just affect the procs. Please?
I wonder what a good gun (SP viable) would be to run in conjunction with Volt. I have a Saryn Prime build where alongside Toxic Lash and held Spores, allows my Torid Incarnon to truly shine with an incredible damage boost and synergy with viral and toxin.
@@lookalike4805 Thats true! I'm just starting out on getting SP viable stuff so I'm not really sure what to acquire. I've been having fun wrecking house on Saryn P with Torid Incarnon but she isnt viable for some stuff and i want to expand my toolkit for more tools. AoE weapons are so fun to play with
I love Volt, but his passive is kinda ass. My take for his passive would be similar to Yareli's where if he moves he gains an additional electric damage for his weapons. Gaining 1% electric damage per meter traveled and he starts losing 1% of it every second when he stops moving for 2 seconds. This caps out at 100 and maybe he gains more electric charge when he deals electric damage both from abilities and weapons. Or Screw it, as the original electric warframe maybe his passive makes electric status effect take the refreshing stat of Heat allowing additional electric procs on enemies refresh all the electric dot duration timers. This essentially allow Volt to snowball dot damage on groups of enemies
@TheKengineer Could you do a video about rolling guard I never really understood why someone would want to use it when there other more effective means i.e. defy, aviator, eclispe, some companion mods, and vasca kavat?
@noahedenborg I see where people use it but is it actually useful when there are other means. The status cleanse is useful though but again it's just such a weird mod to use in practice with warframe's movement system thats why I want someone to do a very constructive breakdown of it's uses.
I have a question: I'm a Kullervo main and i was wondering if I put 5 violet archon shards for mele crit dmg (I dont see any better options/ other buffs dont appear to be better ) will it be better to ignore organ shatter on mele and go with primed preasure point and condition overload or are deminishing returns worse on base than critical dmg?
since u have a lot of CC from ur 1 keep organ shatter and PPP CO wont be that useful when playing kullervo but go test both and see which i like using more
Oh good, I actually was looking into playing volt for real after 3k hours. This comment sounds sarcastic but I swear to everything holy it's not I've never actually built into volt
People using Roar, Eclipse, Xata's Whisper yada yada and then there's me: ARCHGUN VOLT. Let's just say I subbed Dispensary in, kept his Speed Shield Discharge (with Capacitance in), and balanced my build around an OK amount of range, some strength, MASSIVE duration and a slight penalty to energy. Then slapped an Archgun (Mausolon, Larkspur etc), and go to town. Why be space ninja when you can be a... space super marine ninja with a big f**king gun I guess?
There's an argument to be made that Volt is the Best Warframe In the Game.... However one should ignore such Arguments and play who they Like. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that transition in the beginning is so sick
I was just thinking of commenting that. Glad i caught it lol
Every time I see you upload a Warframe video I get excited because of how dense the information you provide is, and how well you explain it
Note for those watching this after the release of 1999 update. The shock trooper augment (and similar augments) will no longer mix with existing elements on a gun, just adds separate elemental damage
The passive damage also works with fishing spears. If you can't be bothered to switch between (or can't afford) all 3 PoE spears, Volt works as a stop gap. Very niche tech, still marginally useful
And for some history for anybody who's come across this and doesn't know. People have killed bosses with this tech.
It also lets you completely ignore the electric spears in the vallis, which imo is even more useful.

I've found trying to round out stats and build for everything ends up getting me running out of energy and getting killed very quickly. So I have 3 builds I switch between for several things. I have a "speed run everything build" and a "kill everything" build.
and on all of these I tend to use terrify for survivability along with the one mod this video said wasn't great. I use that with gaurdian to basically shield gate everything on my "speedrun everything build" and for nuking rely on the stun with 4 (which does actually open up enemies to finishers it's just rare and not always active. Sometimes to have to melee.)
I do also highly suggest using arca titron with volt. Especially if you mod that maximising the slam capcitance and use abilities to increase the melee speed rather than directly modding it for that.
with the right set up and context volt can shred anything. Except bossfights. but I've been with volt from the start and it's hard for me to use anyone else.
I was experimenting with a build using the augment that shocks nearby enemies when you get near them. I wasn't able to make anything all that interesting but the idea is use archon stretch and the augment and you can regenerate a lot of energy that way, Maybe someone else here can find a better way to utilize it.
16:53 volt is good for speedrunning profit taker too
My build was insane speed coupled with fast energy regen and spamming the 4 ability as I ran up and down hallways like the flash
Thank you.
Electric boy
Really appreciate the in-depth video guide! Instant sub ^^ Do you by chance have a guide for Nova as well? I tried searching for "Nova" on your channel videos but it seems there's none yet.
Came back here because I was wondering about something. If my Kuva Nukor has radiation, magnetic, corrosive, and electric damage all at the same time, how does Shock Trooper affect them? Would the augment buff only affect the electric damage alone?
Fell on leggo
well recently
the shield apperently doesnt have the seperate instance thing prob a bug and might be diffrent between players
oh yeah u still cant gain energy from pizzas and energy per sec effects while carrying the shield
Can you do mag next?
As a new Tenno that was fascinating and made very little sense 😂
nice builds
I noticed you can’t electricity the shield anymore too, as I just last week returned from a two year break. However, the by default I noticed the shield now HAS the effect that would indicate you applied lighting to it, so it might just automatically add the bonus now?
I need a trinity brake down video
Probably after her rework
Kengineer 👍
How did you change the enemy's colour ? ( they look like someone used Bladestorm )
Enemy highlighting is an accessibility setting. You can search the settings for "highlight" to bring it up and set your preferred colour.
Yesss i love volt
Can we have video about warframe that buff operator (volt, jade, dante, ???)
Hey, could I ask you to do an take about elementalist mods vs faction mods for status procs dps builds?
I'm having the feeling that faction mods, despite not liked by many including me, are more worth of sloting on a build because the upfront damage and final multiplier on the status procs than elementalist mods that just affect the procs.
Please?
well elementalsit mods are like eclipse
a final multiplier and it comes after faction
plus their other stats on their mods and nice to have sometimes
I wonder what a good gun (SP viable) would be to run in conjunction with Volt. I have a Saryn Prime build where alongside Toxic Lash and held Spores, allows my Torid Incarnon to truly shine with an incredible damage boost and synergy with viral and toxin.
Maybe the Tenet Arca Plasmor, or some other super good electric weapon.
Anything that Crits...
Volt has nothing that Benefits from a weapon Specifically dealing Electricity Damage. 👀
@@lookalike4805 Thats true! I'm just starting out on getting SP viable stuff so I'm not really sure what to acquire. I've been having fun wrecking house on Saryn P with Torid Incarnon but she isnt viable for some stuff and i want to expand my toolkit for more tools. AoE weapons are so fun to play with
I love Volt, but his passive is kinda ass. My take for his passive would be similar to Yareli's where if he moves he gains an additional electric damage for his weapons. Gaining 1% electric damage per meter traveled and he starts losing 1% of it every second when he stops moving for 2 seconds. This caps out at 100 and maybe he gains more electric charge when he deals electric damage both from abilities and weapons.
Or Screw it, as the original electric warframe maybe his passive makes electric status effect take the refreshing stat of Heat allowing additional electric procs on enemies refresh all the electric dot duration timers. This essentially allow Volt to snowball dot damage on groups of enemies
@TheKengineer Could you do a video about rolling guard I never really understood why someone would want to use it when there other more effective means i.e. defy, aviator, eclispe, some companion mods, and vasca kavat?
its mainly used when u go so far in a mission where dr wont cut it
plus it cleanses you its nice to have
@noahedenborg I see where people use it but is it actually useful when there are other means. The status cleanse is useful though but again it's just such a weird mod to use in practice with warframe's movement system thats why I want someone to do a very constructive breakdown of it's uses.
I have a question: I'm a Kullervo main and i was wondering if I put 5 violet archon shards for mele crit dmg (I dont see any better options/ other buffs dont appear to be better ) will it be better to ignore organ shatter on mele and go with primed preasure point and condition overload or are deminishing returns worse on base than critical dmg?
since u have a lot of CC from ur 1 keep organ shatter and PPP
CO wont be that useful when playing kullervo
but go test both and see which i like using more
@@noahedenborg4221 ok thanks for the tip
Is the sound kinda weird in this video?
finally
Shock trooper should yield immutable electricity and Speed should be a mote/portal. I'm sick of backflipping Titania in relic missions.
How do you have the enemies glowing red? I need that.
in the option, something like "highlight the enemys" (i have the game in french so don't know the exact English word)
@@paulamblard3836 THank you soooo much
Oh good, I actually was looking into playing volt for real after 3k hours. This comment sounds sarcastic but I swear to everything holy it's not I've never actually built into volt
Is Gyre's submsume ability good on Volt?
u honestly have better grouping options aka cordon from nautilus
mainly cus coil horizon has physics
@@noahedenborg4221 Ty
People using Roar, Eclipse, Xata's Whisper yada yada and then there's me: ARCHGUN VOLT.
Let's just say I subbed Dispensary in, kept his Speed Shield Discharge (with Capacitance in), and balanced my build around an OK amount of range, some strength, MASSIVE duration and a slight penalty to energy.
Then slapped an Archgun (Mausolon, Larkspur etc), and go to town.
Why be space ninja when you can be a... space super marine ninja with a big f**king gun I guess?
I love the guide and the explanations and newbie builds. But i will always choose Mag, sorry.
Nice
So who are you and what have you done with Thekengineer? You may be wondering how I figured you out. It was easy. You recommended eclipse.
I recommend Eclipse, I don't recommend Eclipse. Eternalism.
Volt is definitely in my opinion the best frame in the game better then any other by miles but I’m a gauss main
There's an argument to be made that Volt is the Best Warframe In the Game....
However one should ignore such Arguments and play who they Like. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What!? Aren't starter frames Excalibur, Mag amd Loki? God I feel old now like this joke.
Yeah man, I think that changed with Duviri. I think DE’s thought was that Loki can be a difficult frame for new players that are new to looter RPG’s
@@stephenlonon4605 volt has been the starter for years, loki was gone before the time of the dinosaurs
never go titania. other frame will feel damn slow after that.............
If you read this, swap Augur Reach for Redirection. Double down on that shield pool
