Does anyone have a good generalist Volt Prime build? I would appreciate it if I could look at an up-to-date build. All I find on the internet are really specialized builds for ESO or Eidolon hunting or SP nuke with Discharge, but I couldn’t find a “general use” build that’s not 2-3 years old. Thank you!
This is my general purpose Volt build. It can handle anything, even Archons, but it won’t excel at ESO due to low Range.
Feel free to replace Transistor Shield with Rolling Guard if you need more survivability. I have it there because Brief Respite works as a cheap alternative and I like the extra damage Transistor Shield provides.
Shock has been replaced by Tharros Strike for healing and defence strip. Alternatively, you can use Nourish to buff your weapons with Viral and to get Energy regen buff. Both work very well with Volt. Also, if you use Archon Stretch and Shocking Speed with Nourish, you’ll end up generating massive amounts of Energy and won’t ever have to worry about it.
The Arcanes are Arcane Avenger for extra Critical Chance and Arcane Energize for Tharros Strike build or Molt Efficiency (+36% Duration) for Nourish build.
It has 5 Azure Archon Shards adjusted for Armor. This gives Volt over 1000 Armor. This, paired with the Umbral mods gives you 800-1000HP as a fallback if something goes wrong and to prevent Toxic from oneshotting you.
Remember to use Crit focused weapons because Electric Shield doubles your weapons Critical Damage.
Amazing! Thank you so much!!
I normally check out overframe when I’m looking for new builds, It’s where I found this general use discharge build that I’ve been using for great crowd control. It was updated a few months back so it’s still relatively up to date.

It might not be exactly what you’re looking for but hopefully it helps.
3ya this, overdated. Augment mod: Capacitance and arcane molt efficiency grants CC and extra shield.
Archon shards will depend on play style. Aggressive, peaceful, strategic…
