Is Volt Prime worth it?

[shye]

Tennos,

So I've been looking for Volt Prime chassis and blueprint for nearly 2 weeks now. I really like this Warframe, but the problem is that I'm getting bored of farming it as I can't seem to find any relic that has these 2 items. So I've considered whether to trade my plats for the parts, but I only have 51 plats So my questions are-

Is it worth trading my plats for these 2?

If it is, is 51 plats enough for these parts?

Your help will be greatly appreciated 😊

Volt can be fun. Volt Prime has an extremely large energy pool potential, so that you can regularly Shock-stun enemies, buff you and your team with Speed, and throw down electric shields for protection and extra damage.

I run two builds, a Strength build with the Shock augment so I can buff my teammates with an assload of electrical damage/use Speed and gain a tremendous movement/melee speed buff.

The other build is focused on efficiency and duration, for Electric Shield, including the augment. It can be pretty fun to move around with a riot shield type situation and have the damage your shield soaks up turn into your damage.


The possible problem with buying Volt Prime parts right now is that he's currently vaulted, meaning relics containing him are unavailable to farm. Any relics that hold his parts, as well as the parts themselves, that are in anybody's inventory is still there, meaning there's a limited supply of them in the world. That means scarcity, and that means possibly higher prices. But the parts weren't super rare, none of them were the rarest in their relics. 51 platinum for the chassis and blueprint? Maybe, if you find smoeone nice enough to do that. Whether it's worth it or not is up to you, if you like stunning enemies with Electricity, laying down cover with Electric Shield, going fast and meleeing fast with Speed, and even more crowd control with Discharge.

not sure if 50 can buy it or not.

the normal volt is pretty much just as good.
it will be unvaulted someday.
I generally just let the primes come as they will, I don't seek too many. If it isnt your absolute favorite frame or weapon, its not worth a lot of trouble.

I like him but I also got him for free so take what I say with a grain of salt. I use him against corpus mostly and on low level its just easy to sit there and mash 1 and watch everything die. On higher difficultulties its pretty much all about the speedboost. Its insane. It makes shorter missions like captures go by in no time and makes attack speed incredible (which is why he is used as a melee frame) and he makes a pretty good specter because the specter spams speed boost which is nice. Hes not my go to frame though, I prefer loki for glass cannon melee, Inaros/valk for survival, and the typical defense tropes (frost, vauban, gara) for defense missions. But hes rarely ever bad.

You can check the warframe market for prices but 51 plat sounds incredibly cheap for a prime set,depending on the frame that can go between 100-400 plat. Though most frames are closer to 100-200 plat range in my experience. A vaulted frame is usually worth a bit more then an availible frame. The rarer pieces of a vaulted frame might go between 50-75+ plat a piece.

Trying to farm for the relics? Lol yeah, good job :U

not like the game has a clear way to tell you when a relic/Prime set is vaulted.
