(Where it sits)

It is thin on health (99th of 117) and armor (94th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 3 polarities already installed, plus Madurai on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Loadout facts)

Pre-installed polarities: NaramonMaduraiMadurai
Aura slot: Madurai
Progenitor element: Electricity
Role: Damage
Introduced: 16.1

(Passive)

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

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

Volt Prime comes out of Void relics — 16 of them across its 4 parts. It is in the Vault: those relics no longer drop, so the only routes left are a player who already holds them and the occasional unvaulting.

In the Vault — the relics below are not in the current drop tables.

Chances are per reward roll, as the drop tables state them. Relic rows show the chance at each refinement; a relic drops Intact.

Build time: 3 days 12 hours

Build time assumes the 3 components build at the same time in separate foundry slots — 12 hours for the slowest, then 3 days for the frame itself. One slot at a time comes to 4 days 12 hours.

Capacity 55 / 66

The arcanes above are not in these figures — every one of them is conditional or derived from another stat, and the engine refuses to average a trigger.

1 of the 5 shards are not in these figures either: they are conditional on kills, or name a stat this engine does not carry.

Volt’s problem is never damage, it is staying alive long enough to use it. Transient Fortitude and Umbral Intensify carry Shock and Discharge; Primed Continuity keeps Speed running between rooms rather than between corridors.

Stretch is here for Electric Shield, not for Discharge — a shield nobody can stand behind is a wasted cast. Adaptation covers the thin armour the stats above already flag.

Volt Prime ships with one Naramon and two Madurai slots, which this board uses as they come. Everything else is forma: the Umbra slot, three more Naramon, one Vazarin, the exilus, and the aura moved off Madurai onto Naramon. That is a fully built frame, not a first one.
