^same poster, sorry for double post but another thing is volts new pasive is actually kind of great for him because it means that using speed gives him a direct damage buff.

another way to think of it: speed allows volt to not only close the gap on enemies to allow for more effective melee combat, but also speeds up melee so much that he can wing a greatsword like its a dagger.

for players who prefer melee, and chose volt for that reason (he provides an alternative to gunplay, according to DE) that passive means that not only is he closing the gap fast enough to make melee viable, hes swinging faster which makes heavier weapons much more viable, and his pasive makes them hit harder than normal.

if you dont prefer melee, the passive seems to count with other weapons too, so it isnt less effective necessarily, but it does make volt a much stronger melee frame which is awesome
