Have you ever wondered what you could do with a living electrical current like Volt, or do you just need a good playstyle suited for killing those pesky Grineer? Well, My murderous friend, This guide is for people like you.

Style 1: Walking Defibrilator
This style makes use of Volt's passive ability Static Discharge as one of it's primary damage dealing factors. It encourages sprinting and ground mobility as opposed to flying around in the air. While you may get hit a lot more than you may be familiar with, it pays off with damage output.

Static Discharge adds 5 Electricity damage every 1 meter travelled. In this style, sliding and sprinting are one of the top priorities, as they build up the charge extremely fast. Every calm moment you get, take the long way and stick to the ground, this will allow your charge to build up. Once the charge has reached either maximum or a level you're happy with, you can start parkouring into battle.

In confrontation, pickout a target that may seem the most troublesome, as all the charge will be dispersed in the next blow. Now, this is where things get tricky, as you only have one shot before loosing all the charge. I recommend getting up close and personal before laying down a quick melee strike.

In the best case scenario, the target will have been killed in the strike. In the worst case scenario, some of their healthy will be chipped off. Because the charge is unleashed in the next blow, it is not recommended to use this playstyle with ranged weapons if your bad at aiming and/or are a spray and prayer.

Style 2: Emperor Palpatine
This style focusses on Volt's Shock ability as a primary source of damage, and works wonders against the Corpus and melee focused enemies. Not so much against Gunners.

What you want to do with this style is to clump your enemies in a nice package, as melee fighters need to get close in order to deal a lot of damage. Once they are close enough, pick out the ones you are sure won't die from the incoming shock, this will leave you with less opponents to clean up after you fire off a shock. After picking out the toughies, build up a good static charge in preparation for the next attack, at least 500.

After gaining the charge needed, reclumping the melee fighters if needed, let the Shock rip. Due to how close they are, the shock will eliminate most, if not all of the hostiles in one clean blow.

As said before, the style does not work against gunners. However, against Corpus, it can be an effective weapon due to it's greater damage against their robotics.

Style 3: Usain Volt
This style is less built for combat and more for getting to extraction as fast as possible. Here, you don't even bother to take out your weapons, as you speed past your opponents faster than someone runs to the toilet after Taco Bell.

This style centers around Volt's speed ability, so just spam the button and keep staying in the air for maximum speed. There isn't much to say here, other than run.

Style 4: Electrical Reinhardt
A tanky playstyle dedicated to protecting your teammates. Here, the Volt deciding to use this style must have a high shield rating, as well as a lot of energy to spare.
