basically : Volt vs Frost

Stats : same shield, power and health, shield recharge, but Frost has 3X the defence

Access to BP : Volt comes from the only boss that drop neural sensors, so often farmed, on a planet accessible early and with an easy boss, just farming the sensors for all the other stuffs gives you a high chance of getting all Volt BPs, Frost comes from a later system, from a high level boss who can handle an insane amount of bullets

Showoff factor : since Frost is harder to get, and Volt used to be one of the 3 starter characters, Frost definitely wins the Showoff category

Polarities : bouth got a "bar" polarity, Volt got a "V" polarity wich can only handle 2 kind of mods, and will probably be used for continuity (increase duration of skills), Frost got a "D" polarity wich can be used for a wide variety of mods, notably those increasing Shield and Health wich increase your survivability exponentially

Skills : lets forget the shock and freeze, even ice wave too maybe, altough that last one can still come handy, bouth got a shield and a bigass aoe, on the AoE side, Volt instakill all non boss "circuit" base mobs (greneer, corpus) and low grade infected, however it has no effect on bosses / ancients, Frost's AoE is a damage based AoE, wich means it hurt everything, but the damage can be reduced by armor, on the shield side, Frost wins, his shield is 360° radius, slows enemies that pass trough it, and do not affect friendly fire, Volt's is much smaller, and nerf your teammates firepower, even if it adds electric effect, it doesn t compensate, some weapons like the snipetron deal no damage when passing trough the shield

BUT, Volt does have one skill that Frost does not, altough Frost aparently got a 0.05 sprint speed, Volt got the Speed buff, wich comes in handy in many situations, especially during defences, or when soloing, or to ditch teammates that are 2 slow (bad attitude) or keep up with teammates that are going too fast (good attitude)

so,in the end, it all depends on what you are looking for in your warframe
