Umbral Volt Speed 1st Config

Edits:
11/09/2021 - Realized that I wasn't reaching the full potential of [Volt] and his speed, removed Augur Strength for more speed from Armored Agility, added Coaction Drift instead of Umbral Vitality losing some strength and survivability but adding more speed.
11/09/2021 - Realized that Empower is just a strength boost for his 2nd ability Speed multiplier, which isn't much of an increase at all, better subsume abilities would be Nezhas Fire Walker, Saryns Molt and Helminths Infested Mobility. Altho Nezhas Fire Walker has the highest duration out of the three you can not increase the move speed bonus it gives, thus it's the slowest out of the three options, but it provides damage and a status cleanse. [Saryn] Molt also provides a status cleanse, the duration is the lowest out of the three but it gives the highest move speed increase out of the three because it multiples the speed while Infested Mobility increases the speed. Infested Mobility has higher duration than Molt and they have the same high energy cost but it's slower than Molt. So TLDR Molt is the fastest.
12/09/2021 - Added a 4th configuration to [Volt] for the Plague Star event, him and [Nova] are core in this game mode in order to achieve 6min 30sec speed runs, what an amazing warframe.

This build is a the 1st part of my 4 series of configurations for the same warframe.

Honestly this particular build is more of a gymic build, testing how fast you can go with [Volt] but [Gauss] will always outrun you... Still with this build you can speedrun any capture mission so there's that, just take care, the speed you get from this build is...too fast. It's not recommended by speedrunners since it will result you in not being able to control your warframe properly in closed corridors.

[Volt] is an amazing warframe that is needed in many things such as Eidolon hunting, Elite [Sanctuary] Onslaught farming and Speed running missions.

If he ever gets unvaulted again be sure to grab him, or if you got some spare plat and you're thinking of which warframe to start playing/maining, this might just be your guy.

Helminth: ~~Empower. Press 1 then 2 and you'll be the god of speed. Roar doesn't boost the speed of your 2nd ability so that's a waste of Helminth, Eclipse works only on weapons so another waste. Empower is the way to go. With this amount of ability efficiency Empower will cost 50 energy and Speed 39. Enough for you with 300 energy max to use this combo 3 times, and that's without replenishing your energy with Zenurik/Arcane Energize. I'm keeping the 3rd shield ability cuz of our high duration in the build and I'm keeping the 4th aoe dmg ability cuz it scales well off of our builds high strength and duration, only downside is very low range so make sure to pull the mobs close with the Zenurik stealth pull before using your 4th if needed.~~

For this build you're basically running infite duration, strength and movement speed mods so you can spam your 2nd ability to speed run across the whole map.

Use Arcane Energize and Zenurik school for some energy gain.

Arcane Phantasm is there for more move speed, tho you have to block to gain it so just run around with your melee equiped.

There are also other sources of movement speed from Primary/Melee weapons and mods so if you want to go even further beyond I suggest you look up some! That is if you wish to [Sacrifice] potentially good weapons and builds for the sake of speed...

This build was made for a clan mate that wanted to make a second [Volt] in order to run him for different purposes. He invested an Umbral forma already so I made these configurations in mind of his already invested Formas/Polarities.

You can make [Volt] work without investing an Umbral forma, all you have to do is drop [Umbral Vitality], you don't need this tankiness since your main goal is speed.

If you want you can invest an Aura forma so that you can play around with other Auras for different builds.

Here are the links to my other configurations that share the same polarity slots as this one:

When I have time I will make an endless steel path [Volt] build that would most likely play around his 3rd ability to set up multiple shields to sit inside and camp. That build will have a lot of ability duration and it will share the same polarities as the current ones. Until then I will use other warframes for steel path farming.
