Voltia Build for The First Descendant

Next, let us take a look at an optimized Voltia Build for The First Descendant. You will most likely use Voltia in the Void Vessel Operation missions, where a lot of the shielded enemies appear. These are also weak to Chill. Therefore, we set up the weapon with chill elemental damage and a few extra modules that increase the efficiency of the beam damage.

Here is all the info you need to build a powerful Voltia:

Weapon Cores

Voltia Weapon Cores The First Descendant

Weapon Cores juice up your damage quite tremendously. However, especially the later-level Weapon Cores are difficult to get. So start with whatever weapon cores you have available. Weapon Cores drop in the Void Erosion Purge endgame activity.

Higher level Weapon Cores drop in the higher level Void Erosion Purge levels in The First Descendant. However, you can gradually work towards the highest level. I recommend trying to get to level six as soon as possible, since it won’t require to clear many stages and will already increase the power of your weapon tremendously.

Best Weapon Cores for the Voltia:

  • Free Augmentation Icon TFD Chill ATK (Free Augmentation)
  • Firepower Augmentation Icon TFDFirearm ATK (Firepower Augmentation)
  • Attribute Augmentation Icon TFDChill ATK (Attribute Augmentation)
  • Tactical Augmentation icon tfdFire Rate (Tactical Augmentation)

Voltia Lore Info

The results of the 24th attempt by the Albion Deslio Armory to create at combat beam rifle. The ABR-24 “Voltia” is a next-generation infantry firearm that incorporates the technology used in Bunny’s voltage-acceleration suit into a beam rifle.

Unlike typical beam rifles, this weapon discharges high-powered electrical energy, and as its name suggests, has a lot to do with Bunny. Contrary to Deslin’s joke that it was given Bunny’s surname simply because it felt like holding and firing a Bunny, there are a lot of speculations among the armory’s engineers that there must be quite a story behind it.

According to the most plausible rumor, the source technology used to develop this firearm and Bunny’s suit was secured thanks to the sacrifices of Bunny’s parents, Cayden and Ember Voltia, and it is generally assumed that the firearm was given the official name “Voltia” to honor their achievements.
