Review & Analysis

Volume is a Wind Attacker with an SMG, ranked Tier S and a pillar of the Beginner Team (Story/Campaign). Her biggest value comes from Skill 2 "Drop the Beat": on entering Full Burst and on using a Burst Skill, it reduces the whole team's Burst Skill cooldown, with the reduction scaling up across repeated triggers — letting the team cycle into Full Burst far faster. Her Burst "Turn up the volume!" grants the whole team a Critical Rate boost for a short window. Skill 1 "Freestyle" gives a minor self ATK buff on landing a kill. Her S-tier strength comes from accelerating the team's rotation rather than raw personal damage.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Skill 2 (team-wide Burst cooldown reduction, the source of her S-tier value) → Burst (team Critical Rate buff) → Skill 1 (ATK buff on kill, least important).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst, per KR community): 1/4/1 → 4/7/4 → 7/10/7 → 10/10/10. Why: Skill 2 matters most since it's both CDR and Critical Damage, then Burst, with Skill 1 (self ATK buff) lowest priority.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Both shortens Burst cooldown and stacks Critical Damage with each Burst use, growing stronger in longer fights.
Ultimate grants a squad-wide Critical Rate buff, making it easy to hit the team's crit rate cap.
Skill 1 self-buffs ATK on a kill, giving her real damage value even in a CDR role.

Weaknesses

Skill 2's effect needs multiple Burst activations to reach max value, weaker in short fights.
Although an Attacker, she's usually built like a Support, sometimes conflicting on optimal cube/overload choices.
Competes for the CDR slot with Liter and Dolla — only one of the three fits in a squad at a time.
