Volt

==Appearance==
Volt is a hero unlocked by completing Blastech Barrage on Hard Mode, and costs 400 coins in the shop. Volt zaps enemies with chain, and has the appearance of an electrified lamp. 
	
*Does Chain Damage, being able to target multiple enemies at once.
**Said Chain Damage allows Volt to attack enemies even far outside its Range.
*Can work decently as early game as early levels are fairly cost-efficient.
*Has an ability to create a Volt Point at max level, which allows Volt to gain extra Range.
*Fast attack rate that allows, in combination with the chain, for great crowd control.
*Volt Points cannot get stunned.	
*Later levels are expensive.
*Enemies need to be decently close to each other in order to be chained and each enemy chained decreases Volt's damage.
*Volt Points have a global limit of 5.
*Low placement limit compared to towers that serve similar purposes, like Hot Dog Frank.
*Locked behind Blastech Barrage on Hard Mode.

==Strategy==
* Volt is a decent option for handling large groups of enemies.
** Usually, Hot Dog Frank is a better option.
* Volt Points can increase the effective range of all Volts, not just the player who placed it.
** Volt Points must be in range of a Volt to be utilized.
==Trivia==
*Volt's heads are constantly staring at you wherever you go.
*Volt's name was originally Nerjy.
*There is a picture of a Blastech Bomb logo below Volt.
**This likely means that, story-wise, Volt was created by Blastech Industries.
**There are also 2 statues that look very similar to Volt's level 3 stage in Blastech Barrage.
*Volt is one of the few heroes who has a skin for each event.
