I’m a complete newbie trying to get the hang of Warframe and I’m stuck on the Jupiter Junction boss. Right now, I’m using Volt along with a heat sword and a Boltor. The sword does pretty decent damage, but I get knocked out with just a couple of hits whenever I get close. The Boltor hardly seems to do anything, even with a 90% damage boost. I’m really eager to progress to Jupiter so I can start building some new Warframes!

You’re right to be cautious; Jupiter Junction is the boss Valkyr. Her ability, Hysteria, can make her immune to damage when activated. Stay out of her range if she casts it! Use something like Excalibur’s Radial Blind or Rhino’s Stomp to stun her when you can. Try to focus on leveling your mods to get better damage output; that will make a significant difference against her.
If you have Rhino, try using Iron Skin and pair it with a Kohm. Another fun option is to get Grendel; you can literally eat the boss and wait it out—it’s a hilarious tactic!
When I struggled with junction bosses, I used Octavia to cheese them. Go invisible before the fight, drop down the Mallet and Amp, and then just pick them off with headshots while you’re stealthy.
I’d recommend getting Mag as your next Warframe; she’s super easy to farm from the Sergeant. Equip some damage mods on your bow, and you’ll be able to take her down with a few shots!
Since you’re using Volt, leverage that speed and shield to your advantage. If you can, try to get the Cronus or Orthos for better range on attacks—use that for ground slams! If the Boltor isn’t cutting it, make sure to equip mods that counter her shields, like magnetic for shield drain, or toxin/viral to whittle down her health. Good luck, and welcome to the game!
Make sure to use Volt’s Shield ability to block incoming projectiles. If you upgrade Volt’s defenses, like Redirection or Vitality, you should be able to take a bit more damage before going down. It really helps when you’re up against tough enemies.
Wait, you can eat junction bosses? That’s kinda wild!
