Analysis
Review
Volume is a Burst I SMG Attacker who only is an attacker in the name because her kit fully revolves around buffing allies. This doesn't mean she can't do damage - for an SMG character it's actually quite decent, especially once her ATK self-buff is up.
She provides Critical Rate and Critical Damage buffs to her allies - both having the highest values among all Burst I characters (with Miranda being the second best). On top of that, she can decrease the remaining cooldown of allies' skills, adding even more to her power.
However, keep in mind that Critical Damage and Rate buffs are inferior to ATK buffs, so while Volume looks great on paper, she performs worse than N102 who has just an ATK buff. Sadly, that's how the damage formula in this game works and unless things will change, Crit buffers like Volume don't have a place in the meta.
