The Voidcast Dais (Extreme)

Game8.jp has gone ahead with a modified version of Hamkatsu’s strat for Golbez EX.

*N.B: Hamkatsu has released a follow-up video where he updated the Gale Sphere positions to melee-in, ranged-out.

The key points to note are:

Void Stardust splits are North/South.
The MT group is outside for Terrastorm + Arctic Assault + stacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

[Game8] What was the modification made to Hamkatsu's to get to Game8's strat?

The difference is in the lineup for Gale Spheres #2 and #3.

Hamkatsu's original strategy has the tanks/healers and DPS line up differently:

N/W： MTD1 > STD2 > H1D3 > H2D4 ：S/E

This has a couple issues, namely that it is difficult for the MT and D1 to maintain uptime on the boss.

Hamkatsu released a follow-up video where he updated the Gale Sphere positions to what we have now (melee-in, ranged-out), which Game8 picked up, hence the "Modified Hamkatsu".

[Void Stardust] Why are the groups split N/S instead of E/W?

This was one of the points of contention when the fight was released. Unfortunately, we don't know why Hamkatsu split the groups N/S, especially when Eventide Fall means H1 may have to cross from NE to W, and H2 from SW to E.

[Terrastorm + Arctic Assault] Why does the MT group go outside and the ST group stay in?

This was one of the points of contention when the fight was released. We don't know why Hamkatsu put the MT group on the outside, but this was what PF eventually settled to.

Many players felt that having the MT group stay towards the center, and the ST group go out made more sense. Another configuration had all the melees inside together with H1, and the ranged (with the ST) outside.
