| As the phase is finished when the core's HP is depleted, it is viable to end the first phase very quickly by equipping a high ATP weapon like [[Excalibur]], or [[Red Saber]] + [[Crimson Coat]] with [[FOnewearl]] and using fast multi-target techniques such as [[Gizonde]] to stun-lock Vol Opt. | | As the phase is finished when the core's HP is depleted, it is viable to end the first phase very quickly by equipping a high ATP weapon like [[Excalibur]], or [[Red Saber]] + [[Crimson Coat]] with [[FOnewearl]] and using fast multi-target techniques such as [[Gizonde]] to stun-lock Vol Opt. |

| === First Form Pilla Photon Blast Strategy ===
| |
| In the Normal, Hard, and Very Hard difficulties, there is a conduit hanging from the ceiling in Vol Opt's monitor room. Knocking it down to the ground by damaging it will cause Vol Opt to short-circuit when his pillars attack the room with lightning. When this happens, all of the pillars in the room come up at once and are stunned, making all of them targetable for a short period of time. This mechanic can be abused to defeat Vol Opt's first form, even in multiplayer, through the use of a well-raised Mag with the Pilla photon blast.

|
| |
| First, make sure you enter the boss fight with a full photon blast meter. When the fight begins, shoot down the conduit and position yourself on top of it. Vol Opt will circle around the room on the monitors - you can ignore them. When he stops at one of the monitors, he will raise some pillars from the ground. Again, do not attack anything. Instead, watch closely while he charges up his lightning attack, and then activate your Pilla photon blast just before he unleashes.

| |
| If timed properly, here's what will happen: During the couple seconds of invulnerability before the photon blast activates, the lightning attack from Vol Opt will miss you and only strike his conduit on the ground, causing him to short-circuit. While short-circuited, all of his pillars become exposed and are targetable, which conveniently means your Pilla photon blast will strike all of them at once. If your Mag's IQ is high, the damage output on the pillars will be great enough to destroy all of them at once, thus ending Vol Opt's first form instantly. This is potentially the fastest way to defeat Vol Opt's first form.

| |
| Again, this is not possible in Ultimate, as there is no conduit for Vol Opt to short-circuit himself upon, meaning you won't be able to target all of his pillars in one photon blast. Also, if you are in multi-player, you must ensure that your allies understand not to seek out and attack the pillars, else Vol Opt's lightning attack may be delayed or completely prevented and ruin your ability to time the photon blast properly.
