How to approach it
The night opens at wave 3 with 23 enemies arriving in 4 groups. The first group is 5 darts coming in on a looping path. There are no armoured hexagons in this wave. 6 raiders cross the screen without joining the formation. 2 enemies drop capsules: 1 × spread shot and 1 × shield. On Hard you have three lives, no shield and quick, frequent enemy fire.
- Raiders weave across the middle of the screen; shoot them from the side they enter rather than chasing them.
- A wave this size takes a while to clear — keep drifting so the orbs never get a still target.
