How to approach it
The night opens at wave 7 with 29 enemies arriving in 6 groups. The first group is 5 orbs coming in on a low sweep from the side. There are no armoured hexagons in this wave. 11 raiders cross the screen without joining the formation. 3 enemies drop capsules: 2 × spread shot and 1 × rapid fire. On Normal you have three lives and one shield charge.
- 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.
