How to approach it
The night opens at wave 7 with 26 enemies arriving in 6 groups. The first group is 5 darts coming in on a looping path. 3 armoured hexagons take three hits each and fire spreads from the top rows. 9 raiders cross the screen without joining the formation. 2 enemies drop capsules: 2 × rapid fire. On Normal you have three lives and one shield charge.
- Go for the hexagons as soon as they settle: three hits each, and their spread is what ends most watches at this wave.
- Raiders weave across the middle of the screen; shoot them from the side they enter rather than chasing them.
