How to approach it
The night opens at wave 12 with 24 enemies arriving in 5 groups. The first group is 6 darts coming in on a looping path. There are no armoured hexagons in this wave. No raiders cross the screen. 1 enemy drops a capsule: 1 × shield. On Easy you have five lives, two shield charges and slower enemy fire.
- A wave this size takes a while to clear — keep drifting so the orbs never get a still target.
- Stay low and to one side while the groups fly in, then work across the formation from that side.
