How to approach it
The night opens at wave 12 with 22 enemies arriving in 5 groups. The first group is 3 hexagons coming in on a looping path. 3 armoured hexagons take three hits each and fire spreads from the top rows. No raiders cross the screen. 1 enemy drops a capsule: 1 × spread shot. 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.
- A wave this size takes a while to clear — keep drifting so the orbs never get a still target.
