ARMAMENT

  1. 01Lightning strikesA violet ring marks the ground under you, then lightning lands there.
  2. 02Sweep beamsFour emitters sweep beams across a marked wedge. Get outside it.
  3. 03Storm minesMines drift down onto your row. Shoot them — or catch two with one VECTOR.
  4. 04Chain lightningExposed emitters chain lightning across marked points of your row.
  5. 05Discharge lanesMarked lanes of lightning; there is always a safe lane.

BEHAVIOUR

  1. 01Storm gridFour relays under the saucer, fed by ground pylons, hold its shield.
  2. 02OverloadWith the shield down, its rings separate and expose eight emitters.
  3. 03StormheartWith the emitters gone, the iris opens over the Stormheart.

TACTICAL

Break the relays, destroy the exposed emitters, then strike the Stormheart three times when the iris opens.

ENGAGEMENT

  1. 01Storm grid: destroy the four shield relays — the shield collapses.
  2. 02Overload: destroy the eight exposed emitters while dodging sweeps, mines and chain lightning.
  3. 03Stormheart: three VECTOR strikes on the exposed core; stay out of the marked discharge lanes.
