Field notes
- Enemies follow the pale dust lane from the entry point to the extraction platform.
- Hover before anchoring to preview range and placement validity.
- Probe Arrays reveal cloaked contacts; Webifier Fields, Painter Beacons, Shield Pylons, and Nanite Repair Bays support the grid instead of dealing direct damage.
- D-scan Sweep can reveal hidden contacts, but it has a cooldown.
- Click Unclick or press Escape to cancel placement before touching the map.
- Level III anchors unlock tower-bound actives such as Overcharge Shot, Snare Surge, Deep Sweep, Emergency Reinforce, and Nanite Surge.
- Some actives are instant target abilities, while Flak Grid and Webifier Field actives are pre-buffs: you can arm them just before contacts enter range.
- Projectile targeting uses tower-defense shorthand: First is closest to exit, Last is closest to entrance, Close is closest to the tower, Strong is highest HP, and Fast is highest speed.
Scan hidden contacts
Visibility matters
Cloaked signatures need probe coverage or a timed D-scan Sweep before your damage systems can fully respond.
