Forsaken Court features a single winding path that connects the TD spawn room to your Energy Matrix. The curves along this path create intersecting corners, giving you opportunities to set up machines on the walls for better coverage. However, there are grates scattered across the floor which act as dead zones, preventing ground-based machines from being deployed there.

Most enemies you’ll encounter here are smaller, but the stage introduces the fast and agile Cruisewing that quickly becomes the main threat. Strengthening your defenses to deal with its speed and evasiveness will be key to completing this stage.

This stage will automatically lock you into using the Glacio Beacon and Tacetite Barrage machines, as their usage is imperative at this stage. Considering that you've spent your Rating Stars to unlock the Venture Capital Funds I and Database Expansion I Overwatch Protocols, we suggest selecting the Tacetite Spikes for your extra Combat Machine slot.

Forsaken Court Wave Guide

Forsaken Court Wave Guide


Wave 1: Set Up a Slow Trap

For the first wave, spend 600 Sim Credits to deploy 4 Tacetite Barrages along the walls of the corner intersection. Be sure to leave a gap between the two Barrages facing north, allowing for staggered hits as TDs pass through.

If you still have enough Sim Credits, place 2 Glacio Beacons one tile behind the first Tacetite Barrage, right beside the pillar. This positioning makes the most of the available space since the tile ahead is a dead zone.

Pick Off Enemies Early

Position yourself on the right side of the long hallway leading from the corner intersection, facing the enemy spawn. From here, you’ll have a clear line of sight to the TDs as they emerge, letting you thin their numbers with your Speed Shooter before they even reach your combat machines.

Wave 2: Place Down More Tacetites

Multiple Cruisewings will be flying through this wave, and they will be immune to the slow effects of your Glacio Beacon. Due to this, the most reliable modules to use will be your Tacetite machines.

Spend 300 Sim Credits to add 2 Tacetite Barrage on opposite sections of the intersecting walls to fully bolster their defenses, then spend an extra 200 Sim Credits to add 2 Tacetite Spikes one tile after your Glacio Beacons to avoid the dead zone.

Wave 3: Enhance Slow and Tacetites

On the last wave, pad out the rest of your defenses by placing 3 Tacetite Spikes along the short hallway covered by the intersection, then place an extra 2 Glacio Beacons right behind the first two that you've established in wave 1.

This setup creates a strong choke point against any walkers, with the Glacio Beacons slowing them right into the path of multiple Tacetite Barrage strikes. The Cruisewings will also trigger the Barrages as they pass, while your Speed Shooter reliably picks off any that slip through, ensuring the wave is efficiently cleared.
