The biggest threat, which is the Havoc Prism, can be swept away by the Hologram Echo: Hoartoise while the Shock Inductor kills it! Despite the Cruisewing's size and speed, it can easily be killed with the Shock Inductor and Plasma Cannon.
As for the route, thankfully the Tacet Discords will use one route all throughout, making the set up and killing easier.

WAVE 1: Use Shock Inductors to Kill the Havoc Prism
| 1 | Wave 1 Tips and Recommendations |
|---|---|
 Before starting the level, it's important for the Shock Inductor to be upgraded to Level 3 to have an easier time against the Havoc Prisms. Feel free to reset an upgrade of a Combat Machine you don't use to get enough Sim Ingots for the cost! |
|
| 2 |  There are only two Havoc Prisms in the first wave. They can easily be dealt with using the Shock Inductors and the Plasma Cannon. |
| 3 |  Head to this spot of the map to start deploying Combat Machines. All of the defenses in the Crumble City Elite Level will be set up in this area! |
| 4 |
It recommended to spend most of your Sim Credits to get Shock Inductors, while the rest can be spent for the Hologram Echo: Hoartoise to prevent them from getting through. |
WAVE 2: Use Glitch Spawner and Glacio Beacons
| 1 | Wave 2 Tips and Recommendations |
|---|---|
 Improve the defenses you've built from the first wave by adding Glitch Spawners and Glacio Beacons. Feel free to add a Thunder Lance as well, just in case a Tacet Discord escapes. Remember that you can add more machines during the Tacet Discord's attack. |
|
| 2 |
With this set up, the Havoc Prisms will slowly but surely die, and even the sneaky Cruisewings will be caught. This is thanks to the Hologram Echo: Hoartoise, the Glacio Beacons, and the Glitch Spawner having a strong defense. It pairs very well with the Shock Inductor's heavy attacks! |
WAVE 3: Add More Shock Inductors
| 1 | Wave 3 Tips and Recommendations |
|---|---|
 With more Havoc Prisms coming, it's best to build more Shock Inductors to kill them. You can also stack Glacio Beacons to stall the Tacet Discords until the Inductors can shoot them again. |
|
| 2 |
Despite the Havoc Prism's numbers, they can still fly and go backwards thanks to the AoE potential of the Hologram Echo: Hoartoise, and the Glitch Spawner's ability. |
WAVE 4: Add Hologram Echo: Hoartoise and Shock Inductors
| 1 | Wave 4 Tips and Recommendations |
|---|---|
 Tighten your defense one last time by adding more Shock Inductors and Hologram Echo: Hoartoise to prevent them from reaching the Energy Matrix. |
|
| 2 |
Even with the huge wave of Havoc Prisms and other small TDs, the Shock Inductors and your Plasma Cannon will still kill them. This is thanks to the stalling capabilities of the Hologram Echo: Hoartoise, Glacio Beacon, and Glitch Spawner. |
