This map is basically a really long U-Bend which is composed of really long corridors that we can exploit with Thunder Lances and delaying machines like Glacio Beacons and Glitch Spawners. In addition, this stage is also where we get to try our newly obtained Repulsion Field Ku-Roro weapon to push enemies to the pool in the middle!

The boss echo for this stage is the Fae Ignis that has a higher health pool but takes damage over time. With this in mind, delaying tactics would be the way to go against this Boss TD.

As mentioned earlier, the main machines that we should go for are the Thunder Lance for damage, and the Glacio Beacon & Glitch Spawners to delay enemies. We suggest leveling up the Thunder Lance, Glitch Spawners, and Glacio Beacon to the maximum while getting modules that will improve performance.

For Thunder Lance, go for the module that doubles the firepower, but decreases damage by 25%. For Glitch Spawners, go for the module that increases the movement speed of confused enemies. Lastly, Glacio Beacons should have the module that extends the Slowed duration by 2s after leaving the beacon. This basically ensures a permanent slow effect for the entire wave.

Repulsor Spouts and the Repulsion Field are there to manage waves and maybe push TDs to the water in the middle periodically.

Forsaken Court (Elite) Wave Guide



WAVE 1: Setup Thunder Lances and Glacio Beacons

Wave 1 Tips and Recommendations
1
For the first wave, we should set up a lot of Thunder Lances next to the enemy spawn points to the south-west.
2
The setup is a combination of Thunder Lance, Repulsion Spout, and Glacio Beacons. Glitch Spawners are pretty expensive to use at this point, so let's go with Beacons this time around.

Make sure to use your Ku-Roro Repulsion Field to either push enemies to the water or push them back!

WAVE 2: Add More Slows!

Wave 2 Tips and Recommendations
1
Continue adding more Glacio Beacons and Thunder Lances on the same area as Wave 1.
2
For this wave, Fae Ignis will start to spawn. The best way to deal with them is to spam Glacio Beacons along its path to maximize its on-field time and drain as much HP as possible with its bleeding mechanic.

WAVE 3: Expand Your Working Area

Wave 3 Tips and Recommendations
1
For Wave 3, we expand to the area that is a little bit farther down the line.
2
Wave 3 adds more enemies but the Fae Ignis is missing. Use this chance to prepare the final Wave 4 onslaught by spamming more Glacio Beacons along the path and adding more Thunder Lance around the corner.
3
As an additional prep, add a pair of Thunder Lance and more Glacio Beacons farther along the way.

WAVE 4: Add Glitch Spawners

Wave 4 Tips and Recommendations
1
To finalize our setup, we should add Glitch Spawners farther down the line. This confuses the Fae Ignis, making sure it moves backwards - maximizing its bleeding mechanic.
2
Put the Glitch Spawners on gaps in the middle of the Glacio Beacons. This provides extra security for the Fae Ignis!
