The one where you defend the building? Just don't let them take any damage before the suicide drones show up. The drones alone will not get past the shield.

As for the snipers, just bring the fight to them:

A few additional tips:

A tetrapod AC lends itself very well for both defense missions in AC6, as the extended hover gives you a better overview of what's happening and where you should intervene first.

Activating the Xylem turrets when the snipers spawn also takes care of them.

While the shield of the Xylem will indeed survive their impact, killing the suicide drones gives you a bit more leeway (especially for S-Ranking).
One of the easiest ways to kill them is to drop the pulse protection shield dome in their flight path, as they will get destroyed by colliding with it. Their flight path is somewhere between 200 and 300 above ground on the middle bridge leading to the tower. (can't remember the exact height, but dropping the shield dome at ~250 should work)

or do a speed build with full plasma build like the big plasma rifle and the small plasma missiles, if you can clear the mobs, the suicide drone won't matter much, you could also save the turret near the tower to activate around 3:00 to help with the snipers

as for the shield dome, just go to the base roof of the tower, jump for around 2-3 times the height of your ac, or was it 4/5 times height? i forgot, and drop the shield

I need more of these missions in the expac, maybe a way where we can produce our own MT to counter the enemies.

bring the 3 cell plasma missiles and ransetsu RFs, dont forget pulse protection

so build an AC with high fire arms spec (obviously the nacht arms) then mid-melee ish FCS spec Abbot/Talbot/Ocellus

dont want haplessly clicking? bring lamm arms or alpha mind arms and 2 attache and the plasma missiles or the starter missiles x 2

- Laser cannons or linear rifles are good weapons
- Activate the turrets around the 3 minute mark to take out the snipers
- When the drones show up, fly into their path and use assault armor. Will take out some of them at least, reducing their overall damage.

Make a fast build that can move very quickly and efficiently. How you make said build is up to you.

But the main idea behind said build is to take out the sniper LCs as fast as you can.
