Any Tips for 'Focal Point' Mode?

[Aussiedroid]

Hey there Community,

Played a bit of the Focal Point (where pointer damages aliens), but I am getting pretty poor scores.

Currently, I have found that using the pointer to damage the aliens slightly, but not killing them is the best option I have found as killing them gets you no points at all.

Anyone out there getting good scores, care to share how they are doing it?

Many Thanks!

Use pointer to take them to red at the start where they enter and let the towers kill them. Only follow the big walkers around the path til they are red and let your towers kill them. DONT KILL ANYTHING WITH THE POINTER.

Better not to upgrade your towers

Similar to what trash said, I like to use the cursor to damage them at the beginning, then let my towers finish them off. If a Crasher gets through and is heading to my core housing I'll try and take him down with my cursor as fast as possible if there are no other major threats on the grid.

Thanks guys! Seems I have the right idea then ... just looks like I need some practice :)

This is not communicated enough ingame, wasted 1.25 playthroughs to a map on the quest to geet gold to realize that you'll loose on points massively (and I thought build nearly no towers and only kill with the beam... you'll have more resources to get points)... the mode description doesn't specify it -.-
