Stellar Bastion Strategy

Start by mastering movement. Staying near the center lets you pivot quickly as bugs converge from all sides. Upgrade your sidearm first; it never runs out of ammo and provides reliable fire while you hunt for the next weapon drop. When a wave ends, check the perk cards. Choose upgrades that boost survivability—shield regen, faster roll cooldown, or increased damage against the Hive King. The Hive King appears every fifth wave; it accelerates the swarm and deals massive damage. Focus fire on the king as soon as it spawns, then retreat to a safe zone while the remaining bugs dissolve. Keep an eye on the score meter; each kill adds points that unlock higher‑tier guns. Balance aggression with caution: rushing into a dense pack can deplete health fast, but staying too passive lets the wave count rise unchecked. Learn the rhythm of each 13‑second wave and adjust your roll timing accordingly. The longer you survive, the more varied the enemy patterns become, rewarding precise positioning and quick weapon swaps.
