[Reworked 05/09/2025]

Wave 9, you wouldn't believe surviving the previous wave – let alone your mates having a really good performance when you least thought about it. The trumpet for Wave 9 blares around the Dunes, and when it finished, your radio crackled as your Aerial Reconnaissance informed you about a new threat:

"Enemy forces are being reinforced by an Achilles unit. Avoid dangerous sightlines and exploit it's shield down-times as opportunities."

It wasn't going to be that bad, right? But a blast from an Armor Peeler narrowly misses you, you duck down behind a building that resisted each projectile, while your mates tried to spot the threat.
