Skill Shot

Make a lit top lane to work on advancing bonus X

Ruleset

Completing the top upper right yellow 3 drop target bank twice lights spinners for 3K/spin

Once spinners are lit, concentrate on ripping the top right spinner. This returns the ball to the top lanes as well to advance bonus X.

Completing the green bank of drop targets on the left advances the left orbit value (5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, EB at saucer). Ideally get 20K at left orbit and leave it there, advancing beyond resets the value.

Finishing all three drop banks lights Blackout saucer and scores 30K. Getting the center red bank is dangerous, and the lit spinner is more valuable, so best to ignore all of this.

Completing all 3 top lanes advances Bonus X (5X max)

  • Bonus X is carried ball-to-ball unless it is maxed at 5X
