Defender pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Complete a wave by hitting the lit Lander drop targets, then any Mutant Bull's-Eye, until all 15 Landers are gone. Complete Bomber lanes 1 through 4 for Bonus X; at 10x, hit the Warp Bull's-Eye to advance three waves. Lock three balls in the right trough to start Multiball.
The goal
Protect Humanoids first, because a missed rescue adds a moving Mutant target. Build Bomber lanes toward Warp when safe, and take right-trough locks whenever the feed is controlled.
Hit the flashing Lander drop target to rescue its Humanoid; if it becomes a Mutant, follow and hit the moving Mutant Bull's-Eye.
Clear all 15 Landers and any Mutants to complete the current wave.
Complete Bomber lanes 1 through 4 to raise Bonus X; at 10x, knock down the Warp target and hit its Bull's-Eye to advance three waves.
Feed balls into the right lockup trough; the third lock starts three-ball Multiball.
