Occasionally, you'll be tasked with defending a critical location or allied outpost against overwhelming enemy forces for a set period. These 'Defensive Stand' missions test your base building and tactical defense skills. Focus on fortifying choke points with defensive structures (Watchtowers, Bunkers, Tempest Spires) and positioning your units effectively. Resource management is key, as you'll need to repair damaged structures and replace lost units. Successfully holding the line often grants significant bonus resources, unique defensive upgrades, or unlocks powerful hero units for future missions. Prepare for multiple waves of attacks.
