4 Star Level Tips

Before you attempt to 4 star the different levels, make sure that you have strong enough ship and weapon to do so. If not, just continue the level and upgrade your ships and gears and then revisit these levels. In addition, the enemy patterns in ARC Squadron are randomized if you replay the level. There are certain patterns that are easier to 4 star than the rest.

Combos, sometimes because the enemies have distance gap between them. Using a less powered ship to continue your combo is the only way to get 4 stars in some missions. Always try to keep the combos going if you can.

Grinding for Credits

The womrholes inside each of the missions are bonus challenges for you. Grinding the wormhole bonus missions will give you the best amount of credits.

Useful Game Play Tips

Avoid Damage
Barrel roll is your best friend to avoid taking in damage.

Use Secondary Weapons
Your secondary attacks although require you to do an additional tap, it does significantly more damage than your ships main attacks. Use it to your advantage to kill the enemies easily.

Ship Upgrades

Upgrade your ship all the time as necessary. By having a stronger ship in ARC Squadron, you will have easier time to pass the levels. However in the beginning and mid game, usually 1 upgrade is sufficient to pass the levels, you should then save up the credits to purchase a more advanced ship.
