Build for repeated pressure
Horde preparation differs from a single burst encounter. The squad needs answers for clustered enemies, priority targets, recovery and sustained positioning. Ammo and cooldown behavior should be measured rather than assumed.
Marauder's Titan Rockets and Rocket Mines, Hunter control, Machinist deployables and Medic sustain all have relevant documented functions. That does not prove a fixed ideal composition; see the role-based Best Class Guide.
Control approaches and space
Place mines and deployables where they influence an active route and can still be supported by players. Hunter's Cryo Pulse and Stasis Bolt can create firing windows. Duelist's Shrapnel Grenade is officially described as a way to make space against clusters.
Keep a retreat path. A strong position can become unsafe as pressure changes, and no official source says a single location solves every dedicated map.
Sustain the squad
Medic can provide resistance, knockback protection, offensive buffs and revive-related support. Machinist's Cross-Platform Synergy grants damage resistance near the turret, according to its official showcase.
These effects depend on range and conditions. Record when they are active and do not compare their maximum tooltip states as permanent squad output.
Test waves and rewards
For every run, record map, game version, difficulty, squad, class configurations, highest completed stage and reward screen. Repeat runs before publishing a pattern. Separate official labels from observed results.
The page will add wave and reward tables only when evidence is reproducible. A screenshot without version and context is not enough to establish a permanent rule.
