Awakening the Nightmare
In the mission "Fighting Retreat" Pavium needed some other sources to defend himself and his army From the flood, so he uses available plots scattered around the area in order to be build on, Pavium can choose to either build a Shield Barrier to temporally hold off the flood or build some Floor Blades so the flood can take some damage when they come.

Tips
- Floor Blade are very effective against group units (Marines and Grunt Squads) as every member of the group take separate damage.
- Whenever a large group of units are passing through the Spikes, make the siege/splash units to force target them or the toughest unit in the group in order to deal more damage on the units surrounding the tougher.
- Voridus' Infusion pools also deal a lot of damage also they are slightly slowed down.
- Upon late waves of Vultures or Scorpions, try to make them use their specials on the buildings as much as possible whenever they destroy one already built Floor Blades but it's recommended to not keep spamming the Floor Blades as the enemy A.I. can be granted a Veterancy.
