You passed up both Stun Laser and Shockwave Hammer to take.. Probe?! Oh dear... 😂 that does not help you survive at all
When you have Drilling Rig, go for Side Driller upgrade as fast as you can (before Wide Tunnels) because it will help you with the tough rock, it will keep mining while you're fighting, and can be a big help overall especially for this assignment. There's also a supplement for it that gives 3 _additional_ side drillers, so you can have 4 in total! That's quite a lot of mining power, especially if you also pay 4 iron and 2 water to upgrade the speed.
Also if you take Probe (don't!) but since you did, you need to use it EVERY time you go down, or it's even more of a waste. You can recharge it when you come back up if there's time before the wave, or on the way back down otherwise.
I'd also recommend Fast Stab over Long Stab for these tougher assignments. You'll get more damage in with more frequent stabs, as it recharges quicker. If you pair that with the Stab Bomb Delivery supplement, you won't have anymore survivability problem 😄

Thanks for the tips!
To be fair at that moment survivability felt like a skill issue rather than lack of tools, so I figured if i play a little better I should be a-okay :D
Also, you miiiiiight not like the next Dome Keeper episode as I attempted the assignment again just yesterday, before your tips 😂
As a small spoiler, I definitely did not like fast stab. I'll give it another shot though.
I definitely learned that mining is not really as much of an issue as surviving in this particular assignment

[@BeheadedKamikaze]

@beezvax It's definitely a tough assignment, I feel ya. Best of luck 🙏

[@BeheadedKamikaze]

@beezvax And yeah fast stab definitely is why people say that Sword dome has a learning curve. But I promise once you get used to it, it's an absolute beast weapon!

@@BeheadedKamikaze I've picked it up on accident in the next run, and maybe it was just me being caught off-guard, but it felt at the moment that is not dealing nearly enough damage as long stab did (Not saying that's the case, just felt like it in the moment). I will give it a shot in non-assignment run, just to get a better feel of it :)
However I can definitely see how it'd be veeeeeery strong with explosive suppliment :D
