Quickie Version

UTAD via the spinner if lit, right orbit otherwise; if Extra Balls are enabled, complete the right side stand-up targets once to light the EB lane.

Go-To Flipper

Mild bias Right

Full Rules

Long version: UTAD. Ignore the center rollovers and stand-up targets. Just keep shooting the top to complete the three lanes and advance both the bonus X with sets of three, the saucer value with the center lane when lit [alternates on switches] and have the ball drop into the saucer on some of those shots.

Skill Shot is the center lane, especially when lit to advance the saucer; it also lights the spinner.

Key feed is the kickout from the saucer; find a way to get control, and on some games, you may have to nudge when it kicks to avoid either SDTM drains or having the ball fall to a slingshot.

Playfield Risk

Bumper action and rebounds off any shot other than the spinner or right orbit. Balls kicking out of the saucer sometimes drain or go to a slingshot; see below. Balls rimming around the saucer or lipping out of it occasionally center drain.
