[Angels of the Zariman] Suggestion for Armageddon: Please make us clear the area around the tower first before signaling the next tower, please. Have mercy.

Context: We were playing Void Armageddon, and got the bounty where we cannot let them damage any of the towers. We were four in the team, and split the squad to two so that we could better guard the Exodampers. We were doing our best, when I noticed that the Eternal Relic was being attacked prematurely, receiving damage even if our dampers were alive and online. We frantically rushed to defend it, only to find that one of our towers got busted. And here's the kicker: it was the tower that was not in focus (the one without the triangle and exclamation point) that got decimated.

Based on these observations, it seems that there are factors that have led to this chain of unfortunate events:

1. The shift in focus to which damper to defend is abrupt. There are times when there are still enemies within the current damper area. Some of us (me) frantically moved to the next area, leaving one or two squad-mates to clean up shop, but there's a chance that the remaining enemies were too many (particularly if there are multiple Eximus units)
2. Both the Eternal Relic and the unfocused Exodamper are not rendered invulnerable when out of focus (or as the case of the Relic, neither of the dampers were destroyed)
3. There's a small chance that enemies from one area move to the next one, and since the Relic room connects the two areas, there's a chance for the AI to just attack the Relic with very little notice from Cavalero
4. There's also a chance that the same damper receives focus, which means that if there are still enemies around, the attention of the squad may not be evenly distributed; some may continue to clear mobs, with hopefully one member trying their best not to get hit while building the tower defense constructs

With this, I would like to suggest some small tweaks to the game mode:

1. Put an interim "clear the area" objective before moving to the next damper (or same damper). This gives us some time to clean the slate and focus on building and extracting argozene afterwards instead of the chaos that is juggling enemies and building defenses some tiles away in 30 seconds.
2. Render the Eternal Relic invulnerable until at least one of the dampers is destroyed. This way we do not have a squad that assigns one person to look out for stragglers who will dare attack the Relic without notice.
3. Add clear and short notices from Cavalero when an Exodamper (or the Relic) is at low health.

Thank you! :)
