OK, bit of click-bait in the title & my 'discovery' may be common knowledge? After noticing that Remnant Assemblers (red bar enemies) are the ones 'creating' the Observers (those shielded, flying raygun robots Assemblers throw out) I tried an experiment (gold solo games): go for Assemblers first, ignore Observers. Turns out that, killing all Assemblers means that Observers never have to be killed! (Well, once in a while, an Observer or two are the last remaining enemies in the wave). Now the sad part: unfortunately, I can only do this with the Angara Avenger Observers are too pesty when I play other characters and can't be ignored. But if I play Remnant with my A.Avenger, I use this strategy. Teammates may be perplexed why I'm so concentrated on simple red bar Assemblers but it's because I have a strategy! (Plus, one sticky can often kill a bunch of grouped up Assemblers.)

Assemblers don’t make Observers. They make Breachers, the flying robot dogs that bite and grab you like Adhis.
There is a Wave budget, however. If you kill just one enemy over and over (Assemblers), you will deplete the Wave budget Suh that the only remaining Observers are the only that originally spawned.
In my first Krogan Gladiator Plat solo, I focused eliminating only Anointed. Getting rid of 18 of them on Wave 5 meant I only had to take out a small number of Destined (5), Observers (3) and Saboteurs (3).
When I am the Avenger, I focus on Saboteurs. One Avenger Strike and two melees are enough to get rid of one. By that time, Avenger Strike is back off cooldown, and I go hunting for the next one (or Berserker, Sharpshooter or Anointed).

Oh, my -- breachers, observers, they all look the same to me (flying drones!) Really need to get new glasses I suppose.
I just focus on Assemblers at beginning of wave as they come out first, &, of course (?) yellow bars become priority once they start coming out. Point: as Avenger I can ignore Observers. Maybe useless info as Observers can't be ignored as easily by other characters & just respawn if you kill them. Yeah, and Anointed are priority targets for me when playing Kett. I don't bother with Ascendants until they are all taken down.

Assemblers making suicide Observers would be brutal.
