- SCORING -

Medals System : As long as you catch all medals of a wave, the increasing continues up to 10,000 points per medal. If you miss one, the next wave restarts at 100 point...

1 : 100 points.

2 : 200 points.

3 : 300 points.

4 : 400 points.

5 : 500 points.

6 : 600 points.

7 : 700 points.

8 : 800 points.

9 : 900 points.

10 : 1000 points.

11 : 2000 points.

12 : 3000 points.

13 : 4000 points.

14 : 5000 points.

15 : 6000 points.

16 : 7000 points.

17 : 8000 points.

18 : 9000 points.

19 : 10,000 points.

20 : 100,000 points - You can only trigger the 100k points medals when you have a multiplier active, and you can only continue to release 100k points medals if you continue to keep a multiplier going. Once you lose a multiplier, your medals revert back to 10k points medals.

* Multiplier System : Bakraid features another scoring system that alters the amount of points gained from enemy destruction by modifying the base point gain from enemy destruction with a specially acquired incremental multiplier. The multiplier system is the more important of the two scoring systems as it is the system that can contribute to almost 80% of your total score, and is centric to the release of the special 100,000 points medals. However, the multiplier system is also the most difficult to get to grips with and exploit, as it requires a lot of pre-planning on the player's part with regards to stage and boss strategies in order to maximize potential point gains. The multiplier system in essence features an incremental multiplier that is gained by destroying LARGE enemies. You can continue to increment the multiplier up to a max of 64x, via this simple table (the number in brackets refers to the amount of large enemies destroyed to reach that multiplier stage) :

2x (destroy 2)

4x (3)

8x (4)

16x (5)

32x (6)

64x (7 and more)
