Giga Wing scoring question

Post by black mariah »

WTF does the multiplier do in Score Attack mode? I can't find a real answer anywhere. Everything just says "it has something to do with the medals..." :evil:

Anytime you pick up a medal in Score Attack mode, whatever its value would normally be is multiplied by that multiplier before being added to the regular score multiplier. Er... hope that made sense with all the multipliers flying around. :)

Makes perfect sense. I had no clue what exactly it was multiplying. Score? Medal count? Thanks for the help.

The medals add to the main score multiplier.

The Multiplier count multiplies the current medal tally to the current Multiplier value (Ex: snapping up a +5 medal which brings your medal tally to 400, is multiplied by [example number]30, which gives you a tally of 12,000, which adds 12,000 to your main score multiplier)

The Multiplier value is reset every time you die, or use a bomb. This is only amplified in GW2, since not only do you have the potential to get much more medals (what with Volcanons and all), the Multiplier value rises significantly quicker than in GW1's Score Attack mode.

Does the extra multiplier also multiply the base value of the medal picked up (like in the example you posted, 5x30)? Because the medal total rises a lot quicker too.
