Gameplay Overview

The player attacks enemies to fill up the SP weapon gauge.

Attacking enemies and catching bullets with the SP attack can fill up the PNC gauge. If the PNC gauge exceeds the PNC line, the Hyper button can be used to clear the bullets, but will also cause the PNC gauge to overheat.

If the PNC gauge is full, pressing Hyper button will activate the Hyper Install (rather than Stand). Filling up the PNC gauge while in Hyper Install, Blank Install can be activated.

Scoring

---

Compared to the previous Assault Shell entry, scoring consists of killing enemies with the SP weapon for higher multiplier.

Using stands will increase the multipliers.

After clearing a stage, score is increase by amount of collected small items and large items. If the player No-Miss´d a stage, the rewards are doubled by x2.

Rank

Rank determines the agressiveness of the enemy patterns. Rank difficulty slowly increases overtime, and increases even further when using the Installs and you collect items during stands. When rank reaches MAX, it cannot be decreased until recieving a miss.
