The use of support skills does not "lock-in" the Kudos multipliers to the overall stage score.įully recovers EP, cures Overheat and Chaff In addition to offensive skills, Gunvolt can learn a plethora of support skills that can temporarily or instantaneously bolster Gunvolt's battle capabilities or save him in a pinch. On another note, if Gunvolt defeats a boss using an offensive skill, he will earn a bonus +500 Kudos before the multipliers are applied to the stage score (e.g., if the Kudos count is at 523 upon use of an offensive skill and the offensive skill lands a finishing blow on the boss, 1023 Kudos multipliers in addition to the Kudos gain from damage dealt to the boss will be applied to the overall stage score). Upon locking in, the Kudos count resets to zero. Thus, when anticipating a particularly hard boss fight, one way to salvage the stage score is to use an offensive skill on the boss mid-fight to apply the Kudos multiplier earned thus far to Gunvolt's total score. One effective way to lock-in Kudos is to use an offensive skill. The Kudos count continues to increase throughout Gunvolt's endeavours on stage but will not increase the actual stage score until Gunvolt "locks-in" or applies the multipliers to his current stage score. The Kudos count essentially determines the overall performance score in a stage, which in turn determines the rank received at the end of a mission.

The amount of damage dealt is determined by the amount of Kudos Gunvolt has at the moment of the skill's activation.
