To achieve a great score in Hexodius Arcade arenas, you will need to do more than just survive and shoot at everything that comes at you. Destroying a lot of enemies, gathering maximum energy sparks and bonuses will be key to achieving a top score.
You have to quickly destroy enemy waves to increase the spawning level and when you are hit, the enemies are cleared and the level does not increase. Avoid being hit and try to quickly level up to have a huge crowd of enemies surround you.
Energy sparks are worth a certain amount of points depending on their size (small, medium and big), so try not to miss them and optimise your score. The energy magnet upgrade or the energizer equipment can help you to grab more of the energy sparks. Don’t forget the optimizer upgrade (20% of score bonus for energies) if you want to focus on your score.
We designed several “bonus actions” that will add points to your score. They were designed so you’ll have you think about your customisation setup in order to clear them in a run!
Each weapon has its own bonus action, so try to find how to use them to improve your score. Be sure to optimise all the weapons in your setup.
You can go in the main menu to check all the bonus actions. Once you have performed one, its complete description will become available. All enemies are worth a certain amount of red dots that count towards bonus actions.
