Story Mode

The Story Mode is the main campaign within The Bouncer.

## Interactive Narrative Experience

The Bouncer's Story Mode offers the chance for the player to experience the perspective from each of the main three protagonists - Sion, Kou & Volt. Players get to select a character prior to every encounter and the cutscenes that follow will offer unique insight from the selected character. Sometimes it can be simply seeing a cutscene from the characters point of view but other times it can offer unique stages - Most notable being Kou's stage where he infiltrates the Mikado Headquarters in disguise as an MSF.

### Opinion Piece

*I have often tried to offer factual advice alone within this Wiki. However, the one recommendation I would like to offer is that when experiencing the game I feel it is best to choose the same character for each encounter everytime within a playthrough. I feel this offers a more consistent story experience. The downside is that you have to neglect the other two bouncers from stat progression, but the 1st playthoughs Game Rank shouldn't cause too much difficulty. - **Vivi-Gamer***

There are also other facets that come into play when choosing character selection, sometimes it will offer unique boss encounters but also depending on which character you choose at one point can affect the fate of one particular character - You can find more details about this information on their character page.

## Trinity Rush Attack

The Trinity Rush Attack is a special move which can only be used in Story Mode. It involves all 3 of The Bouncers combining their attacks on a single opponent - the one which the player is focused on prior to activating. Each of the 3 bouncers has a unique Trinity Rush Attack with the player selected character dealing the final blow.

To activate the attack the player must response with a taunt when they see the another one of the bouncers bouncers taunt or hear them prompt the attack by whistling or speaking. This attack can be used on any enemy on the game from Humans, to Watchdogs and even the larger scale robots like LD-X1! The Trinity Rush Attack however cannot be used against Dauragon - The attack animation will play out with him evading each of the bouncers strikes.

## Stat Charts

The main story can be experienced on multiple playthroughs with players stats being brought into the New Game+. As the player increases their stats, the enemies stats will also be increased up reaching further ranks.

Below is a chart which depicts the amount of BP which is needed for each bouncer's rank to increase - To find out more about how to utilise BP for each character, visit their respective character page Sion, Kou & Volt.

**RANKING CHART FOR BOUNCERS**
 **A-S** | 23400

The following chart represents the BP needed to reach the next rank in the game. In Story Mode, this will increase the stats of the enemies you encounter. However, increasing the Game Rank also increases stats for the unlockable characters in Versus Mode and Survival Mode.
