[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 173360, member: 3745"] Yeah, the scoop starts a mode about 10% of the time. That sounds low but it isn't. It's actually quite a lot of payoff for the venture. 10 scoop shots for a mode is way safer than 6 Franky or Bride or Dracula shots. And the other stuff the scoop can do like bonus X and monster bombs are better than the piddly 250K or whatever paid by the intermediate shots to the monsters. The overall strategy is more like, not so much about Lyman's itself, but the scoop in general and Lyman's is a nice addition when it happens. How does the bonus get so high? Suppose your next ball is as good as the Lyman's ball. Now suppose that one instant you lost control into the drain didn't happen, so that the two balls merge into one continuous ball. Now both the bonus score and X are twice what you had before. 2.8m * 110x = 308m. How's that sound? [/QUOTE]
