A worn-down highway is the stage of a chase… The acting buffoon is unartistic, disrespectful and nonsensical… They all wish for the buffoon to be punished: and humanity cheers at it…
Prism is one of Copen's missions in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, taking place on the stage Prism Highway. The area has come under attack by Ghauri, causing it to become gummed up by prisms and Eden forces.
Copen's objective is to defeat Ghauri and stop the attack. But Ghauri's moving too fast for Copen to catch up, and all these prisms in the way don't make it easy, so Nori will provide some assistance.
Banking 3000 or more kudos in the stage as Copen will unlock SONG_04.np3, which when equipped causes Iolite to always play when reaching 1000 kudos.
Non-canonically, Gunvolt can also go through this stage in his version of Secret Mission 4 and Score Attack Mode after the story is complete.
This stage is filled with prisms that bounce your shots at a 45-degree angle. You can use them for trick shots, but shooting them head-on will cause your shots to ricochet off of them.
The prisms can be destroyed by the impact of an Aerial Reload or a level 3 Prism Break.
The spiky prisms redirect your shots at a 135-degree angle and hurt on contact. They can be destroyed all the same.
There are several burning cars lying on the road, 8 to be exact. Touching them hurts. A number of them are sitting underneath sprinkler units, so shooting those will spray water everywhere and douse the flame. You can also put out the flames with Hydro Zapper. Putting out the flames on all 8 cars will yield a "Secret" Kudos Bonus of 333 Kudos.
There's a Spyder unit trapped by prisms at the end of phase 1. For more information, see its portion on the Medium Bosses page.
Phase 2 involves you riding on Nori's motorcycle while fighting a running battle with Ghauri. He'll create spiky prisms you have to jump over, and a bunch of other prisms you have to dodge or shoot. Once you beat him, he'll run away, sending you to his boss arena.
