What exactly determines how high your grade is at the end of a fight? The highest I've been able to achieve so far is B+, and that was on a battle I didn't feel went too well. On some battles where I take NO damage at all, and don't lose any cards, I only pull a C or C+, even if I totally decimate the opponent.

Is there some secret "style" guage in the game that rewards using good combos or something, or is it based on the types of cards you use (strong ones, or weak ones???). It doesn't make any goddamn sense. And how the hell am I supposed to get better cards when you can only get a good score using good cards (WHICH I DON"T HAVE!!!)???

I've gotten an S ONCE with Saligun. And I thought the match was a disaster, so I know exactly what you mean. And the highest I've gotten with Arkz I got with Hyze, an A+. That match took a REALLY long time (I was fighting Guykild...) so yeah, i have NO idea how the ranking system works either. I'd sure as hell like to know though haha.

Here's what PSOW thinks it is, looks about right too. (Hehe, and I just had an A+ with Saligun on Guardian 3, man I love her)

35 + (Attack Damage - Damage Taken) + (Max Card Combo x 3) - (Story Character Damage x 1.8) - (Turns x 2.7) + (Action Card Negated Damage x 0.8)

The number that results is checked against this chart
Score Rank
0-14 E
15-24 D
25-29 D+
30-39 C
40-49 C+
50-59 B
60-64 B+
65-74 A
75-84 A+
85+ S

holy crap that's alot of math!
I just want to play a damn video game! :D

Hah, that is as crazy as the calculations they use on DDR for the grades. Must be a japanese thing.

Anyways I got an A+ (on another seemingly dreadful match) using Relmitos. It's a new reckid!

I got my very first S rank today while I was online just messing around against the comp. In all honesty, I don't care what rank I get after the match...all I care about is what my Clv is so I get the best cards possible...

its funny how i always seem to get shitty cards when i get S maybee i usually get good stuff on C
