Rank Criteria

Rank Criteria

DMC5 Rank is determined on the Total Stylish Points. Rather than having criteria for the overall Evaluation points, It averages your score and scales it based on how many fights you S ranked per mission. So the fewer you do and get S in, the higher the average will be.

This case is extremely similar to the format of DMC2 Stylish Rank rating if the value of this average is not above a certain value at each measurement time, a high rank will not be obtained. At the end of each battle, a point number appears in the upper right corner, which is the average value for the entire mission.

The sum of the remaining two items, bonus red orbs and extra bonuses is the amount of red orbs you can get when clearing the game. Red orbs gained during missions are not included. ⁽¹⁾

The highest total stylish points will always be your score when your score when you select a mission.
It's possible to check details by pressing the button the screen for results.

Points Required for S rank

The points required for the S rank vary depending on the difficulty level. There is no difference depending on the mission aside from Bonuses. The higher the difficulty, the higher the enemy's durability will increase, and you will be able to earn points by hitting more attacks, so it is not so much that the S-rank is more difficult on higher difficulty.

However, on high difficulties, there is a high possibility that the enemy will have zero health due to the strength of the enemy, and a penalty for using gold orbs will be applied.

Requirements per Difficulty
Mode	Points
Human	4000
Devil Hunter	5000
Son of Sparda	5500
MUST DIE	6000
Heaven or Hell	1000
Hell and Hell	5500
The duration of the highest rank given in each battle area including non-mandatory ones is overwritten and updated at the end of each battle.

Bonus and Penalty Multipliers
Event	Points Multiplier
No Damage	x2.0
No Continues	x1.2
Gold Orb	x0.9
Checkpoint Reset 3 times or more	x0.9
Clear using Auto Assist	x0.8
Orb resurrection 3 or more times	x0.5
Super Character	x0.2
These penalty and Bonuses affect your Total Stylish Points.

For example, if you maintain your rank SSS in the first battle area and earn about 6000 points, and then only move up to A in the second area, the information in the second area will be overwritten with the latest version, and the resulting points will be greatly reduced. However, if you can maintain a high rank again for a long time in the subsequent area, you may recover points.

As described above, this evaluation method is like applying the stylish average of DMC2, but in this game, the average information is updated for each battle, so it does not seem to be purely a reuse of 2. In addition, there is a considerable difference in the way points are entered between rank A and S and above, and no matter how hard you try in the A state, you can only earn about 4000. If you get S or higher, you can get at least 5000 points even if you play out of your mind.

Factors that affect total stylish rank and Red Orb earned

The higher your Stylish Points, the more Red Orbs you obtain. In addition to the standard Red Orbs received for mission completion ⁽²⁾ and overall style rank, players can also receive bonus orbs for completing certain tasks. These vary from actions that can be performed at any time.

Stylish Rank Standard
Style Rank	Points
	8000
	7000
	6000
	5000
	4000
	3000
	2000
E	1000

Red Orb Bonus by Difficulty Clear
Mode	Multiplier Bonus
Human	x0.6
Devil Hunter	x1
Son of Sparda	x1.7
MUST DIE	x2.25
Heaven or Hell	x0.1
Hell and Hell	x3
