Rank Criteria

Rank Criteria

DMC3 Rank Evaluation is much more complex than it's previous predecessor. Because the crtierias for each missions varies ⁽¹⁾ on each categories including the diffculities ⁽²⁾ :

The rank in M2 goes down if time exceeded past it's requirement by 20s.
M3 rank goes down if the time exceeded past it's requirement by 2m.

This game has SS Rank which is the Rank players get when they receive an S at the end of mission Results screen in all of the following 5 categories; Time, Orbs, Style, Damage, and Items.

isn't displayed until you go into the Total Rankings screen.

The higher the difficulty, the stricter the requirements are. As a result, the most challenging task to take on in DMC3 that's documented in the game is completing Dante/Vergil Must Die mode with SS Ranks.

End Mission Style Calculation Formula

This formula was investigated by a Japanese player ⁽³⁾

X +｛ E（1,000 − X）+ D（2,000 - X）+ C（3,000 - X）+ B（4,000 - X）
　　 + A（5,000 - X）+ S（6,000 - X）+ SS（7,000 - X）+ SSS（8,000 - X）｝ / y

E - A, S - SSS = Damage inflicted on the enemy by combo rank
X = Average of rank values for attacks on the enemy throughout the mission
E = 1000, D=2000…. .SSS=8000
Y = Total damage inflicted on the enemy throughout the mission

Vital Star S	200
Vital Star L	400
Devil Star	200

Devil Hunter Rank Criteria

The Overall Criteria works the same way as DMC2. Although, different values and continuing won't lower your rank ⁽⁵⁾

1) For each category, translate your rank letter to point
Rank	Point
S	5
A	4
B	3
C	2
D	1

2) Add points to convert into the final rank and orb reward
Total points	Rank	Orb reward
24 - 23	S	5,000
22 - 18	A	3,000
17 - 13	B	2,000
12 - 8	C	1,000
7 - 5	D	500

Requirements per Mission

To get the desired rank per criteria, you must meet within requirement shown. For example, in Mission 1 - Normal if your time score is less than 1:40 you will get S rank.
