Tips to Get S Rank
Focus on combat-related criteria instead of clear time.
If you are aiming to S Rank a quest, try to focus on criteria such as Max Combo Count, Divine Arts Count, and Einherjar Summon Count. The last two, in particular, will earn you massive points if you can consistently execute them in battle.
Clear Time, meanwhile, will not significantly affect your score at the end of the quest so do not worry too much about defeating enemies as fast as possible.
Go for “no death” clears.
Each time you are knocked out, a hefty deduction of 1,000 points is applied to your final score at the end of the quest. For getting S Ranks, just redo the level by exiting to the quest menu and starting from the beginning.
Use Heal Divine Art to recover HP instead of Elixirs.
Since using an item will deduct 100 points from your score, you should only recover HP using the Heal Divine Art. It is, however, recommended to do this sparingly as you will want to save your Arts gauge for offensive moves instead.
