Criteria for Ranking S-Ranks

Evaluated Based on Traits, Stats, and Talents

Monster rankings for S-Ranks are based on three points: traits, stats, and talents.

Large emphasis is placed on traits, since these, while can also hard to obtain due to being nonhereditary from synthesis, can directly affect a monster's performance, and have a large impact to the outcome of the battle.

Higher Ranking with Ease of Use

If a monster is easy to use immediately, or has good charcteristics early on when obtained, they are ranked even higher since you can have them work more with a combination of teams.

Ranking is Based on S Size Only

Take note that the L Size monsters are not considered. Monsters that are weak in S-size but strong in L-size may still have different or lower ratings.
