I'm currently playing dmc V, now on mission 12, and I'm really enjoying it.
Now that I've gotten a bit better at the game, I'm trying to go back to previous missions to have fun and trying to raise the score, and I'm having a hard time.
I'm wondering how the ranking system works. I get that you need to have more stylish points, and that requires having high points in all of your combats, but what are the thresholds ? Is it constant between missions ? Is 5k the score for S rank ?
Also how the fuck to I not get swallowed by Goliath ?

The ranking system is really fucking stupid in DMC5 for some reason.
Instead of ranking a total lump sum of style points it counts your total stylish ranking on individual fights. Meaning it's better to avoid some fights with weak enemies since they won't have enough health to build up your style meter.

I don't know how rankings works but for other stuff:
-It's better to replay old missions after finishing the game once because you get some really neat stuff right at the end of the game, which will help you
-As for the Goliath, just run away from him, and if he swallows you just explode your breaker to get away with no damage

>I'm wondering how the ranking system works
It averages your scores from each battle, although your scores vs bosses seem to get enhanced. Additionally, you get a 1.2x bonus for no continues and a 2x bonus for no damage. If you get no damage, you're almost guaranteed an S rank.
>what are the thresholds ? Is it constant between missions ?
It's consistent between missions, but dependent on difficulty. Human is 4000, DH 5000, SoS 5500, DMD 6000.

You can detonate your arm and it'll let you escape. Alternatively, you can run out of the building as soon as he breaks the wall and avoid the first one entirely. Then you'll have more room to dodge when you're outside.

Yes, I always skip the small groups of trash mobs. Except on DMD where they have 8x HP some of the groups are big and easy enough that you can get high scores on them.
Sebastian Brown
This, also for better ranking as Dante you can just abuse RG for as long as possible

So I should just run past ennemies when I can and focus on the mandatory fights ?

Anyone got the list of encounters for BP?

Depends. Look how big the group is and what the enemies are. If its mostly Hell Cainas, then they are great for juggling and getting to S-rank fast. If it's mostly regular Empusas, then skip it. They die way too fast, even on DMD. Red Empusas are good combo bait, however. Riots are the absolute best (for me at least) as they are decently bulky but very easy to juggle
Also, make sure to get your rank up before you use really heavy attacks on trash mobs, as they'll die too fast. Air taunt when you can, too.
Parker Morris
>you can air taunt
Welp. Thanks user. I... didn't know that.
Thomas Bell
And one thing I didn't learn till I hit DMD is that Nero can Max-Act during his air taunt. Rev the Red Queen as soon as his feet hit the blade during the taunt. It makes his air taunt one of the best moves in the game.

I love Dante
Elijah Ward
Dante’s way harder than the other two characters. Except I find his Vergil fight easier to S-rank than Nero’s, thanks to Royal Guard.
Jose King
You can also Max-Act with Nero's air taunt.
Connor Gray
They're super fucking good too, Nero's functions as one of his like five ways to extend your jump, Dante's throws a rose that stuns whoever it hits and V's is just fly as fuck.

So Vergil was turned into Nelo Angelo right away after his defeat? I somehow though him being tortured was mentioned in BtN.
