Slayer Rankings

On this wiki, every character has a Slayer Ranking. This ranking allows people to get a general idea of what your character's combat power is. The higher the number, the stronger the character. A Slayer's Ranking is based on the following formula:

* Character Level \* (((Strength + Speed) + (Battles Won \* Hours Trained)) / 2)
* Ex: A level 50 character with 500 Strength/Speed, 10 Won Battles, and 100 Hours Trained, would look like the following: 50 (((500 + 500) + (10 \* 100)) / 2 = 50,000 Ranking

Increasing your Slayer Ranking will allow you to unlock more powerful abilities as well as partake in higher level missions, granting your character better rewards.
