Due to the nature of its lore, has a somewhat confusing tier system. All of its playable characters are monster hunters who operate within the confines of an official, ranked system, so each of them is assigned to a particular strata in the popular anime and manhwa the game is based on.

This industry sorts Hunters into ranks based on the strength of their powers, using a standard system in which the S-rank represents the strongest Hunters, and the E-rank the weakest Hunters. Rankings affect how much each Hunter is paid, as well as what kind of jobs they're called up for. Most Hunters fall into the lower tiers, as the kinds of powers that necessitate an S or A ranking are uncommon.
Normally, each Hunter only awakens to their powers once, at which point they're permitted to test for a license. It's at this point that they're assigned a fixed rank; most Hunters remain at the same rank for their entire lives. Some Hunters undergo reawakenings, in which they discover powers they were previously unaware of, or find that their pre-existing powers were stronger than they previously thought. In these cases, they can go up in rank — but reawakenings are exceptionally rare.
