Class Rank - How To Increase & Raise
Farm CP For Class Rank
Defeat Monsters Especially Elite & Unique
To increase the Class Rank, you need to accumulate CP, which is used for raising the Class Rank. Since you can get CP in the same way as EXP, defeat monsters with Chain Attack Overkill to accumulate CP. Defeating elite & unique can give you more CP than regular ones.

CP Differs For Each Class
The compatibility between characters & classes is ranked from S to D, with S being the most compatible, and better compatibility increases the CP you can get. On the other hand, having low compatibility decreases the CP you can earn. With that said, consider the compatibility of the characters & classes to be able to acquire the maximum CP available.
