Chapter Rankings:

There are five ranking tiers: NINJA DOG, LESSER NINJA, GREATER NINJA, HEAD NINJA, and MASTER NINJA. The ranking is determined by several factors:

• CHAPTER TIME LIMIT: Completing chapters quickly is crucial, especially on harder difficulties. Some chapters may offer a high ranking for exceeding the time limit if enough kills are achieved.
• # OF KILLS: Certain chapters require a specific number of kills to achieve the highest ranking, even if completed quickly. Finishing enemy ambushes can help boost kill counts.
• UNUSED NINPO: Finishing a chapter with all Ninpo slots full contributes to a high score.
• ESSENCE COLLECTED: Ending a chapter with a large amount of unused Yellow Essence can improve your ranking. Using Essence at Muramasa's Statue counts against your score.
