Tekken 7 offline ranking system

There are two separate ranks awarded to players in Tekken 7, one is for offline play based on your performance in the game’s offline content such as: B. Story Mode, Treasure Battle and Arcade. You start with 1st kyu and with each win your rank increases until you reach 1st dan. The only way to level up from here is Treasure Battle mode, and given enough time, you can reach Tekken God Prime rank. However, there is not much gain in leveling up in this mode and your rank will not carry over to online play. Use this to practice and improve your skills before taking on the other players in the online matches.

Tekken 7’s online ranking system

Tekken 7 uses a points-based system for its online leaderboard, and as players battle opponents, they gain or lose points depending on the outcome. The number of points you earn and lose depends on your opponent’s rank, which means that you have the best chance of earning more points when fighting players who are closer to your rank. For example, players who fight someone of the same rank get the most points, but on the other hand lose more points if they lose the match. The further you are from your opponent in rank, the less points you get and lose for the game. Once you’ve accumulated enough points, you’ll be put into a promotional match that will increase your rank if you win. Alternatively, if you lose enough points, you must win a demotion match or your rank will drop. You can follow your level thanks to a gauge that shows your progress towards ranking up or down.

If you want to rank up quickly, you can adjust the range and skill of the opponents you face off and set this to players of the same rank or higher or lower rank for faster progression.

Ranks: Initiate, Mentor, Expert, Grandmaster

Tier Ranks: Vanquisher, Destroyer, Savior, Overlord

Levels: Mighty Ruler, Revered Ruler, Divine Ruler, Eternal Ruler

blue level

Tier Ranks: Fujin, Raijin, Yaksa, Ryujin

Players at this rank are often pro players seen in big tournaments like EVO and have often earned this rank for the lucky few.

Tier Ranks: Tekken God, True Tekken God, Tekken God Prime, Tekken God Omega
