• Rank 2: Complete five matches at rank 1
• Rank 3: Complete five matches at rank 2
• Rank 4: Complete five matches at rank 3
• Rank 5: Win five rank 4 matches
• Rank 6: Win five rank 5 matches
• Rank 7: Win five rank 6 matches
• Rank 8: Achieve a combat score of 1800 or higher
• Rank 9: Achieve a combat score of 2100 or higher
• Rank 10: Achieve a combat score of 2700 or higher

From rank 8, your combat score increases with each victory and decreases with each defeat. In addition, your opponents will at this stage have a combat score similar to yours. You would have understood it, the last three rows will therefore be much more difficult to reach.
