Rank
Each playable character has a default Rank that they will be at when obtained. In addition to this, a character can also increase their Rank with enough Inver-Shards, through a process called Evolution. In addition to raising a character's Rank, Evolution causes a character's stats to rise. With each Rank beyond S-Rank, characters gain access to more Skills.
Note: Evolution does NOT change a character's Frame (ie. Liv: Eclipse can never Evolve into Liv: Lux as they are completely separate units).
B-Rank
This Rank is available only to three characters at the beginning of the game. There is no way to guarantee B-Rank characters from R&D banners. It is possible to farm Inver-Shards for these characters in their respective Interlude Challenge Modes.
