For the S Rank you need 10000 BP You always get the 4000 kill. No damage is for 2000. Known Time to BP (Rounded to nearest 5) Time under 3:00 is 2000 Time under 3:45 is 1800 Time under 4:30 is 1500 Time under 5:30 is 1200 Time under 6:30(Unsure on range but somewhere between 6:30 and 8:00) is 1000. Estimated Time to BP Time under 3:00 is 2000. Time under 4:00 is 1800 Time under 5:00 is 1500 Time under 6:00 is 1200 Time under 7:00 is 1000 BP Values I Tested KEY: BP = End of Combat BP 200-369 = 1000 570-595 = 1200 600-790 = 1500 955 = 1800 1000 = 2000 Estimated BP Chart KEY: BP = End of Combat BP 200-399 = 1000 400-599 = 1200 600-799 = 1500 800-999 = 1800 1000 = 2000 Longest Combo I Tested KEY: Hits = End of Combat BP 10-18 = 1000 20-28 = 1200 30-38 = 1500 40-41 = 1800 47 = 1900 50 = 2000 Estimated Longest Combo Chart KEY: Hits = End of Combat BP 10-19 = 1000 20-29 = 1200 30-39 = 1500 40-45 = 1800 46-49 = 1900 (WHYYY DOES THIS HAVE 1900) 50 = 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam Strategy: Sam himself is quite easy and you do not need to do my setup at the start for BP I only did it as I did not know how the conditions for s rank work in this fight. To start go for parries where my particular setup is parry 1 in ripper mode, parry 2 in normal mode and parry 3 in ripper mode. This eats into his 2nd phase health bar meaning you have to deal with it less (Triggers at around 68%). Then when Sam wanted to transition and it tried to make me slice his arm I just blade mode and cancel then hit him for the longest combo reward (You only need 50 for the max 2000 BP). Then around 44% you can transition if you want to and then just jump over hit attack and hit him to around 42-40% where he should transition to his last phase. You can also just not transition him and just make him go to the last phase. For the last phase I just melee fight him but if you hit him and he does the stagger animation after 2 heavy lights you should back off as he can do the rock throw attack which just hits you if you are close (It is reactable and you can jump over him but the animation looks similar to his attacks). Also after he does the jump in attack or the one where he drags his sword in the floor he can do melee strings and if you are lucky you can parry them for a hit but he does love dodging in this phase so it will miss more often than not. At around 10% he should do his qte to finish. You can skip some requirements for the fight but only 2000bp points worth. So if you do not no damage you have to max out everything else or if you do not get any time bp you need to max out the other categories and get no damage. 0:00 Samuel Rodrigues (Ranked)
