Challenger Carpbenny divided the 1,191 rankers who reached the 23rd floor Duel Tower into three categories.

1st Place (SSS+) 13 people, 14th Place (SSS) 78 people, 92nd Place (SSS-) 131 people. These 222 were the high rankers.

223rd Place (SS+) 267 people, 490th place (SS) 414 people, 904th place (SS-) 188 people. These 869 people were normal rankers.
