 In this formula, ''base'' is the default enemy HP. Note that changing rank will not update the HP values of any enemies on screen, only new enemies that spawn under the new rank value.
-What this means in practice is that enemy HP scales linearly from x1-x3 of the base HP value as the absolute rank decreases and rank% increases. When rank reaches half of a 24-bit integer, 0x800000, this scaling is x2, doubling enemy HP.

+What this means in practice is that enemy HP scales linearly from x1-x3 of the base HP value as the absolute rank decreases and rank% increases. Enemies will spawn with their base HP value when rank is the maximum value of a 24-bit integer, 0xFFFFFF. However, the default rank value (i.e. 0.0%) is 0xF00000 so the base HP values are never actually encountered during gameplay. When rank reaches half of a 24-bit integer, 0x800000, this scaling is x2 and enemies spawn with double their base HP. If rank were to reach the minimum value of a 24-bit integer, 0x0, the scaling would be x3 and enemies would spawn with triple their base HP. However, the minimum rank value (i.e. 100.0%) is 0x200000 so enemies with triple HP are also never encountered. (Setting the DIP switch to "hardest" will lower the minimum rank to 0x80000, but since this is considerably greater than 0x0 enemies will still spawn with less than triple HP.)
