Rank increases game difficulty but also increases the score multiplier, shown directly beneath the rank display.

Rank increases by 1 whenever a Swap Item is collected while in Power Up, and maxes at 50 with a multiplier of x9.0.

 General strategy notes are as follows:
 * Close kill wherever possible, using Blow to get up close to larger enemies and bosses right before they're destroyed
 * While in Power Up, allow enemies to fill the screen with bullets before killing them for bigger medal cancels

 === Strategy ===
-On top of close killing and raising rank, the primary goal of score-oriented play in Senjin Aleste is to maximize time spent in Power Up while minimizing the amount of separate Power Up activations in order to have your medal count cut as few times as possible. This is accomplished by aiming to collect Swap Items primarily while in Power Up, which also has the benefit of increasing rank. A Swap Item can also be allowed to sit onscreen for a time before collecting it, so the next Swap Item spawn will occur sooner into Power Up activation to extend it.
