'Final Fantasy 15' Report Card: Finesse, Time, Offense And EXP Bonus Explained

While many of us have had more than our fair share of epic battles in Final Fantasy 15, the triple A+ is still few and far between in our Battle Report Card.

The Report Card is broken down to three parameters: Time, Finesse, and Offense. Time is straightforward – the shorter the battle, the higher the grade.

Offense depends on the proportion of enemies defeated during an encounter. Offense is mostly the easiest grade to earn – as long as you don’t flee from a battle, you’ll achieve the maximum Offense grade.

For most players that prefer a hack and slash playstyle, finesse can get a little tricky. Your finesse score is based on the number of Blindsides and Parries performed during battle. Blindsides count for Stealth while Parries count towards defense.

While each enemy a player defeats will reward a fixed EXP, a high report card in Defense, Stealth and Offense will reward players with an additional bonus that maxes out at 0.4, or 40 percent. The Report Card Breakdown is as follows:
