Rank

A Rank is an indicator that is exclusive to Exceed Monsters, used in place of a Level. It is indicated by a number of stars, similar to a Level; however, they are aligned at the left side of the card, and are depicted by a yellow star on a black circle. The Rank of an Exceed Monster is the same as the Level of its Exceed Material Monsters.

An Exceed Monster's Rank is not its Level. Exceed Monsters do not have a Level. Therefore, they cannot be used for Synchro, Ritual, or Exceed Summons, and any effects that would refer to the Level of a monster, such as those of "Gravity Bind", "Level Limit - Area B", and even "Burden of the Mighty" cannot be applied to an Exceed Monster under any circumstances.
