r = b + floor(f / 5)
r = b + floor((f - 1) / 4)


r: rank of floor f
r: rank of floor f
b: base rank of grotto, where K = 1 ... S = 12
b: base rank of grotto, where K = 1 ... C = 9
f: floor number
f: floor number
Note that floor() is the mathematical floor function.

floor 1 rank = C (9) + floor(1 / 5) = C (9)
floor 1 rank = C (9) + floor(0 / 4) = C (9)

floor 5 rank = C (9) + floor(5 / 5) = B (10)
floor 5 rank = C (9) + floor(4 / 4) = B (10)

floor 10 rank = C (9) + floor(10 / 5) = A (11)

floor 15 rank = C (9) + floor(15 / 5) = S (12)
floor 13 rank = C (9) + floor(12 / 4) = S (12)

Therefore, rank S (12) is the highest any grotto can contain, and can only appear on the 15th and 16th floors. Also note that not all monsters within a particular rank may appear on a floor. Which monsters within the rank appear and their frequency is determined randomly. This fact is tied to the popularity of the [[Masayuki map]], as it contains a floor where only [[metal king slime|Metal King Slimes]] appear.
