While you can earn monster-named coins for simply defeating the monster in question during the quest, to further earn Pinnacle Coins, you need to put on your best performance. Completed battles in the Arena are ranked by the time spent attacking and vanquishing the monster, from C-Rank up to A-Rank.
The higher your time rank, the better rewards you receive, including greater amounts of coins. However, similar to regular open-world quests, fainting can still impact your rewards, so it’s important to be mindful of that.
