The meter uses a checkpoint/tier system, ensuring steady progression even if you lose a few matches in a row. With each victory, you’ll earn a Drive Score that equals ten times the Skill Rank percentage gained from that match, while losses will reduce your score by five times that amount. Keep this in mind when aiming for Drive points.
