To raise ranking you want to beat the Ex OP maps 1-5, 2-5, maybe 5-5. You get a bit of HQ xp for everything but most of it comes from beating boss nodes. clearing 1-5 is a good way to raise HQ and rank for newer players since it gives useful SS drops as well.

I would not recommend going for rankings as this point. High HQ makes event maps and EX OP tougher. You are better off farming XP at 3-2 and using your resources for development.
