Having better cards doesnt always translate to better ranking, you still need to pour resource like swords/shoe into ranks and you can get those for free. There are many free cards that enable you to rank.

For regular events, there are recently reissued multihitter Gilgamesh for passion ehall and theres even Rapier Master from allience for light. They had been giving out free salvo, buffer, unleasher like every events and in legendary summons. You can exchange for fujisan for the awaken burst or slap custom skill on a LR to make a proper ehall team. You really just got to spend shoes to grind those keys.

ABB, all you need is an AOE team. You still need to rod and thats how much rod you saved up or how many jewels you want to spend.

Tower the rank is definitely harder, however if you had gather enough turns skippers and unleashers you should do fine, and they give those skills out like candy. Besides that was what everyone had used during the first few towers, untill we got enough multihitters. So use your crystals accordingly should at least get you to rank 2k, also rank 2k reward is a big help for ranking regular events.

You will not be staying in low rank if you play smart and save up enough resource to get t500. Over time you should snowball enough cards to help you rank easier and get easier each time after ranking. Also they are nice enough to give you Legendary, and LR chance tickets to get good cards, albeit with some luck. Of course all this takes time, if you expect to be able to rank 2 months in the game then this is probably not a game for you.
