How to increase Hero Rank in Fortnite Chapter 6 season 3

Your Hero Rank resets every match in Fortnite, and you have to try to increase it every time you play. Starting at Rank C, every player can increase their rank to S+ and gain plenty of benefits along the way. There are a few ways to increase your Hero Rank, from eliminating players to interacting with Sprite Shrines and Scout Spires. The easiest way to get to S+ rank is to survive Storm phases, deliver Sprites to Shrines, destroy Spires, and eliminate guards.
