It may look like VP is based off of total AP used. Most of the daemons (decent ones that you'll use for attack) have a similar ratio of Attack/SP when max leveled. We've verified that the total VP reward is tied to the attack level when the battle ends. You'll see that if you get alot of skill activations in your attack. Interestingly, it's not affected by the enemy's defense or their defensive skills (unless you lose).

This is why the Kotetsu method was so good. His A/SP ratio is better than average before the skill activates. Placed as the leader, he's good for ~50% activation and when the skill activated, that boosted the VP reward.
