Cover form a platform

First Post
I'm searching what would be the cover of a creature that is on a platform of about 10ft. Is it like +2 or +5?? The PHB and DMG just talk about walls and corners but nothing from platform.

Thanks

Use the same cover rules as presented in the PHB, just translate them into the vertical. It might help to draw out a side-view of the arrangement.

At a guess, I'd say it probably works out to no cover from a target more than 2 squares away, cover from a target two squares away, and superior cover for someone adjacent to the platform's edge.
 

If a creature is not on the edge of the cliff. For example:
1 square off the edge would it be +2
2 squares like +5
3 squares can't see??

Would that work if the creature attacking from down the platform is like 5 squares away from the platform?
