Tier List Ranking Criteria
Many of the UR-rarity pilots in Gundam U.C. Engage have signature mobile suits, while some don't. These are represented by the pilots' skills that mesh perfectly with the right mobile suits, but only partially with others. This is why we ranked the UR pilots according to the buffs they provide, how potent their buffs are, how good they are in their signature mobile suit, how good their signature MS is, and whether they have certain caveats that players should pay attention to when they use them.
Their versatility and effectiveness in a variety of mobile suits are also taken into consideration, though this is valued less since it's almost always more ideal to have a mobile suit's signature pilot paired with it.
Due to the sheer volume of UR-rarity pilots in the game, we excluded the ones that are least impactful in order to keep the tier list precise, less cluttered, and more reflective of the actual meta.
Tier List Ranks Explained
Tier List Placement Explanation
| Pilot / Best MS | Description |
|---|---|
 Magna Martell (Awaken) | • Celine Rom is not by any means a versatile pilot, but the signature duo's impact in both Arena and PvE carries her tier list ranking all the way up to SS-tier. • Her specialized buffs aren't very impactful in other mobile suits, as they are either too small or activate only when below 50% HP, but take the Awakened Magna Martell's performance to a whole new level. |
 Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (NT-D) | • Banagher and his signature PF NT-D perform exceptionally well against teams with multiple Psycho-Frame Type enemies, or against Jammed targets. Banagher greatly influences the PF NT-D's damage output by boosting its ranged sense, crit rate, and accuracy. • This version of Banagher provides sizable offensive buffs to all Unicorn Gundam variants. |
 Victory 2 Assault Gundam | • Uso is an excellent pilot, especially for his signature V2A. Uso grants his MS tons of ranged sense, as well as a ramping accuracy buff that caps out at 60%, making his 25-second peak that much deadlier • He's also a great substitute pilot for Red-type Generic units, granting them up to 300% in stacking ranged sense buffs, and more if applicable. |
 Theta Plus (Sniper) | • Saphira Gardner is the Sniper Theta Plus' signature pilot with buffs that grant her powerful signature MS 312% ranged sense and 26% more EX damage, along with some accuracy too. • Saphira also works as a good substitute pilot for any High Firepower Prototype mobile suit, which plenty of meta units fall under. |
 Sinanju (Generic) | • Full Frontal is the Generic Sinanju's signature pilot who boasts over 500% ranged sense when you add up all his buffs, on top of 32% added crit rate, dramatically boosting its offensive power. • Outside of his signature Sinanju, he'll do alright as a substitute pilot for variants of the Nu Gundam, Sazabi, or Gottrlatan. |
 Geymalk | • The Geymalk has emerged to be one of the best DPS units for PvE, and Chara Soon deserves plenty of the spotlight as well. With her buffs, she grants the Geymalk a maximum of 582% ranged sense, on top of 20% accuracy, dramatically improving its offensive output. • Outside the Geymalk, Chara does a decent job piloting mobile suits with both the Newtype Machine and High Firepower unit category tags. |
 Gundam F91 (Full Power) | • Proud pilot of the clear-cut best of the Taunt tanks, Seabook not only improves his MS' damage output, he also makes it even harder to destroy with his evasion and reaction buffs. The duo works extremely well together since plenty of his buffs are activated on evading, and the F91 is arguably the best evasive unit in the game. • Unfortunately, Seabook isn't a very good pilot outside his signature MS, and is carried this high up the list by how good his signature MS is. |
 The-O (Purple) | • The Purple-type version of The-O, commonly referred to as Purple-O, has become the best unit in the game right when it was released. However, it doesn't function well without its signature pilot, Paptimus Scirocco, since its Lethal EX skill's AoE damage scales with ranged sense, which not a lot of guard-oriented tank pilots have. • With Paptimus aboard, not only does it get even harder to kill due to the added guard rate and defenses, but The-O also starts becoming an AoE DPS machine thanks to the pilot's huge ranged sense buffs. |
 Crossbone Gundam X2 | • The Crossbone Gundam X2 is an excellent pick in PvE because one of its worst matchups, The-O (Purple), isn't very common there. Tobia Arronax grants this MS buffs worth 268% melee sense and 22% evasion, further improving both damage output and survivability against • Tobia Arronax isn't a very good pilot outside his signature MS, and is carried this high up the list by how good his signature MS is. |
 Methuss (UR) | • Fa Yuiry is extremely valuable on her signature Methuss as she grants it buffs that increase the amount it can heal by 20%. Unlike the other interchangeable Support pilots, Fa is a must-have for her extremely powerful Blue-type healer/resurrector. • If you don't have the Methuss, Fa would still be useful on any Support unit given her EX gauge recovery buff. |
 Quin Mantha | • Ple-Two grants both offensive and defensive buffs to her signature Quin Mantha. She's a must-have pilot for the Quin Mantha as bruisers need both strong firepower and the ability to tank damage, which Ple-Two provides. • Ple-Two is also a solid offensive substitute pilot for High Firepower Newtype Machines like the Geymalk and a decent substitute Armored MS pilot. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
 Unicorn Gundam NT-D (White Unicorn) | • Banagher Links gives his White Unicorn 288% more ranged sense, along with some accuracy as well, giving it a good offensive boost along with some anti-evasion properties. • As a substitute pilot, Banagher Links does well in pretty much any ranged-oriented Unicorn Gundam variant. |
 Todesritter | • Chloe is a great offensive-minded pilot and really elevates the Todesritter's offensive and anti-Newtype capabilities. • She's not quite as good a substitute pilot for other units, but she can find some value as a pilot for Neo Zeon-Affiliated mobile suits, granting them up to 150% ranged sense through her stacking buff. |
 Narrative Gundam B-Packs | • Jona Basta is an essential pilot to the Narrative Gundam B-Packs, one of the best PvE Supports in the game. His unparalleled EX gauge recovery buffs provide the B-Packs with maximum EX skill buff uptime, increasing his allied Sniper and Generic units' damage cap and overall damage output. |
 Palace Athene | • Reccoa grants her Palace Athene huge amounts of ranged sense, crit rate, and some critical ATK, greatly increasing its firepower. This duo is a great pick for PvE, especially since its biggest counter pick, the FAZZ, is rarely found in PvE. • Without her Palace Athene, Reccoa doesn't really do well as a substitute pilot. She can find some value on the Sisquiede Titans Color by granting her crit rate and ranged sense |
 Rozen Zulu | • Angelo Sauper is the Rozen Zulu's signature pilot who grants it good amounts of ranged and melee sense, and crit ATK buffs, along with 26% crit rate as well, which are all integral parts of the Rozen Zulu's kit. He is a must-have pilot for one of the game's premier crit units, automatically making him an S-tier pilot. • As a substitute pilot, Angelo Sauper does fairly well in any Successor Units that deal plenty of crit damage. |
 Zeta Gundam (Waverider) | • While the Zeta Waverider surely is one of the best DPS units out there, this version of Kamille Bidan isn't as necessary as other signature pilots since all he really grants is over 300% ranged sense, some accuracy, and some evasion. • While Kamille's buffs aren't low by any means, there just happen to be other pilots who grant similar buffs, allowing players to find success with the Zeta without Kamille. |
 Alex (Chobham Armor) | • Christina Mackenzie grants buffs to the Alex worth 20% more HP and 90% resistance. Having her on board allows Alex to take more damage, as well as increases the likelihood of it healing. The longer it stays in battle, the more damage it'll reflect back at opponents. • Outside her signature MS, Christina also thrives in the FAZZ, and is an alright substitute pilot for other Armored units. |
 Kshatriya Repaired | • The Repaired Kshatriya is a very good offensive utility/DPS hybrid, and Marida Cruz is responsible for significantly increasing both its ranged and melee damage output by way of buffs to ranged sense, melee sense, and crit rate. • What prevents this pilot from going into the SS-tier is how her signature MS suffers from a lack of any defensive skills, making it very easy to deal with once it draws aggro. |
 Nu Gundam HWS | • Another must-have bruiser pilot, Amuro is able to bolster the Nu Gundam HWS' defense while also increasing its firepower. On top of already solid offensive buffs, Amuro grants even more ranged sense and accuracy against Rival Units. • Amuro is also a solid pilot outside of his MS, being able to pilot Armored Gundams and Psycho-Frame Type units at an acceptable rate. |
 Ple's Qubeley Mk-II (Red) | • Elpeo Ple shines in her signature Qubeley Mk-II as she grants the necessary ranged sense buffs to make it a respectable damage dealer (for a support), on top of further increasing her EX gauge recovery by 36%. • Outside of it, Ple is a solid pilot for any High Firepower Generic unit, or any Support mobile suit. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
| Gundam F91 (Full Power) | • Chloe is actually a really good pilot for her signature MS, given that she could grant a maximum of 415% ranged sense. Unfortunately, the Pale Rider just isn't good anymore as its buffs are too simplistic and don't amount to much. • Luckily, the condition for her 415% ranged sense buff requires the MS to be Limiter Override with evasion to get the stacks, which the Gundam F91 (Full Power) falls under. |
 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG) + Flying Armor | • Unlike most of the other units in this tier, Riddhe is actually a good pilot, whereas his signature MS (Delta Plus) is terrible. His stacking ranged sense on dealing damage buff that maxes out at 210% is granted to all Red-type units, making him usable in any Red-type ranged unit like the Gundam Mk-II (AEUG) + Flying Armor, Gundam GP04, and even the Awakened Magna Martell. • The only downside is that his MS needs to deal damage to stack his buff, so he may not do as well in mobile suits with low hit-count weapons like the Psycho Zaku. |
 Sazabi ［THE LIFE-SIZED v Gundam STATUE］ | • Rakan is a cut above the rest of the Support pilots. On top of granting the standard 18% EX gauge recovery speed to Support units, Rakan also grants Commander and High Firepower DPS units two 12% stacking ranged sense buffs that each max out at 120% for a total of 240%. • Notable mobile suits that Rakan can do fairly well in are the Yellow Sazabi, Awakened Magna Martell, Zanneck, Baund Doc, Zeong, etc. |
 Phenex (NT Version) | • It may have been a long time since the release of Phenex and Jona Basta, but this duo is still definitely relevant in PvE, particularly in Raid and Coop battles, especially if the enemy unit is a Psycho-Frame Type unit. Jona's buffs give the Phenex a good boost in power, which is very nice for a unit whose main purpose is to debuff. • Unfortunately, this version of Jona isn't a very good substitute pilot for mobile suits outside the Phenex. |
 Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon | • Johnny Ridden pilots one of the best Bombardment mobile suits of the older generation, his Gelgoog Cannon. He grants it a good chunk of ranged sense, high amounts of accuracy, and even more ranged sense against Stunned targets. • Johnny Ridden's value as a substitute PvE pilot is much better than in PvP, since he can be used as an accuracy-boosting pilot for high evasion PvE enemies. |
 Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) | • Amuro Ray's Moon Gundam version serves a nearly identical role to the Theta Plus' Riddhe Marcenas, granting the same stacking ranged sense buff on dealing damage, but is granted to Purple-type units. • His Modified Rick Dijeh isn't very good, but he's one of, if not the best, substitute pilots for certain ranged Purple-type DPS units. |
| Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) | • Another signature pilot of a mobile suit that isn't very good, Kincade grants a total of up to 357% ranged sense, and grants buffs to White Mobile Suit, Commander Unit, Gundam-Type, and Prototype units, unit category tags that are often found together. If you need a pilot for one of your Gundam-Type mobile suits, check out its tags and see if it’s compatible with Kincade Nau. |
 Nu Gundam (Green) | • Ple-Two is similar to Theta Plus Riddhe and Moon Gundam Amuro, granting a stacking ranged sense buff on dealing damage that maxes out at 210%. Ple-Two grants this specialist buff to Green-type mobile suits. • Because of this buff, Ple-Two is a very good substitute pilot for any ranged Green-type DPS unit. |
| Sazabi ［THE LIFE-SIZED v Gundam STATUE］ | • A good pilot for Yellow Generic mobile suits, as he can give them up to 150% melee and ranged sense buffs. • He gets a lot better, however, when he pilots the Yellow Sazabi (or other potential Yellow Generics with the "Rival Unit" and "Red Mobile Suit" categories, as Char gives the suit an additional 150% melee and ranged sense buff). This works particularly well for the Yellow Sazabi, since it heals itself by dealing damage. |
 Gottrlatan | • Katejina is another specialist pilot who excels alongside her signature mobile suit, the Gottrlatan. Her evasion, ranged sense, and melee sense buffs go exceptionally well alongside the EX spamming powerhouse. • Unfortunately, she lacks the versatility to be a good substitute pilot, though she'll be great as a substitute pilot for the Zanneck, as it's able to benefit from Katejina's most powerful buffs. |
| Nu Gundam (Green) | • While the Green Nu's damage output can no longer compete with the game's top-tier DPS units, this duo is still very effective in PvE situations that call for a healer, or as a solid filler option for when you don't have anything better to put in your team. Amuro's evasion, ranged sense, and melee sense buffs are essential in increasing the Green Nu's combat effectiveness. • This version of Amuro is also a good substitute pilot for EFF-Affiliated Generic type units, granting them 300% ranged sense through his stacking on dealing damage buffs. |
 Gedlav | • Katejina Loos' value as a pilot lies not with her versatility, but with her signature Gedlav. Together, the duo can benefit from the entire 230% ranged sense for most of the battle, especially since the Gedlav's gimmick is that it takes 99% decreased damage when above 90% max HP. • As a substitute pilot, however, Katejina isn't very good since it's hard to find a good mobile suit to make use of her buffs, since the larger buffs disappear once at or below 90% HP, and she doesn't provide that much to begin with anyway. |
 Gundam + G-Fighter | • The Awakened Yonfavin isn't very impressive, but Peche definitely is. It's hard to find a good mobile suit to make use of her skills, but once you find a High Firepower Prototype Unit that's also able to benefit from multiple of her other 38% ranged sense buffs, she'll be a very strong pilot that can allow her MS to benefit from the full strength of her buffs right when battle begins. • She's a great substitute pilot for the Gundan + G-Fighter, one of the best Sniper units in the game. |
 Sazabi (Purple) | • This version of Char Aznable grants the Purple Sazabi 300% melee sense, 150% ranged sense, along with some evasion and reaction. Together, this duo is a potent yellow-type counter and, overall, a solid PvE pick. • Unfortunately, Char Aznable lacks the versatility to be a good substitute pilot for many units. He'll grant 300% melee sense to Raid units with the Red Mobile Suit unit category tag, like the free Char's Zaku II, but there aren't many units that fall under both tags. |
 Zeong | • This version of Char Aznable excels at granting two big stacking ranged sense buffs (up to 150% each) to Blue-type and Bombardment MSs, especially benefiting units like the S Gundam and G-3 Gundam. • While these units lack high hit-count weapons to fully capitalize on the buffs, Char's position on this tier list is mainly because of how good he is in his Zeong, a duo that has done exceptionally well for quite some time now. |
 Banshee Norn (NT-D) | • Riddhe's huge stacking reaction, ranged sense, and melee sense on evade buffs, as well as his evasion and accuracy buffs, help make the Black Lion a fine frontliner for PvE. This duo is much better here, as it’s easier to strategize on how to get enemies to draw all aggro towards this unit. • Riddhe also isn't a good substitute pilot, considering that his buffs need the MS to evade to activate, which is not a lot of Laplace Incident and Unicorn Gundam variants do. |
 Baund Doc | • The Baund Doc is a very powerful, well-rounded unit, and Jerid improves it even more by giving it tons of ranged sense, good amounts of melee sense, 20% evasion, and 20% accuracy. • Outside of the Baund Doc, Jerid is a decent substitute pilot for the different Sazabi versions, the Gottrlatan, the Dag Doll, and the Qubeley. |
 ZZ-GR | • Judau is both a decent substitute pilot for Armored units, but his signature MS can really make the best out of his skills. The ZZ-GR is able to benefit really well from Judau's buffs to resistances, max HP, and ranged sense. The ZZ-GR being able to heal much more consistently in PvE also helps Judau's ranking on this tier list. • Judau Ashta can be a really good substitute pilot for Armored units, but not all of them. His resistance buffs are stacked on dealing damage, and not on taking damage. That said, Armored units with low hit-count weapons will struggle with getting stacks, and their survivability will take a hit. |
 Full Armor ZZ Gundam | • The FAZZ's dominance can also be credited to Judau, as he grants some of the biggest resistance buffs in the game, while also granting even more guard rate to help it shrug off attacks. While seen by many as a PvP pick, the FAZZ is also a very powerful PvE unit, especially in events where you have to use Blue-type MSs to clear. • Judau isn't quite as flexible as Rick Dom Io and Danton Hyleg, but he can match or even outperform them in MSs who can make use of his resistance buffs. |
| Gundam Mk-II (AEUG) + Flying Armor | • Kamille Bidan is the Gundam Mk-II (AEUG) + Flying Armor's signature pilot, and this duo is a very well-rounded duo for PvE. As a Sniper pilot, Kamille grants a good amount of ranged sense and accuracy against stunned targets. • Outside his signature MS, Kamille is a decent substitute pilot for most Sniper units. |
 RX-78F00 HMT Gundam High Mobility Type | • Amuro makes it to the top of the tier list thanks to the HMT being one of the top Bombardment units in the game. His ranged sense and crit rate buffs are key to the HMT's extremely high damage output. • Outside of his signature MS, he also grants potentially the same amount of ranged sense to Red Bombardment mobile suits like the FAUC NT-D. |
 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (NT-D) | • Banagher Links is sort of the opposite of Celine Rom in the sense that his signature MS isn't necessarily top-tier, but his versatility definitely is. • This version of Banagher grants a stacking ranged sense of up to 300% to Bombardment mobile suits with the High Firepower unit category tag, conditions that are very easy to fulfill. |
 Fafnir | • Sophie Franc is the Fafnir's signature MS, and she enhances both the MS's damage output and defense by granting it great amounts of melee sense, resistances, and reaction. • Outside her signature MS, Sophie is good on other Red Close Combat mobile suits like the Banshee Norn and the Magna Martell, as well as other Close Combat units who have the tags required to get melee sense out of Sophie. |
| Gundam + G-Fighter | • Amuro Ray is the Gundam + G-Fighter's signature pilot, but the best pilot for that unit is Awakened Peche. Despite that, he's still pretty good on his signature MS and grants it up to 234% ranged sense. • Amuro is also quite good as a substitute pilot for all Sniper units, granting them some decent ranged sense buffs along with some accuracy if applicable. |
 Narrative Gundam C-Packs | • The Gundam C-Packs is the game's premier Jamming unit for PvE at the time of writing, but it only jams Psycho-Frame Type units. The reason why it's so good is because of how it also becomes a pretty good damage threat against MSs of this unit category. Jona plays a key role in this, as he grants this MS great amounts of ranged sense, accuracy against Jammed targets, and accuracy against Psycho-Frame Type units. • Outside of his signature MS, Jona sadly isn't a very good pilot for a lot of units. He'll be good in Psycho-Frame Type Phoenix Hunt units, but that combination is rare, and only the Phenex really is able to make use of his buffs. |
 Victory 2 Buster Gundam | • This version of Uso is a must-have pilot for his signature V2B Gundam, as he remedies the Third Weapon accuracy debuff the MS inflicts on itself with his own buff of the same type. This essentially unlocks the MS's most powerful weapon with a 1,000,000 damage cap increase. • Outside of his signature MS, Uso is a very versatile pilot that can do well in any multi-hit ranged MS with 2 of the 3 following tags: Yellow type, Bombardment category, and High Firepower unit category. |
 Nu Gundam (Double Fin Funnels) | • This version of Amuro elevates his Nu DFF by giving it a whopping 392% ranged sense and up to 60% more accuracy, dramatically increasing its offensive power. • Amuro is also an excellent substitute pilot for any Psycho-Frame Type unit from the Second Neo Zeon War by granting them 300% in stacking ranged sense buffs, and more if applicable. That said, he'll perform at an extremely high level in all of the Nu Gundam and Sazabi variants. He might even outperform the signature pilots from the older variants of these units. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
| ZZ-GR | • Danton remains as one of the two most flexible substitute pilots for Armored units in the game (the other one being Io Fleming's Rick Dom version). However, their value has gone down since the best Armored units in the game right now take a significant dip in performance without their signature pilot. • Danton's signature Zaku III Custom isn't really a good mobile suit these days, so his talents are better utilized in meta Armored units that don't rely on guarding or evading. These include the ZZ-GR, as well as the Taunt tanks. |
 Zeta Gundam | • Yellow Zeta's Kamille Bidan only grants 206% ranged sense and some accuracy buffs, which is no longer considered a lot in today's standards. Despite that, he's still a solid pilot for the Zeta Gundam, but it, too, is no longer the powerhouse that it used to be. It's still somewhat usable, though, especially in PvE, and especially if you don't have any better units. • While he used to be a decent substitute pilot for Yellow-type units, Kamille's 114% sadly isn't enough to make him good anymore. |
 S Gundam | • The pilot players should select with their very first UR selector ticket. Nowadays, Roux Louka is still a decent pilot, but she's been power-crept by quite a lot, only being able to grant 185% ranged sense with her abilities. • Her spot in the B-tier is carried by her signature MS's usefulness in the early game. |
 Gundam GP02A | • Gato's resistance and HP buffs make him perfect for the GP02A, as he buys time to let it unleash its EX skill. Unfortunately, with the rise of crit damage and ridiculously high DPS units, the Gato+GP02A combo no longer holds up well, given how likely it is for them to die even before they're able to use their EX skill. • Anavel Gato does not do well as a substitute pilot for other Armored units outside the GP02A. |
 Blue Destiny Unit-1 | • While outshined by the Todesritter and Chloe Croce, Yuu Kajima and his BD-1 are still very good counters to Newtype Machines, barring the Awakened Magna Martell, which this duo cannot land hits on once it enters its second phase. • While the BD-1 has been power-crept, Yuu Kajima has found a niche in PvE as the GM (GR)'s best pilot. |
 Sinanju Stein | • It's rare for low-tiered older pilots to make a comeback, and this is the case for Zoltan Akkanen. The crit rework has improved the value of both the Sinanju Stein and Zoltan himself, especially considering how dominant Generic units have been. • Zoltan grants 13% crit rate to Phoenix Hunt and Rival Units, but none of the Phoenix Hunt units are crit-oriented and just 13% crit is too small. He grants big melee sense on crit to Raid units, but there are only a small amount of Raid units that have crits and those need ranged sense too not just melee. |
 Gundam Ez8 | • Shiro Amada's Ez8 is indeed top-tier in both PvE and PvP. However, Shiro Amada isn't really a necessity, and you can substitute him with any of the other Support pilots who grant 18% EX gauge recovery buffs to their MSs and expect the same results. • You can also put Shiro Amada in any Support MS other than the B-Packs and you will get pretty much the same results. |
 The-O | • While Paptimus and The-O's time at the very top of Arena has ended. This evasive duo still performs at a very high level in PvE, especially when paired alongside the Gyan, or against multiple enemies that target the highest HP unit. • Paptimus is a specialized pilot and won't really do well in too many mobile suits. He can provide evasive Green-type MSs a good amount of ranged sense, but evasive Green-types typically work way better with melee sense. |
 Engage Zero Incom Type | • Another Support pilot, Peche grants Support mobile suits 18% EX gauge restoration, making her more or less interchangeable with the other Support pilots outside of the Jona Basta variant for the Narrative Gundam B-Packs. |
 Titania | • Alma and the Titania are still capable of taking over matches when against enemy units that don't have any means of dealing with high evasion/Absolute Evade. Alma's melee sense buffs and 75% accuracy buff improve the Titania's damage and anti-evasion capabilities. • Alma is a decent substitute pilot for the other Blue-type Close Combat units. |
 Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility | • The Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility's signature pilot, Banagher Links, grants his signature MS 300% ranged sense and 24% accuracy, which is considered a good amount even by today's standards. • He also finds value as a substitute pilot for any ranged-oriented Green-type Generic unit, as his stacking 300% ranged sense buff will grant them good boosts in power. |
| Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) | • Kamille is the Zeta HML's signature pilot, but he isn't the best pilot for that mobile suit. This is because it takes a while for Kamille to activate the full power of his offensive buffs, whereas the HML's true best pilots help it reach higher DPS numbers and at a faster rate, too. • Kamille isn't a bad pilot by any means, and he's a decent pick if you don't have Moon Gundam Amuro or Kincade Nau. As a substitute pilot, Kamille is also usable, but is inferior to the two pilots we just mentioned. |
 Char's Z'Gok | • Another Support pilot, Char grants Support mobile suits 18% EX gauge restoration, making her more or less interchangeable with the other Support pilots outside of B-Packs Jona Basta. |
 Penelope | • Lane Aim is a must-have pilot for the Penelope. While this duo has struggled in Arena for quite a while now, it's still a premier defensive pairing in PvE because crit damage is a lot less common in PvE. Especially when paired with the Gyan and the right sub MSs, Lane's Penelope will keep your enemies preoccupied for a good while. • Lane Aim does not perform well as a substitute pilot for other units. |
 Dag Doll | • Lieuze and the Dag Doll were at the top of the meta when they were released, while their damage output and survivability are no longer top-tier, they're still pretty useful in niche PvE situations, like when you need enemy targets Jammed for the PF NT-D to do its thing. • Lieuze is also borderline unusable on other mobile suits, given that the buffs he grants are specialized and aimed towards attacking Jammed targets, which hurts her tier list ranking too. |
 Engage Zero Yonfavin | • Another Support pilot, Peche grants Support mobile suits 18% EX gauge restoration, making her more or less interchangeable with the other Support pilots outside of B-Packs Jona Basta. |
 Rick Dom (Thunderbolt) | • Io, along with Danton Hyleg, are still the most flexible substitute pilots for Armored units in the game. However, their value has gone down since the best Armored units in the game right now take a significant dip in performance without their signature pilot. • Unlike Danton, Io's signature MS is actually quite good, so field him in with the Rick Dom TB if you have it. Otherwise, use him in meta Armored units that don't rely on guarding or evading, like the ZZ-GR and the Messer. |
 Messer Type F01 | • While the Rick Dom (Thunderbolt) and the Messer serve the exact same purpose, the same cannot be said for their pilots. Gawman's value as the Messer's pilot lands it a spot in the S-tier, especially since the Messer takes the slight edge over the Rick Dom (TB). On top of 70% resistances, Gawman grants the Messer a 10% max HP buff. • Outside of the Messer, he's not really able to pilot any Armored unit well. No other mobile suit can benefit from the full 70% resistances, and only a few of them are able to benefit from half of that at 35%. |
 Gyan | • Another Support pilot, M'Quve grants Support mobile suits 18% EX gauge restoration, making him more or less interchangeable with the other Support pilots outside of B-Packs Jona Basta. |
 Red Zeta | • Red Snake is the Red Zeta's signature pilot, who further increases the combat effectiveness of the Red Zeta, especially against Green-type units. • While her signature MS is anything but versatile, Red Snake is actually a decent substitute pilot for any Generic and Transforming unit, granting them up to 240% ranged sense or more. She's also usable as a substitute pilot for any Red-type unit, for as long as you're using them in battles against Green-type units. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
 Kshatriya | • Marida is an extremely strong pilot for evasive Red-type melee-oriented units, by granting them up to 495% melee sense by way of stacking melee sense buffs. What makes her C-tier and not higher is how there aren't any good Red-type melee-oriented evasion units right now. |
 Sazabi (Blue) | • Char Aznable is an extremely strong pilot for evasive Blue-type ranged-oriented units, by granting them up to 495% ranged sense by way of stacking ranged sense buffs. What makes him C-tier and not higher is how there aren't any good Blue-type ranged-oriented evasion units right now. |
 Hyaku Shiki | • Quattro gives his Hyaku Shiki key buffs, particularly to its EX skill damage and evasion. Unfortunately, Hyaku Shiki is mainly used for its ability to inflict Unavoidable on all enemies with its EX skill. That said, Quattro isn't needed since his offensive buffs don't really make a significant difference to Hyaku Shiki's very low damage output. • As a substitute pilot, Quattro isn't very good since his biggest buff activates only when his allies fall in battle. |
 Zaku I with Big Gun | • Daryl Lorenz grants his signature BGZ up to 171% ranged sense, which again, isn't really considered a lot in today's standards. • Still, he's not the worst pilot in the game and is still better than the ones who didn't make it to the list. |
 Gundam GP04 | • Cima Garahau and her GP04 used to be the best offensive Red-type duo in the game, but their glory days have definitely been long gone, given the arrival of the next generation of Red-type powerhouses. Despite that, Cima's long-range and hyper-accurate GP04 remains a decent 6th option for when you don't have anything better to field. • As a substitute pilot, she's no longer a decent pick, given that you can get a lot more ranged sense from the higher-tiered substitute pilots. |
 Gaplant | • Rosamia and her Gaplant have risen in value recently solely as a counter to low base HP high priority targets. However, this is far less valuable in PvE, and you’ll want more consistent damage rather than early-game burst. Still, the Gaplant is much better than the majority of the Raid units in the game. • She's a good substitute pilot for Raid units a decent amount of melee sense, but not too much, and Raid units are pretty bad in the current meta anyway due to a lack of top-tier units. |
 Xi Gundam | • Hathaway and his Xi used to be the premier bruiser unit, and its Bullseye is still very effective at dealing with evasive threats. However, its lack of durability as an Armored unit really hurts its value, especially since Gyan is so common, and it'll draw attention towards the Xi when fielded in together. • Hathaway isn't very good outside of the Xi, given that his biggest buffs are tied to rare unit category tags. |
 Qubeley | • Like many of the other older meta mobile suits and pilots, Haman and her Qubeley have fallen off by quite a lot. They're still a cut above the unlisted units on our PvE tier lists, but their glory days have long gone. • Haman's stacking ranged sense buff that maxes out at 150% gives her some value as a substitute pilot for Purple-type MSs, but keep in mind that 150% ranged sense isn't a lot by today's standards. |
 Alex | • Christina Mackenzie is a must-have pilot if you intend on using the Alex, since she grants it an 18% EX gauge recovery, similar to how other Support pilots would grant their EX-reliant mobile suits. This is extremely important for the Alex as it increases the uptime of the debuff, which is the main reason people use the Alex anyway. • Christina could be used as a niche substitute pilot for Successor Units you want EX gauge recovery on, but don't expect her to grant them lots of ranged sense too. |
 Over.on | • Mashiro is the Over.on's signature pilot, and he grants it EX damage buffs as well as resistances, which are perfect for the meta Armored unit. • Outside of his signature MS, Mashiro does a decent job at piloting any Prototype Armored units, granting them up to 70% resistances. |
 RX-93ff Nu Gundam | • Amuro Ray grants his signature plenty of accuracy buffs, bringing their total over 100% accuracy. With Amuro aboard, the Sniper Nu becomes one of the best Blue-type anti-evasion units. • Amuro doesn't really shine outside his signature MS, given that ranged sense is usually the most sought-after stat in filler pilots, and Amuro doesn't grant much of that. |
 Char's Gelgoog | • Char Aznable gives his Gelgoog up to 210% melee sense and 20% accuracy. He's a very good pick for Char's Gelgoog, but his signature MS really isn't that necessary in PvE, given that most of the game's best units aren't Raid or Close Combat units, and they primarily deal ranged damage and not proximity. That said, this duo will only really be useful in melee Clan Battles and other events where melee damage is needed. There, this duo will be a must-have pick. • Outside Char's Gelgoog, this pilot does well in any Purple-type MS that deals melee damage. |
| Penelope | • Kelley is a Total War pilot whose best skills include a 17% guard rate buff to Armored units and a stacking resistance buff on taking damage that maxes out at 35% to Heavy Armor units. These skills make him a decent substitute pilot for Armored units that rely on guard rate, like the Penelope and the Hazel Custom. Do note that Kelley cannot match the defensive skills the signature pilots of the two units we mentioned, and only serves as a filler pilot for when you don't have the pilots you really need. |
 Gundam Full Armor | • Sleggar is another Total War pilot who excels in One Year War Armored units. Like Kelley, Sleggar grants a 17% guard rate to Armored units. However, instead of resistances, Sleggar grants a 17% reaction buff to One Year War units, providing the MS with an even bigger guard rate buff. • Sleggar used to be really good, but the rise of crit damage and how they now bypass guard rate has hurt his value. |
 Cima's Gelgoog Marine | • Cima Garahau grants her Gelgoog 278% ranged sense and 20% accuracy, giving it a big boost in firepower. While this unit won't top your damage charts if you have a good team around it, it's mainly a unit meant for debuffing, so extra damage is always nice. • Cima doesn't particularly do well in other mobile suits, given that there aren't any Generic Gelgoog units that can get 240% ranged sense off of her buffs. |
 Zanneck | • Fuala is the Zanneck's signature pilot who grants it up to 382% ranged sense and 30% accuracy, which are pretty sizable boosts to the Zanneck's damage output. • Fuala also happens to be a decent substitute pilot for any Zanscare Empire-Affiliated mobile suits. |
 Gundam 4th | • Luth Kassel is excellent on the Gundam 4th, as he grants it EX damage buffs, some ranged sense, some evasion, and some accuracy as well. The Gundam 4th isn't particularly a bad unit, but it needs Potential Lv. 5 to be effective, and that's something most units don't have. • Another reason why Luth falls to the C-tier is because there aren't any other mobile suits that he'll excel in, other than his signature MS. |
