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 in others. This is why we ranked the UR pilots according to their stats, the buffs they provide, their availability to be used in a variety of mobile suits, how good they are in their signature mobile suit, and whether they have certain caveats that players should pay attention to when they use them.

Tier List Ranks Explained

SS Tier This pilot's skills make a significant impact on the performance of their signature Mobile Suit, such as providing massive boosts with thoughtful consideration to its role and strategy. Their skill requirements are also distributed in such a way that they're easy to place into different Mobile Suits with varying effects.
S Tier This pilot's skills make a strong impact on the performance of the Mobile Suit they are slotted in, providing them with massive boosts regardless if they're placed in their signature Mobile Suit or not. Their skill requirements are also very forgiving, which allows them to be used in many Mobile Suits beyond their signature units.
A Tier This pilot's skills make a noteworthy impact on the performance of their signature Mobile Suits. However, they might lag behind in terms of values, returns, or even use conditions, to make them a choice to consider when you need a pilot for a Mobile Suit without its signature partner.
B Tier This pilot's skills make an impact on the performance of their signature Mobile Suits. Unfortunately, they may have low overall values compared to other pilots or require unpleasant conditions when the stage has certain objectives. They may also have difficult or limited skill requirements, making them hard to slot into Mobile Suits outside of their signature units.
C Tier This pilot possesses low overall attributes, skill values, or difficult skill requirements. They could also be designed in such a way that they are only meant to serve as placeholders until you get a better pilot to slot into a Mobile Suit. They could even be designed on purpose to have a very limited selection of Mobile Suits to pair with.

PilotDescription
• Extremely flexible because of the resistances he grants Armored units. In some cases, he’s even better for an Armored unit than even that unit's signature pilot.
• His only real caveat is that his skill requirements only fit a specific archetype of mobile suits. But don't let that dissuade you from using him, as placing him in an Armored-category mobile suit always means you will also fulfill his "Heavy Armor" unit category requirement, except for the Over.on that oddly does not have this unit category tag.
• Much like [C0004] Char Aznable, most of [C0051] Kamille Bidan's skill effects are always in effect. This allows him to consistently and reliably provide a set of buffs that goes well with the offensive prowess of his signature mobile suit, the [M0086] Zeta Gundam.
• His skill requirements are also rather easily fulfilled. This makes him a choice to consider in many mobile suits that lack their signature pilots.
• Anavel Gato is a very strong pilot who focuses on making as much use of your bulk as possible, converting hits taken into Ranged Sense and Resistance. It ensures that his signature mobile suit, [M0122] Gundam GP02A, can stand out as more than just a flying piece of brick wall.
• Unfortunately, his skill requirements and effects limit him to being only useful for mobile suits that can take a hit, such as those of the Armored category. While not as flexible as Danton or Rick Dom Io Fleming, Gato earns a spot in the SS-tier thanks to how well he can pilot his signature MS.
• Though restricted to Green-type mobile suits, Paptimus Scirocco synergizes especially well with his signature unit, The-O, as he increases its damage with every successful evasion - on top of the other ranged damage buffs he gives to it.
• A powerful pilot whose signature MS also happens to be one of the most powerful units in the game, this version of Char Aznable grants 300% ranged and melee sense to its MS, among other powerful buffs that make it more dangerous.
• One of the few pilots aside from Danton that can give up to 70% Resistance buff to every Armored unit that has the "Heavy Armor" and "Armored" categories.
• A good alternative to Danton Hyleg and miles better than the Io that's meant to pilot the Gundam Full Armor solely because of his buffs. Io's capable of piloting all currently relevant Armored units except the Over.on, which does not have the Heavy Armor category and will only get a 35% Resistance buff from him.
PilotDescription
• Banagher Links is a powerful pilot capable of providing massive Resistance and Accuracy buffs to his mobile suit, as well as a decent amount of Ranged Sense. His skills perfectly complement his signature mobile suit, the [M0107] Full Armor Unicorn Gundam, due to his skills' reliance on taking hits.
• Despite his skillset requiring a mobile suit that can reliably take hits, he can be slotted to a wide variety of units. This is all thanks to more than half of his skill requirements being very common categories among the available mobile suits.
• Cima Garahau's buffs are designed to provide you with nothing but a massive dose of Ranged Sense and Accuracy. And that's great, considering that her signature mobile suit is [M0123] Gundam GP04, a veritable ranged powerhouse that focuses on damage and not much else.
• That said, her skill requirements are numerous and diverse enough that she can comfortably slot into any unit that can meet most of those.
• Roux Louka is an amazing pilot who provides massive Ranged Sense and Accuracy buffs; perfect stats to have for her signature mobile suit, the [M0239] S Gundam.
• Her skill requirements are also forgiving enough to allow her to be slotted in other powerful ranged units, such as the [M0103] G-3 Gundam.
• Possesses a set of skills that work perfectly with her signature Mobile Suit, [M0076] Banshee (NT-D). Particularly, a lot of her buffs take effect when her mobile suit uses its EX Skill, which directly compliments Banshee (NT-D)'s very quick EX Skill usage.
• Since her skill effects are distributed across a diverse set of Mobile Suit type, category, and unit category requirements, you can comfortably put her up as a pilot for a variety of Mobile Suits besides Banshee (NT-D). You might have trouble maintaining her buffs if the mobile suit has no way to use EX skills quickly, though
• Good sub-pilot for any ranged Purple MS, especially for multi-hit mobile suits like the Qubeley.
• Especially useful for the Zeta HML, arguably better than its signature pilot.
• Though she's better to use with her canon mobile suit, Titania, she would also be good to use with any new Close Combat mobile suits that have still yet to debut in the game, with her melee sense, accuracy, and evasion buffs.
• Banagher's ranged sense buffs make him a good pilot for other Green Generic mobile suits aside from the Gundam Unicorn Perfectibility, though they'll also have to have the Psycho-Frame Type and High Firepower unit categories to get his Accuracy buffs as well.
PilotDescription
• Judau Ashta is a pilot notable for being able to provide massive buffs to the ranged capabilities of a mobile suit, especially after it uses its EX Skill. He balances this with high-accuracy buffs, allowing for steady and reliable damage output.
• His skill requirements are, on the other hand, neither rare nor common. While you may not encounter much difficulty in finding alternative mobile suits to place him in, it's not a particularly easy task, either.
• Marida Cruz is essentially a copy of [C0083] Char Aznable, but for Red mobile suits that focus on melee attacks. She provides massive amounts of Melee Sense that ramps up via evading attacks, complimented by a large buff to her mobile suit's evasion stat.
• Her skill requirements are very forgiving, which allows her to be slotted into a wide variety of Red-type mobile suits.
• This version of Banagher Links is one of the rare pilots that can increase a mobile suit's critical-related capabilities.
• However, not many mobile suits rely on getting critical rates, which is a requirement for this pilot to truly shine. It's also almost impossible to use him without the Unicorn (NT-D), as none of the other Unicorn-type mobile suits rely on critical hits.
• A pilot that's decent with Purple Generics in general with her ranged sense and reaction buffs, and is fairly useful even when not put into her signature MS because of her "White Mobile Suit" and "High Mobility" category requirements being fairly common unit categories.
• Kamille Bidan's C0190 version excels in boosting Ranged Sense, Accuracy, and Critical Rate, making him ideal for the Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) and other Purple-type ranged units with the "High Firepower" category. However, his utility is limited outside this niche, so he's only recommended if you have the Zeta HML.
• While Kamille is very good in his Zeta HML, he may not necessarily be the best pilot for it, since Kincade and Moon Gundam ver. Amuro grant more ranged sense for that MS.
• Ple-Two is a versatile pilot for Green MS, excelling with fast-attacking units due to her skill that grants up to 210% stacking ranged sense. When paired with her Qubeley Mk-II, she gains a massive 287% ranged sense boost and 20% accuracy for the first 30 seconds, perfect for early combat dominance.
PilotDescription
• Despite the [M0039] Nu Gundam's average performance, its signature pilot is nothing to scoff at. Amuro Ray is capable of providing a set of high-value buffs to the mobile suit he's piloting, with minimal conditions to boot.
• His skill requirements are also relatively common, which makes him a choice pick for many mobile suits currently released.
• Aside from the need to use an EX Skill to activate his Skill 1's first line, all of Char's other skills are always in effect. This allows him to provide a consistent and reliable set of complementary buffs to his signature mobile suit, the [M0016] Char's Zaku II.
• Due to the prevalence of his archetype, it's easy to find alternative units for Char to pilot, as his skill requirements are prevalent in many mobile suits.
• Kou Uraki is a well-designed pilot that relies on evasion to provide massive bonuses to its mobile suit's reaction and ranged capabilities.
• It's also quite easy to slot him into alternative mobile suits if you don't have his signature partner, the [M0030] Gundam GP01Fb.
• This version of Char Aznable provides a well-balanced boost to a mobile suit's melee and ranged capabilities, provided that it can evade attacks. As a bonus, he provides a decent amount of evasion if the mobile suit has "One Year War" in its unit category, and high amounts of reaction.
• He works well with many Red-type Generic-category mobile suits like the Char's Zaku II and the Magna Martell, as he can give them a massive 415% melee sense buff.
• The signature pilot for one of the best executioners in the game, Daryl also finds some value as a substitute pilot for Purple-types since he grants 95% ranged sense to purple-type MSs after activating its EX skill.
• A strong pilot that provides a balanced set of buffs with minimal conditions for activating. He works very well with his signature Mobile Suit, [M0196] Hamma-Hamma, since he rounds its performance out to provide a significant threat to the battlefield by simply existing.
• His only real issue is the relative difficulty in finding mobile suits that fit more than two of his skill requirements at the same time.
• Aina Sakhalin is a generalist pilot that can buff any mobile suit as long as their types are either Green, Blue, or Red. Note that this consists of three out of five types in the game, making her available to be used in most mobile suits. She is, however, only limited to providing unremarkable melee sense and evasion buffs.
• The great thing about Aina is that her skill requirements only discriminate based on Type. That is, if you meet the condition for one skill, you'll immediately meet the condition for the other. This is especially true for melee-focused mobile suits that lack their signature pilots, who will enjoy their buffs to melee sense and evasion regardless of the value.
• Chloe Croce's skills, while limited in variety, have massive bonuses backing it up. The way she works is simple: she starts with naught but a big evasion bonus, but ramps her Ranged Sense up to a staggering 415% after several dodges. Unfortunately, her evasion buff only lasts 30 seconds.
• Due to her skill requirements and the way her skills synergize with each other, however, there are only very limited mobile suits that you can slot her in.
• A decent substitute pilot for Armored units if you don’t have Danton Hyleg or Rick Dom Io Fleming thanks to the 50% resistances that Ubaldo brings to the table.
• Can be used in other Red-type units with the "High Mobility" and "High Firepower" unit categories, but his other buffs (higher ranged sense, accuracy) are contingent on unit categories exclusive to the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway series, limiting his usefulness.
• Can be used with other Generic mobile suits with the High Mobility and Prototype unit categories, but can only really make use of his full potential when paired with the Gundam F91.
PilotDescription
• Anavel Gato has a great set of skills that focus on bulking up your unit and increasing its firepower. He can easily take a mobile suit that fits his skill requirements and makes them very difficult to deal with, as long as they are capable of taking hits early on.
• However, there are very limited choices for alternative mobile suits to slot him in. This rank may change once new mobile suits that can support his skills come out, however.
• Although one of Full Frontal's skill effects is locked behind a mobile suit type requirement, and the need to defeat enemy mobile suits, his ability to ramp off of your opponent's misfortune and increase your team's momentum makes him invaluable with the right kind of team. Unfortunately, that also means that he's not very viable in prolonged, single-target stages such as Co-op Raids.
• His skill requirements are also quite common, making it easy to slot him into many mobile suits.
• Zoltan is a strong pilot who provides a lot of Melee Sense and Critical Rate when the mobile suit meets the category and unit category conditions.
• It's relatively difficult to completely make use of his skills outside of his signature mobile suit, the [M0286] Sinanju Stein (NT Version), due to the rarity of the Phoenix Hunt unit category. However, he still has a wide pool of choices considering how common his other skill requirements are.
• Sayla Mass is a generalist that can provide a halfway decent amount of ranged sense and accuracy to a mobile suit, provided that they are either Purple or Yellow-type.
• The ease with which you can slot Sayla onto other mobile suits is great. Although, ultimately, she is just a tertiary choice due to the lack of variety and unimpressive values in her skills.
• While his Ez8 is a powerful unit in the right setup, Shiro isn’t a must-have for it, as all the Support pilots with EX Gauge recovery can do just as good. Inversely, having Shiro also gives you a decent substitute pilot for any Support MS.
• Peche Montagne (C0186) works well with the Engage Zero Incom Type, providing fast EX Skill gauge regeneration and useful boosts to Reaction and Accuracy. However, she is suboptimal compared to other pilots for Red-type units, as well as units with the "Prototype," or "Black Mobile Suit" unit categories.
