Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage features dozens of mobile suits, but which ones should beginners get when starting out? See our reroll tier list to see the best starting mobile suits (MS) in the game, as well as the pilots you should have with them!

Reroll Tier List

Tier List Ranking Criteria

Early on in your playthrough of Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage, you will have to go through the main quest. The Main Quest is made up of story missions that can give you Diamonds depending on whether you meet certain criteria once you meet them.

However, later on, you'll want to be doing other things too like participating in Cooperative Battles, events, and Arena. You won't always get to pull for the mobile suits you want, even if you spend a whole bunch of Diamonds, so it's also ideal to have some powerhouse units that are strong across all game modes right when you start the game.

This is why we ranked the mobile suits on this list based on their ability to tackle both the game's Main Quest and the mid-late game content.

Pilots do not have their Reroll Tier List because it's recommended that you spend your first few days pulling for mostly mobile suits. There will still be a few pilot suggestions later on who are also strong across most game modes, and who can flexibly pilot other MSs.

Mobile Suits Ranked

Tier List Ranks Explained

	This mobile suit is excellent across all game modes, and is considered one of the most powerful and impactful units in the game. Pulling for these units should be the top priority over everybody else.
	A level below the SS-tier units, but are still outstanding mobile suits. This unit also boasts reliability across all game modes, or may struggle in some but are top-tier in others. While undoubtedly some of the top units in the game, these do not warrant a must-pull like the ones in SS-tier, though they will play central role in your team as supporting cast members. This unit may be an excellent substitute for an SS-tier units you may not have, and is the next best thing.
	Great across all game modes or situationally, but is probably around the third or fourth best unit in their class. Will be effective in most or ideal in-game situations, though they may not be the absolute best at what they do. Excellent complimentary pieces, but they shouldn't be specifically targeted in rerolls.
	Situational picks that thrive in specific scenarios, but lack the flexibility to be great across all game modes. These are also good pieces to roll, but should also not be targeted specifically.
	This mobile suits may be potentially very powerful, though it might need plenty of investments to be effective, which will take a very long time before they reach ideal levels of power. They are also outclassed by the game's top-tier units, so you're probably going to replace them eventually as well, once you get the SS-tier units. It's much better to specifically target those top-tier units when rerolling rather than going with a new account full of lower-tier mobile suits. Despite being the lowest tier in this tier list, units in this mobile suit are much better than those excluded from the tier list.

Tier List Placement Explanation

Mobile Suits

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0105］ The-O	• The-O is an extremely well-rounded Armored unit. It's hard to take down thanks to its high HP, high evasion, and heal on evade skill. It's also quite powerful on the offensive side of things thanks to its EX skill which deals a huge amount of damage to a targeted enemy, inflicts Unavoidable, and if it's already inflicted with Unavoidable, deals even more damage. It can also fire the EX Skill off at a rapid rate thanks to its 6% EX gauge restoration on evade. • Pulling for The-O early on gives you one of the best tanks as well as a reliable damage dealer right from the get-go.
［M0275］ Zaku III Custom (TWA)	• The Ez8 is a support MS whose value has shot up tremendously thanks to the crit rework. It is capable of increasing critical rates and critical ATK damage output of allied units and provides further boosts to Bombardment units. This MS is very effective even with minimal investment but transcending it enhances Ez8's ability to support allied units by providing 36% Critical Rate and 45% Critical ATK for 30 seconds at the start of any battle. All these buffs make it a great ally that dramatically increases the damage output of its allies, especially Bombardment units.
［M0218］ Sazabi ［THE LIFE-SIZED v Gundam STATUE］	• The Yellow Sazabi is a unit with extremely high ramping damage, life steal abilities, and its Bullseye status effect that makes it hit all of its targets without missing. It needs a while to stack its damage, but once it does, it becomes almost unstoppable in battle. • This mobile suit is among the best of the best in the game across all game modes.
［M0056］ Zeong	• The Zeong is the best DPS mobile suit in the game right now and is one you want to specifically target when rerolling. It boasts high hit-count weapons that are amped by numerous beam damage buffs, and is equipped with a high-powered AoE EX Skill that blasts all its enemies for good damage. If a target is a Protagonist Unit, which is a category that plenty of mobile suits fall under, they take increased damage from this skill.
［M0317］ Gyan	• The Gyan excels in Arena by forcing enemies to target Armored units for the first 15 seconds of combat, protecting key DPS units and allowing them to dominate the battlefield. Its powerful EX skill scales with Zeon Forces-Affiliated allies, dealing massive damage early in battles at higher potential levels. Additionally, it boosts survivability for Zeon units, making it a versatile pick for both defense and offense.
［M0306］ Full Armor ZZ Gundam	• The Full Armor ZZ Gundam is currently the game's best tank for three reasons. The first is that it takes 99% reduced damage from EX Skills, which means it'll shrug off even the strongest of EX Skills. Next, it buffs up the damage output of all Blue-type allies with its own EX Skill, meaning it has a natural synergy with the game's best DPS unit, the Zeong. Finally, it has a 55% guard rate that diminishes by 5% for each time it takes damage, which gives it the chance to take 1 damage instead of the full amount, barring critical strikes.
［M0296］ Magna Martell (Awaken)	• The Awakened Magna Martell is an extremely well-rounded unit in the sense that it can fulfill multiple roles all at the same time. It's a fine DPS unit, a great dodge tank with permanent Absolute Evade when its HP falls below 50%, and the game's best debuffer, being better than the likes of the Phenex, Alex, and Cima's Gelgoog Marine. If you're a new player, it'll definitely be one of the best targets to roll for given its flexibility.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0086］ Zeta Gundam	• A mobile suit that's fallen off a bit, the Zeta Gundam is a tank buster that can dish out great damage thanks to its EX skill that bypasses DEF, which it can cast at an absurdly rapid rate thanks to a collection of EX gauge recovery/restoration self-buffs. This unit is great across all game modes.
［M0183］ Sisquiede Titans Color	• The Sisquiede Titans Color is a Sniper unit equipped with an AOE EX skill that hits all enemies and reduces the beam damage they deal by 30%. • Aside from being a debuffer, it is also able to deal big amounts of damage from long range.
［M0166］ Phenex (NT Version)	• The Phenex is one of the best mobile suits for Cooperative Battles and Raid Battles. This is because of its EX skill that makes the opponent take 60% more beam and projectile damage from both the Phenex and its allies. • This mobile suit is also decent in the Story Mode and other PvE content, but it isn't too good in the Arena as its debuff only affects 1 enemy unit at a time.
［M0089］ Char's Z'Gok	• Char's Z'Gok is an extremely useful Support unit that forces its entire team to attack Gundam-Type units first. It can be used to quickly eliminate key Gundam-Type targets like the GP02A, S Gundam, and the Zeta Gundam. On top of the unique targeting feature, Char's Z'Gok also greatly increases the damage these Gundam-Type units take. • Char's Z'Gok is useful across all game modes for as long as there are key targets who fall under the Gundam-Type unit category, which is almost all the time given how Gundam-Type is one of the most common Unit Category Tags.
［M0311］ Rick Dom (Thunderbolt)	• The Rick Dom (Thunderbolt) is an Armored mobile suit whose main gimmick is how it taunts all enemy units, forcing them to attack it for the first 8 seconds of combat. This allows its allies to attack without fear of retaliation for the entire duration of the Taunt, or until the Messer falls in combat, whichever comes first. • This unit isn't very strong on its own and needs allies who can take advantage of the window of opportunity its taunt provides. If not paired with other effective attackers, it won't be too effective in battle. It's almost identical to the Messer, but between these two, the Rick Dom is the inferior MS considering that it isn't as tanky as the Messer.
［M0269］ Messer Type F01	• The Messer is an Armored mobile suit whose main gimmick is how it taunts all enemy units, forcing them to attack it for the first 8 seconds of combat. This allows its allies to attack without fear of retaliation for the entire duration of the Taunt, or until the Messer falls in combat, whichever comes first. • This unit isn't very strong on its own and needs allies who can take advantage of the window of opportunity its taunt provides. If not paired with other effective attackers, it won't be too effective in battle.
［M0335］ Nu Gundam (Green)	• The Green Nu Gundam is currently the best healer in the game, who also happens to be a solid damage dealer. It helps keep its allies topped up and boasts the fastest heal in the game. That said, the Nu Gundam's heal is the least risky among all the other healers because it has the slimmest chances of its allies dying before it gets its heal off.
［M0280］ Unicorn Gundam (NT-D)	• The White Unicorn is a powerful DPS unit with high damage and is great across all game modes barring Arena. Its EX Skill not only buffs the damage output of all Blue-type allies but allows it to enter its Hyper Awaken state as well. While in this state, it benefits from the Bullseye status effect, allows it to use 4 weapons, and deals even more damage. It could do well in Arena too, but its two biggest counters, the Zeong and Char's Z'Gok, are among the most popular units in the game. Pulling for this unit when making a new account grants you both a very powerful DPS unit, a Blue-type buffer, and an anti-evasion unit all in one.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0122］ Gundam GP02A	• The Gundam GP02A is a powerhouse of an Armored unit capable of taking out entire teams with its extremely high damage AOE EX skill that hits all enemies. Rolling for one early on would be great for new accounts given how it excels across all game modes other than Cooperative Battles. It's fallen off by quite a lot in the higher ranks of Elite Arena, but it'll be a long time before new players should worry about that.
［M0052］ Sazabi	• This Sazabi surely isn't anywhere as powerful as its Yellow-type counterpart, but it's no slouch either. It's quite subpar in PvP, but it's excellent in both PvE and Coop Battles. Not only does it deal good amounts of damage and have high evasion, but it also buffs Blue-type allies. • Type buffing allies is always good for PvE since using monotype teams to counter other monotype teams in PvE is a tried and tested strategy. In cases like this, multiple allies at a time can benefit from the type buff. • With the Sazabi, you get a buffer, a dodge tank, a debuffer, and a DPS threat all in one unit.
［M0109］ Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon	• Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon is a Bombardment unit that not only deals good damage from good range but can also stun opponents and bypass their DEF when using its EX skill. This unit gains 50% accuracy against stunned targets, among many other self-buffs typical to Bombardment units.
［M0251］ Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility	• The Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility is one of the best Green-type units in the game. It's in the same league as the ZZ Gundam in terms of damage and the two are by far the best Green-type DPS units in the game. • This unit's great damage can be attributed to its EX skill that bypasses defense, high crit chance, and good accuracy.
［M0231］ Penelope	• The Penelope is one of the tankiest Armored units in the game thanks to its very high guard rate. It's equipped with high DEF for attacks that do manage to get through its guard rate, as well as a high-powered EX skill that can chunk opponents down. • The Penelope loses some of its guard rate each time it's attacked, so it's weak to high hit-count units. Despite that, it's still a very hard unit to take down, especially without the right units.
［M0299］ RX-78F00 HMT Gundam High Mobility Type	• The HMT is a powerful Bombardment unit whose damage output rivals that of an Ez8-buffed Bombardment unit. It's capable of reaching near 100% crit rate alone, allowing it to deal consistently high crit damage. However, having an Ez8 is much better than using this unit, considering the Ez8 buffs its entire team. It's a good reroll if you pull for this unit alongside other SS-tier units and you didn't get Ez8, but otherwise, it's not really a good reroll target alone.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0100］ Hyaku Shiki	• Hyaku Shiki is an influential unit in the right unit lineup since it can inflict the Unavoidable status on entire enemy teams. • Unfortunately, the debuff only becomes relevant in late-game content and on teams with Hamma-Hamma and other units who have bonus effects against those afflicted with the debuff. The Unavoidable status is still quite useful to have, though, since you will get the occasional enemy with high evasion stats.
［M0214］ Zaku I with Big Gun (Thunderbolt)	• This Zaku is a powerful Sniper unit whose main job is to execute its enemies with its EX skill and deal damage from a safe distance. It needs Transcending and Potential Unleashed to be strong, but it can still be pretty decent without it early on when you're just grinding through the story. • Once you're invested in this unit, it becomes one of the best PvP units as well as a pretty good PvE and Coop unit.
［M0258］ Banshee Norn	• Though it lacks the healing capabilities of other Banshee variants, the Banshee Norn is still an accurate and powerful melee fighter in its own right with its EX Skill capable of dealing high damage to a single enemy. • It's decent in all game modes and is one of the few designated The-O killers. This unit will tear through Green-types with ease.
［M0123］ Gundam GP04	• The Gundam GP04 is a Generic unit that behaves a lot like a sniper. It can rain down high-damage attacks from far away with great accuracy. It can easily take out unprotected Green-type units and high-evasion mobile suits.
［M0286］ Sinanju Stein (NT Version)	• Just like the Sinanju, its EX Skill gives it a 50% Critical Rate buff but it also gives it a couple of debuffs in the form of a 54% Evasion decrease and 49% more damage taken. Both these debuffs last for 10 seconds. • Transcending this unit increases its Evasion by 25% and gives it 36% more beam damage. It also gets a 50% Critical Rate buff that lasts for 30 seconds from the start of the battle, making it highly dangerous to enemies during the early stages of a fight. • It's very good if you want to target specific Generic category units thanks to its ability to lock into Generic units first, but otherwise it's just an "okay" mobile suit, and might even be detrimental to your team if it attacks a low-priority target first.
［M0252］ Blue Destiny Unit-1	• Specialized in taking down "Newtype Machine" category units, though its EX Skill still deals decent damage versus other types of mobile suits. This mobile suit has made a name for itself as a Zeta Gundam killer. • Pairing it with Yuu Kajima gives the Blue Destiny Unit-1 increased melee damage, and accuracy, as well as faster EX Skill gauge recovery.
［M0276］ Alex	• The Alex Gundam may be a nice addition if you've already filled up your ranks with high-damage units and you need a debuffer to amplify the team's damage. Upon using its EX Skill, 90mm Gatling Cannon, this MS will inflict 578% ATK damage to one targeted unit, as well as increase the beam damage and projectile damage taken by 50%. The Alex may be a decent PVE unit considering you have other high-damage-dealing units and an armored unit to protect this MS. On the other hand, its single-target debuff makes it one of the complimentary units for Cooperative Battle and most Raid Battle events.
［M0249］ V2 Gundam	• The V2 Gundam is a versatile Blue-type AOE attacker that excels in dealing team-wide damage while providing healing to allies with every EX Skill use. It's also the healer with the best survivability given its evasion. When fully Transcended, the V2 starts out with a 50% EX Gauge, and can help its allies survive for longer during battles.
［M0324］ Gedlav	• The Gedlav is a unique Bombardment unit that when at or above 90% HP, takes 99% less damage (including EX Skill damage), deals 96% more ranged damage, and is 99% faster. It's by far the tankiest Bombardment MS, while also boasting good damage. In exchange, it regenerates its EX Skill 99% slower when over 90%, and it takes 50% more damage when falling below that 90% threshold. Once it charges its EX Skill, it heals back 45% of its HP, potentially bringing it back over that 90% threshold and once again dealing high damage while being very hard to take down.
［M0179］ Banshee Norn (NT-D)	• The Black Lion is kind of like a tankier version of the White Unicorn. Its EX Skill buffs Green-type allies' damage output, while also allowing it to enter its Hyper Awaken mode. In this mode, it benefits from Absolute Evade, takes 50% less damage, and deals 100% more beam damage. Its value is hurt by the Gyan, since it's a mobile suit that gets stronger when evading attacks, and the Gyan draws aggro away from the Black Lion. It's a good PvE unit though, and a decent frontliner for PvP if you don't have Gyan.
［M0351］ Cima's Gelgoog Marine	• Cima's Gelgoog Marine is another debuffer just like the Phenex, but it's slightly weaker. It offers the same single-target 50% beam and projectile damage debuffs on EX Skill as the Alex, making the two interchangeable. Phenex is better considering it makes the target take 10% more damage from both sources, but it's a fine substitute as well. Like its fellow single-target debuffers, it's great for Co-op and Raid battles.
［M0371］ Baund Doc	• The Baund Doc is an extremely well-rounded unit with strong ranged and melee damage, the ability to inflict Unavoidable, increased damage against targets with this debuff, and a damage cap buff. What makes it so good is that while it packs a punch, it also has a 48% max HP buff, a 48% damage resistance buff, and 48% evasion, making it quite tanky and capable of taking big hits. It's great in both PvE and PvP, and is a very solid unit to have.
［M0341］ ZZ-GR	• The ZZ-GR is a Yellow-type Armored unit and is the first mobile suit that can reflect back damage at attackers. Specifically, it deals back a third of all beam damage it takes back at the attacker. It doesn't have anything going for it defensively other than a standard 25% max HP Transcendent Skill and a 45% max HP heal on EX. That said, it's not really on par defensively with the top tanks so it's bound to fall in battle unless it doesn't receive much damage and is able to use its EX Skill and heal back HP. However, when it does fall, it will have dealt a good amount of damage back to whoever was attacking it.
［M0319］ Zanneck	• The Zanneck is a rather straightforward damage-oriented mobile suit with a damage over time ability that deals 222% ATK every 5 seconds to the lowest HP enemy unit right when the battle begins. It's equipped with plenty of beam damage and accuracy buffs, and has 3 ranged weapons, though none of them are far-range weapons, which is rather unusual for Sniper units. It's a very solid backline that's a good complimentary DPS unit if you've pulled good SS-tier units already.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0239］ S Gundam	• The S Gundam used to be the best Bombardment mobile suit at the moment, though now it's outshined by the game's top Bombardment units like the Zeong, HMT, and Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon. It is also the mobile suit that you should spend your first UR selector ticket when starting new accounts, hence its low placement on this list.
［M0107］ Full Armor Unicorn Gundam	• The Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (FAUC) is a Generic unit that can fit well in most teams. It's extremely tanky for a non-Armored mobile suit, supports its allies by buffing their beam damage, and deals good damage on its own as well. • The FAUC is a great unit across all game modes, though it's outshined by the top-tier units in the game. Moreover, tanks who are not Armored units like the FAUC have fallen out of the PvP meta as the Gyan draws enemy aggro away from them and onto Armored units.
［M0126］ Kshatriya	• Marida's Kshatriya, in the right situations, can be a powerful mobile suit capable of stunning enemy units with near impunity due to its very high evasion and beam damage resistance. On top of that, it is capable of buffing its entire team's damage output right after, effectively creating damage windows that cannot be punished. • While it's good in PvE, it's not very good in PvP since it takes a while to ramp up and is prone to dying before it gets to use its EX skill. It's a very usable unit, though it's not exactly the best at anything it does, hence the low placement on this tier list.
［M0041］ ZZ Gundam	• The ZZ Gundam is a straightforward damage-oriented Bombardment unit. It can deal extremely high damage from a safe distance at the cost of being extremely fragile. In PvE, this unit can carry a team as long as it stays protected from damage. In PvP, however, it struggles from not having an EX gauge-related skill, and struggles to keep its buffs that requires it to stay healthy active. Like the S Gundam, it's outclassed by the top-tier Bombardment units in the game.
［M0312］ Gaplant	• The Gaplant's EX Skill deals 628% ATK damage on the lowest enemy unit making this unit a looming threat to Raid, Bombardment, or Sniper MS units that have a significantly lower base HP. Moreover, this MS Unit can instantly use its EX Skill at the start of every battle due to its 99% EX Gauge restoration skill. However, the Gaplant's survival relies on its evasion so it is still vulnerable to getting killed by strong EX skills. • It's more of a PvP unit than anything, and even there, its role is rather niche as a counter to Zeong.
［M0230］ Xi Gundam	• The Xi Gundam is an offensive Armored unit that grants itself the Bullseye status effect each time it uses its EX skill, making it great against high evasion units. It also has some good survivability with high DEF, a small heal each time it takes damage, and up to 25% damage taken down. It has slightly fallen out of the PvP meta, though it's good in PvE, especially in events where Bullseye would be very useful.
［M0029］ Qubeley	• Haman's Qubeley is a mobile suit best known for its EX skill, which stuns all enemies for 4 seconds while reducing their evasion by 27%. This allows your other units to freely hit enemies without fear of retaliation for a full 4 seconds, which is huge for any game mode. • This mobile suit also deals good damage, has high accuracy, and can evade at a good rate as well. • The Qubeley has somewhat fallen out of the PvP meta not because it's a bad unit, but because you'd rather have the SS-tier units on your team instead of this MS. It still has some value in all game modes though, especially when paired with units that benefit from attacking stunned targets, and when you need to reduce the enemy team's evasion.
［M0245］ Titania	• Titania is a great close combat unit with all 3 of its weapons being melee, and a powerful melee EX Skill that can benefit greatly from its evasion since its EX Skill gauge fills by 5% each time it evades an attack. However, as powerful as this mobile suit is in close combat, it can be easily countered with units that have the Bullseye ability such as the Yellow Sazabi, or units that can inflict the unavoidable status effect like the Hyaku Shiki or The-O. • It is also past its prime in Arena, considering that you're much better off using a Gyan+Armored unit rather than letting this unit be your frontliner.
［M0266］ Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher)	• The Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) is a Purple-type Bombardment unit, capable of dealing massive damage for as long as it stays safe and away from other units. If fully transcended, the Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) benefits from a starting 50% EX Gauge, 50% more crit rate after EX, and an increased damage cap of 200,000. • This unit is best known for its EX skill which deals 537% ATK damage while restoring 50% of its EX gauge, allowing it to use it at a rapid rate. • Like the other units in this tier, it's a good unit that's outshined by the best units in its class.
［M0217］ RX-93ff Nu Gundam	• The RX-93ff Nu Gundam is a Sniper unit with healing capabilities. Its EX Skill allows it to deal 644% ATK damage to the enemy unit with the lowest HP as well as heal allies for 22% of their max HP. When fully Transcended, the RX-93ff Nu Gundam becomes an even greater threat as it benefits from a bullseye status for 8 seconds for each EX Skill use. • Excellent across all game modes thanks to its ability to snipe unprotected Red-types and quickly take them out of the fight, though it's outclassed both by the V2 Gundam and the Green Nu Gundam.
［M0345］ Messala	• The Messala is another mobile suit that isn't very good unless you invest heavily in it. It won't just need Transcendence, but Potential Unleashed too given how its EX skill is its key ability. • Even with big investment, it isn't quite on par with the top MSs in the current meta. However, it's quite decent in PvE, especially if you need another Red-type to fill up your mono-type team.
［M0352］ Gottrlatan	• The Gottrlatan is a very powerful unit, but it's not a good reroll target considering that it excels only when at max Transcendence and Potential Lv.
［M0336］ Sazabi	• The Purple version of the Sazabi boasts similar damage outputs as its Yellow-type counterpart, while also having Bullseye for the first 18 seconds of combat, making it a good DPS unit. However, it lacks one major contributor to the Yellow Sazabi's success, which is its lifesteal ability. It's not nearly as hard to take down, and in exchange, it offers far more utility in the form of stuns with each attack, and a longer one when it uses its EX Skill.
