Best Pilot Tier List (PvP)
Tier List Ranking Criteria
Mobile Suit Gundam UC Engage's PvP possesses an entirely distinct ruleset to achieve victory compared to the other modes. There, the only thing that matters is which squad can emerge victorious against the other.
That is why we ranked the pilots according to how well they can hold up in a match where the only goal is to completely annihilate the opposition by using the game's mechanics, and their skills and mobile suits.

Tier List Ranks Explained
|
These pilots are meta-defining elements of the mobile suit-pilot pairing. They provide the right stats with massive values to push their mobile suit to go above and beyond its base capabilities within the win-at-all-costs format of PvP. |
|---|---|
|
These are the pilots who are a cut above the rest in terms of the value they provide within the PvP setting. Not only are their bonuses significant and effective, but they also do not operate using conditions detrimental to their squad’s effectiveness as a whole. |
|
Serving as the standard for the others to compare themselves with, A-tier pilots are the units of choice for players who do not possess any of the higher-tier picks in this list. |
|
Whilst neither being strong nor special, these pilots also tend to utilize situations that negatively impact your team as a whole. In addition, they usually do not provide the necessary stats to make an impact in PvP. |
|
Pilots of this tier will struggle to compete in PvP due to their low stats, narrow distribution, disadvantageous skill conditions, etc., and should be replaced as soon as possible. |
Tier List Placement Explanation
| Pilot / Best MS | Description |
|---|---|
 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. |
 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. |
 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 healing/resurrection ability. • 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. |
 Narrative Gundam B2-Packs | • Jona Basta is the Narrative Gundam B2-Packs' signature pilot that gives the top-tier DPS unit key buffs to ranged sense, EX damage, EX gauge recovery, and more, dramatically improving the already potent mobile suit's combat capabilities. Without Jona Basta, the B2-Packs will perform sub-optimally and will no longer be a top-tier mobile suit. • Jona is also a fine pilot for any EX-oriented Newtype Killer MS, or any ranged-oriented Generic EFF-Affiliated MS. |
 Unicorn Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher) | • A must-have pilot for the game's strongest DPS unit, Banagher Links grants the Unicorn Gundam HML essential buffs to ranged sense, EX damage, and EX gauge recovery to make it the effective EX spammer that it is known as. Without Banagher Links, the Unicorn HML will not perform at a high level. • Banagher Links is only an alright substitute pilot, being able to perform well in any ranged-oriented Generic EFF-Affiliated MS. He won't really do that well elsewhere, however. |
［C0350］ Jona Basta| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
| Gundam F91 (Full Power) | • Kou Uraki is a specialist pilot who does well in any ranged damage dealing evasive MSs by granting them tons of stacking ranged sense buffs on evading, worth up to 415%. • His signature MS doesn't do well by any means, but the Gundam F91 (Full Power) is able to benefit greatly from the buffs he grants, making him a great specialist substitute pilot for the said top-tier MS. |
| Gundam F91 (Full Power) | • Chloe Croce is on the exact same boat as Kou Uraki in the sense that her only real use is as a specialist substitute pilot for the Gundam F91 (Full Power). • Instead of granting the stacking ranged sense buff on evade worth 415% to Green-type units, Chloe grants this to Limiter Override mobile suits. She also grants 28% evasion for 30 seconds, making the F91 even better at evading. |
 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 their tier list ranking way up. • 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. |
 Geymalk | • The Geymalk is far less dominant in PvP, hence Chara's lower ranking on the tier list. 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. |
 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. |
 Crossbone Gundam X3 | • The Crossbone Gundam X3's signature pilot, who grants it important buffs to melee sense, EX gauge recovery, and reaction. These make the popular melee tank even better at its job. • Tobia is a fine substitute pilot for any Close Combat unit, or any Crossbone Vanguard-Affiliated MS. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
 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 isn't all that special. 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. |
 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. |
 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. |
 Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (NT-D) | • While considered mainly as PvE units, Banagher and his signature PF NT-D perform exceptionally well against teams with multiple Psycho-Frame Type enemies. 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. |
 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 better crit units, automatically giving it a good tier list ranking. • As a substitute pilot, Angelo Sauper does fairly well in any Successor Units that deal plenty of crit damage. |
 Crossbone Gundam X2 | • The Crossbone Gundam X2 is a solid melee-oriented Stealth unit, but isn't SS-tier because Purple-O's EX skill can hit it. 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. |
 Gundam GP01Fb (Red) | • The Raid Gundam GP01Fb is a mobile suit that is capable of taking over matches and performing at an extremely high level, but is a risky MS to use in the sense that it's hard to find the ideal situation where it would thrive. As this mobile suit's signature pilot, Kou Uraki lands a spot in the A-tier as his key buffs help the GP01Fb take over, but still do not guarantee great performance. • As a substitute pilot, the Gundam GP01Fb thrives in any evasive White Mobile Suit that is also a Prototype, granting these big ranged and melee sense buffs. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
 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. |
 Gundam Ez8 | • Shiro Amada's Ez8 is indeed an excellent crit-buffing support. 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 and expect the same results. • Inversely, you could put Shiro Amada in any Support MS other than the B-Packs and you'll get pretty much the same results. |
 Sazabi ［THE LIFE-SIZED v Gundam STATUE］ | • Rakan is even more versatile than the rest of the Support pilots. On top of granting Supports the standard 18% EX gauge recovery speed, 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. |
 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 B-Packs Jona Basta. |
 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. |
 Engage Zero Yonfavin Best MS | • 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. |
 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 MS. • 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 time at the top of the PvP TL rankings is over, this duo still has some juice in the tank as a good filler unit to round out 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. |
 Gundam + G-Fighter | • The Awakened Yonfavin isn't very good at PvP, 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 the best pilot for the Gundan + G-Fighter, even better than the signature Amuro Ray pilot. |
 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. • Char has fallen down from the tier list summit 0to the lower tiers of this list as his signature MS falls deeper and deeper into obscurity. |
 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. |
 Baund Doc | • The Baund Doc is a well-rounded unit that's a little past its prime. What used to be an all-purpose unit has turned into a filler unit for when you need Unavoidable on your team. Jerid improves his MS 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. |
 RX-78F00 HMT Gundam High Mobility Type | • Amuro makes it to the B-tier 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 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. |
| 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 doubles down on its offensive buffs. • 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. |
 Kshatriya Repaired | • The Repaired Kshatriya is a solid offensive DPS/Support hybrid, but its lack of any defense prevents it from being great in PvP. Marida Cruz is responsible for significantly increasing both her ranged and melee damage output by way of buffs to ranged sense, melee sense, and crit rate. • Outside her signature MS, she will do well in crit-oriented Psycho-Frame Type units and Blue-type Raid units. |
| Pilot | Description |
|---|---|
 ZZ-GR | • Danton's value has gone down since the best Armored units in the game right now take a significant dip in performance without their signature pilot. • Resistances, which have been the reason behind Danton's success, have also taken a hit due to the crit rework and how crits now bypass pilot resistances. • Because signature pilots make or break Armored units these days, it's hard to find a good MS for this character who was once the most versatile tank pilot. |
 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. • What brings her value all the way down to C-tier is how the Titania is nothing more than a dodge tank these days, given how it does not deal much damage by today's standards. |
| 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). Unfortunately, the Yellow Sazabi is well past its prime and is no longer a good pick in Arena. |
 Rick Dom (Thunderbolt) | • Io is on the same boat as Danton Hyleg, whose values have gone down since the best Armored units in the game right now take a significant dip in performance without their signature pilot. • Resistances, which have been the reason behind Danton's and Io's success, have also taken a hit due to the crit rework and how crits now bypass pilot resistances. • Because signature pilots make or break Armored units these days, it's hard to find a good MS for this once extremely versatile tank pilot. |
 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 used to be a potent yellow-type counter and overall a solid Arena pick. • Unfortunately, his Sazabi is no longer the threat it once was, and 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. |
 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 an alright frontliner for PvP, though it isn't nearly as effective as today's top defensive picks. • 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. |
 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. However, his signature MS is more of a PvE pick that needs buffers alongside it and does not thrive in Arena, hence its low ranking. • As a substitute pilot, Banagher Links does well in pretty much any ranged-oriented Unicorn Gundam variant. |
| ZZ-GR | • The ZZ-GR is an Armored mobile suit that gets blown to pieces once a decent meta DPS unit sets their sights on it, hence its signature pilot's low ranking on this list. • Judau Ashta used to be a really good situational substitute pilot for Armored units, but as we mentioned in Danton and Io's tier list ranking explanations, Armored units these days need their signature pilots to thrive. |
 Full Armor ZZ Gundam | • Similarly to his ZZ-GR version, Judau Ashta pilots an Armored unit that does not do very well in today's Arena landscape. • Judau grants good resistance buffs to certain Armored units, but these aren't enough as today's Armored units need their signature pilots to succeed. |
 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. Unfortunately, the Nu DFF is one of the weaker mobile suits released this year that was only relevant for a short time in the meta, which is why Amuro is all the way at the bottom of the tier list. • 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 will perform at an extremely high level in all of the Nu Gundam and Sazabi variants, provided they are ranged-oriented. He might even outperform the signature pilots from the older variants of these units. |
