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 pilot the best mobile suits, and provide the right stats with massive values to push their MS 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. They are just as crucial to their signature MS as the SS-tier pilots, but their mobile suits are not as dominant as the SS-tier picks. |
|
Serving as the standard for the others to compare themselves with, A-tier pilots grant key buffs to their signature mobile suits that do fairly well in the Arena meta. |
|
Whilst neither being strong nor special, these pilots operate mobile suits that tend to utilize situations that negatively impact your team as a whole. Their signature mobile suits often exploitable weaknesses in a PvP setting. |
|
Pilots of this tier, along with their signature MS 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. |

SS Tier Pilots

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS Tier | S Tier | ||||||||||
| A Tier | B Tier | C Tier | |||||||||
| Pilot / Best MS | Description |
|---|---|
 Gundam F91 (Full Power)
|
• Pilot of the F91 (Full Power), 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 one of, if not the best evasive unit in the game. |
 Zeta Gundam (Waverider)
|
• The signature pilot for the Zeta Waverider, a debuffer and EX spammer that inflicts the target with the Unguardable and Unavoidable debuffs. • This duo is great to bring along against Perfect Guard and Absolute Evade units. • Provides much-needed offensive buffs whose presence or absence make or break the unit. |
 Alex (Chobham Armor)
|
• Pilots the Alex (Chobham Armor), which reflects EX skill damage back to the attacker, which is great in today's EX damage-oriented meta. • This MS also has very high resistances and a self-heal, which makes it one of the best Armored units today. • Christina grants buffs to HP and resistances, contributing to the juggernaut's tanking ability. |
 The-O (Purple)
|
• A must-have pilot for the very popular The-O (Purple), granting it guard rate to bring the duo's total over 100%, and EX damage buffs to increase its damage output. • The duo is no longer as dominant as they once were due to The-O being susceptible to EX damage, which is quite common today. |
 Narrative Gundam B2-Packs
|
• Jona bolsters the B2-Packs' already great defense and offense by granting it powerful buffs to ranged sense, EX gauge recovery, EX damage, resistance, and reaction. • His high ranking is attributed to the B2-Packs' effectiveness in today's meta. |
 Phenex (NT-D/NT Version)
|
• Jona significantly improves the Support Phenex's supportive capabilities by improving its EX gauge recovery and granting it HP Restoration Up buffs. • His high ranking is attributed to the Support Phenex's value as one of today's top defensive supports. |
 Unicorn Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher)
|
• A must-have pilot for one of the most powerful units of the game, the Unicorn HML. Banagher Links grants key buffs to EX gauge recovery, EX skill damage, ranged sense and evasion. • His high ranking is attributed to the Unicorn HML's value as one of today's top DPS units. |
 Gundam F91 (Twin VSBR-equipped)
|
• Seabook Arno is the Gundam F91 (Twin VSBR-equipped)'s signature pilot, who grants it key buffs to ranged sense, melee sense, evasion, EX damage, and reaction. |
 Gundam GP02 (MLRS)
|
• Anavel Gato is essentially a must-have for the Gundam GP02 (MLRS) to perform optimally. This is mainly because of the 26% EX damage buffs he grants, but also thanks to the buffs he grants to ranged sense, melee sense, and max HP. • His high ranking is attributed to the GP02's great debuffing ability. |
 ZZ Gundam (Hyper Giga Cannon)
|
• Judau Ashta is a must-have pilot for his ZZ Gundam (Hyper Giga Cannon) mainly because his EX damage buffs dramatically improve the ZZ Gundam's already strong offense, along with max HP and resistance buffs for added durability. • His high ranking is attributed to his signature MS' meta-defining performance. |
 Nu Gundam (LFF & Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher)
|
• Amuro grants his signature Nu LFF a ton of ranged sense, some accuracy, and improves its Full Fire status' damage output. • His high ranking is attributed to his signature MS' dominance. |
S Tier Pilots

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS Tier | S Tier | ||||||||||

| Pilot / Best MS | Description |
|---|---|
 Gundam GP01Fb
|
• A specialist pilot who does well in any ranged damage-oriented evasive MSs by granting them tons of stacking ranged sense buffs on evading, worth up to 415%. • His signature MS is terrible, 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 F91. |
 Pale Rider (Space type)
|
• In the same situation as Kou Uraki. Both are only viable as a 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 units. She also grants some evasion for 30 seconds, making the F91 even better at evading. |
 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. • To this day, the Generic Sinanju remains somewhat relevant as a DPS threat, though it is not as dominant as it once was. |
 Crossbone Gundam X3
|
• Tobia Arronax grants his Crossbone Gundam X3 huge melee sense buffs, which in turn improve its defense, given how its lifesteal scales with the damage it deals. He also grants Reaction and EX gauge recovery, which work well with the defensive powerhouse's kit. • The X3's usefulness as a meat shield elevates Tobia's ranking. |
 Gundam (Yellow)
|
• Amuro Ray is arguably the most versatile pilot of the game at the time of writing, granting loads of ranged sense and melee sense to any and every mobile suit. • He is best used as the pilot for his signature Yellow Gundam in PvE, but still works quite well in Arena. |
 Zeta Gundam (IF Claw and IF Blaster)
|
• Kamille grants the Zeta IF Claw huge melee sense and EX damage buffs, which complement the said mobile suit's kit perfectly. • His high ranking is attributed to the IF Claw's good performance in Arena. |
 Blue Destiny Unit-3
|
• Yuu Kajima grants the Blue Destiny Unit-3 offensive buffs that help it deal damage. These buffs include ranged and melee sense, EX gauge recovery, and some evasion too. • Yuu is essential to the BD-3's success as he grants further ranged and melee sense buffs against Newtype Machines. |
 Sinanju Stein (NT Version)
|
• Zoltan is an essential pilot for the Sinanju Stein, a mobile suit that is doing very well in today's PvP meta. • His buffs include potent ranged sense and EX damage buffs, with some of them activating only against Generic Units. |
 Victory 2 Assault Buster Cannon Gundam
|
• Uso Ewin brings his V2ABC to its fullest potential by granting it much-needed ranged sense, crit rate, critical ATK, and Extracritical. He is irreplaceable as a pilot for the said MS. |

 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, despite already slowly falling off the meta. • Her specialized buffs aren't very impactful in other mobile suits, but that does not matter much in a meta where pairing signature pilots makes or breaks a unit. |
 Victory 2 Assault Gundam
|
• Uso is the V2A's signature pilot. 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 even better. • Unfortunately, the rise of more impactful healers has forced Uso and his V2A to take a back seat in the meta. |
 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. • Since the duo's release, better Assault units and EX spammers have taken the Theta Plus' place as the finest anti-Perfect Guard mobile suits in the game. |
 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 the Rozen Zulu, though better crit units, can be used in its stead. |
 Methuss (UR)
|
• The must-have signature pilot for the Methuss, a healer that can revive Blue-Type allies, while also granting defensive buffs to the team. • Fa is unlike the other interchangeable Support pilots as she grants the Methuss more than just 18% EX gauge recovery. |
 Quin Mantha
|
• Ple-Two grants her signature Quin Mantha key buffs to both defense and offense. Without her, the Quin Mantha loses out on key buffs, sacrificing either offense or defense. |
 Nu Gundam HWS
|
• Amuro is a must-have pilot for his signature Nu Gundam HWS, granting it key buffs to both defense and offense. It loses out on key buffs without Amuro, sacrificing either offense or defense. |
 Ple's Qubeley Mk-II (Red)
|
• Elpeo Ple increases her signature Support Qubeley's EX gauge recovery by 36%, twice as much as the standard 18% that support pilots grant. She is irreplacable as the said MS' pilot. |
 Gottrlatan (Bombardment)
|
• Although Katejina and her Gottrlatan are mainly PvE units, they are still viable picks in Arena as a crit-oriented threat. • Katejina is crucial to the Gottrlatan's success as she grants numerous ranged sense, Skill Damage, and critical ATK buffs. |
B Tier Pilots
| Jump to a Section! | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS Tier | S Tier | ||||||||||
| A Tier | B Tier | C Tier | |||||||||
| Pilot / Best MS | Description |
|---|---|
 Todesritter
|
• Chloe is the Todesritter's signature pilot who really elevates its anti-Newtype capabilities. Unfortunately, the Todesritter is no longer the anti-Newtype beast it once was. |
 Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (NT-D)
|
• Banagher and his signature PF NT-D perform best against teams with multiple Psycho-Frame Type enemies. Sadly, this mobile suit has been relegated to a situational pick that is only useful against priority targets that have healing or Psycho Frame-Type units. |
 Geymalk
|
• The Geymalk has fallen off significantly due to the arrival of the next generation of powerful DPS units, 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. |
 Crossbone Gundam X2
|
• Tobia Arronax is the pilot for the first mobile suit to be released with the Stealth Status, the Crossbone Gundam X2. • Unfortunately, they were not relevant for too long as much stronger mobile suits were released soon after this duo's release. |
 Kshatriya Repaired
|
• The signature pilot for the Kshatriya Repaired. • Although they are a solid offensive duo, these two do not perform well in the current meta due to their complete lack of durability that makes it easy for enemies to take them down. |
 Gundam GP01Fb (Red)
|
• Kou supplements his GP01Fb's kit by granting it tons of melee and ranged sense, reaction, and EX damage. • Although the duo is quite good, they are not particularly great in today's meta, hence their ranking. |
 Zeong (Sniper)
|
• Char is a must-have pilot for his signature MS, the Zeong (Sniper), thanks to his numerous ranged sense buffs, alongside some accuracy and reaction buffs as well. • Because the Sniper Zeong is a very niche pick, Char is placed on the lower tiers of this list. |
 Regelgu
|
• Illia Pazom is necessary for the Regelgu to reach its full potential. She grants the necessary buffs to push the mobile suit to 99% critical rate, along with other synergistic buffs too. • The need for crit + Assault is no longer in demand. The Regelgu is a situational pick that is outshined even in its niche as a supposed The-O counter. |
C Tier Pilots
| Jump to a Section! | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS Tier | S Tier | ||||||||||
| A Tier | B Tier | C Tier | |||||||||
| Pilot / Best MS | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
• Shiro Amada's Ez8 is a crit-buffing support. He isn't necessary to have on the Ez8, and you can substitute him with any of the other Support pilots who grant 18% EX gauge recovery and expect similar results. • Inversely, you could put Shiro Amada in any of the older Support MSs and get pretty much the same results as their signature pilot. |
|
|
• On top of granting Supports the standard 18% EX gauge recovery buff, Rakan also grants Commander and High Firepower units two stacking ranged sense buffs that add up to a maximum of 240%. • Unfortunately, today's relevant DPS units require their signature pilots for optimal performance. |
 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 for older Support units. |
 Titania
|
• Alma's Titania is still capable of lasting long against enemy units that don't have any means of dealing with high evasion/Absolute Evade. • Unfortunately, the Titania is nothing more than a dodge tank these days, given how it does not deal much damage by today's standards. |
 Char's Z'Gok
|
• Another Support pilot, Char grants Support mobile suits 18% EX gauge restoration, making him more or less interchangeable with the other Support pilots for older Support units. |
 Gottrlatan
|
• A specialist pilot for the Gottrlatan. Her evasion, ranged sense, and melee sense buffs go exceptionally well alongside the EX spamming MS. • Unfortunately, her signature MS is no longer good, and substitute pilots no longer have a place in today's meta. |
 Nu Gundam (Green)
|
• A signature pilot for the Green Nu, a healer whose time at the top of the PvP TL rankings is over. • This version of Amuro can be a filler pilot for EFF-Affiliated Generic type DPS units, but today's best DPS units require their signature pilots for optimal performance. |
 Zeong
|
• Grants two stacking ranged sense buffs (up to 150% each) to Blue-type and Bombardment MSs, but no Blue Bombardment mobile suits are relevant today. • Char has fallen down from the tier list summit to 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 for older Support units. |
 Baund Doc
|
• Jerid and his Baund Doc are well past their prime. This duo is now only really useful for situations that call for Unavoidable. Even in these situations, the Baund Doc falls inferior to newer options like the Waverider Zeta. • Jerid is a decent substitute pilot for a number of options, though substitute pilots are no longer effective today. |
 RX-78F00 HMT Gundam High Mobility Type
|
• Amuro is unfortunately not very good due to his signature HMT falling off dramatically since its release. • Outside of his signature MS, he also grants solid amounts of ranged sense to Red Bombardment mobile suits, like the upcoming FAZZ Bombardment version, which is expected to be very strong. |
 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (NT-D)
|
• Banagher Links is a versatile pilot who grants up to 300% ranged sense to Bombardment mobile suits with the High Firepower unit category tag, conditions that are very easy to fulfill. • Unfortunately, using substitute pilots limits a mobile suit's ceiling, and is not optimal at all in the current meta. |
 Gundam + G-Fighter
|
• Amuro and his Gundam + G-Fighter are no longer good in today's meta as this duo cannot compete with today's top DPS units. • He is quite good as a substitute pilot for all Sniper units, though substitute pilots no longer have a place in today's meta. |
 Nu Gundam (Double Fin Funnels)
|
• This version of Amuro pilots the Nu DFF, which has become one of the weaker mobile suits very shortly after its release. This is why Amuro is all the way at the bottom of the tier list. |
