Gundam UC Engage

Best Mobile Suit Tier List (PvP) [April 2025]

Best Mobile Suit Tier List (PvP)

Answer Our Gundam UCE Survey!

Tier List Ranking Criteria

Like in our PvE Tier List, every mobile suit in Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage has a specific role and type, and certain mobile suits are better at their roles than others. In the context of Arena Mode, however, players have to consider whether their mobile suit can be countered by other mobile suits, and which mobile suits are currently "meta."

This is why we ranked the game's UR mobile suits according to how much damage they deal, their stats, and how their skills contribute to their teams.

Tier List Placement Explanation

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［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.
［M0056］ Zeong	• Few mobile suits are meta-defining, and the Zeong definitely has the honor of being one of these units. This Bombardment MS is a powerhouse of a DPS unit that can singlehandedly win matches thanks to its powerful AOE EX skill and its high hit count and beam damage-enhanced weaponry. • The Zeong can singlehandedly win battles in PvP, especially when at maximum Transcendent and Potential Lv., provided that you keep it protected to ensure it doesn't die too early. Having a powerful Zeong on your team can help your team overpower enemy teams with higher levels of CP than yours.
［M0238］ Gundam Ez8	• The Ez8 shot up to the top of the PvP tier list thanks to the arrival of the crit rework. This mobile suit can improve the entire team's critical rate and critical ATK, though these buffs are much more potent for Bombardment mobile suits.
［M0105］ The-O	• One of the tankiest melee fighters in the game, The-O deals great damage to single targets and inflicts "Unavoidable" on them with its EX Skill. But if they already have Unavoidable (most likely from the Hyaku Shiki if you partnered it up with The-O), then it will deal even more damage with its EX Skill. • Transcending it is a must because of the Evasion boosts it gets, along with the ability to heal itself with every successful evasion. • The-O also has the honor of being one of the few mobile suits that counter the Zeong and is the best mobile suit to pair with the Gyan.
［M0218］ Sazabi ［THE LIFE-SIZED v Gundam STATUE］	• One of the best Generic units currently available because of its multiple beam damage self-buffs, its Bullseye buff that prevents it from missing its targets, a 200,000 max damage cap increase, and up to 66% life steal when dealing damage. All it has to do is to keep attacking, and it will be able to survive a fight and take out the opposing team.
［M0306］ Full Armor ZZ Gundam	• The FAZZ is not only impervious to EX Skill damage, but it also has a natural synergy with the Zeong, as it increases the damage output of all Blue-type allies with its EX Skill. • It also has a high guard rate that depletes each time it gets hit, though not as much as the Penelope. Additionally, the Gundam Ez8 and other crit-based mobile suits have no problem bypassing an enemy mobile suit's guard rate.
［M0296］ Magna Martell (Awaken)	• Awakened Magna Martell is an extremely versatile unit that earns powerful buffs once its HP falls below 50% HP, including a permanent Absolute Evade buff, 99% more accuracy, 48% max HP and EX gauge restoration, and 99% beam damage. It can tank, it can debuff, it can deal with evasion, and it deals huge damage. • It also happens to be one of the best single-target debuffers in the game, making a single targeted enemy receive up to 62% more damage from all sources.
［M0300］ Todesritter	• Todesritter is a crit-based Generic unit that specializes in dealing with Newtype Machines, obliterating them with its crits and its powerful EX skill that hits Newtypes for massive damage twice. • It's great considering that the majority of the highest-tier and most popular mobile suits in the game happen to be Newtype Machines. Moreover, it synergizes well with the most powerful Support in the game, the Ez8, allowing Todes to reach over 100% crit rate. Finally, it's very good at dealing with the two tanks of the highest tier. Its high accuracy makes quick work of The-O, and its powerful crits can render FAZZ's guard rate useless.
［M0377］ Victory 2 Assault Gundam	• The V2A Gundam is an extremely impactful MS for PvP thanks to its ability to benefit from Perfect Guard, a potent single-target heal, team-wide EX damage resistance buffs, and ramping evasion and beam damage buffs. • It’s already firmly established itself as one of the best mobile suits in the game, but its value may rise even more as a healer once the next generation of extremely durable Armored units comes along.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0286］ Sinanju Stein (NT Version)	• One of the crit rework's big winners, the Sinanju Stein gets crit buffs with its EX skill and Transcendent Skills. • It has a skill that makes it go after Generic mobile suits first, which may or may not be what you want it to do in battle depending on who you're facing. It used to lack the damage to effectively take out priority Generic targets early, but with the new and improved critical hits, it can finally do so.
［M0269］ Messer Type F01	• The Messer is an Armored unit that inflicts Provoke on itself, forcing all enemies to attack it first for the first 8 seconds of combat. This provoke feature overrides target priority, which is the main selling point of Char's Z'Gok. • This MS serves the same purpose as the Gyan+Armored unit combo, though it's less durable than that if we're talking about one of the meta Armored units. That said, this frees up the Gyan's slot on your team, which you could use for another DPS unit instead.
［M0311］ Rick Dom (Thunderbolt)	• Serves the exact same purpose as the Messer, though it's less durable in battle.
［M0324］ Gedlav	• The Gedlav is a powerful Bombardment unit with a gimmick where it takes 99% less damage, deals 96% more ranged damage, and is 99% faster when at or above 90% HP, but at the expense of not being able to charge its EX skill. It loses all 3 buffs when falling to 89% HP and below, but it can then use its EX skill to recover 45% max HP, possibly getting back above that 90% HP threshold. • The Gedlav’s PvP value comes from its inherent tankiness and ability to withstand even the strongest of attacks as a Bombardment unit with good damage.
［M0341］ ZZ-GR	• Armored unit capable of reflecting a third of the beam damage it takes back to the attacker. It has a few defensive features, including a 45% max HP heal whenever it uses its EX skill. Unfortunately, it's not capable of staying too long on the battlefield when focused on, but it'll only die after reflecting good amounts of damage back at the enemy team.
［M0299］ RX-78F00 HMT Gundam High Mobility Type	• The HMT is a very high DPS mobile suit with built-in crit. It performs like an Ez8-amped Bombardment suit all on its own and can deal high amounts of crit damage comparable to an Ez8-enhanced Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0239］ S Gundam	• The S Gundam deals high damage with its EX Skill and gives itself a Critical Rate boost afterward. • While it fell off for a little bit, the S Gundam’s effectiveness has risen thanks to the crit rework finally arriving. It's quite good right now, though it's not better than the Zeong or the HMT.
［M0252］ Blue Destiny Unit-1	• The Blue Destiny Unit-1 specializes in taking down enemies with the "Newtype Machine" unit category, as it deals big damage to Newtype mobile suits while also prioritizing them in combat. • When paired with Yuu Kajima, the Blue Destiny becomes a melee powerhouse with higher melee sense, faster EX skill gauge recovery, and higher accuracy.
［M0312］ Gaplant	• A glass cannon executioner that seeks out the target with the lowest HP and takes them down with a killer beam rifle. This EX Skill can be cast right when the battle begins. • Has found a niche in Elite Arena where it targets the Zeong, which is often the lowest HP unit on the enemy team. It has a type advantage and an increased damage cap against Blue-types, making it even better against the game's most popular and powerful DPS unit.
［M0109］ Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon	• Compared to other Bombardment units, Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog Cannon's EX Skill does not deal that much damage. But that damage ignores the enemy's DEF, as well as inflicts Stun (making it good to pair with other mobile suits that can capitalize on that). • Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog is a great mobile suit to bring alongside the Ez8, as it will benefit from the latter's Critical ATK and Critical Rate buffs.
［M0266］ Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher)	• The Zeta Gundam (Hyper Mega Launcher)'s EX Skill deals up to 537% of its ATK as damage to single enemy units. At the same time, it also restores 50% of its EX Gauge, meaning you'll have to land fewer hits on enemies to charge up your EX skill and use it again. • Due to its higher damage cap and its consistently high DPS, it is currently one of the best Bombardment units in the game, only overshadowed by the Zeong.
［M0089］ Char's Z'Gok	• Great to have against teams centered around strong Gundam-types, as it makes its allies go after those mobile suits first and deal increased damage against them. However, if you're up against teams whose main units consist of Zaku-types or other kinds of mobile suits, having the Z'Gok might not be as beneficial.
［M0257］ Over.on	• A more offensive-minded version of The-O, the Over.On does not have the defensive skills necessary to be a good tank, but it's an EX spammer with a near-identical EX skill to The-O, and restores EX gauge on taking damage. • Just like The-O, it's excellent paired alongside the Gyan. However, it's not quite as good without it, nor should you expect it to be a good tank.
［M0352］ Gottrlatan	• An EX skill spamming mobile suit that excels at snowballing. Capable of dealing huge damage and topping the damage rankings in ideal situations, but is a notch weaker than the likes of the Sazabi and the Zeong. Needs Potential Lv. 5 to really shine, but not a lot of people have it that strong.
［M0335］ Nu Gundam (Green)	• Unlike the Red Nu, this one’s heal doesn’t nearly take as long, and it has respectable amounts of damage as well. Because of that, it can turn the tide of individual battles in favor of its allies and can buy time for its allies who need to ramp up a little like the Gundam GP02A and the Sazabi. It also deals huge amounts of damage, especially around the 20-30-second mark.
［M0336］ Sazabi	• Very similar to its yellow counterpart but sacrifices survivability for better utility. It’s not as good as Yellow Sazabi given that it doesn’t have any life steal and its weapons are worse. Still a very solid unit with great damage potential, good crowd control, and the Bullseye status effect.
［M0371］ Baund Doc	• An extremely well-rounded unit complete with big damage, evasion, durability, and the Unavoidable status effect. Great in today's meta as it's good against The-O, can survive AoE blasts, and isn't a Protagonist or Gundam-Type unit meaning it won't receive increased damage from the Zeong and Char's Z'Gok respectively. It's somewhat like a worse version of the Awakened Magna Martell, but it's still a very good pick.
［M0319］ Zanneck	• The Zanneck is a mid-range Sniper unit with decent damage and high accuracy. Because it doesn't really depend on its EX skill as much as other units, it's usable even at Potential Lv. 0. A straightforward ranged damage dealer that performs well, but not as well as the top DPS units. It also does not receive as much crit buffs from the Ez8 compared to a Bombardment unit.
［M0108］ Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (NT-D)	• The FAUC NT-D would've been an excellent mobile suit, considering it's kind of like the Zeong in the sense that they both deal big AoE damage with their EX skills while also having high hit-count weapons with good damage buffs. Unfortunately, it charges its EX gauge slower than a Zeong, so Zeong can often use its EX Skill first and deal serious damage to this unit considering it has a type advantage over it, and it receives bonus damage for being a Protagonist Unit. It can also be targeted by Char's Z'Gok and its team, given that it's a Gundam-Type unit. • Its biggest drawback is how it inflicts a -200% crit rate debuff on itself, preventing it from benefiting from critical hits. This makes it a bad pick in Ez8 teams, and if you're not using Ez8, you're missing out. On the other hand, if you don't have Ez8 anyway, this MS is a good option, just try to position it in a way where it attacks first and hopefully uses its EX skill before an enemy Zeong.
［M0333］ Gundam + G-Fighter	• The Gundam + G-Fighter is a powerful all-around mobile suit whose kit seems like it belongs to a Generic unit rather than a Sniper. It benefits from 120% movement speed, 60% evasion, 90% max HP, and 60% EX gauge recovery, though it loses all these buffs except for the max HP once its HP falls below 50%. It also won't be able to use its EX skill as it is reduced by 200% more. • As long as you keep it protected, it'll be a decent all-around ranged damage threat. Use Awakened Peche Montagne as a pilot for PvP for the instant ranged sense increase.
［M0434］ Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (NT-D)	• The Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility is an anti-Psycho-Frame Type unit that jams all units that fall under this unit category for the first 18 seconds of the battle, and will have increased critical ATK and accuracy against Jammed targets. Its EX skill disables healing, and it benefits from increased crit rate against units with healing disabled. • Although considered mainly a PvE unit, the Unicorn PF NT-D can certainly take over games even in Elite Arena, especially when against multiple Psycho-Frame Type enemies.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0100］ Hyaku Shiki	• A reliable MS capable of making the entire enemy team incapable of avoiding attacks from your allies, leading the way to many different EX Skill combos depending on whether or not you have the right units. • For PvP this can be a rather broken skill that potentially leads to powerful foes getting cut down by the Zeta Gundam, or the entire enemy party potentially getting stunned for four seconds by the Hamma-Hamma. However, it's a paltry unit otherwise.
［M0214］ Zaku I with Big Gun (Thunderbolt)	• A long-ranged executioner with a skillset that optimizes it for dealing damage from far away and consistently landing hits.
［M0122］ Gundam GP02A	• The GP02A may not look like an ideal Armored unit, but it's a devastating AoE attacker that can remove a hefty chunk of HP from its enemies with its Atomic Bazooka EX Skill. In exchange, it won't be able to avoid attacks for 20 seconds, but that's where your other units come in to finish the enemy off • When transcended, the GP02A's EX Skill gets even deadlier with a damage buff and max damage boost. This is on top of 25% more HP and 25% less damage taken from enemy attacks.
［M0258］ Banshee Norn	• This is the unit to have if you're having trouble against dodge tanks like The-O or even Green-type units in general. It's heavily matchup-dependent, but it's great at what it does best.
［M0086］ Zeta Gundam	• The Zeta Gundam used to be capable of some of the highest DPS in the game. Its extremely spammable EX Skill not only ignores an enemy's defense, but it also deals additional damage if that enemy has been hit with the Unavoidable debuff (and that damage ignores enemy DEF as well). • While it's still a serviceable unit, it doesn't fare well against the game's current DPS powerhouse units.
［M0183］ Sisquiede Titans Color	• Even though it's a Sniper unit, the Sisquiede is a long-range, heavy-hitting fighter with AoE damage and debuffs from its EX Skill. It's a versatile unit that's good in both PvP and PvE game modes.
［M0123］ Gundam GP04	• One of the best anti-Evasion unit mobile suits so far, the Gundam GP04 by itself only deals high damage with its EX Skill and gives itself a beam damage boost. But when paired with pilots like Cima Garahau (C0049), the GP04 gets the Accuracy buffs it needs to almost never miss its shots in battle. • The GP04 has made a name for itself in Arena as an unprotected Green-type assassin and as one of the best counters for The-O.
［M0029］ Qubeley	• One of the important AOE debuffers to get alongside the Hamma Hamma and Hyaku Shiki. It's a solid attacker while also being an anti-evasion unit that provides excellent value with its EX Skill, which stuns all enemies and hits them with a decent amount of damage, while also having high evasion to keep itself alive.
［M0245］ Titania	• A high evasion unit that can dominate the battlefield as it has good melee capability and heals itself whenever it evades hits. It also gets Absolute Evade status whenever it does get hit, protecting it from getting too much damage too quickly. • A little past its prime as it's not a unit that does well alongside the Gyan.
［M0251］ Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility	• Gets a 20% critical rate boost whenever it fires off its EX Skill, which also bypasses a single target's defense. Needs to be transcended, however, if you're interested in getting its Accuracy and Critical ATK buffs that come with its Transcendent skills. • It's still an excellent mobile suit, especially with the arrival of the crit rework. Arguably the best unit among the A-tier units.
［M0231］ Penelope	• Guard-oriented defensive unit. Used to be the best defensive tank in the game that could reliably shrug off high-damage attacks because of its guard rate. However, it's been demoted as crit-based units now have an easy time shredding through the Penelope's defenses. • Against teams without crit, it's still an extremely durable unit, though there are far better tanks to use when facing Ez8 teams. Its value is also hurt by the Zeong, especially if it's enhanced by an Ez8, which is a very common duo in Elite Arena.
［M0249］ V2 Gundam	• The V2 Gundam is a Blue Generic mobile suit that secures a spot on teams thanks to its EX skill, which serves as both an AOE attack and a team-wide heal. Its evasion and beam damage also grow the longer the battle goes on. An overall very solid unit, but it's not quite as good as the ones in the higher tiers.
［M0179］ Banshee Norn (NT-D)	• Can do well as an attacker in its own right while strengthening other Green-type attackers like The-O. When it uses its EX Skill, it goes into Hyper Awaken mode, which grants the Absolute Evade status. This means, that for ten seconds, it will be able to evade all attacks while causing massive damage itself. • The Banshee Norn (NT-D)'s value is limited by the Gyan, as it thrives on taking damage and drawing aggro, which doesn't happen as much if you have the Gyan on your team. That means you'll have to choose between the two, and in that case, you're almost always better off with the Gyan.
［M0280］ Unicorn Gundam (NT-D)	• Deals high damage with its EX Skill and gives buffs to other Blue-type mobile suits. Can also have the Bullseye status whenever it uses its EX Skill (since it goes into "Hyper Awaken" mode. • Can be a good Blue-type damage dealer that supports other Blue-type damage dealers like the Zeong, but is not essential to have. • One thing that limits its value is how it's a Gundam-Type and a Protagonist Unit, which makes it take increased damage from Char's Z'Gok and the Zeong. White Unicorn is more of a PvE unit than anything.
［M0409］ Victory 2 Buster Gundam	• The V2B Gundam is a tank-busting Bombardment unit with an AoE EX skill that deals bonus damage to Armored units while having a 1 million damage cap increase to its Third Weapon, on top of ramping beam damage and evasion buffs. • Unlike the V2A, it sadly doesn’t do that well in Arena considering that it struggles against Elite Arena’s most powerful and popular tank, the FAZZ. Against teams without FAZZ, however, the V2B can be considered a top-tier unit.

Mobile Suit	Tier Placement Reasoning
［M0010］ Gundam Full Armor (Thunderbolt)	• A serviceable tank and the best Fragment Quest unit by far. Its main defensive feature is the DEF buffs that it gets from both its EX and Transcendent Skills. • While it's a very good starting unit, it's not going to hold up for long against the top DPS units of today's meta.
［M0107］ Full Armor Unicorn Gundam	• Its glory days are over as it now lacks the necessary damage to take over Arena games like it used to. The FAUC’s defense no longer holds up well against today’s meta Arena picks.
［M0041］ ZZ Gundam	• A glass cannon that hits hard but needs investment and the support of other units in order to survive. • Similar to the S Gundam, the ZZ Gundam has somewhat fallen out of the meta. It’s still a potent PvE unit, but its lack of EX gauge skills holds it back in Arena where you want your MS to cast its EX as quickly as possible. Its necessity to stay healthy also holds it back, given how likely it is to receive damage early on in PvP.
［M0230］ Xi Gundam	• An Armored unit with a high-accuracy bruiser playstyle, the Xi Gundam’s value has been hurt by the Gyan, a must-have Arena unit that draws too much-unwanted aggro towards the Xi Gundam, and the Zeong, who very easily annihilates the Xi Gundam. Having the Gyan alongside it and being against a Zeong are things that are inevitable when talking about Elite Arena. It’s still a cut above the rest of the unranked mobile suits for PvE, and can still be a decent pick if you don’t have enough pieces on your team, or are just starting out.
［M0340］ Dag Doll	• Deals good amounts of damage, jams whatever it’s attacking, jams all opposing Raid units at the start of combat, and heals for 55% of the damage it deals. While it used to be strong, it is no longer good in today's meta as its damage output cannot compete with today's top Generic units, and Jamming isn't a reliable debuff in PvP given the uncertainty of whether or not it'll cushion the enemy's attacks.
