Identify Your Key Units and Build Around Them
In Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage, team formations are rarely set in stone. Whatever team you come up with will depend on what Mobile Suits and Pilots you have on hand, how much investment your MSs and Pilots have gotten, and how each one will perform their role while synergizing with others.
The first thing you want to do is to identify your best units. You'll want to build your team around or with the game's strongest meta mobile suits.
To find out which units are meta, check out Arena's most popular units, or better yet, check out the SS-tier and S-tier units from our PvP and PvE Tier Lists.
If you don't have one at all, you are probably better off starting an alt account as it is very hard to clear PvE content or be competitive in Arena without strong meta units. Starting a new account and rerolling for meta units allows you to start off with 3 or more top-tier units, so you can save on Diamonds while forming your meta team..

Understand What Your Mobile Suits Do
Now that you have your meta units, it's time to build your team. Understanding what each of your units does is extremely important, as you want to understand each one's strengths and weaknesses and try to cover for the weaknesses with your other units.
For example, if you have a Theta Plus (Sniper) or a Geymalk, you should understand that while these are premier DPS options, neither of these will last very long once they draw aggro and are under attack. To cover for this weakness, you want to deploy them behind tanky mobile suits, preferably with something like a Gyan to allow the tanks to hold aggro.
Read up on your key units' skills and then see if you can form a team whose strengths complement each other's and whose weaknesses are covered by others.
Deploy Counterpicks
On top of having to work with the units you have, your formation should depend on the units you are facing. The game has been releasing mobile suits that straight up require hard counters to be beaten. When fighting these units without their counters, these mobile suits won't take much damage at all so they can outlast your entire team and singlehandedly win the battle.
For example, a Gundam F91 (Full Power) has Absolute Evade, evasion, and a 99% EX damage reduction buff, so the only ways to beat it is by inflicting Unavoidable on it to prevent it from evading, inflicting Damage or EX Damage Taken debuffs to make it possible to harm it using EX skills, or using a combination of Bullseye + high accuracy to bypass its evasive skills. Without these tools, the F91 will not take any serious damage and will wipe out your entire team one by one.
Now that you have analyzed the enemy team, it is time to assemble the units you need to beat them.
Most Common Arena Mobile Suits and Counters
Think of Your Mobile Suit Types
Certain types have advantages over other types in a rock-paper-scissors dynamic. Red types beat Green types, Green types beat Blue types, and Blue types beat Red types. Yellow and Purple types meanwhile beat each other. This dynamic is called Type Advantage, and these advantages
Depending on what team you're facing, either in PvE or PvP, you can build teams made up of mobile suits from one type, or teams where a majority of units come from one type to counter them. This is more common in PvE modes, however, so Type is not the end-all, be-all of deciding what units to put out there.
Type advantage has become far less important in recent memory, especially since today's best units typically come with defensive statuses that require other statuses, buffs, or debuffs to beat such as Absolute Evade
In these cases, you'll need to prioritize fielding in a counter instead, since type advantage is rendered useless if a mobile suit cannot land hits in the first place anyway.

Keep Improving Your Team
With new units coming out every week, what teams beat what in Gundam UCE can change very rapidly. As of this writing, today's top units revolve around powerful status effects or unique gimmicks that overpower teams that aren't prepared to deal with them.
Your existing units can also be upgraded even further, so look to improve your key mobile suits by performing the many different upgrades on them, like Transcendence, Unit Enhancement, and Potential Unleashed.
With that in mind, you have to know which units on your team are replaceable and which aspects of your team can be improved. Pull for units you think will fit well or will be future meta staples, and continue upgrading your key mobile suits.

Sample Team Formations
Standard PvE Team
| Mobile Suit | Details |
|---|---|
 ［M0381］ The-O
|
• The game's strongest mobile suit at the time of writing, The-O is a defensive juggernaut with near-impenetrable defenses. It brushes off attacks like it's nothing, thanks to high amounts of guard rate, perfect guard, and 999% resistances in the early part of the battle. Only a very small number of mobile suits can take out The-O, as it requires Unguardable, Assault+Crit, or strong EX skills to bypass its tough defenses. • It is also great offensively thanks to its spammable Lethal EX skill, which calls down a barrage of beams from the Dogosse Giar. Having a powerful Purple-O alone should get you past most of the game's content. |
 ［M0317］ Gyan
|
• One of the best defensive units in the game, not because of its stats or defense, but because it draws enemy aggro towards its allied Armored units. This buys its allied DPS units time to do their thing and deal damage without fear of retaliation. • In this case, the Gyan will draw aggro towards the Purple-O, allowing it to scale quickly off of those buffs that it gets from guarding attacks. |
 ［M0291］ GM (GR)
|
• An R-rarity mobile suit that surprisingly works extremely well as a healer, outperforming most UR healers like the Nu Gundam variants. Despite its low max HP% heal, it can be set up to spam its EX skill at an absurdly fast rate for just a couple of thousand Unit Enhancement Pts. |
 ［M0434］ Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (NT-D)
|
• An extremely high damage crit-based attacker, the PF NT-D prevents enemies from healing with its EX skill while enjoying increased critical rate against enemies with this debuff. It's especially useful against Psycho-Frame Type units, as it jams them for the first 18 seconds of combat, and benefits from increased critical ATK and accuracy against Jammed enemies. Critical strikes also heal this unit for a flat amount of HP, greatly boosting its survivability. • Outside of its ability to jam Psycho-Frame Types, the PF NT-D cannot jam by itself. Should you need it to deal extra damage, replace one of the units on this team with a unit that inflicts Jamming to maximize its damage potential. |
 ［M0427］ Ple's Qubeley Mk-ll
|
• A modern version of the Ez8, Ple's Qubeley Mk-II gives its entire team critical ATK and crit rate, while reducing the said stats on the enemy team. This MS works very well in this team as both the Unicorn PF NT-D and the Geymalk benefit from the crit buffs this mobile suit provides. • If you don't have the Support Qubeley, use the Gundam Ez8 instead. |
 ［M0350］ Geymalk
|
• The Geymalk is one of the best PvE DPS units in the game, given how it is able to increase its damage output for the duration of the match each time it uses its EX skill. This allows it to consistently deal humongous amounts of damage with each and every attack it deals in the late game. • With Purple-O and Gyan to pull aggro away, with GM (GR)'s healing, and the rest of the units being self-sustaining units, the Geymalk has more than enough protection to survive long enough and scale to become a DPS machine. |
Meta PvP Team
| Mobile Suit | Details |
|---|---|
|
［M0381］ The-O
|
• As with most other teams in Elite Arena, the The-O (Purple) will be the ace unit of your team thanks to its near-unbreakable defense and its strong AoE capabilities. |
|
［M0427］ Ple's Qubeley Mk-ll
|
• A support that increases the entire team's critical rate and critical ATK, while also decreasing the enemy team's critical rate and critical ATK. On top of boosting the entire team's damage output, the Support Qubeley will make the Quin Mantha even better at taking out the enemy team's The-O (Purple). |
 ［M0412］ Nu Gundam HWS
|
• An Armored MS that hits Rival Units with huge damage from its EX skill. It is notably excellent against the extremely popular The-O (Purple) given how EX damage is one of its very few weaknesses. |
 ［M0325］ Quin Mantha
|
• A powerful bruiser that's paired with the Methuss, which dramatically improves the Quin's survivability, along with being able to resurrect it when fallen. Its constant access to the Assault state can be instrumental in taking out Guard/Perfect Guard-oriented units like the The-O (Purple). |
 ［M0397］ Methuss
|
• The Methuss will dramatically improve the survivability of the Quin Mantha, and will also provide decent healing for the non-Blue-type units on this team. With its EX skill, it'll be able to resurrect the Quin Mantha with 45% of their max HP restored should it fall in battle. |
 ［M0408］ Sinanju
|
• The Sinanju is an incredibly high damage self-sustaining crit-based unit with Bullseye. It's able to reach 100% crit rate without the Ez8, charges its EX skill on crit, and heals itself by 10,000 HP on crit. |
