Why do I keep Losing at the Arena - Gundam UC Engage

Losing at the Arena can be disheartening to Gundam UCE players who want to get to the top of the PvP rankings. But read our guide to see all the different reasons a player keeps losing at the Arena, and what to do to stop losing.

Why Do I Keep Losing at the Arena?

Common Arena Defeat Causes


Not Having the Right Units

Not the right units - Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage

Even if an opponent has a similar or slightly less CP than the player, the player can still lose if the enemy has units that directly counter theirs. This can be in terms of the enemy MS being a type that counters the player's mobile suits (Blue-type being strong against Red-type MSs, but weak against Green-type MSs, etc.), or the enemy having a stronger EX skill than the player's.

Before starting a battle in the Arena, it is important to check the kinds of mobile suits the enemy has, and determine whether they directly counter the player's units or have EX skills that allow them to do that.

Units Don't Have Enough Investment

Low Investment Zeta Gundam - Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage

Another reason a player's MS team could have lost to an opponent's team is that the opponent's mobile suits have better stats, transcendent skills, and modules.

Even if two the same mobile sutis have the same level, the one with the higher Transcendence, Potential Unleashed, Enhancements, and Custom Level will win out in the end.

Having proper and better modules also goes a long way in making a mobile suit stronger than an opponent with a similar level.

The Player Used the Wrong Deployment Scheme

Deployment - Gundam UC Engage

Another possible reason a player could have lost in Arena is that their unit deployment did not take full advantage of their mobile suits' category and type advantages over their enemies.

Players are advised not to rely on the Auto-Deploy feature during battles since it is better to put mobile suits in front of enemies they are stronger against. This way, the player can boost their chances of their units winning quickly, allowing them to gang up on other units and potentially win the battle quicker.

Invest in Mobile Suits and Pilots

Fully Transcendent Titans - Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage

The best way for players to overcome opponents in the Arena is to raise their units' stats and skills by unleashing their Potential and Transcending them.

Players will need MS blueprints and character pieces to raise a unit's potential unleashed level, while Haro Coins are needed to transcend units.

Players can collect these in various ways, such as buying them from the shop in the case of blueprints/pieces or building a Haro Coin farm in the case of Haro Coins.

Grind for Better Modules, More Resources

Modules - Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage

Another way a player could have an edge over their enemies is to get better Modules for their mobile suits. Modules give a mobile suit buffs to useful stats such as higher Evasion, higher Beam/Projectile damage, more HP, and others.

These modules are primarily obtained through Co-Op Battle, while special modules are obtained through the Raid Battle event. Special modules can also be bought from the Recycle Shop with Recycle Points.

Maintain Arena Ranking

Ranking Rewards - Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Engage

Even if a player keeps losing at the Arena, they should still be mindful of their ranking every season. When an arena Season ends, all participants are rewarded various amounts of Diamonds, Arena Medals, and Recycle Points, which are all important when it comes to making mobile suits stronger.

As long as a player maintains their rank by setting a good Defensive team and not losing, it's alright to not win and climb the ranks outright.
