Introduction
IMPORTANT!

Always try to acquire MS from limited sources! They are listed in the last section of the guide.

Some MS are going to be marked with {I}, these MS are available in the DP Store from the start too, but they are going to be harder to play than the others for various reasons (BD units/Efreet Custom relying on EXAM, Pale Rider relying on HADES, Dom lineage MS having hover movement, etc).


MS marked with (Space) or (Ground) can only be used on Space or on Ground.
Tips and Tricks
-HADES and EXAM's descriptions are wrong, you can repair your parts (Head/Legs/Back) after it deactivates, try to be behind cover when it's about to run out so you can repair 2/3 pips of the bar.
How to acquire alternate primary weapons
Some mobile suits are going to have a weapon recomendation attached to them, i do not suggest you use the MS unless you acquire the weapon, luckily they're all very cheap, this is how to get them:

.... That suit is not good for beginners, and is gacha only....

Where's the psycho zaku mark 2?

That's fair, still a good starter set though.
Bravest Cod  [author] 7 Jan @ 2:42am 
Didn't include any paid MS in the guide.

The DP shop will get an update soon anyways, i'll have to add new MS to every list.

GM Spartan from the Fairy bundle is also a very good unit to learn with.

Doesn't matter, you should be encouraging self discovery rather than giving people the "meta" options, because it ends up causing people to get too comfortable with a playstyle that discourages risk taking & skill growth.

The guide's purpose is to have newbies buy good mobile suits at first instead of using bad ones and getting wrecked without understanding why.
Jay Jonah 27 Sep, 2023 @ 9:55pm 
Honestly, this guide just encourages a lazy playstyle of "follow the meta brick road" where pilots don't actually learn any legitimate skill, instead just hop to whichever suit has the best "crutch".
Bravest Cod  [author] 23 Jun, 2023 @ 3:19pm 
Disagree with most of those tbh
