=============
Introduction INTRODC
=============
Super Robot Wars 3 has a nasty habit of giving you far too many pilots than
you'll ever use, and picking the ones you level up can be a challenge in
itself. There are a few FAQs out there pointing out where you get characters
and mecha, but the pilot abilities are generally ignored. I've tried to pick
out as many of the pilots to get a read on their relative strengths and list
them out for you to choose your own personal team.
------------------------------
Stat and Ability explaination STATROW
------------------------------
Every pilot has 6 basic statistics, 4 areas of adaptablility, 6 Ability slots,
and a Spirit Point pool. The statistics are as follows:
-Power: Similar to a strength stat in RPGs, this effects the general
ability of a pilot to hurt a target.
-Piloting: Similar to an agility stat in RPGs, this effects the evasion
and damage reduction of a pilot when getting attacked. May also effect
critical hits(unconfirmed).
-Morale: Constantly changing statistic during battle, it is an overall
multiplier to everything dealing with your pilot and mecha. Also needed
at specific minimum values for some special attacks.
-Hit%: Base accuracy of all attacks made by the pilot.
-Response: Effects the rate at which your pilot dodges incoming attacks.
Pilots with 130 Response or higher get 2 actions a round.
-Intuition: A static(not changing) stat that corresponds with Piloting
and Hit%, can be used to measure the general effectiveness of a pilot.
*An important note is that Piloting, Hit%, and Response are limited by the
Response of the mecha you put the pilot in.*
Adaptability measures your pilot's overall ability to function in an
environment and is added to the mecha's to give a composite value. This value
points at the environment that the attack is landing in. Both pilot and mecha
can be rated at 1-7, 7 being highest. Firing a weapon from a mecha with a
combined value of 7 at a mecha with a combined value of 14 will result in much
less damage and a lower Hit% than the other way around, so beware of the
environment you're fighting on(both attacking and defending!).
Abilities, also known as Spirit Powers, are the Pilot-specific special moves
that can turn the tide of battle. They can also make or break a Pilot's
usefulness. These are the possible abilities your pilots may learn, with the
number in parenthesis as the Spirit Point cost:
-Accel (10): Increases movement by 5 for an action.
-Fervor (50): Next attack does double damage.(may still be evaded)
-Flash (30): In the next battle, automatically evades the enemy attack.
-Focus (50): Intuition +50 for a full turn.
-Friend (90): Heals all allied units by 50% of their total HP.
-Guts (30): Heals pilot's mecha by 1/3 of it's max HP.
-XGuts (70): Heals pilot's mecha completely.
-LockOn (40): Next attack automatically hits.
-Love (140): Heals all allied units completely
-Luck (20): Next action gives double EXP and money.
-Rage (200): Deals 10-1000 damage to all enemy units.
-Supply (80): Restores the mecha energy and ammo of target ally.
-Yell (80): Raises Morale by 15.

Entry Format PLTFRMT
-------------
Each pilot has an entry that looks like follows:
_______________________________________________________________________________
AI Unit LV1 Intuition: 150 Response:~LV58
Power: 480/13, 1200/43 | Hit%: 100/18, 150/35, 200/? Piloting: 80%
SP1: (-)Focus SP2: (14)Accel SP3: (22)Luck | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (35)Fervor SP5: (47)LockOn SP6: (55+)?? | 4/6/2/6
Join Condition: Start of game
Leave Condition: Leaves Mission 6: Seaside Panic taking the mecha it is in.
Notes: this is an example, not a real character you can get
-The top line has the pilot name, the level you get them at, their static
Intuition score, and the level they clear the 130 Response threshold for their
second action a round. If there is a tilde (~) that means the threshold is
estimated, not confirmed.
-The second line takes 2 sample Power ratings at specified levels, the levels
the pilot clears 100, 150, and 200% accuracy, and the general ratio of Piloting
skill to Response.
-The 3rd and 4th lines have the Spirit Powers of the pilot in the order and
level they are acquired at, with (-) meaning that the pilot has the ability
when they have joined you. Also on the right are the Adaptability scores of
the pilot.
-Join and Leave conditions are supplied for all characters. This will prevent
you from spending time building up a character that dies in a plot point!
-Notes include requirements for plot, special interactions with other pilots,
general observations, etc.
-If there is an X in any field, that means you won't have the chance to get
that particular trait.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================
Super Robot Pilots SRPMAIN
===================
Super Robot pilots generally only pilot their own specific mecha, with the
exceptions of the Mazinger team and the Coplander team. These pilots depend
on the high armor and hitpoints of their robots to survive a battle. They also
have a very high power rating, so any attack they make is sure to hurt. All
Super Robot pilots are available no matter what decisions you make during the
game. The only difference from the alternate story paths would be when you get
them.

Leave Condition: None
Notes: One of the 'broken' set of characters, he's mobile like a Real Robot
pilot but rides a Super robot. Cyflash x2 is your friend.

Banjou Haran LV20 Intuition: 178 Response: LV51
Power: 1780/50, 1340/34 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/31, 200/46 Piloting: 82%

the best Super Robot pilots.

_______________________________________________________________________________
Hayato Kami LV6 Intuition: 168 Response: LV55
Power: 1790/51, 1540/42 | Hit%: 100/13, 150/31, 200/44 Piloting: 83%
SP1: (-)Luck SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)XGuts | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)Focus SP5:(26)Fervor SP6:(40)Friend | 5/7/2/5
Join Condition: Starting Character
Leave Condition: None
Notes: The 'core' of the Getta team and the original 'broken' set. The first
Getta pilot to get up to 130 Response, useful for Getta Vision.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Musashi Tomoe LV6 Intuition: 158 Response: LV X
Power: 1100/25, 1580/42 | Hit%: 100/16, 150/34, 200/48 Piloting: 82%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2: (-)Fervor SP3: (-)XGuts | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)Yell SP5:(10)LockOn SP6:(15)Accel | 2/6/7/4
Join Condition: Starting Character
Leave Condition: Always takes the Getta on his own during In Extreme Sorrow.
Notes: The 'foundation' of the Getta team and the original 'broken' set. When
you lose him, it doesn't matter because Benkei is almost identical.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Benkei Kuruma LV40 Intuition: 151 Response:~LV65
Power: 1840/52, 0000/00 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/--, 200/47 Piloting: 83%
SP1: (-)Accel SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)Focus | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)XGuts SP5: (-)Yell SP6: (-)Friend | 2/6/7/4
Join Condition: Automatically joins during Countdown
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Replaces Musashi's position in the Getta 'broken' team. The first
mission you use him is pretty much the last time you'll actually use him.
Becomes a Yell bot to give Ryouma access to his final attack.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Akira Hibiki LV15 Intuition: 172 Response: LV51
Power: 1150/30, 1730/51 | Hit%: 100/16, 150/35, 200/54 Piloting: 76%
SP1: (-)LockOn SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)Focus | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)XGuts SP5:(22)Yell SP6:(31)Accel | 7/6/5/6
Join Condition: Automatically joins during Brave Reideen.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: He's actually a middle-road pilot, having good reactions and decent
power. The main reason to take him into later missions should be if you
took the story path to get his hidden final attack.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Duke Fleed (Taisuke) LV36 Intuition: 168 Response: LV59
Power: 1830/51, 1410/36 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/--, 200/47 Piloting: 89%

SP4: (-)Yell SP5: (-)Friend SP6: (-)Love | 6/7/6/7
Join Condition: Automatically joins 1 or 2 missions after Storm of Jaburo
depending on which route you take.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Technically a Mazinger team member, but he can't be swapped out for some
odd reason. I'd much rather have his sister in the seat of Grendazer!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Shuu Shirakawa LV50 Intuition: 182 Response: LV53
Power: 1680/50, 2190/68 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/--, 200/-- Piloting: 87%

Join Condition: Automatically joins during Rabi en Rose.
Leave Condition: If you have less than 420 turns and he's out at the end of
Final Battle, he won't be available in the hidden mission.
Notes: The last super robot and pilot you get, available for the final stretch

Mazinger Team SRPMZNG
--------------
The Mazinger team can switch between Mazinger Z, Aphrodite A, Venus A, Diana A,
Great Mazinger, DoubleSpazer, Drill Spazer, and Marine Spazer. The exception is
Duke Fleed, who remains in the Grendizer and is listed above.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Kouji Kabuto LV6 Intuition: 169 Response:~LV59
Power: 1700/49, 1300/35 | Hit%: 100/15, 150/32, 200/47 Piloting: 80%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2: (-)XGuts SP3: (-)LockOn | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)Flash SP5:(30)Accel SP6:(45)Fervor | 6/7/4/6
Join Condition: Starting Character
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Good for solid and consistent damage.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Sayaka Kyuu LV3 Intuition: 171 Response: LV61
Power: 1590/51, 1030/31 | Hit%: 100/17, 150/34, 200/49 Piloting: 81%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2: (-)XGuts SP3: (6)Flash | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (8)LockOn SP5:(10)Luck SP6:(33)Friend | 5/7/4/6
Join Condition: Starting Character
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Surprisingly good, she dodges often. Weakest power of the Mazinger
team. Put her in one of the Mazingers to compensate, and she'll do well.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Hikaru Makiba LV31 Intuition: 172 Response: LV53
Power: 1850/55, 1420/40 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/39, 200/57 Piloting: 81%
SP1: (-)Luck SP2: (-)Friend SP3: (-)Love | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4:(40)Fervor SP5:(44)Yell SP6:(50)Supply | 7/5/7/6
Join Condition: Joins when Duke Fleed and Grendazer join.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Strong power and good abilites. LockOn would be nice to compensate for
her relatively low accuracy, though she's a great support pilot. You may
want to put her in the Diana A between the time she gets her second action
and Jun's second action.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Tetsuya Ken LV35 Intuition: 169 Response:~LV59
Power: 1690/46, 1380/35 | Hit%: 100/--,150/--, 200/48 Piloting: 80%
SP1: (-)Accel SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)LockOn | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)XGuts SP5:(43)Friend SP6:(50)Fervor | 7/7/5/5
Join Condition: Joins automatically in the Storm of Jaburo
Leave Condition: None
Notes: While he is stronger than Kouji, his lack of Flash makes him less
desireable in later levels when you want to attack without getting hit back
_______________________________________________________________________________
Jun Honoo LV33 Intuition: 170 Response: LV63
Power: 2010/61, 1230/33 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/34, 200/48 Piloting: 86%
SP1: (-)Accel SP2: (-)Luck SP3: (-)Guts | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)Flash SP5: (-)XGuts SP6: (-)Yell | 7/7/5/5
Join Condition: Joins automatically in the Storm of Jaburo
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Basically a stronger version of Sayaka. For some reason, she usually
ends up at the top of the pilot list a lot. I reccomend her for the
Diana A since she can use Accel to compensate for its poor mobility.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Maria Fleed LV42 Intuition: 172 Response: LV53
Power: 1560/42, 1950/56 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/--, 200/48 Piloting: 84%
SP1: (-)Luck SP2: (-)LockOn SP3: (-)Fervor | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)XGuts SP5: (-)Love SP6:(51)Supply | 6/7/5/7
Join Condition: In the Sister! mission, have Duke talk to her and have her
survive until the end of the scenario.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: This girl is violent! She's stronger than Kouji and has Luck. Don't let
the Love and Supply skills fool you, she's a front-line headbasher. She's
the best of the Mazinger team pilots, you'd better get her!
**Actually a hidden pilot.

Coplander Team SRPCPLN
---------------
The 3 Coplander pilots can switch between the Bluegar, Pantagruel, and
Garganchua mechs.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Jinguuji, Isao LV15 Intuition: 168 Response:~LV58
Power: 1160/35, 1020/29 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/32, 200/46 Piloting: 88%
SP1: (-)Accel SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)Fervor | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)Yell SP5: (-)XGuts SP6:(22)Focus | 7/6/5/6
Join Condition: Automatically Joins during the mission Brave Reideen
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Statistically good, but gets left in the dust by the other Coplanders.
Geared for strong offense, but you need defensive abilities later in the
game. Also painfully slow, so why bother leveling a single action pilot
when you have 2 other doubles?
_______________________________________________________________________________
Rei Asuka LV12 Intuition: 178 Response: LV37
Power: 1400/45, 1000/29 | Hit%: 100/15, 150/33, 200/48 Piloting: 64%
SP1: (-)Accel SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)Flash | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)XGuts SP5:(20)Focus SP6:(50)Love | 7/6/4/5
Join Condition: Automatically joins during the mission Brave Reideen
Leave Condition: None
Notes: She dodges very well and is very quick, so she rides Pantegruel in my
runs. Has most of the skills that count, and is the first Super Robot pilot
to get her second action by a large margin.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mari Sakurano LV1 Intuition: 165 Response: LV38
Power: 1450/47, 1000/28 | Hit%: 100/28, 150/42, 200/59 Piloting: 80%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2:(10)Luck SP3:(20)XGuts | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4:(25)Supply SP5:(27)LockOn SP6:(30)Love | 6/6/4/5
Join Condition: Automatically joins after the mission Brave Reideen
Leave Condition: None
Notes: My favored pilot of the Bluegar, since she has support Spirit Powers.
Luck lets her pop the occasional baddie to keep her level on par with the
rest of your pilots.

Hidden SRPHIDN

Maria Fleed is also a hidden pilot, but I listed her in the Mazinger Team.

Ryune Souldark LV38 Intuition: 174 Response: LV49
Power: 1250/38, 1760/56 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/--, 200/45 Piloting: 79%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2: (-)XGuts SP3: (-)Flash | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)Focus SP5: (-)Yell SP6:(42)Rage | 7/7/5/7
Join Condition: In her own mission, destroy all DC forces before they kill her,
then after she has a speech box and refills life, defeat her.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Once she hits 130 response, she becomes Bright's second ALL weapon. Pop
her out and fire her map weapon, then jump back on the ship to reload!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Kochou Oni LV34 Intuition: 162 Response: LV58
Power: 1310/38, 1880/58 | Hit%: 100/--, 150/--, 200/48 Piloting: 88%
SP1: (-)Luck SP2: (-)Guts SP3:(36)Friend | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4:(38)Love SP5:(40)Supply SP6:(42)Rage | 7/7/4/6
Join Condition: In the Storm of Jaburo mission, have the Getta team talk twice
and Kochou will join you.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Seems to be geared specifically for finishing off weakened enemies and
has many support skills, but low SP. Fairly good accuracy and good power,
but the robot she pilots is weak. Easy to level, very survivable.

==================
Real Robot Pilots RRPMAIN
==================
All real robot pilots in this game can freely switch between any real robot.
Real robot pilots generally depend on evasion to survive in battle, since their
rides have lower armor and hitpoints than the super robots in the game. They
also tend to have higher accuracy and get their second action earlier. This
section is broken up into 3 parts to account for the different pilot selection
you recieve based on the choices you make.

Static/All Path RRPSTTC

All pilots in this section are available to you no matter which story path you
take.

Bright Noah LV6 Intuition: 171 Response: LV58
Power: 1010/38, 1520/60 | Hit%: 100/17, 150/34, 200/49 Piloting: 90%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2: (-)Accel SP3:(10)LockOn | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4:(17)Luck SP5:(22)Focus SP6:(39)Fervor | 6/6/4/7
Join Condition: Starting Character
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Okay, he's not a robot pilot, but he's technically from this genre so
I put him here. He seems to need target practice most of the time, but
will eventually outgrow each ship they put him in. This is bad since you
can't upgrade the ship's response.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Amuro Rei LV8 Intuition: 200 Response: LV36
Power: 1010/37, 1350/52 | Hit%: 100/14, 150/26, 200/39 Piloting: 68%
SP1: (-)Accel SP2: (-)Guts SP3: (-)Fervor | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4: (-)XGuts SP5: (-)Yell SP6:(24)Friend | 6/6/5/7
Join Condition: Starting Character
Leave Condition: None
Notes: The fastest character you get, his best ability is dodging incoming fire
and taking no damage. This loses its novelty later in the game when enemy
accuracy takes a huge jump and you realize Amuro has average-low Power.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Kai Shiden LV2 Intuition: 172 Response: LV57
Power: 980/37, 1250/49 | Hit%: 100/17, 150/34, 200/49 Piloting: 80%
SP1: (-)Guts SP2: (4)Luck SP3: (6)Yell | Sky/Land/Sea/Space
SP4:(11)Accel SP5:(20)Fervor SP6:(28)Focus | 4/6/3/6
Join Condition: Starting Character.
Leave Condition: None.
Notes: I've tried to like Kai. Unfortunatly he keeps getting hit, and his
skills don't make up for his flaws. Statistically better than Fa except for
Intuition, which seems to cripple his effectiveness. Use him only for Luck.

Notes: Not really worth leveling since you lose him automatically.

Amuro talked to Char and you clear the mission Pursuit Battle.
Notes: An exceptional Real Robot pilot with all-round good abilities and strong
power. Be careful about losing her!

Leave Condition: Will leave after the Into Space mission if Amuro talked to
Char during the opening missions.
Notes: Turns out pretty good if you build her up, even if her power is on par
with Amuro. She's stronger than Fa if you want someone in the Methuss that
can actually fight off potshots. An aggressive support pilot.

Join Condition: Automatically joins shortly after G-3.
Leave Condition: Technically won't leave, but if you defeat Scirocco with him
and you did not recruit Four, he will be crippled and useless as a pilot.
Notes: An excellent pilot with enough accuracy to make up for not having
LockOn to use with Luck and Fervor. His only failing is his Amuro Power.

your robots alive. Her low SP is her main weakness, but it's managable.

Leave Condition: Lose him if Amuro talked to Char during the starting missions,
you chose to go attack DC after the Suspicion mission, and you launched him
the Terror! Mobile Big Zam! mission.
Notes: Slightly stronger than the average Real Robot pilot. I see him as a
weaker, less useful version of Kou.

Notes: Good power for real robot pilot. Good for mop-up and grabbing cash with
timely kills under luck effect. Consider her for a support unit to kill
expensive enemies with Luck skill. Ignore Rage, it's not useful by the time
you get enough SP to use it.

Join Condition: Joins after the mission Shangri La.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: Of the group of pilots that get dumped on you after the mission, she's
the only one with most of her skills already learned. Average accuracy, and
has a decent spread of spirit powers. She's a fair pilot, but you have
access to so many better pilots.

Leave Condition: None.
Notes: Below average at just about everything, he's not that useful as a
pilot. His only good statistic is power, but you can find better alternates
to put in the hotseat. Almost identical to Slugger except for his last
Spirit Power which takes rediculously long to get.

SP4:(20)Focus SP5:(26)Yell SP6:(38)LockOn | 5/6/3/7
Join Condition: Joins after the mission Shangri La.
Leave Condition: None
Notes: A fairly poor pilot until he gets his final skill. His lowish accuracy
is compensated by the LockOn skill, and combined with Luck, should make a
decent pilot for something that hits once very hard, like the Hyaku Shiki.
Otherwise he needs to be in something with funnels.

worse than Bernie.

Notes: Stronger than Amuro, but that's not saying much. Still, she's better
than several other pilots you have at that point. Develops into a fairly
good support pilot, with decent accuracy and power. Dodges well.

Join Condition: Joins with Kou only if you chose to investigate the mysterious

did not overshoot your atmospheric entry.

Hero Path RRPHERO
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the first main branching point of the game story, and is triggered by
defeating Char without talking to him with Amuro in the first few stages. This
path tends to be slightly easier. I call this the Hero path due to the pilots
you get being saved/turned to your side as opposed to canon pathos.

Char Path RRPCHAR

If you convince Char in the first few missions, you switch to this parallel
story path. This path tends to be easier early on, but much more difficult as
the story progresses. Your choice after the mission Suspicion is a pseudo-
branch point, but it's a minor change in story outcome. This path tends to
follow actual canon storylines more closely.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
========================
Comments and Strategies STRTTRK
========================
-Whether or not you talk to Char with Amuro in the first 3-4 missions will have
a HUGE impact on the course of the game and the pilots you'll have access
to. The most significant would be the loss of several Real Robot pilots.
-Luck skill is your friend. It doubles your exp, and killing 'boss' type mecha
gets you plenty of cash to upgrade your own robots. Bring at least 2 per
scenario so you can take advantage of expensive kills.
-Pilots that have Luck, LockOn and Fervor skills quickly jump to the top of
your pilot ranking since they can walk up to a boss and beat the lunch
money out of them. This is the Holy Trinity of the game, as bosses
frequently have high HP, are hard to hit, and are worth a lot of cash and
experience.
-The Getta team is 'broken'. All 3 pilots can be used, they share exp and the
robot, AND they all get the Spirit skill effects that any of them uses.
This means switch to Hayato and use Luck before switching to the mode you
want to attack with to maximize exp. This gets even worse with a round
kicked off with Yell, Fervor, LockOn, Flash, and Luck all fired off before
destroying your opposition.
-Real Robot pilots in this game get the shaft for ride choices, since they will
mostly be outdated in a mission or two. You'll also get far too many of
these pilots that you'll never need and often terribly underleveled. Nu
Gundam is an excellent way of leveling up potential pilots given its long
range accurate funnels and I-Shield. That toy is wasted on Amuro. :D
-Most of the Super Robot pilots are exclusive to their ride. Take this into
account when deciding on your pilots to level, since those that have their
backsides attached to the pilot seat will ultimatly be defined by their
robot with a little consideration for Spirit Powers or statistics.
-Combattler V will always be piloted by Hyouma, and the other pilots are only
available when you separate. This is a silly thing to do, as the
individual crafts are weak and have low HP. I haven't managed to get them
to recombine without a story event.
-The Mazinger Team needs a close look. All the girls have the Luck skill, while
the guys bring the hurt. Maria, the hidden pilot, is a balance of offense
and speed that makes her the best. In my first run, Sayaka blew past Kouji
after the 3rd stage and left him in the dust. Having the girls exclusively
in the hotseats of the attack robots will usually pan out for maximum cash
farming, due to their Luck and high-damage capability.
-Combo units look real cool until you realize that the pilot in the backpack
gets no exp while combined. That being the case, Spazers and the
G-Defensor are pretty useless since you could bring another offensive or
defensive unit out that would actually level up your pilot if you attack.
-Yes, I know Boss Borot isn't listed. He's about the same joke as he was in the
anime, so you only really launch him if you want a sacrifice to bait the
enemies into a certain location to blast with the Argamma's Himega cannon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================
Reccomended Pilots PLTCHSE
===================
My reccomended pilots are biased heavily towards having Luck, but also take
into account survivability. Here's the list:
Super robot pilots-
Banjou Haran, the Getta team, Duke Fleed, Mari Sakurano, Rei Asuka, Masaki
Andoh, Sayaka Kyuu, and Hikaru Makiba are the core group of Super Robot
pilots I've successfully run. I also reccomend you take the extra step of
recruiting and using Ryuune Souldark and Maria Fleed.
The Mazinger girls all have the Luck skill, but also have good support and
offensive abilities. Rei is an excellent pilot for the offensive Coplander
robot, while Mari becomes your number one support flier. Banjou I reccomend
because of his very balanced ability set and his strong offensive ability. Duke
seems to end up being a support mech for me, since his high HP robot lets him
wade into battle while having the Friend healing ability on tap for when your
troops get banged up. Masaki and Ryuune are excellent crowd clearers, but be
careful not to let them wipe out everything and cause your other pilots to
become painfully underleveled. Getta team: broken, kills stuffs lots.
Real robot pilots-
Fa Yuri, Reccoa Rond, Sayla Mass, Camille Viden, Judou Ashita, Lou Ruka and
Kou Uraki all work well. Get Four Murasame and Elpy Puru as well.
You'll notice that I don't list Amuro Rey as a reccomended pilot; he's a great
early-to-mid game pilot until everyone starts getting their second action. Try
using him as the Methuss pilot after he hits 130 response to maximize your
healing ability, then faze him out in favor of Judou. Judou's pretty much Amuro
with much greater Power and slightly less dodge. Kou Uraki will be your power
pilot in the late game, since most real robot pilots are relatively weak and
enemy armor gets pretty thick. Lou and Camille are both pretty nice pilots all-
round, since they both have Luck. Lou is nicely powerful, while Camille hits
everything he aims at.
Optional path pilots: Katsu Kobayashi, Quess Palaya and Anavel Gato.
Katsu makes a pretty nice support pilot in case you want to switch Fa out of the
Methuss for a bit. Quess should replace Amuro if you're still using him when you
find her. Gato is an improved version of Kou, and can take over as your strong
man when he shows up. Alternatly, you can just ignore Kou to focus on other
pilots and use Gato when he shows up, since that's about the time you'll be
hurting for power pilots.

Kudos to Ace Whatever (

since I ended up using it for a lot of info when I couldn't remember most
of the details of how to get people.
