Are you ready to dive into the thrilling world of Mecha Break? This free-to-play shooter has just hit the global stage, available for Xbox and PC gamers, and it’s packed with awesome choices for Strikers. If you’re looking to dominate in the arena, we’ve got the insights you need.
Having gone through both the beta and the official launch, I can tell you that not all mechs in this game are created equal. Each one has distinct looks and unique abilities, which can greatly affect your gameplay. This article aims to guide you through the tier list, sorting out the exceptional Strikers from the rest.
Understanding the Mecha Break Tier List
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the tier list, let’s talk about how it’s structured. Several key factors have been considered:
- Ease of use
- Effectiveness in the current meta
- Diversity of in-game abilities
- Performance across different game modes
I’ve categorized the Strikers into three tiers for clarity:
- S-tier: The top-notch Strikers available at launch and in the current game version.
- A-tier: Almost S-tier quality, but with minor drawbacks.
- B-tier: Solid Strikers that are often overlooked due to stronger competition.
S-Tier Strikers
- Aquila: A must-have Sniper for any team, Aquila strikes an impressive balance of mobility and damage output. Using the Beam Cannon requires practice, but its sniper mode allows for precise manual aiming. The only downside? It might struggle against melee attackers.
- Stego: My personal favorite Attacker. When in Turret Form, it boasts a Stasis Shield to absorb frontal damage. Combine its Rocket Pods, Micro Missiles, and Rapid Rocket Pods for a formidable arsenal. In tight spots, the Haze Diffuser helps with both escape and armor buffs.
- Tricera: The ultimate beginner-friendly Defender. Its Fortress Form features repair drones, making it incredibly difficult to take down. Plus, it can transform into a turret that shields itself while providing additional protection through Escort Drones.
A-Tier Strikers
- Alysnes: With its versatile capabilities, Alysnes excels as an all-around attacker. Its Energy Autocannon and Gauss Cannons work like a charm, and it can even defend with a Complex Shield. Think of it as the Jack of All Trades within the Striker universe.
- Inferno: Although it takes skill to master, Inferno is a beast in battle. Especially useful against formidable foes like Stego, it has a Focused Emitter that can deal serious damage. Its Booster Kit allows armor regeneration, but approach carefully to maximize its potential.
- Pinaka: The go-to healer in Mecha Break, focusing primarily on supporting allies. While it excels at healing, be wary if you’re not keen on the healer role, as it lacks strong offensive capabilities.
- Welkin: If you enjoy melee combat, Welkin is your best bet. It can close the gap between itself and ranged attackers, utilizing Jamming Pulse Ejectors and AoE attacks effectively.
- Narukami: Though it sits lower in the rankings due to visibility issues, Narukami still has potential. Its Optical Camo Dome can be useful, but it’s less effective against opponents who have counter-abilities.
B-Tier Strikers
- Falcon: While decent, Falcon pales in comparison to its more powerful counterparts. Its Heavy Missile Launcher requires precise movement, making it tricky to master.
- Hurricane: Although more versatile than some Strikers, Hurricane struggles in its current meta. It’s not bad for a Defender, but it can’t quite match Tricera’s effectiveness.
- Skyraider: One of the two flying mechs, but it lacks the impact needed in today’s competitive environment. Skyraider excels at avoiding damage but falls short in delivering the necessary firepower.
Keep in mind, this list will evolve as I continue to test all Strikers, with Luminae and Panther still on the evaluation list.
Are there different Strikers in Mecha Break? Yes, the game currently offers a diverse range of Strikers, each with unique attributes. Choosing the right one can greatly enhance your gaming experience.
Which Striker is best for beginners? Tricera often stands out as the most beginner-friendly option, with its easy mechanics and helpful healing capabilities. If you’re just starting, Tricera will serve you well.
How often will the tier list be updated? This tier list will be updated regularly as I gather more data from gameplay and feedback from the community.
Why does the meta matter in choosing a Striker? The current meta reflects which mechs are proving most effective in the game’s evolving strategies. Selecting Strikers that align with the meta can give you a competitive edge.
In conclusion, diving into Mecha Break offers an exhilarating experience, especially with the right Striker at your disposal. Make sure to keep exploring related content to stay ahead in the game. For more insights and guides, check out Moyens I/O.
