Understanding Team Roles
In Mecharashi, every pilot brings a unique playstyle to your team based on their role. Mixing and matching these roles(Six main classes) correctly is the key to creating a powerful squad that can adapt to any battle situation. Let’s break down what each role does best, when to use them, and which mech types pair best with their playstyle.
Role |
Strength |
Recommended ST Type |
Tips |
Fighter |
Close-combat specialist. Excels at breaking enemy parts for bonus turns. |
Light / Medium |
Target arms/legs to disable enemies. Engage high-value targets first and trigger React. |
Raider |
Burst damage dealer. Can perform Link Attacks for extra hits. |
Light / Medium |
Chain attacks with allies. Great for bosses. Manage AP carefully to avoid stalling. |
Sniper |
Long-range damage dealer. Targets specific parts from afar. |
Light / Medium |
Stay far from the enemy. Prioritize disarming or crippling enemy movement. Protect from melee. |
Tactician |
AoE and debuff support. Uses tactical weapons to hit multiple targets safely. |
Medium (required for weapons) |
Apply debuffs and soften enemies. Conserve AP. Avoid frontline positions. |
Guardian |
Durable tank. Protects nearby teammates by intercepting damage. |
Heavy |
Stay beside squishy allies. Use shields and blocking positions wisely. Time defensive abilities. |
Mechanic |
Healer/support unit. Repairs ST parts and restores HP. |
Medium / Heavy |
Essential for sustain. Stay in the backline. Combine with Guardian for unbeatable survivability. |
Team Building Principles
Building a strong team in Mecharashi is more than just picking your highest rarity pilots. The right combination of roles, synergy, and strategy can make the difference between a clean win and a tough loss.
Here are the core principles to follow when building your team:
Balance vs. Specialization
Balanced Teams usually include:
1 Fighter + 1 Raider + 1 Sniper + 1 Guardian + 1 Mechanic
This setup ensures your team can take hits, heal damage, and dish out pain from both close and long range. Then you can also make Specialized Teams, these teams are built for specific goals, like:
-
Double Sniper Team – For part-targeting accuracy
-
Dual Healer Sustain – For surviving long missions
-
All Melee Burst – For fast boss takedowns
Tip: Start with a balanced team until you unlock enough units to experiment with specialized builds.
Synergy Matters
Many pilots have skills that trigger based on their allies' actions, like link attacks or support combos. For example, a Raider positioned near a Fighter might chain extra attacks, or a nearby Mechanic could auto-repair damaged parts. So don’t just focus on roles, pay attention to how their skills interact and position your team to take advantage of those effects.
Tip: Keep your high-damage units close together when using link or support mechanics to maximize their impact.
Don’t Forget Pilot and ST Compatibility
Every pilot performs best when paired with the right ST type, Light, Medium, or Heavy. For example, Snipers work best with Light or Medium STs that allow for quick repositioning and make full use of their range. Putting them in a Heavy ST slows them down and wastes their potential.
Fighters and Raiders also pair well with Light or Medium types due to their need for speed and agility. Tacticians usually match with Medium STs, since those can equip tactical weapons effectively. Guardians are best suited for Heavy STs, where they can fully utilize their defense and bulk.
Meanwhile, Mechanics work well with either Medium or Heavy types, depending on whether you want more mobility or tankiness. Always match pilots to ST types that bring out their strengths, not just what looks cool!
Counterplay Strategies
To avoid counterattacks, use Snipers and Tacticians to strike from outside the enemy's range.
Your target priority should be:
-
Arms first – to disarm enemies and reduce their damage output.
-
Legs second – to slow down melee threats and limit their movement.
-
Body last – for finishing off enemies once they’re weakened.
Make sure to trigger Support Combos, positioning really matters here. Nearby allies with support or link abilities can follow up your main attack for bonus damage.
Tip: Don’t cluster your units too tightly. Enemy AoE attacks can punish tight formations, so always balance between staying close enough for combos and far enough to avoid getting wiped out.
Early Game Team Recommendations
Here are three solid team setups to carry you through early content, each with different goals in mind.
Balanced Starter Team (All-Rounder)
A well-rounded team that works in any game mode, perfect for story, events, and simulated battles.
Pilots |
Hong (Fighter), Frida (Raider), Naomi (Tactician), Seven (Mechanic), Anna (Guardian) |
ST Loadouts |
Hong (Knuckles or Pile Bunker), Frida (Melee + SMG), Naomi (Missile Launcher), Anna (Large Shield), Seven (Repair Tools or Drone Backpack) |
Strengths |
Covers all roles, high survivability, strong single-target and AoE potential |
Weaknesses |
Not specialized; may struggle against high-damage bosses without upgrades |
Double Healer Sustain Team
For players who prefer a safer, slower approach that can survive long missions and Roguelike content.
Pilots |
Rosa (Raider), Melissa (Mechanic), Seven (Mechanic), Anna (Guardian), Shaunie (Sniper) |
ST Loadouts |
Rosa (Assault Rifle + SMG), Melissa (Support Backpack), Shaunie (Sniper Rifle), Anna (Heavy Shield), Seven (Repair Drone) |
Strengths |
Extreme durability, two mechanics to repair parts and heal; perfect for drawn-out fights |
Weaknesses |
Lower burst damage, may struggle in fast-paced or timed missions |
High-Precision Sniper Team
Ideal for taking out enemy parts from range and avoiding counterattacks. Works great in PvE and elite missions.
Pilots |
Donna (Sniper), Bella (Sniper), Kaiden (Fighter), Grant (Mechanic), Anna (Guardian) |
ST Loadouts |
Donna & Bella (Sniper Rifles), Kaiden (Knuckles + Shotgun), Grant (Support Weapon), Anna (Tank ST) |
Strengths |
Excellent at part destruction (arms, legs), triggers bonus turns often, counters melee threats |
Weaknesses |
Fragile if frontline breaks, needs careful positioning |
Tips: If you don’t pull top Mecharashi tire list units early, don’t worry. SR pilots like Kaiden, Donna, Anna, and Seven are strong enough to carry you through most early- to mid-game content with proper upgrades.
And if you’re rerolling for top pilots, OSLink’s multi-instance support and Synchronizer let you manage and level multiple accounts at once. Just play one instance, and OSLink mirrors the actions to others, making it faster and easier to choose your best starting lineup without grinding every account separately.
Team Comps for Game Modes
Different game modes in Mecharashi demand different strategies. Whether you're pushing the story or farming upgrade materials, here's how to build teams that perform best in each scenario.
Tactical Map / Story Mode
These are your main missions and progression battles. You’ll face varied enemies with different threats, so flexibility is key.
Recommended Team |
Hong (Fighter), Frida (Raider), Naomi (Tactician), Seven (Mechanic), Anna (Guardian) |
Why it works |
Balanced damage types, reliable sustain, and decent AoE from Naomi. Can handle all mission types. |
Tips: Use Naomi’s AoE early to thin out enemies, then clean up with Fighter and Raider. Keep Anna next to Seven or Naomi to protect them.
Simulated Battles
Tougher missions used to farm pilot drives and upgrade materials. Enemies often hit hard and come in waves.
Recommended Team |
Rosa (Raider), Kaiden (Fighter), Melissa (Mechanic), Anna (Guardian), Shaunie (Sniper) |
Why it works |
Rosa and Kaiden provide burst, Shaunie targets arms/legs, and Melissa keeps the team alive through heavy hits. |
Tips: Rotate healing between Melissa and Anna’s protection skills. Prioritize disabling AoE enemies first with Sniper fire.
Border Conflict (Roguelike)
Randomized maps with no team resets between fights. Long-term durability and AP management are key.
Recommended Team 1 |
Donna (Sniper), Bella (Sniper), Anna (Guardian), Grant (Mechanic), Kaiden (Fighter) |
Recommended Team 2 |
Rosa (Raider), Naomi (Tactician), Seven (Mechanic), Anna (Guardian), Shaunie (Sniper) |
Why it works |
Sniper builds are great for avoiding damage and conserving HP. Anna + Grant or Seven ensures longevity. |
Tips: Go for leg/arm shots to reduce enemy threat early. If damage is too high, replace a DPS with a second Mechanic.
Conclusion
Building your team as a Mecharashi beginner takes patience, synergy, and smart upgrades. Use these tips to assemble a powerful squad, even without top SSRs. Prioritize synergy, balance your roles, and make the most of both SR and SSR pilots. With proper planning, any squad can rise to victory. And if you want to speed things up, OSLink helps you manage multiple accounts, automate early-game grinding, and test squad setups faster, so you can focus on strategy while your PC handles the rest.
