Looking to choose the best Striker in Mecha Break? This tier list breaks down each mech by usability, role, and current meta strength, ranking them from S to B tier. Whether you prefer heavy tanks, agile attackers, or support specialists, this guide will help you find the perfect fit for your playstyle and team composition.
Best Strikers Tier List
Choosing the best Strikers in Mecha Break can be tricky—not because some are bad, but because their effectiveness really depends on your playstyle and how much time you’re willing to invest. Some mechs, like Tricera and Stego, are strong right out of the box thanks to their simple, no-fuss mechanics. Others, like snipers (Aquila, Narukami), melee fighters (Welkin, Panther), or flyers (Falcon, Skyraider), demand sharper reflexes and a deeper understanding of their tools, making them harder to master but rewarding in the long run.
Instead of ranking them strictly by power, it makes more sense to factor in how user-friendly they are. Heavier classes naturally hold their own thanks to their bulk, especially in modes focused on defense or area control—Tricera being a prime example. Every Striker has potential depending on the mode and matchup. The key is staying flexible—swapping mechs and adjusting your comp based on what the match calls for will always give you the upper hand.
S Tier
| STRIKER | INFO |
| Aquila | One of just two sniper choices available at launch, so every squad looking for long-range support will probably lean on it. What makes Aquila stand out is its surprising mobility, it’s not easy to pin down. The Beam Cannon can directly damage an enemy’s health, though landing shots takes a bit of skill. You also get access to a manual sniper mode for more precise aiming. While Aquila struggles if cornered by melee fighters, its strengths far outweigh that one weakness. |
| Tricera | Tricera stands out as a top-tier pick mostly because it’s straightforward to use and incredibly reliable in a defensive role. Its Fortress Form activates self-repairing drones, making it a real challenge to eliminate unless you deal heavy damage quickly. But it’s not just about tanking—this form also transforms Tricera into a turret, complete with all-around shields. On top of that, its Escort Drones intercept incoming missiles, adding another layer of protection. For newcomers aiming to play a high-impact Defender, Tricera is hands-down one of the easiest and strongest options out there. |
| Pinaka | Pinaka stands out as the top support Striker in Mecha Break right now, making it a key asset for any team in need of healing. It’s fairly straightforward to operate—most of the focus is on keeping both yourself and teammates healthy. On the defensive side, Pinaka can deploy a Cover Airdrop to shield against enemy fire. However, it’s not suited for aggressive playstyles; with very limited damage output, players who aren’t comfortable in a support role may find it hard to make the most of this Striker. |
| Inferno | Inferno serves as one of the strongest counters to both Stego and Tricera—especially when Tricera is in Fortress Form—thanks to its powerful Focused Emitter. While Inferno boasts impressive damage output, it’s not the easiest Striker to master. Success with it depends heavily on closing the distance without taking too much damage, even though its Booster Kit does help by regenerating armor. It’s a high-risk, high-reward mech built for skilled players. |
A Tier
| STRIKER | INFO |
| Stego | Stego shines as an Attacker thanks to its powerful turret mode, which activates a front-facing Stasis Shield to block incoming damage. It brings a strong mix of firepower to the field with Rocket Pods, Micro Missiles, and Rapid Rocket Pods working in tandem. What makes Stego even more reliable is its ability to disengage using the Haze Diffuser—a handy tool that not only helps it escape when surrounded but also reinforces armor for both itself and teammates. |
| Alysnes | Alysnes is a flexible Attacker-type Striker that fits well into nearly any team setup. It can handle long-range engagements using its Energy Autocannon and Gauss Cannons, while its Complex Shield offers solid protection when under fire. In tougher moments, the Armor Purge ability kicks in to boost its durability, and the shield can even be timed to deflect melee blows. With its well-rounded kit and adaptability, Alysnes is a reliable pick for players who want a bit of everything in one mech. |
| Hurricane | Hurricane brings a wider range of abilities to the table than Tricera, using drones for both offense and defense. While its versatility is notable, it doesn’t quite match up to Tricera’s effectiveness—especially with Fortress Form being so dominant in the current meta. Hurricane is still a decent choice for a defensive role, but it falls a bit short when compared to top-tier picks. |
| Welkin | Welkin might not rank among the strongest in the current meta, but it’s undeniably one of the most enjoyable melee brawlers to play. Its main role is to chase down and disrupt ranged Strikers—but that means getting close without being picked off from afar. The Jamming Pulse Ejector helps with this by stunning nearby enemies, giving Welkin an opening. It also packs several AoE attacks, centered around its Heavy Battleaxe and Boomerang Drones, making it a solid threat once it’s in striking range. |
B Tier
| STRIKER | INFO |
| Narukami | Narukami’s usefulness is boosted by the current limited selection. While it does offer interesting tools like invisibility and Decoy Drones that can cloak nearby allies, its effectiveness is held back by the fact that many Strikers have skills that counter stealth. The Optical Camo Dome can also cloak teammates, but with invisibility so easily countered, Narukami doesn’t hit as hard as it could—though it still finds a spot due to the lack of competition among snipers. |
| Skyraider | Skyraider, like Falcon, is one of the two aerial Strikers in the game, but it struggles to hold its ground in the current meta. While it’s great at dodging attacks and staying mobile, its overall damage output falls short—especially when compared to heavy hitters like Inferno. It’s more about agility than impact, which limits its effectiveness against stronger opponents. |
| Falcon | Falcon is a fairly capable Attacker, but it doesn’t quite measure up to some of the stronger picks available. It’s a challenging Striker to handle, demanding precise control and a solid understanding of its mechanics. The Heavy Missile Launcher, one of its key weapons, can only be used in Winged Form, adding another layer of complexity. In the current meta, Falcon feels more like a high-risk option suited for experienced players rather than a go-to choice for most. |
| Luminae | Luminae is a flexible Striker that swaps between healing in Support Mode and dealing damage in Corruption Mode. While the mode-switching takes some getting used to, it allows for strong adaptability. Its Drone Launchers, Haze Diffuser, and Support Jetwing all shift functions based on the mode. Though not as steady a healer as Pinaka, Luminae suits players who want to mix support and offense. |
| Panther | Panther is a pure melee Striker with no ranged options, relying on its Lance for charging attacks and Shield Blade for fast combos. While you can’t pair the Shield Blade with its Complex Shield, Panther stays durable with a Reinforced Complex Shield that blocks damage and prevents staggers, plus a Booster Kit that restores energy and shields over time. Since melee builds drain energy fast, this setup keeps Panther aggressive and mobile. It may not hit as hard or feel as dynamic as Welkin, but it’s a solid pick for players who prefer a more straightforward, fast-paced melee style. |
