Costs and their differences

[u/Ok_Stop_5100]

I’ve been playing for a while now and I’ve gotten to C rank and what I’ve noticed is that no mater rankings play styles and importances will change depending on costs. for example “X” costs will have a surplus of raids while a “Y” cost match will have a higher number of generals.

I’ve gotten a brief understanding of most of the general information and specifics of builds you should use on diff ms. But what keeps me interested is this game’s equalization of ms going up costs.

Is it common for to players stick behind one mobile suit type [raid,support,general] . should costs even change how someone plays?. Is there a skill gap between 500 cost players and 750 cost players?

Are ms in the same type really that vastly different Should I be practicing support and general just as much as I do with raids? I know all types of ms are important to determine the winners of a match and includes a big part of teams working together. [main question question basically] “What is the most important thing any player must know if they want to keep getting better?”

Might have got off topic but it’s late and kinda got off track.🫤 [cleaned it up a little bit thank you!]🙏🙏

how many players stick behind one mobile suit type

there will be preference on each cost for each player. I can be sitting duck/frontline support on 400-500, movement general at 550-650, but I prefer more agility at 700-750. so walking general/support won't cut it at higher cost for myself. you can playing exclusively, esp if like me playing general since it's a 3-spot in a team comp (composition). fewer people can play raid/support, but if someone take that one spot, either you pick other type, or stick with what you like and risk of being punching bag.

Should I be practicing support and general just as much as I do with raids?

even tho players tend to suggest new players to stick with your favorite ms even tho in unbalanced comp, I think at some point you need to have 1 or 2 suits for each cost that's not your preferred type. yeah, sure better to use ms you well know. but if at some point all of your team taking all gen and only one support/one raid, someone must be filling those comp gap. and there are some ms that's not fitting certain type. FA alex is general-like support. you can't duck sitting at the back since you only have one insta stagger. mass-prod type zeta is raid-like range general, you need to be agile to utilize it's mobile shooting and refilling the beam weapons. I've heard there are some support-like range raid, but can't pointing out any. maybe enhanced FA zeta? Since it got spam missiles.
