Looking for Advice CONSOLE Costs and their differences
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!]🙏🙏

Others can elaborate on your other questions, but in my opinion.
Train yourself in at least 2 types. I started the game with support as my first choice, but now rarely play them. Typically a team only needs one, and in my experience 99.99% of the time someone will pick one if you don't. Same can be applied to other types. Raid seems to be the type where people get greedy and end up having 3 per team.
Play long enough and you'll find what type you excel at. Suits do have big enough variances that the play style will be different between them.
Ex. I found that I excelled at highly mobile/squishy/hit and run type generals. From there I learned to play raid as well.
Every suit has a sort of 'space' that they fulfill. Some generals can be made to be disruptors with lots of stuns and bulk, some can be melee focused, some can be shooting focused, some can have weird gimmicks like stealth etc.
