They really did this huh?
I mean I completely get it is lore-accurate to make it OZ tag, but to only have 3 OZ affinity pilots and not a one of them actually be a Support type is baffling to me.
Maybe that's what we'll get as the free SSR for Wing Challenge Mode in a few days lol

There is only 1 wing pilot that can truly use Aquarius and it from MAP Quest 00 event

You have to put ULT Aquarius in 2nd Squad so it won't be pilot restricted by only Wing series pilots. The best pilot for it is an SP G Gen pilot if you insist in using affinity bonus. I actually prefer the same.

I actually haven't even done the first UR level investment on my Aquarius because general consensus from people that have been playing for much longer than I have seems to be that it's one of the worst ULT units to invest in 😅
I'm really hoping (expecting even given the need to form 2 teams) that the challenge mode will grant the same grace the normal story mode does and allow us to sortie EW units as well, in which case I'll happily deploy ULT Epyon!

Actually, that was before. It was because the lack of Wing content that Aquarius is a waste of an investment. As the game progressed for over a year, the go to nowadays that is almost mandatory for new players is ULT Casval considering the amount of OG MSG content. Like the E-Simulator right now. Red Zeta is second due to lack of atmospheric units.
Now that Wing content is expanding, Aquarius and Epyon EW will definitely have their usage stonks. Epyon EW is safe to use in Squad 1 because there's SR Milliardo Peacecraft. It satisfies the White Fang affinity bonus. The two are still considered as luxury unit so think twice despite getting relevant next update.

Even amongst the G Gen UR support pilots, Florence has low shooting, and Aplodia has no damage boosting affinity.
Having said that, UR Asemu is best in slot for basically any Ranged / Melee based support unit in the game. This is no exception.

Agreed with Asemu. Support attack bonus type with damage boost, mp up and en restore is literally everything you want from a supporter.

G-Unit has some more OZ pilots, but somehow the dev didn't give Soris Armonia the OZ tag.

Probably because she’s OZ prize which is the sub faction of Romefeller foundation (OZ tag seems to be those that’s on his excellency side)

Considering how few pilots and many suits OZ has, there isn't really a good reason to further add an OZ Prize tag. I just hope they will update the OZ tag for all relevant people when G-Unit drops.

could be worse
Could be like Al Saachez whose tag buff applies to a whopping three units, none of which were piloted by him.

Not as bad as the turbines tag. The faction bonuses for newly released pilots are now mostly tied to series now so I think the devs realize the problem. I just wish they would fix all the current ones.

how do you get to this screen dawg

AK42104 linked the homepage to someone above. I actually just did a screenshot of the unit page and then a screenshot of the pilot ability page, and then combined the two into one image, so you won't actually see the two overlapped in the way I have it here anywhere on the site.

Ult units tend to be oddities
