Overview

• Destructoid’s July 2 three-tier list places Aquila, Stego and Tricera in its S tier for mobility, damage and support versatility.
• Dexerto’s July 2 four-tier guide ranks Pinaka, Stego, Panther and Aquila as essential picks and isolates Inferno as the only C-tier mech.
• The competing lists use different criteria—Destructoid weighs playability and performance, while Dexerto factors in recent nerfs, role specialization and meta trends.
• Early live-service events and developer patches have already prompted balance tweaks, keeping Striker effectiveness in flux.
• Players are using both tier systems and community analyses to optimize mech selections in modes such as Ace Arena, Operation VERGE and the PvPvE extraction event.
