7/28/2019 SROW2 Character Guide

1/37

============INTRODUCTION============

Hi, this is FullArmourEva00/EvangelionZeta. Yeah, I've finally decided totry my hand at FAQ writing. ^_^ Basically, this guide is a meant to be a

"complete" listing of information regarding the characters from Super RobotTaisen Original Generation 2, which was released by Atlus in the USA onNovember 21, 2006.

This won't be a complete listing of everything. Most particularly, therewill be nothing on stats for a few reasons. Firstly, OG2 features the PPsystem, which allows you to increase stats whenever you want, as long asyouhave the PP for it. Secondly, while I've never checked for myself, I haveheard that the character's stats are not consistent every playthrough, andmay vary. Lastly, I am far too lazy to bother levelling all the charactersto the same level and list their stats. >_> If you want stats, wait fora future update or something.

===============VERSION HISTORY===============

Version 1.0 (07/11/06):First "complete" version of the FAQ, with everything except for statslistedfor most characters.

Version 1.01 (07/11/06):Fixed a couple of errors people on the GameFAQs board pointed out. Notmuchelse though.

Version 1.1 (22/12/06):Added some stats, fixed up a couple more errors.

======FORMAT======

Mecha:The mecha the character pilots.

Relationships:An interesting hidden attribute, first brought to light amongthe English SRW community by JL Lee from the GameFAQs Message Boards(correctme if I'm wrong?). Basically, when a character has a relationship withanother character, they will have a slight boost in stats. Lovers willhaveattack power boosted, friends will have dodge and hit rates boosted andrivalswill have critical hit rates boosted. Relationships CAN be one-sided. Forexample, Princess Shine has level 3 love for Rai, yet Rai has no love forShine. ;_;

Ace Bonus:A bonus the character gets when they reach 50 kills. Thesegenerally affect character stats, although there are exceptions.

Will Gains:How various actions affect the will of the character.


2/37

Attack Hit:The character's attack successfully hits the enemy.Attack Missed:The character's attack misses the enemy.Dodge Success:The character successfully dodges the enemy's attack.Dodge Fail:The character is hit by the enemy.Ally Defeated:An ally is defeated.

Kill:The character defeats an enemy.

Spirits:The listing of the character's spirits, with the SP required inbrackets. For now, I won't be listing the effects of the spirits, but ifI have the time I'll update this FAQ with them eventually.

Stats:Character stats at level 50, with no modifiers. I've heard statsvaryeach playthrough (perhaps it's like Fire Emblem?), so what I have may varyfrom your game.

Terrain Ratings:The listing of the character's terrain ratings. In order,they are Air, Land, Water and Space.

Comments:A few comments I will make about the character. Generally, itwillbe limited to the above information, although I may occasionally makereference to character stats.

Rating:A rating I give the character between A+ and C. A+ means that you'dprobably be stupid NOT to use them. A means they're very good, and it'sreallyworth considering them. B+ means they're above average, but not reallythatessential. B means they're average. C+ means they're below average. C isgenerally reserved for battleships. ^_^ As a rule, I generally don't givepilots who are primarily there for their spirits anything over a B.

Comments:Improved from OG1. Decent natural skills and will gains, but Cybusterprobably won't be getting hit enough to take advantage of some of them.EXCELLENT ace bonus, which makes up for Masaki's weak accuracy stat (one ofthe problems in OG1), and his spirits are much better too now that Strikedoesn't cost 30 SP. >_> I'd recommend getting him Gunfight if you haveenough

PP, since some of Cybuster's more important attacks (Hi-Familiar, CosmoNova,Cyflash) are shooting based.

Comments:Like Masaki, Lune really isn't going to get hit enough to take advantage ofher +2 will gain for failing to dodge. On the other hand, she has aKICKASSace bonus (that's +22% damage when she's next to Masaki, +44% with Attackerand +64% with Revenge o_o), a good spirit list and a nice selection of

naturalskills. She doesn't kick as much ass as Masaki, but she still kicks ass.^_^

Comments:Excellent will gains, great natural skills (Focus!), mixed spirits (goodcosts for focus, alert and strike, but scan is useless) and a ratheraverageace bonus (unless you really need criticals for whatever reason).Honestly,Mai is probably better in the R-Gun, although Villeta has an easier time

surviving earlier on thanks to her S terrains.

Comments:Kicks just as much ass as the rest of his family. Great relationship list,great will gains, great spirit list, great everything, basically. Notably,his ace bonus basically adds an extra 10% hit and evade to genius, which isquite scary. He's pretty much overshadowed by Ratsel in everything, butthatdoesn't mean he doesn't kick ass in his own right. Too bad he's basicallySRX fodder for the better half of the game. >_>

Comments:Well, Ryusei is almost exactly the same, although he has Combo Attack now.Nice list of relationships and will gains, although his defence is a littlelow, meaning he'll have to rely on the SRX's defence quite a bit whengainingwill. Natural skills are pretty good, especially with the inclusion of theawesome telekinesis skill, which is helps him survive early on in the game.Spirits are generally good, but Zeal is a little too expensive to be worthusing. Still, none of this really matters in the second half of the game,because then you'll be using him in the SRX, which has THREE pilots andawesomestats. ^_^

Spirits:Alert (10)Pray (15)Focus (15)Attune (30)Valor (40)Renew (60)


Comments:Decent ace bonus that adds SP (good for support pilots), good skills

(notablytelekinesis and Focus), EXCELLENT support spirits (Renew is very useful),but her will gains are horrid. Still, she's useful for what you need herfor, as she'll spend pretty much all of her appearances as a support pilotfor the SRX. However, during the few times you're forced to use her in theR-3, she's pretty average, and is more of a burden then anything else(although R-Formation is kind of nice).

Comments:She's an, uh more combat-worthy version of Aya, I suppose. Great naturalskills, balanced will gains, good relationships, a rather combat-basedspirit list (with a slot wasted by a very expensive attune) and the sameacebonus as Aya. Late game, she's probably the better choice over Villeta forthe R-Gun, although getting her enough will might become a problem as shegains about half the amount that Villeta does (unless you kill a lot ofstuffwith her).

9/37

Comments:Excellent spirits, suitable will gains, good natural skills and a nice listof relationships. However, the most notable thing about Irm is his BROKENace bonus, which lets him use Love for a measly 45 SP. Yes, seven spellsall at once for the same cost that Mai, Rio and Lat need to cast Valor.That's

simply insane, and it really puts Irm in the upper tier of the SR pilotlist.It's a shame the best you can really give him is the Grungust (which whilenice, isn't really top-tier in this game), or he would've been A+ for sure.

Comments:Ugh. I really, really hate Ring's will gains. Yes, I know they were thestandard will gains for the older SRTs, but the fact is, they SUCK in thisgame. Pretty much everything else is excellent (although she probablywon'tget enough will to use Sense on many stages), which makes the terrible willgains all the more disappointing. If you use her, I'd recommend eithergiving

her mech will boosting items (she doesn't have enough skill slots to allowfor a will boosting skill) or putting her in the Ash Saber (as the Sword


10/37

Breaker only needs 110 will) equipped with strong low/no-will weapons, likethe G-Impact Stake, Boosted Hammer, etc.

Comments:One of the four Aggressors, known for their ability to kick ass. Gilliamis probably the best pilot you'll get mid-game, with the only othercontendersbeing Lamia, Rai and Leona, although Gilliam has a slight advantage overthemdue to the fact that he gets SP Regen and two S rankings naturally.Anyway,great spirits, will gains, natural skills, etc. Only thing he really needsis a good mech or good weapons. I normally enjoy giving him the Ash Saber(it's a Shadow Mirror mech after all) equipped with the Graviton Launcherso the Sword Breakers don't run out of ammo really quickly. ^_^

Comments:Well, I might be slightly biased (Lamia is always my top ace after all),butLamia kicks some serious ass. Excellent will gain set and GREAT spirits(probably one of my favourite lists in the game). Her stats are prettymuchbalanced between range and melee, but her ace bonus leans towards her usingthe Angelg, although the Vysaga's brokenness might make up for it. Naturalskills follow the nature of the Angelg, which can take hits at lower willlevels and dodge hits at high levels. Lamia's only downside might be herstoryline influenced relationships, which are rather average/below average.Still, relationship bonuses are probably the least important thing to have,so it doesn't really matter. Use her, and user her well.

Comments:Well, Carla is certainly interesting. Weirdass will gain set,average/belowaverage ace bonus and relationship, average/above average natural skillsanda...unique spirit set. Lack of alert or guard hurts, so you'll have to useLove if you want to evade an attack, because Carla's evade stat isn'tgreat.She has freakishly high defence (sometimes even more then Tasuku o_o), sotry and stick her in a Super Robot or something with good armour that cantake advantage of her assail (Giganscudo Duro might work). I guess youcouldkeep her in the Land Grief, but it's rather underpowered by the end of thegame. Carla is probably the worst pilot you'll get late game, but like theother Alpha originals, she's still usable.

Comments:Basically think of her as Ratsel-lite, or a female version of Rai. Awesomelist of relationships, a superior version of Rai's ace bonus, excellentwillgains, fantastic natural skills and a more expensive version of Ratsel'sspirit list. Just like the rest of her family, she kicks ass, and she'seasilyone of the best RR pilots in the game. One of the best candidates for theHuckebein Gunner or the Ash Saber, although I prefer her in the formersinceit needs Telekinesis for its strongest move and others may need the AshSabermore.

Comments:Rather average RR pilot, although it's odd that his melee is now higherthenhis range o_o. Decent spirits (except for Mercy) and above average naturalskills. His will gains are pretty bad, and it's going to be hard to buildwill for him on stages with smaller amounts of enemies. On the other hand,he has a fairly interesting ace bonus, although the damage reduction mightnot be that useful considering his defence is quite poor. All in all, adecentpilot, although I think he's more useful as a sub-pilot for the HuckebeinGunner then as the main pilot of the Boxer.

Another good RR pilot. Excellent will gains and natural skills, aboveaverageace bonus and a spirit list that would probably work for both a RR and aSR.A worthy candidate for the Boxer (thanks to Drive and his good melee stat),but the Laz Angriff can also work for him if you upgrade it sufficiently.

comparatively. Her ace bonus really isn't very good, and her naturalskills

Comments:Good Super Robot pilot. Weird will gain set, interesting ace bonus (beinglucky is always good :p), good list of relationships and a decent spiritlist.He lacks Alert, but his freakishly high defence stat is enough to make upfor it, and against bosses, you could just use Love. His natural skillsarequite good, although he's not the only combat-worthy pilot to have Luckyanymore (say hello to Arado). He should be able to do fine in theGiganscudoDuro, but I prefer him in the Huckebein Mk. III Boxed. ^_^

Otherwise, he's pretty much as awesome as he always was, withnicenatural skills, a very ace bonus, great will gains and arguably the bestrelationship list in the game. Just make sure you take advantage of hisrelationships, because the DyGenGuard has rather inaccurate attacks, whichmeans you'll be missing a lot unless you do something. I'd suggest keepingRatsel next to him at all times, since you'll need the Ausenseiter to pullof Tatsumaki Zankantou anyway.

Comments:A useful support character, although her spirits are a bit expensive.Excellent natural skills, decent ace bonus (although how are you gettingherto be an ace in the first place), nice relationships...there's really notmuch to say. She's probably the best candidate for a pure repair/resupplyunit since she can actually dodge in the planes thanks to Foresight andFocus.>_>

Comments:The other support pilot, except with a focus on defence instead of dodging.REALLY cheap spirits (except for Strike, but who uses that with a supportpilot?), decent natural skills and an ace bonus that would've been nice ifhe could actually get it. >_> Just like the last game, he has a

incredibly

high defence stat, so if you're going to use him, you'd probably want togivehim a high movement unit with good armour (not sure if any of those existthough...). He's not as good as Radha as a support unit thanks to his lowdodge and defensive focus, but if you really had to use both of them (or ifyou like to keep your units close together), then by all means do.

Otherwise,he's a potentially good support character who really needs a mech to suithim.

Comments:Well, she's stuck commanding a battleship too, but she's much more usefulthen Tetsuya thanks to her more support-based sets. In fact, you couldprobably make into the Hiryu Custom into a nice little support unit bygivingit two boosters/mega boosters, repair and resupply, keeping it in themiddleof your units to support and give command bonuses.

Comments:I'd say OMGWTF sums him up pretty nicely. Elza-er, Ratsel is probably thebest among the Aggressors, and possibly even the best permanent pilot inthegame. Four AWESOME natural skills, a nice ace bonus, balanced will gains(works very well for the Auseinseiter, which has lots of HP), excellentrelationships and probably one of the best spirit sets in the game(partiallybecause it doesn't have that crappy no status effect spirit all the otherAggressors have... >_>). To top it all off, he gets access to one of thestrongest combination attacks in the game. Now if only he'd get rid ofthoselame goggles...

Comments:Ugh. Well, she's pretty much a support pilot who can also initiate RoyalHeart Breaker, but she shares Ring Mao's terrible will gains, which meansusing the Royal Heart Breaker quickly is going to be a pain in the assearlyon. Spirits are decent for a support pilot, but she lacks both top tiersupport spells, Enable and Renew. Her Ace Bonus is rather useless (notthatshe reaches ace status much of the time anyway). She's also the ONLY pilotto have a natural C rating. Natural skills aren't bad, and having Focusnaturally is always nice, though Foresight isn't going to be as useful asit could be considering how godly the Fairlions are at dodging. All inall,a disappointing pilot who tries to support and attack, but excels atneither.

Comments:GESPENSTO KIIIIICKU! Well, sadly, Kai will probably be the guy you'll havethe most trouble using early on, thanks to the lack of Super Robotish mechaaside from the Alteisen. He'll probably be stuck in an upgradedR-Blade/Gespenst Mk. II for the early stages, until you get the GrungustType-2, which is when he'll begin to really start kicking ass. Anyway,greatnatural skills, super robotish will gains and decent relationships and acebonuses. His spirit list is alright, but he kind of needs alert for bossfights. Kai's easily the weakest of the Aggressors, but he still kicks assin his own right.

Comments:

For those who haven't worked it out yet, Katina is meant to be a SuperRobotpilot. Super Robot ace bonus, SR will gains, SR-like spirits, etc.Notably,she has the cheapest Valor in the game (tied with Ouka, who is a one stageonly character), which is definitely a good thing. Katina's a fairly goodSuper Robot pilot, but there's definitely better choices out there, likeIrm,Tasuku, etc. If you use her, I'd recommend either the Giganscudo Duro, theGrungust Type-2 or the Gespenst Mk. II S.
