Description
Pilots are the primary avatars in AirMech. Most pilots, except the Ultimate and Promotional Pilots, can be bought with Kudos. Each Pilot provides specific bonuses to in-game stats and out-of-game stats. Each pilot also has its own negative statistics to balance their advantages out.
Pilots are associated with different play styles; some pilots, such as Gabe, are highly aggressive and focus on damage and airspeed; other pilots, like Mako, have strong defensive statistics; other pilots, like Annarchy and Erik, provide utility.
Regular Pilots
As players complete match-made gamesin co-op, more regular pilots will be available to unlock from their Pilot Quests. These pilots are:
There are other regular pilots that cannot be unlocked by quest. These are:
Ultimate Pilots
Ultimate Pilots are always available via Shop, albeit for Diamonds rather than Kudos like regular pilots. Ultimate Pilots can not be used in matchmaking PvP or Custom games that have ultimates disabled. They may be used in Solo, Coop, PvE and any Custom matches that allow it. Games that allow Ultimates are indicated by a flashing circled "U" at the top.
Any attempt to use Ultimates (including units) where not allowed will cause the Ultimates to temporarily revert to regular variants, because Ultimate Pilots provide very high stat bonuses to all aspects of in-game and off-game play.
The following is a list of ultimate pilots in the game:
