Assessment
Mechanic is the most versatile pre-HL class in the game, emulating the flexibility of Row IV classes by allowing players to choose multiple effects via Companion Mods. Mods can also provide rare or unique utilities, giving Mechanic potential advantage against particular enemies.
This class is a highly recommended priority due to Energy Maneuver, if nothing else. This converts all your

into Charge Bar +Instantly boosts Charge Bar by
for all allies. This is generally a full charge and can have its value raised further by using it on the following turn after consuming Strike Time and/or after spending 4★ Bonito's full charge. Unlike Strike Time, this can be used in any battle so it remains useful in fights where Strike Time doesn't have effect.
That and other notable chips are listed below with suggested uses, but do note that some require significant materials to unlock.
Mastering this class also rewards you with DMG Cap +1%, which has varying value depending on the damage you can deal.

× 10%) for all allies. This is, unlike Strike Time, available in any fight. It can also be used after consuming Strike Time's full charge bars. If 2 turns of Full Burst aren't enough, you can use 4★Bonito in some situations for a third Full Burst!
Bomb Maneuver deals all-foe Plain damage with a multiplier much higher than farmable weapon sources Sword Master has. This is especially useful for sliming and Arcarum. It can also be useful to quickly clear Hard Raids alongside other Plain damage sources.
Eco Chips and
Tank Chips can be used alongside high-cost AI Mods to mitigate their upkeep. Equipping multiple Tank Chips can also help with
Energy Maneuver if you are using characters with 200% Charge Bar size.
Defense Chips give a total of 10% defense together. Since Mechanic by itself has +10% defense when mastered, this adds up to +20% before other classes' bonuses, EMP nodes or items such as Rose Crystal Weapons.
- Power Frame:
Power Chips give a total 20% skill damage together. Mechanic's companion base attacks and maneuvers all operate as a skill, taking advantage of it. A particularly powerful combination is
Power Unit: Tri Attack, 2
Power Chips and 2 (optional)
Attack Chips. These result into 3 x [(50% + PassiveSkillDMGUp + PowerChips) x (EstimatedDamage x AttackChips)]. For example, a 100k attack by the MC (with expected +23% Skill Damage Up from all class mastery bonuses) results in the companion following up with 3 93k attacks. Essentially a free triple attack every turn.
- Support Frame:
Support Unit: Clear clears one debuff at the end of every turn. It excels against enemies which cast frequent debuffs. It can also clear self-inflicted debuffs and debuffs that bypass

Notable Main Weapons
The Mechanic is compatible with any gun and does not come with a Class Champion weapon, so it is up to you to pick which gun suits your needs best. Players are advised to pick a gun that deals with an area their golem does not cover with its setup.
