Iron Saga PvE Guide -Ren

PvE: Nothing so much to talk about this, because a lot of players tend to get easier and better for doing PvE. This
list here is just an opinion of making a solid PvE team. But anyway, here’s the PvE mechs & pilots that I used a lot:
most of the PvE mechs are F2P friendly due to how easy to get farm shards from map encounter, BM, Gacha
(depends on luck) and Development. Also, feel free to use my PvE list, if you feel like it. Also, when it comes to
story stages, it starts from easy, then medium, hard and very hard till the end. So, make sure you’ve prepared your
team for harder stages too. This list is for both F2P and P2P players! Most of the mech are retrofitted, that
doesn’t mean you’ve to retrofit it if you don’t have the material. Without retrofit still works well too!
