Super Robot Taisen R (Japan)

If you’re new to Super Robot Taisen R or looking to beat its challenging late-game boss battles, follow these key tips to build a powerful roster and unlock all hidden content. First, when selecting your starting protagonist, avoid spreading resources thin early on: if you prefer aggressive, close-range gameplay, pick Axel’s Ashleon, which has high mobility and strong base attack, while Lamia’s Angelg is better for players who want long-range support and balanced stats. Unlike many modern RPGs, you should never evenly distribute your funds and pilot PP points across your entire roster. Instead, focus all your early upgrades on 3 to 4 core mainstays like the RX-78-2 Gundam, Mazinger Z, and Evangelion Unit-01, as these units will carry you through 80% of your campaign. PP points should prioritize Accuracy and Evasion first, as enemy units in later missions gain huge evasion bonuses that will leave you missing constantly if your pilots lack accuracy. Next, always plan your branch route choices based on hidden content: if you want to unlock the powerful Zeta Gundam early, take the space route after mission 8, while the Earth route will get you access to upgraded Getter Robo parts and unique Evangelion side content. Save combination attacks exclusively for boss battles, as they deal massive damage but consume a huge portion of your unit’s energy that you’ll need for regular fights against minor enemies. Finally, remember that most hidden mecha and secret items require you to defeat a specific boss with a specific character on a specific route, so keep a note of dialogue triggers to unlock rare content that makes repeat playthroughs worth it. For second playthroughs, you can carry over most of your upgrades, so focus on collecting PP points in your first run to make your second run even smoother.
