ACECRAFT is one of the most difficult and complex bullet hell games on mobile, and pilots are the main thing you'll be spending your currency on. The more and the better pilots you have, the more game content you'll be able to challenge successfully. To help you decide which pilots to get and use as you play, here is our ultimate ACECRAFT pilots tier list!
ACECRAFT Sky Hero Pilots Tier List
In the tier list above, we ranked all pilots in ACECRAFT based on their overall performance across all game modes and on how worth it is to invest in them. Some pilots are great against bosses, while others are necessary for certain game modes such as Elemental Trials. More details about each unit's ranking are in the section below.
S-Tier Pilots
| Pilot | Ranking Summary & Details |
|---|---|
| Tom | Epic [S]  Cyclone CrusherTom is the jack-of-all-trades and arguably the best pilot in ACECRAFT right now. He has insane single-target DPS as well as a bunch of AoE from his basic attacks, Stunt, and Passive. Also, his ultimate gives him Invincibility for a long while, making it the best clutch tool for really hard bosses. |
| Elsa | Epic [S]  Solaris SharpshotElsa is the ultimate boss killer in ACECRAFT. Her Ultimate gives her a massive DPS boost for a short while, allowing you to burst bosses in no time. Her Stunt and Passive boost her pink projectile absorption and give her a solid DPS boost and projectile penetration. |
| Jerry | Epic [S]  Sandstorm SharpshotJerry has very good DPS, Invincibility, and AoE on his Ultimate, and his Passive/Stunt allows him to spam his Ultimate. Plus, he gains a 2-shot basic attack right from the start. The only thing he has less than other meta pilots is single-target DPS, but he makes it up with his AoE. |
| Joey | Epic [S] Sandstorm Sharpshot Joey strikes a balance between single-target and AoE DPS, gaining Ultimate DMG as he procs his Passive/Stunt. Also, he has a 3-shot on his basic attacks from the start, making clearing mobs extremely easy. He's one of the most well-rounded pilots in ACECRAFT and is capable of carrying you through most game content. |
A-Tier Pilots
| Pilot | Ranking Summary & Details |
|---|---|
| Amelia | Excellent [A] Cyclone Crusher Amelia is the best A-rarity pilot in ACECRAFT, with extremely good single-target DPS, especially against stationary targets. Also, her laser Ultimate/Stunt deal instant damage, making them extremely easy to land. She is just really good, especially when you consider she is just an A-rarity pilot. |
| Scott | Excellent [A] Sandstorm Crusher Scott is the A-rarity pilot with the most AoE damage in his kit. Plus, all of that AoE makes it easy to position against bosses, as you can mostly focus on dodging, and all of his attacks will probably hit. The only issue is that his Stunt projectiles can miss, especially against high-speed enemies. |
| Charlie | Excellent [A]  Nimbus SharpshotCharlie is the only Nimbus element pilot, so you'll need him for Elemental Trials. Also, his Stunt and Ultimate deal decent AoE DMG, making it fairly easy to deal with mobs. However, his boss DPS isn't that amazing. |
B-Tier Pilots
| Pilot | Ranking Summary & Details |
|---|---|
| Ekko | Excellent [A] Solaris Sharpshot Ekko's Ultimate deals DMG to all enemies on the map while clearing all projectiles, and his Stunt transforms your shots into tracking flames. His abilities don't really provide much value, and compared to most other pilots, he is pretty mediocre. |
| Ryan | Excellent [A] Sandstorm Sharpshot Ryan has pretty solid boss DPS because of his single-target Stunt. However, his Ultimate is subpar both in terms of DMG and his mechanics, making Ryan an overall underwhelming pick compared to the meta A-rarity pilots. |
| Ironarm | Excellent [A] Cyclone Vanguard Ironarm's Ultimate grants him Invincibility, and he deals decent damage. However, his Stunt procs melee attacks, forcing you to go into enemies to DPS them. Also, his AoE basic attack just doesn't deal enough single-target DPS. He's just an overall bad pilot to use. |
