Introduction
Mine Battle is key to help you level up faster in the game. It is also a good source of additional Silver, Gold, and Vit. In this complete guide, we will go through some valid and useful strategies to help you attack and defend your SD Gundam Mine nodes. Following all the tips mentioned here will help you get more rewards and have better chances of defending your mines.
The first section will go over the basic of Mines and how they are divided and lay out the differences between the mines.
Please note that some of the information included here are not complete yet.
Mine Battle Basic Information
Mines are divided into C, B, A, S, and SS Ranked Mines. To take over the mines, you will need to setup the correct Gundam mobile suit rank units to control the correct mines. You can hover the mines to see their basic rewards information, and whether or not they are controlled by which Corps members. The mine units cannot used by Gundam pilots with ranks higher than the mine.
You typically should not attack mines controlled by your same Corp as controlling mines make your corp stronger.
Different Types of Mines
C mines require C ranked mobile suits with C ranked pilots.
C mine has a total of 16 nodes with 4 high output and 12 low output mines.
C mine control lasts 8 hours.
B mines require B ranked mobile suits with B or under ranked pilots.
B mine has a total of 16 nodes with 4 high output and 12 low output mines.
B mine control lasts 8 hours.
A mines require A ranked mobile suits with A or under ranked pilots.
A mine has a total of 9 nodes with 1 high output and 8 low output mines.
A mine control lasts 8 hours.
S mines require S ranked mobile suits with S or under ranked pilots.
S mine has a total of 3 nodes with 1 high output and 2 low output mines.
S mine control lasts 12 hours.
SS mines require SS ranked mobile suits with SS or under ranked pilots.
SS mine has a single high output mine.
SS mine control lasts 12 hours.
Controlling the mines over time gives you various resources including Silver, Wisdom, Vitality Points, and Gold (High output Mines). If you are in a Corp, you will also gain Corps Asset, Feat and Contributions. The amount of silver that you earn through holding mine battle nodes is usually dependent on your character level, ie the higher level you are, the more silver that you will earn.
Mine Battle Level Tiers
The tiers are divided into 6 different group tiers that are 20 levels apart.
Group 1: Level 21-40
Group 2: Level 41-60
Group 3: Level 61-80
Group 4: Level 81-100
Group 5: Level 101-120
In general higher level mines generate more resources, but have stronger initial NPC defenses.
Successfully taking over any mines automatically gives you the following rewards: 100 EXP, 1000 Silver, and 10 Honor.
Failing to take over any mine gives you the following rewards: 50 EXP, 500 Silver, and 5 Honor.
Mine Battle Rewards
You can earn different types of rewards based on the mines that you take over. Although the rewards are given to you based on the time of occupation, they are rounded down by the hour. This means that if you are missing timers less than 1 hour, you should almost always wait for the entire occupation period to complete, so that you can gain 100% of the vit and gold rewards.
Group 21-40
C, B, and A Mine:
High output: 2880 Wisdom, 24 Vit, 12 Gold, 48 Corp Asset
Low output: 1440 Wisdom, 24 Vit, 0 Gold, 48 Corp Asset
S Mine:
High output: 6480 Wisdom, 72 Vit, 36 Gold, 144 Corp Asset
Low output: 3240 Wisdom, 36 Vit, 0 Gold, 72 Corp Asset
Group 41-60
C, B, and A Mine:
High output: 5760 Wisdom, 24 Vit, 12 Gold, 48 Corp Asset
Low output: 2880 Wisdom, 24 Vit, 0 Gold, 48 Corp Asset
S Mine:
High output: 12960 Wisdom, 72 Vit, 36 Gold, 144 Corp Asset
Low output: 6480 Wisdom, 36 Vit, 18 Gold, 72 Corp Asset
Mine NPC Defense
In this section we will note the different initial NPC Mine defenses. You typically need much stronger Gundam units to take over the mines. However, you should always try when you first advance into a new level tier to see if you can control higher level mines.
Please note that our recommendations are extremely rough estimates since there are multiple ways to boost the power of your teams.
Group 1: Level 21-40
C Mine: 3 Level 10 C Gundams
B Mine: 3 Level 10 B Gundams
A Mine: 3 Level 10 A Gundams
S Mine: 3 Level 20 S Gundams – Require Single Level 35+ or Two Level 30+.
SS Mine: ??
Group 2: Level 41-60
C Mine:
B Mine:
A Mine:
S Mine: 3 Level 30 S Gundams – Require Single Level 50+
SS Mine: ?
Group 3: Level 61-80
Group 4: Level 81-100
Group 4: Level 101-120

Mine Battle Strategy
In this section, we will go over all the strategies, tactics, and methods for you to improve your mine battle efficiency. By following all of the SD Gundam mine battle tips outlined in this strategy guide, you will have much better odds at defeating your enemies while holding your defenses.
Our mine battle strategy includes the following:
Mine Level Tier Rush
Mine Level Tier Cap
Mine Battle Power Inspire
Plugin Rotation Strategy
Gundam Inherit Technique
Improve Mine Squads via Corps Lab Upgrade
Main Team Rotation
Mine Level Tier Rush
This tactic works great during the beginning of the server. Your goal is to rush level your character so that you are ahead of the pack. This way you can get into higher tier mines where less players are competing for.
This mine battle tactic works great for heavy and light VIP spenders, but not recommended for free players.
For example, if you can reach level 41-60 tiers before the rest of the server does, you will have all the high output mines at practically no competition. This means that you can take over those nodes with far less upgraded mine squads. You lose this advantage as the majority of the server moves into your tier, so your goal is to continuously level fast in SD Gundam to be ahead of the pack.
However, one thing to look out for is to upgrade all of your mining teams. You do not want to level too much that you fail to take over the NPC defenses at higher level mines.
Mine Level Tier Cap
Opposite compared to the level rush strategy, this strategy asks you to “lag” behind the cap and specialize in your tier. You basically cap your character leveling and hold on to the mines of your tier indefinitely. Obtain all the free gold generated through high output mines, then move forward to the next tier when the top players move past you.
For example, you can cap your level at 40 while the majority of the players are in level 41-60 tier. Your goal is to take over and control all the high output mines. You can stay in this tier for about 1 month or so, until the majority of the VIP and stronger players move into 61-80 tier. This is when you break into the next tier to hold on to level 41 tiers.
This tactic works great for Free players and low spending player at the expense of much slower game progression, however you can earn decent deal of Gold over the long term and stress less about gold mine competition.
If you cap your level, you can have much “relatively” stronger Gundam squads to hold onto high output mines, if you have done training all the time.
Mine Battle Power Inspire
You can boost the power of your Mine battle squads through inspire. Depending on the group tier of your level, different level requires different amount of Wisdom. However, it costs 10 Gold to do an inspire.
Higher level of mine inspire will have higher chance of failure. In general, it will costs roughly 15~20 times the Wisdom cost to cap your mine inspire. For example, it can cost up to 480*20 = 9600 wisdom to cap the mine inspire.
The mine inspire is capped at 50% for up to 8 hours (480 minutes). The inspire effect boost the attack and defense of all of your mining squads.
Level 21-40: 480 Wisdom per attempt
Level 41-60: 720 Wisdom per attempt
Level 61-80: ?
Level 81-100: ?
Level 101-120: ?
Inspire Tactic
In general, if you are only targetting low output mines, you do not need to inspire your squads at all. Mine inspire for low output is a waste of your precious Wisdom points.
However, as you compete for the high output mines in all the unit tiers, it is generally recommended that you get maximum inspire possible. This is true especially when you start competing for the S ranked mine battles.
If your units are still too weak to take over mines even with inspire, you should not waste your Wisdom points to take over low output mines but rather try to improve your units further. Your goal is to take over and hold onto the high output mines after mine inspire.
Inspire Timing
The timing of mine inspiration is important too. You want to tackle the mines as soon as you finish inspire, and leave your units for the full 8 hours. This is because that you do not want to lose your defenses simply because your timer runs out.
Plugin Rotation Strategy
Plug-in rotation involves rotating your strongest Gundam plugins among your mine squads so that you can take over mines that you usually cannot. While this strategy is great, they are not so good at actually defending for the mines, since only your strongest squad can hold onto the plugins at any given point in time.
This tactic is decent to be executed during mid day where players have already used a couple of their mine attack attempts. Since players usually do not attack the mines that have just lost since they know that they cannot beat it (that’s why they lost the node). This tactic is bad around server resets because you can lose the mines quite fast.
However, this tactic is great at destroying other player’s mine resources when you cannot defend the mines properly.
Gundam Inherit Technique
The inherit technique can quickly boost the power of your mine squad at the expense of higher units.
What you do is that during mid game, when you have already started using A or higher units for your main team. You are most likely to concentrate your gundam training efforts on your main team. However, you can inherit the reinforcements of your main team onto your mining team.
During this time you can consider to spend some gold and transfer those reinforcements to boost the power of your lowered ranked mining teams.
Improve Mine Squads via Corps Lab Upgrade
You could improve the battle power of each of your mining crew from Corps Lab. However, you generally want to spend your feats on upgrading your main team first, especially if you are having trouble to beat the instances. But at mid game and end game levels where mine competitions are fierce, your best bet is to upgrade the mines that you want to specialize in to have better odds at occupying the mines.
Main Team Rotation
You can switch your Main team formation into your mining team squads when you have used up your Vit. The only downfall is that you can quickly lose your Arena ranking.
