About SUPER ROBOT WARS Y
Super Robot Wars Y is a grid‑based tactical combat RPG that gathers mecha and pilots from many anime series. Players move units on a square grid, issue commands each turn, and aim to defeat enemy forces.
After each mission you receive credits and resources that can be spent to upgrade mecha performance and train pilots. The new Assist Link system adds sidekick characters to missions, letting them enhance abilities and provide extra effects.
01 / THE GUIDE
Grid‑Based Tactical Combat
Battles take place on a square grid where each unit occupies one space and may move or act once per turn. Position determines line‑of‑sight, range, and exposure to enemy attacks.
Units come from the listed anime franchises and each has its own movement range and attack patterns. Knowing these differences helps you build formations that counter varied enemy layouts.
- Place durable units in front to shield weaker allies.
- Use high‑mobility units to flank and disrupt enemy lines.

Assist Link System
Assist Link introduces sidekick characters that can appear alongside your main roster during missions. Their presence adds extra abilities and effects that modify combat outcomes.
Sidekicks are drawn from the same anime series as the main units, allowing fans to see supporting characters take active roles on the battlefield.
- Choose sidekicks whose abilities complement your unit’s strengths.
- Swap sidekicks between missions to explore different synergies.
