Category:SSS-class mecha

The SSS-class mecha are the most powerful mechs in Iron Saga, and they exhibit a wide range of quick/effective fighting styles and superpowers.

More often than not, they require four duplicates (colloquially called "dupes" by fellow Commanders) to fully max them out at 9-stars (when unlocking the 6th-9th stars/upgrades, this is also true of the SS-class mecha and S-class mecha), of which one would need to either pull a dupe from their respective banners (max rate for banner mechs is 1%) or alternatively collect 30 shards of said mech to obtain a single dupe. Shards can be placed all over the campaign maps, but some can only be attained by taking part in an campaign expedition or completing a Mercenary Task. Rarely, some may not need dupes to fully max out, and examples of such non-dupe-requiring mechs include Vassago, Vassago G, Vassago Suit, Mega Giant, etc. Some may need more than the typical 30 shards to unlock a dupe (and as a result may not require additional dupes), and such an example is Icey X, which requires 100 shards to unlock one dupe. Even rarer, the dupes of some mechs can only be unlocked by using a Solar Wing Medal, for which a prime example is Baal (it never had a single gacha banner, mercenary task, or any other known means of obtaining dupes, or even shards for that matter, since the game's introduction). Some SSS-class mechs cannot also be disassembled, and examples include Vassago and Vassago G.

The SSS-class mecha are also the most cost-expensive category of mech to upgrade, generally requiring exactly 51M Gold, 18.5K Primal Energy, and 6000 Superalloy (if the mech concerned doesn't require dupes to unlock).

The general consensus for most of the SSS-class mechs listed here in this category ("Kai's/Kai2's/Kai3's" of some mechs are also listed, but more information on them can be found on the category page for Kai/Kai2/Kai3 mechs) is that they become very effective at 7-stars, rarely 6-stars, and even more rarely 5-stars. A veteran or an experienced player of this game can advise you which order to upgrade from 6-stars to 9-stars, when consulted.
