Overview

Super Robot Wars DD (SRW DD, スパロボDD) is a free-to-play tactical RPG that throws pilots and mobile suits from dozens of anime franchises onto the same battlefield. Unlike most of the mainline console Super Robot Wars games, it has never been officially localized, even though several other entries in the series have. This page exists for the fans who already play it in Japanese and want a plain-English reference.

Pick a World

Your run starts inside one anime series' story ("World"), pulled from your reroll or starter unit. Gundam, Evangelion, Mazinger, and Macross are among the most common starting points.

Gacha for Parts, Not Units

The gacha doesn't hand you full units — it hands you unit parts that grant special attacks. Equip the right part on the right mobile suit to unlock its strongest move.

Chain Your Attacks

Attacking without pausing keeps a damage-boosting Chain alive across your whole team. Waiting, guarding, or getting evaded breaks it.

Is the service ending? The main story recently entered its announced "final chapter," which sparked service-end rumors in the community. As of the most recent update livestreams, there's been no official end-of-service announcement — the broadcasts have kept discussing content beyond the final chapter.

Reroll

Rerolling takes about 2 minutes — one of the fastest in the genre. The gacha drops unit parts, and what you're chasing is an SSR part carrying a strong special attack.

How to Reroll

  1. 1Clear the tutorial far enough to reach the gacha screen.
  2. 2Pull with whatever starting currency and tickets you're given.
  3. 3If you land an SSR special-attack part worth keeping, continue. If not, delete and reinstall.

What to Chase

SSRNightingale (MAP attack) SSRHi-ν Gundam (MAP attack)

Both hit an area rather than a single target and have high Speed, so their turn comes around often. An SSR part granting either move is considered the top reroll outcome.

Getting Started

The early game is short and linear — here's the order that gets you through it fastest.

  1. 1Reroll for an SSR special-attack part (see above).
  2. 2Pick your starting World based on the series you want to lead with, or whichever matches your reroll part.
  3. 3Push through the story — it hands you new units as you go, and two guaranteed-SSR gacha tickets early on.
  4. 4Spend Lapis and strengthening material on your best special-attack unit first rather than spreading it thin.
  5. 5Clear every mission you can while it's still winnable — rewards and materials scale with progress.
Tip: the gacha grants parts, not finished units. A unit is only as good as the part equipped to it, so prioritize getting your best part onto your best chassis before spreading resources around.
Building a team: Speed decides turn order, so a common approach is building around whichever special-attack part you actually own rather than chasing a specific "best" unit — a fast MAP-attack unit in hand beats a stronger one you don't have.
Strengthening priority: reinforce SSR parts first, and hold on to promotion materials until you've settled on your core team instead of spending them on units you might replace later.

Chain System

Attacking on consecutive turns without breaking the sequence builds a Chain, which boosts your team's damage. Waiting, guarding, or having an attack evaded resets it to zero. These are the documented reference points from the community wiki — the exact curve between them isn't officially published, so treat it as a guide rather than an exact formula.

Chain CountDamage Bonus
1+5%
50+50%
100+100%
Keep it alive: act every turn, avoid guarding or waiting, and route your strongest attackers through the enemies least likely to evade — a broken Chain costs more than a single bad hit.
