Mecha BREAK Tricera Guide: How to Play
Image Credit: Amazing Seasun Games, Mecha BREAK
Tricera is one of the toughest mechs in Mecha BREAK, built to absorb massive amounts of damage while dishing out sustained fire with its dual Gatling guns. As an Ultra-Heavy Defender, Tricera’s role is to anchor the battlefield, protect teammates, and force enemies to waste their resources trying to take it down.
However, just because Tricera is tanky doesn’t mean you can play carelessly. Snipers, high-burst attackers, and coordinated enemy teams can still melt through your armor if you’re not careful. This guide will break down Tricera’s weapons, abilities, playstyle, and best strategies to help you dominate as the team’s unbreakable wall.
Tricera Playstyle – The Walking Fortress
Tricera excels in frontline combat, holding objectives and soaking up enemy fire. However, it is not an aggressive duelist—you need to position yourself properly to get the most out of your defenses.
Your goal is to absorb damage for your team while keeping enemies suppressed.
Avoid getting isolated. Even with high durability, Tricera will go down fast if multiple enemies focus fire on you without support.
Watch out for snipers. Long-range mechs like Narukami or Aquila can burn you down from a distance, so always be aware of positioning.
Pair with a support mech like Pinaka for extra healing, which turns you into an unstoppable force.

This is Tricera’s main support ability, making it a great pick for team-oriented players. Use it whenever teammates are under fire to keep them in the fight.

How to Play Tricera Well
1. Control the Battlefield
Your high durability and suppression fire allow you to dictate engagements. Position yourself on objectives, near chokepoints, or in areas where you can block enemy advances.
Use Fortress Mode to absorb damage when enemies try to push an objective.
Fire your Gatling Guns constantly to keep enemies from moving freely.
Drop Repair Drones when teammates are nearby to extend fights in your favor.
2. Watch Out for Weaknesses
Even though Tricera is incredibly tanky, it has key weaknesses:
Snipers like Narukami and Aquila can melt you from a distance. Stay behind cover when necessary.
Coordinated attacks can take you down fast. If multiple enemies focus fire on you, disengage or call for help.
You are slow. Mechs with high mobility, like Panther or Falcon, can outmaneuver you and avoid your damage.
3. Be Smart with Fortress Mode
Fortress Mode makes you invulnerable for a short time, but it locks you in place. Use it:
When holding an objective to block incoming fire.
If enemies are using missile-based attacks (Fortress Mode will intercept them).
To bait melee attackers—activating it counters their attacks and staggers them.
4. Pair with the Right Teammates
Tricera works best when playing with mechs that complement its defensive playstyle.
Best teammates:
Pinaka – Provides additional healing, making Tricera nearly unkillable.
Luminae – Buffs and heals teammates, allowing Tricera to hold objectives even longer.
Stego – Another high-durability mech that can push alongside Tricera in drawn-out fights.
Advanced Tricera Tips
Manually reload your Gatling Guns when safe. Running out of ammo in a fight leaves you helpless.
Use Howitzer to force snipers out of position. It staggers them, making them easy targets.
Deploy Repair Drones in the middle of fights. They heal both you and nearby teammates.
Be aggressive, but not reckless. You can take a lot of damage, but you are not invincible.
Use Fortress Mode at the right time. If you activate it too early, enemies will just wait until your shield is down before attacking.
Final Notes
Tricera is one of the most durable mechs in Mecha BREAK, built to control fights, absorb damage, and keep teammates alive.
Anchor fights by holding objectives and absorbing damage.
Use Fortress Mode strategically—it’s powerful but locks you in place.
Watch out for snipers and coordinated enemy attacks.
Pair with support mechs like Pinaka for maximum survivability.
If played correctly, Tricera becomes an unbreakable fortress, allowing your team to dominate engagements and control the battlefield.
