Mecharashi Rainbow Chip Guide: How to Prepare Gold Chips

To prepare for the upcoming Rainbow Chip system in Mecharashi, stop spending surplus Gold Chips immediately and stockpile them in your storage. Gold Chips transition from being end-product enhancements to serving as essential raw fodder for dismantling and converting into Rainbow-tier upgrades.

How Gold Chips Power Rainbow-Tier Upgrades

The Rainbow Chip system introduces a higher tier of gear progression that requires existing Gold Chips as a core craft material. Instead of becoming obsolete, Gold Chips act as the primary currency for conversion:

• Conversion Fuel: Crafting and enhancing Rainbow Chips requires dismantling existing Gold Chips into building materials.
• Day-One Progression: Players who hoard Gold Chips bypass the material grind on update day, immediately converting stored reserves into endgame set bonuses and high-tier stat boosts.
• Shift in Purpose: Gold Chips shift from permanent pilot upgrades to raw resources meant for feeding high-tier progression.

Steps to Prepare Your Account Inventory

Efficient resource management ensures you do not waste materials on short-term upgrades while building a stockpile for the update.

1. Audit Main Loadouts: Confirm that your primary damage dealers and essential support units have stable, functional gear setups.
2. Freeze Secondary Upgrades: Stop spending Gold Chips on secondary or tertiary backup pilots. Leave non-essential units at their current power levels if your main team clears core daily content.
3. Stockpile Inflow: Continue completing daily and weekly activities that reward Chip drops, diverting all surplus income directly into storage.
4. Manage Storage Space: Monitor inventory limits to ensure bags do not cap out, keeping high-quality Gold Chips intact while holding surplus units for conversion.

Strategic Trade-Offs of Saving Materials

Aggressively saving Gold Chips creates a temporary progression plateau for your secondary roster. Halting investments in lower-tier pilots can make rotating game modes or secondary team challenges slightly more difficult in the short term.

However, spending Gold Chips for minor stat increments on secondary units wastes resources that are critical for Rainbow-tier crafting. The massive power spike offered by Rainbow Chips on your main endgame team far outweighs minor power gains on backup pilots. Hold your resources until the new tier unlocks to maximize long-term account strength.
