The following is a list of affinities and their effects that can be found in BTA. Pilot affinities only come into play when a pilot has been in the same 'mech for 15 battles. Most of them mimic one of the [Mech Quirks|quirks]] which 'mechs come with. Unlike quirks, which we can think of as innate, affinities can be seen as the realised potential of a ride. As such, the time needed to get these affinities (aka the courtship period) is also a factor as to whether the affinities are good.
They are also dependent on the baseline capabilities of the 'mechs; some affinities significantly change the effectiveness of certain 'mechs, while others do very little and can even be a chore to get, as the mechs themselves are pretty bad. They have the ability to save a 'mech from being total rubbish, to complement their strengths, or to make them golden.
