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 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.
