Hiro practiced the hardest objectively. He's the only one who was consistently putting in effort from the very start. Goro is the fastest decision maker and that keeps the squad safe. He also puts himself and Ichigo on the frontlines to have the most information. Zorome's fucked up and has had to be saved like a million times, but he's actually been damaging the enemy. Futoshi has never really been in danger, but he hasn't done much damage either. We didn't see Genista do shit till ep 11 and that's because Mitsuru wasn't the pilot. He's been saved more in battle then the overly aggressive Zorome.
02 can pilot on her own and when she does she's still a beast. She has the most experience as a pilot. Ichigo is the leader for a reason. Even when shit goes down she can focus on what needs to be done. Miku is emotionally weak. One sight of the previous team and she went down. If piloting a Franxx requires emotional strength she needs a lot more work. Kokoro is meh. She hasn't really been challenged. Ikuno has issues being a Pistil even when her life is in danger. Inside that tough exterior she's frail as all hell.
Hiro > Goro > Mitsuru>Zorome > Futoshi Mitsuru surged towards the end of 11.

You know they have code numbers that indicate their skill as a pilot, right?

>SAVE MEEE HIRO-SAMAAAA

Wouldn't that mean Zorome's the worst? I can't believe Zorome being worse than Mitsuru.
Why is Mitsuru so high? Are we watching the same show. If he's not last or second to last you're a clown.

Hiro > Goro > Futoshi The first three should be clear after this episode. Mitsuru and Zorome are kind of a push right now.
Elijah Hughes
Zorome has still done objectively more damage to Klax than Futoshi.
Zorome does need to get saved a lot but, Futoshi hasn't been an actuall asset till now.
Logan Scott
That's also because he's more aggressive and reckless. He's also made far more mistakes than Futoshi. Futoshi seems much more competent. I'm pretty sure they're meant to go by numbers with the exception of Mitsuru, who was apparently so shit he had to dope up just to be useful.
Interesting note, Kokoro is the lowest ranked code among the females. She was likely holding Futoshi back.
