=Plate Info=

=Context= The scene from this episode plate takes place in the second episode of Macross Delta. While Freyja is undergoing her final audition, Hayate is on the deck of the Macross Elysion with Messer and Arad. Arad, who noticed Hayate's potential as a pilot, convinces him to keep a stable job and lifestyle by experiencing the unstable winds as a pilot. Hayate, yearning to fly, takes a hop off the deck at the same time a strong current blows in and entrusts his life to the wind, resulting with the wind pushing him back on top of the deck.

=Critique= One of the weakest 5☆ plate in the game in terms of Total stats, but this plate also has a Soul based stat distribution along with a center skill that benefits Soul teams. Everyone is guaranteed to obtain this plate for starting the game. Because the plate is available to all players for free, it does not have the greatest stats compared to plates drawn from the Deculgacha, but it is still a solid plate with clear purposes and uses as a starter plate or a piece for a Soul team. This plate will provide plenty of stats for starting players, but at some point, players will have to put this plate aside for stronger ones.
