Dramatic Mid-air Rescue

空中の救出劇 (くうちゅうのきゅうしゅつげき Kūchū no kyūshutsu geki Eng: Dramatic Mid-air Rescue) is a 5☆ episode plate depicting Hikaru's dramatic mid-air rescue of Lynn Minmay in the midst of a Zentradi attack.

=Plate Info=

=Context= After some quick defensive maneuvers and distractions from Roy, Hikaru was able to quickly pick up Minmay and fly away from incoming Zentradi units. After realizing that he should've had her enter the cockpit from that start since it had 2 seats, the arm of the VF-1 holding Minmay gets blown off by a stray missile. The impact sends Minmay into the air and some quick thinking allows Hikaru to rescue her before the worst possible outcome could have occurred.

=Critique= A well-rounded 5☆ plate in terms of stats and a center skill that allows it to be a decent starting plate. However, it's Total Up values being weaker than other plates and Recovery active skill means that it won't last very long as a main center plate once players roll better ones. Luckily, this plate's high ranking Score Up skill allows it to still maintain a supporting role position in a players unit, where its high Support and Fold Wave stats can also make up non-Total stat deficiencies from other plates in the player's unit.
