Super Robot Wars Appearances

Macross 7 is unique for bringing true supportive units into Super Robot Wars. These units cannot deal damage unless there are special circumstances, but their "attacks" or songs are used to give allies and surrounding units special benefits that can last for a good duration of battle. While there are also standard Macross Valkyrie fighter units, players should not underestimate the utility of support units. In the case where bullets, beams, and swords have little effect on the enemy, the power of music will prevail and the units of Macross 7 will shine brighter than the limelight.
