Gameplay[]
Trafalgar appears late in the mission Eliminate Infiltrators as a Raven employed by Kisaragi to assist with the enemy threat. He later acts as a possible consort during the mission, Protect Crest Convoy.
In-Game Information[]
He joined the Arena with a single purpose, locate the Raven who betrayed him and mete out his own brand of justice. The plan was set in motion shortly after learning his quarry retreated to the sanctuary of the Arena, complete with a new identity.
Strategy[]
Trafalgar may pose a slight challenge to newer players as he has decent damage output. Although his weapons are primarily spread-shot weapons, Trafalgar is competent enough to know when and where to use them. Especially the shotgun + spread howitzer combo will spell trouble to more fragile ACs. Still, due to his loadout he finds himself hardpressed when fighting at long range. Engaging from a distance is advised as it will diminish the accuracy of his weapons at range. Mobility-wise, Trafalgar has decent mobility despite being a heavy AC, so don't attack blindly. Heavier and harder-hitting weapons are recommended to use on him, but D. Trigger does have surprisingly low AP for a heavy bipedal. Combined with the fact that its ammo reserves are not too large makes it ill-suited to prolonged confrontation. And once again, Trafalgar is not mindful enough to utilize his Exceed Orbit at all. Kiting with a mobile-oriented AC will easily outlast Trafalgar.
In the mission, Trafalgar shows up in the final room of the parking garage with Fluke and Glide Cobra MTs as a consort. Though there's nothing much to speak about him, he can prove helpful in clearing out the room of the cloaked Fluke MTs (though it's also possible for him to destroy the light controls in the process).
