Triturate is a Raven working for Alliance and serves as second in command to the Alliance Tactical Unit.
Information[]
Not a particularly skilled pilot, his unwavering loyalty to Evangel is probably the reason for his rank in the Alliance Tactical Unit . When Evangel switches sides, Triturate is the only Raven to join him. He is encountered in the mission "Destroy AC Vigilance ". And he is usually killed in most endings, regardless of whether the player chooses to kill him or not.
AC Vigilance/Balius Xanthus[]
Last Raven AC description: Quad-leg AC model equipped with laser weapon arms. The units overall combat performance rates as average, but its weapon arms do pose a real threat.
In Armored Core: Nexus, Triturate's AC is a quad-leg AC equipped with back booster extensions, a pulse cannon, a radar and laser cannon weapon arms. In Last Raven, Triturate's AC retains a similar frame with the same weapon arms and back radar, albeit with a different core, back weapon and extensions; it features the JIREN energy refill extensions and a lineargun instead of a pulse cannon.
Strategy[]
Triturate's main threat lies in his laser cannon arms. If you're able to avoid those, he will become an easy foe. Overall, Triturate's piloting abilities are average at best, and he can also be overheated with sustained gunfire. Once he's out of energy, he will grounded and forced to rely on his lineargun, which is easier to contend with than his weapon arms.
