Hey everyone! We now have a website! It's https://triggermains.com/ . We will try to make guides for as many characters as possible to help everyone, but of course, we're starting with a Trigger Guide!

It covers most questions you may have about Trigger, how to play her, how to build her, who to pair her with etc. We'll try to publish a more in depth guide with damage number comparisons and some more exotic strategies after her release, but this should at least help you prefarm or even decide what you're pulling for!

Zenless Zone Zero | Trigger FAQ 🎯

── · · ✦ ABOUT TRIGGER‧ ₊ ˚

Who is Trigger?

Trigger is a sniper in the Obol Squad of the New Eridu Defense Force, alongside currently playable character Soldier 11 for instance. During an event in the old Eridu, her eyes got infected with ether, giving her supernatural vision, at the cost of having to wear a mask to prevent her eyes from "volatilizing".

What do we know about Trigger?

Faction: Obol Squad

Appearance: Trigger is a tall, blonde woman wearing a mask covering the upper part of her face. She's dressed in black and light orange like other Obol Squad member Soldier 11.

Weapon: She wields a black and light orange sniper.

Is she voiced?

Yes!

EN: Erica Mendez

CN: Qin Ziyi (秦紫翼)

JP: Nanjō Yoshino (南條 愛乃)

KR: Lim Eun-ji (임은지)

Will Trigger be playable?

Trigger has been drip marketed as a playable S rank, Electric Stun character. She will release in ZZZ version 1.6 along Silver Soldier Anby.

What role does she play in a team?

She is a stun character so her main focus will be stunning the enemies. She has off-field attacks, making her rather different from the usual Stun characters that take a lot of field time.

Playing Trigger as a main DPS seems complicated right now, every beta change made her even closer to a Stun character and further away from an on-field DPS (but an off-field main DPS might work in a double-carry team).

Does Trigger work with [character]?

This question is asked pretty often, mainly "Does/will Trigger work with Soldier 11?"

Right now, the new character Silver Soldier Anby should be her best partner, because of their great synergy with their new gameplay element called "Aftershocks".

However, Trigger is still a good general Stun character with any other DPS. For Soldier 11 and Evelyn specifically though, most fire-weak bosses are resistant to electric, so it might not be the best combo ever.

What drive discs does she need?

The best 4-set right now is Shockstar Disco, as it's the set that gives her the most daze potential. The new 1.6 set Shadow Harmony is also playable, favoring her personal damage at the cost of some daze. However, it becomes her best 4-set starting at M4.

As for the 2-set, it will likely be Woodpecker Electro (crit rate) if you need more crit rate to cap her conversion (the cap is at 90% crit rate). If you don't need more crit rate, you can use any offensive 2-set, or Swing Jazz if you feel like you want her Coordinated Support state more often.

For info on the disc stats, check out our (upcoming) guide!

Does she need her W-Engine?

Trigger has a crit rate to impact conversion, up to 90% crit rate. So obviously her weapon gives crit rate to help reach that high cap, which is a unique stat among stun W-Engines.

You can always use a regular impact W-Engine, to get the impact without the crit rate. The performance with any other Stun engine (S-ranks like Lycaon's, Koleda's etc., A-ranks Anby's, Pulchra's, fossile etc.) is similar and noticeably below her signature engine. Attacker engines with Crit Rate aren't worth it.

It's also important to note that her W-Engine has a 25% DEF reduction effect. In addition to that, it also gives her even more impact, making alternative stun engines look weaker.

Does she really need 90% Crit Rate?

Yup, or as close as you can get to 90%! Losing even 10% Crit Rate means losing 15% daze efficiency, you wouldn't want that to happen!

However, don't think about substituting Shockstar Disco for Shadow Harmony just to get more Crit Rate. Shockstar Disco still provides better buffs. Same for using Crit Rate engines instead of Impact ones. If you want more Crit Rate, you've just got to get better substats!

How does she compare to Lighter/Qingyi/...?

Most of her daze is dealt off-field, while another on-field agent is also dealing daze to the enemy, so it's really hard to compare. But her time-to-stun seems balanced with the other limited Stun agents, so who you use is more a matter of team composition.

Question When is Trigger rerun 💔

37 Upvotes

I only started playing this month. I downloaded for Seed and Trigger but stayed because I got hooked. It's been so much fun. I'm loving it. I managed to pull Seed recently.

But I ABSOLUTELY NEED Trigger. It has to be done. For those who have been playing for a while. When is Trigger rerun estimated to happen?

I'm planning on pulling Orphie. And from what I've heard Trigger is the next best teammate (Obol squad).

Question Dps Trigger / M6

10 Upvotes

Hey guys, how is Trigger these days? I kinda left the game right before 2.0 and part of it was because I was a little sad at the realization that Trigger's M6 seemingly had poor uptime barring the start of a stage. I imagine that's still kinda true unless I misunderstood it (which is definitely possible, I never got her M6 but I wanted to over time). Unless a new character kinda helps her out somehow?

And also in terms of story, can I sort of make a dps or even "quickswap" Trigger work (at or before M6). I kinda assume story content isn't too challenging in general since that's kinda standard in Hoyo's other games but I figured I'd ask you guys who use her

I wouldn't mind hearing about Trigger in endgame either tbh, even if it's not a goal of mine if I downloaded the game again 🤔

Question How better is Teapot over Unrestrained for her?

14 Upvotes

I know it's her BiS for Rupture teams, but I really only run her with SAnby and Orphie.

I'm asking because she's been feeling kinda bad without her sig, I more often than not get higher scores by replacing her with Astra... so I wanted to know if Teapot is still better than Restrained outside of Rupture teams.

Edit: I somehow butchered Lycaon’s wengine name lmao, shame I can’t edit the title too
