Trigger Overview

Trigger is a limited S-Rank Electric Stun Agent in Zenless Zone Zero, debuting in the Version 1.6 banner "Out of Sight". She’s a powerhouse off-field Stunner, capable of inflicting massive Daze through her Aftershock attacks, triggered by on-field allies after her Ultimate or EX Special.

Trigger Skill Priorities

Trigger’s role revolves around amplifying team damage and delivering off-field Stun, so prioritizing her skills is key to unlocking her full potential.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Core Skill: Upgrade this first. It boosts the Stun Vulnerability multiplier she applies to enemies, directly increasing team-wide damage and Daze output.
• Basic Attack: Next in line, as her Aftershock attacks (Harmonizing Shot) rely on Basic Attack chains to stack [Purge] in Sniper Stance, fueling her off-field damage.
• Ultimate & Special: These come third, enabling her to enter Coordinated Support without consuming [Purge], triggering powerful Aftershocks.
• Dodge & Assist: Upgrade last, as they’re situational and less critical to her core role.

In combat, hold her Basic Attack to enter Sniper Stance, stack [Purge] with continuous shots, then release for a final blow.

Switch to a teammate to trigger her Aftershocks, or use her Ultimate/EX Special for instant Coordinated Support.

Priority Order: Core Skill, Basic Attack > Ultimate, Special > Dodge, Assist

 

Trigger W-Engines

As a Stun Agent, Trigger thrives with W-Engines that boost Crit Rate and Impact to maximize her Daze and Aftershock potential. Here are the top picks:

Best Choice

Signature W-Engine: Spectral Gaze Rarity: S-Rank Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bace ATK: 713 CRIT Rate: 24％

W-Engine Effect (R1):

• When the wearer lands an [Aftershock] attack on an enemy and deals Electric damage, the target’s DEF is reduced by 25% for 5 seconds; this passive effect does not stack with identical effects.
• If this effect triggers while the wearer is not the active character, the wearer gains 1 stack of [Spirit Lock], up to a maximum of 3 stacks, with a limit of 1 stack per move.
• Each stack of [Spirit Lock] increases the wearer’s Impact by 4% for 12 seconds, with each stack’s duration calculated independently. When [Spirit Lock] reaches 3 stacks, the wearer’s Impact is further increased by an additional 8%.

This weapon is tailor-made for Trigger, providing her with a substantial boost in critical rate to swiftly eliminate enemies. Additionally, it applies a 25% defense reduction to foes, effectively amplifying the entire team's damage output. The enhanced impact also accelerates enemy staggering, offering a significant advantage to the whole squad.

Alternatives W-Engines

S-Rank Alternatives		Equipment effect
The Restrained		Base ATK: 684 Bonus Stat: Impact 18% W-Engine Effect (R1): When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 6% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can trigger at most once during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Hellfire Gears		Base ATK: 684 Bonus Stat: Impact 18% W-Engine Effect (R1): While off-field, the equipper’s Energy Regen increases by 0.6/s. When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Impact is increased by 10% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
A-Rank Alternatives		Equipment effect
Precious Fossilized Core		Base ATK: 594 Bonus Stat: Impact 15% W-Engine Effect (R5): When the enemy's HP is at or above 50%, the wearer’s attacks inflict 16% more Daze. If the enemy's HP is at or above 75%, this bonus increases by an additional 16%.

Trigger Drive Discs

Trigger’s Drive Discs should enhance her Impact and Crit Rate to optimize her Stun and Aftershock damage. Here’s the best setup:

Best Drive Disc: King of the Summit + Shockstar Disco / Woodpecker Electro

King of the Summit Drive Discs are the best Drive Discs for Trigger. Most players would pick 4-piece set King of the Summit, which provides a Crit DMG boost to the whole team.

For the 2-piece slot, Shockstar Disco is recommended to enhance Impact. If you’re short on Crit Rate, you can swap in Woodpecker Electro for the extra Crit Rate boost.

Drive Discs		Effect
King of the Summit		2-Piece Set: Increases Daze of attacks by 6% 4-Piece Set: When the equipper is a Stun character and uses an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack, increases CRIT DMG of all squad members by 15%, and when the equipper’s CRIT Rate is more than or equal to 50%, further increases CRIT DMG by 15%, lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Shockstar Disco		2-piece Set: Impact +6% 4-piece Set: Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target.
Woodpecker Electro		2-Piece Set: CRIT Rate +8% 4-Piece Set: Landing a critical hit on an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases the equipper’s ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.

 

Trigger Best Drive Disc Stats

To hit Trigger’s optimal 90% Crit Rate (for max Daze via her Additional Ability) and boost her Stun power, aim for these stats:

Main Stats:

• Slot 4: Crit Rate
• Slot 5: Electric DMG > ATK%, Penetration
• Slot 6: Impact > ATK

Substats:

Crit Rate > Crit DMG> ATK%, Penetration, Flat ATK

With Spectral Gaze’s 24% Crit Rate, you’ll need ~66% more from Discs and substats. Prioritize Crit Rate to unlock her full Daze potential, then stack Impact for faster Stuns.
