Best Trigger Build Guide

Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·

Playstyle Overview

Trigger is an Electric Stun Agent who Dazes from off-field and basically doubles as a Support. Whenever her Aftershocks land, her Core Passive Soul-Searching Gaze raises the target's Stun DMG Multiplier even before the enemy is Stunned, so she fits a huge range of teams.

She's simple to play: hold Basic Attack to enter Sniper Stance with Silenced Shot, build Purge, then swap out. While she has Purge, your teammates' attacks trigger Harmonizing Shot for heavy Daze. Build Impact and CRIT Rate, since her Additional Ability turns CRIT Rate above 40% into extra Daze. The catch: she really wants her signature W-Engine and M1, and it's hard to fill her field time.

Best W-Engines

1
Spectral GazeS1
Spectral Gaze

ATK 713 · CRIT Rate 24%

Best in slot, with outstanding team value: her Electric Aftershocks cut enemy DEF by 25% for 5s and she can keep that up almost permanently. You also get up to 20% combat Impact and 24% CRIT Rate to fuel her Additional Ability.
Wind Seeker ›

When the equipper's Aftershock hits an enemy, causing Electric DMG, the target's DEF is reduced by 25% for 5s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. When this effect is triggered, if the equipper is not the active character, they gain 1 stack of Spirit Lock, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. This can trigger only once per use of a skill. Each stack of Spirit Lock increases the equipper's Impact by 4%, lasting 12s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. At full stacks of Spirit Lock, the equipper's Impact increases by an additional 8%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

2
Blazing LaurelS1
Blazing Laurel

ATK 713 · Impact 18%

Second choice in Fire and Ice teams (Miyabi, Evelyn): her Aftershocks count as Basic Attacks, so she easily stacks the team-wide Fire/Ice CRIT DMG bonus (up to +30%). Use Defensive Assists before EX/Ultimate combos for the extra Impact; outside those teams it's still solid thanks to its high Impact.
Flowing Flame ›

Upon launching a Quick Assist or Perfect Assist, the equipper's Impact increases by 25% for 8s. When the equipper launches and hits an enemy with a Basic Attack, apply Wilt to the target for 30s, stacking up to 20 times, repeated triggers reset the duration. When any squad member hits an enemy, for every stack of Wilt applied to the target, the CRIT DMG of the Ice DMG and Fire DMG dealt by that attack increases by 1.5%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

3
Ice-Jade TeapotS1
Ice-Jade Teapot

ATK 713 · Impact 18%

Each Aftershock hits several times and counts as a Basic Attack, so Trigger usually reaches and holds the 15-stack threshold: extra combat Impact and a 20% DMG boost for the whole team.
Ringing Melody ›

When a Basic Attack hits an enemy, gain 1 stack of Tea-riffic. Each stack of Tea-riffic increases the user’s Impact by 0.7%, stacking up to 30 times, and lasting for 8s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Upon acquiring Tea-riffic, if the equipper possesses stacks of Tea-riffic greater than or equal to 15, all squad members’ DMG is increased by 20% for 10s.

Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

4
The RestrainedS1
The Restrained

ATK 684 · Impact 18%

The best non-limited option: it stacks Daze and DMG for Basic Attacks, Harmonizing Shot included. She always holds at least 3 stacks and hits the full 5 for a while after her EX Special Attack or Ultimate.
Binding Chains ›

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.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

5
Precious Fossilized CoreS5
Precious Fossilized Core

ATK 594 · Impact 15%

More situational because it depends on the enemy's remaining HP, but in Deadly Assault (bosses stay at high HP for long) it becomes one of her best Daze options. Steam Oven S5 is a 4-star alternative with higher Impact potential but harder upkeep, best kept for Shiyu Defense.
Behemoth Hunter ›

When the target's HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 10% more Daze to the target. When the target's HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further increased by 10%.

*Stats are shown at base level

6
Hellfire GearsS1
Hellfire Gears

ATK 684 · Impact 18%

Usually excellent on Stunners, but Trigger doesn't use her EX Special Attack often enough to hold more than 1 Impact stack. In exchange, it offers higher personal damage.
Passionate Construction ›

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.

Best Drive Discs

1
4
King of the Summit
4-pc ›
2-piece:

Increases Daze of attacks by 6%

4-piece:

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.

2
Shockstar Disco
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Impact +6%

The best Stun set: the 2-piece adds 6% Daze, and the 4-piece gives the whole team up to 30% CRIT DMG on EX Special Attacks or Chain Attacks, as long as the wearer has 50%+ CRIT Rate. Trigger builds CRIT anyway, so that's easy. Pair it with 2-piece Shockstar Disco (recommended) or Swing Jazz. It's weak if the team isn't built on CRIT, and it can't be stacked twice in one team.
2
4
Astral Voice
4-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

4-piece:

Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad.

2
King of the Summit
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Increases Daze of attacks by 6%

The best pick in teams with an Armorer such as Claret. Trigger stacks it herself through the Quick Assists triggered by her EX Special Attack and Silenced Shot finisher, but those animations are long, so mix in your Support's Quick Assists. The 2-piece can be swapped for Shockstar Disco or Swing Jazz.
3
4
Shadow Harmony
4-pc ›
2-piece:

The DMG of Aftershocks and Dash Attacks is increased by 15%.

4-piece:

Upon hitting an enemy with an Aftershock or Dash Attack, if the DMG dealt aligns with the equipper's attribute, the equipper gains 1 stack of a buff effect, at most once per use of a skill. For each stack, the equipper's ATK increases by 4%, and CRIT Rate increases by 4%. The effect can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

2
Woodpecker Electro
2-pc ›
2-piece:

CRIT Rate +8%

A personal-damage route: Shadow Harmony boosts Aftershock DMG and stacks ATK and CRIT Rate whenever her Electric Aftershocks land, while 2-piece Woodpecker Electro adds 8% CRIT Rate, which also means more Daze through her Additional Ability.
4
4
Shockstar Disco
4-pc ›
2-piece:

Impact +6%

4-piece:

Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target.

2
King of the Summit
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Increases Daze of attacks by 6%

Gives the most Daze, but the gap over the 2-piece alone is tiny; only worth it when the 4-piece unlocks an extra Stun against a boss, or in teams without Soldier 0 - Anby. 2-piece Woodpecker Electro can replace King of the Summit.

Impact is her most important stat. Unlike most Stunners, Trigger really wants CRIT Rate: every 1% above 40% adds 1.5% Aftershock Daze, capping at 90%, which is usually only reachable with Spectral Gaze. Once CRIT Rate is covered, move on to CRIT DMG and ATK.

Skill Priority

  1. Core Skill
  2. ›Basic Attack
  3. ›Special Attack
  4. ›Chain Attack
  5. ›Assist
  6. ›Dodge

Level her Core Skill first to raise the Stun DMG Multiplier she applies. Basic Attack (Silenced Shot and Harmonizing Shot) provides most of her Daze, followed by Special Attack since her EX Special is a key part of the rotation, then Chain Attack/Ultimate. Assist comes later, and Dodge can mostly be skipped because she rarely stays on-field.

Best Teams for Trigger

Most Used Teams Right Now

Trigger's most used team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault. Claret shares her Electric attribute and unlocks her Additional Ability; Trigger Stuns from off-field so Claret can unload, while Rina raises her teammates' PEN Ratio.
Her second most used team, built around Aftershocks. Soldier 0 - Anby wants lots of field time while Trigger and Orphie deal Daze and damage with off-field Aftershocks, and Anby boosts the whole team's Aftershock DMG in return.

Generalist Teams

Trigger fits almost any Attack Agent: her off-field Daze and Stun DMG Multiplier debuff are always valuable. Astra Yao adds buffs, Quick Assists and healing.
A mono-Electric team with two Attack Agents and a high average Shiyu Defense score. Cissia makes the team's Electric DMG ignore DEF, Seed empowers the other Attacker, and Trigger handles the Stun.

Rupture Team

Trigger is one of the best Stun options for Yixuan: she raises the Stun DMG Multiplier constantly and Dazes from off-field so Yixuan can stay on the field. Her Additional Ability isn't active and her signature's DEF shred does nothing for Rupture, so high-Daze W-Engines like Blazing Laurel are fine here.

F2P Team

The Cunning Hares trio with Trigger replacing Anby: Trigger Stuns, Nicole shreds enemy DEF, and Billy, as an Attack Agent, unlocks Trigger's Additional Ability.

Best Bangboo for Trigger

Plugboo is the main pick in teams with at least 2 Electric Agents (Claret, Harumasa), letting its Bangboo Chain Attack build a lot of Electric Anomaly; Electroboo is the alternative with the same requirement. In the Aftershock team with Soldier 0 - Anby and Orphie, use Mercury (needs 2 Defense Force members): its Active Skill grows stronger whenever the team deals Aftershock DMG.

In the F2P team with Nicole, Booressure restores Energy even to off-field Agents; Sumoboo, Knightboo, Bagboo and Avocaboo also work.

Skills

Basic Attack: Cold-Bore Shot

Press Basic to activate:

Unleashes up to 4 shots ahead. The first 3 hits deal Physical DMG, the 4th hit deals Electric DMG.

Basic Attack: Silenced Shot

Hold Basic to activate:

Trigger enters the Sniper Stance and fires forward continuously, dealing Electric DMG.

While continually firing, when attacked by an enemy, Trigger will automatically evade. This effect can trigger once every 8s.

While continually firing, you can drag the Move to adjust her position to the left/right/back.

Automatically evading attacks or adjusting position when about to be hit will trigger a Perfect Dodge, followed by an automatic charged counter.

Character is invulnerable during the charged counter and Finishing Move.

When the continuous firing or the charged counter hits an enemy, Trigger gains 25 Purge, up to a maximum of 100 Purge.

When the Finishing Move hits an enemy, it triggers the Quick Assist of the previous character in the squad. A Quick Assist can only be triggered through this method once every 25s.

Basic Attack: Harmonizing Shot

Mindscape Cinema

Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?

M1 is the most valuable upgrade since it greatly boosts the Stun DMG Multiplier Trigger provides for the team. M2 adds CRIT DMG for teammates, and M6 turns Trigger into a real damage source. M3 and M5 only add skill levels, so they're not counted.

  • M1
    Her Core Passive's Stun DMG Multiplier increase gains another 20%, Harmonizing Shot's cooldown drops to 2s, Purge gain rises by 25% and max Purge becomes 125. The result: more frequent, stronger Aftershocks for the team.
  • M2
    Each Aftershock (and her Sniper Stance finisher) grants a stack that raises the whole team's CRIT DMG by 6%, up to 4 stacks (24%). It's a big buff and easy to keep up.
  • M4
    While her post-EX/Ultimate support state is active, the next Harmonizing Shot deals extra DMG equal to 200% of her ATK and Daze equal to 120% of her Impact.
  • M6
    Trigger gains Armor Break Rounds on entry and as she spends Purge; each Sniper Stance hit consumes one for an extra 1,200% ATK Electric DMG (further increased by 50%), giving her serious personal damage.
M1

Sharpened SensesRecommended

The Stun DMG Multiplier applied through Core Passive: Soul-Searching Gaze is increased by an additional 20%.

When activating Basic Attack: Harmonizing Shot, the cooldown is reduced to 2s.

Purge gained upon hitting an enemy with the continuous fire or charged counter in Sniper Stance increases by 25%. Maximum Purge increases to 125.

Hearing that can distinguish every subtle change in the wind, touch that can sense every tremor in the ground. To compensate for her visual limitations, the young lady honed her other senses to perfection.

"Being a sniper is the only thing I excel at... At least in this, I refuse to lose to anyone."

M2

Ether VisionRecommended

Upon using an Aftershock, Trigger gains 1 stack of Hunter's Gaze. When executing a Finishing Move in Sniper Stance, Trigger gains 2 stacks of Hunter's Gaze.

Each stack of Hunter's Gaze increases all squad members' CRIT DMG by 6%, stacking up to 4 times, and lasting 10s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

When inside the Hollow, every Ether fluctuation around her becomes an aid to her spatial observation.

"I used to think these eyes were cursed, bringing nothing but pain."

"But now... they're my ticket to reaching my goals, and proof that I haven't forgotten my past."

M3

Homecoming

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

The home she could return to is now sealed away in the past.

Her cold lips pressed against the harmonica, the lonely melody the only testament to her memories.

M4

ConcealmentRecommended

When Trigger enters or extends Coordinated Support, while the state is active, the next time other squad members trigger Basic Attack: Harmonizing Shot or Basic Attack: Harmonizing Shot - Tartarus, it will trigger Disconnect upon hitting an enemy, dealing additional DMG equal to 200% of Trigger's ATK and inflict Daze equal to 120% of Trigger's Impact.

This skill has a relatively high Interrupt Level.

Footsteps, breaths, heartbeats.

She smothers every trace of her own aura until her entire form blends seamlessly with the environment. She moves through the battlefield like a ghostly reaper.

Outside of combat though, this silent way of moving has been strictly forbidden after scaring her teammates one too many times.

Of course, she definitely hasn't been using these stealth tactics to observe the video store when she can't find an opportunity to meet someone there... right?

M5

Locked In

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

Once a target is locked, even with a broken, decaying body or through excruciating pain, never let your crosshair waver. From the targets of her revenge to those she must protect, from enemies to allies — this is the will of a sniper.

But with the Proxy, the one who gave her light in her darkest hour, it's not about locking in but being drawn in. Even if there's no reason to keep watching, she will never divert her aim — this is the will of a young lady.

M6

Beyond the River of the DeadRecommended

Upon entering the battlefield, Trigger gains 5 Armor Break Rounds.

For every 25 Purge consumed, Trigger gains 1 additional Armor Break Round, up to a maximum of 5 rounds.

While possessing Armor Break Rounds, when Trigger hits a target in Sniper Stance, 1 Armor Break Round is consumed to deal additional Electric DMG equal to 1,200% of Trigger's ATK. In addition, this instance of DMG is additionally increased by 50%. This effect can trigger once every 0.2s.

"You know what? Those who are stained with blood in battle can only go to the underworld after death." "Beyond the river of the dead lies a sight of unparalleled beauty. Flowers bloom all around me, while familiar faces from my past accompany me to my final, peaceful place of rest." "But... because of you, because I have something to protect, perhaps I don't want that day to come so soon."

Story

Hồ Sơ Giấy Phép Điều Tra Viên: Trigger

According to records, Trigger originally served in the Lyre Squad of the Eridu Defense Force, Chrysoberyl Division. The other members of the squad were all killed during the fall of the old capital. Her eyes were also corrupted during this disaster. Trigger is currently working alongside the other members of her new squad to investigate the truth behind the fall of the old capital. Trigger has a deep sense of loyalty to her companions, willing to go to great lengths for them. Master, from her actions, it is evident that she considers you a companion and has a noticeably high level of affection for you. It is likely that some event has occurred, which has left a strong, positive impression on her. Suggestion: Offering unlimited red bean buns and round-the-clock access to soundproof rooms for harmonica playing as conditions, try negotiating a long-term partnership. This would enable you to secure extremely dependable combat strength with minimal expenditure.

Agent Profile: Trigger

Trigger is a sniper of New Eridu Defense Force, Obsidian Division's Obol Squad. Trigger is the code name she was assigned when enlisting in Eridu, and she's used it ever since. She has extremely unique eyes. While she cannot see most things, in Hollow environments, she can distinctly identify the position and changes of any entities that emit Ether fluctuations. Note: Such entities include living beings, native Ether substances, Ether products, and Ethereals.

Increase Trust to Close to unlock more

As a visually challenged person in the broadest sense, Trigger has honed her other senses to the utmost, allowing her to move and act as if she could see. She can even detect subtle changes in her environment with precision. This makes her highly adept in the tactical position of a sniper, capable of handling a variety of covert tasks such as stealth, surveillance, and assassination. In contrast to her precise and deadly combat abilities, her personality makes her seem rather unassuming. Aside from occasionally appearing silently in the video store and giving the Second Assistant a sudden scare, she can generally be considered harmless.

Cooperation Notes

Belle

The last time I was alone at home and running a fever, Trigger unexpectedly showed up at the store. Without even checking my temperature, she knew I had a fever of 38.6 and took care of me the whole afternoon... How did she know?
Wise
Are you asking how she knew you had a fever, or how she knew the exact temperature? I'm not sure either, but a little while ago when I sprained my ankle in the parking lot, she showed up with an ice pack almost immediately...
