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.

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: Shadow Harmony&Shockstar Disco

Shadow Harmony Drive Discs are brand-new content introduced in Version 1.6. Their effects perfectly align with Trigger’s pursuit mechanics, making stacks easy to max out and helping to bridge the Crit Rate gap for her Additional Ability.
Additionally, Shockstar Disco is another solid choice for Trigger, boosting her Impact to enhance her Stun potential.

Drive Discs		Effect
	Shadow Harmony	2-piece Set: Increases damage dealt by [Aftershock] and [Dash Attack] by 15%. 4-piece Set: When [Aftershock] or [Dash Attack] hits an enemy, if the damage dealt matches the wearer's attribute, gain 1 stack of a buff effect (max once per move). Each stack increases the wearer's Attack by 4% and Crit Rate by 4%, stacking up to 3 times for 15 seconds. Triggering the effect again refreshes the duration.
	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.

 

Best Alternative Drive Discs

Drive Discs		Effect
	Swing Jazz	2-piece Set: Energy Regen +20% 4-piece Set: Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
	Woodpecker Electro	2-piece Set: CRIT Rate +8%

 

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%
• 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.

 

Trigger Teams

Trigger shines in teams with high-frequency attackers or Electric synergy to trigger her Aftershocks and Additional Ability. Here are her best comps:

Premium Team:

Soldier 0 Anby (Silver Soldier) + Trigger + Support

Main DPS	Stun	Support

Silver Soldier - Anby thrives as an on-field damage dealer, pairing flawlessly with Trigger, who stuns enemies from off-field. Astra Yao elevates this duo as the ultimate support, delivering powerful buffs and healing via her Core Skill and Special Attack.

If you don't have Astra Yao, you can also replace it with Pulchra , Lucy, Caesar, etc. Pulchra can provide imbalance and chase damage boosts, and Caesar can provide shield and other boosts.
