Building Trigger in Zenless Zone Zero: Top W-Engines and Drive Discs

Optimal W-Engine for Trigger

Spectral Gaze

The Spectral Gaze is Trigger’s signature W-Engine, boasting an impressive 24% CRIT Rate substat at maximum level. This weapon not only lowers the target’s DEF by 25% upon an Aftershock hit, which yields Electric DMG, but it also grants her Spirit Lock stacks when she is inactive during combat, capping at three.

With each stack of Spirit Lock, Trigger’s Impact increases by 4%, providing an additional 8% at full stacks to heighten her ability to inflict Daze. Thus, Spectral Gaze significantly boosts her damage potential and ensures consistent enemy stagger.

Box Cutter

For players opting for a free-to-play strategy, the Box Cutter serves as a great alternative W-Engine. This A-rank option enhances Impact through its substat while increasing Physical DMG by 15%, with an additional 10% boost to Daze following an Aftershock launch.

While the elemental enhancement may not directly benefit Trigger, the added stun potential from the Daze improvement is highly impactful.

Consider these additional W-Engine options to further tailor Trigger’s build:

  • Precious Fossilized Core
  • The Restrained
  • Steam Oven

Top Drive Discs for Trigger

To optimize Trigger’s performance in battle, equip her with the following Drive Discs:

  • 4-Piece Shockstar Disco + 2-Piece Woodpecker Electro

The 4-Piece Shockstar Disco set is ideal for Stun agents, enhancing Trigger’s Impact by 6% and boosting her ability to inflict 20% more Daze on primary targets through basic attacks, dash attacks, and dodge counters. The 2-Piece Woodpecker Electro adds an 8% CRIT Rate, ensuring Trigger’s attacks yield reliable damage output.

For the best results, focus on securing the following stats for Trigger’s Drive Discs:

  • Slot 4: Crit Rate/Crit DMG
  • Slot 5: Electric DMG
  • Slot 6: Impact

Trigger’s Skills and Recommended Team Compositions

Prioritizing Trigger’s Skills in ZZZ

For optimal performance, prioritize leveling up Trigger’s core skill, which unlocks her passive and amplifies her abilities, ultimately maximizing her damage output.

Due to limited resources, the following skill upgrade order is recommended:

  • Basic Attack > EX Special Attack > Chain Attack > Assist > Dodge

Since Trigger’s primary off-field damage derives from her Basic Attack, it’s advisable to upgrade this ability first.

Best Team Compositions for Trigger

The combination of Trigger, Soldier 0 Anby, and Astra Yao forms a highly potent team with powerful S-Rank agents, maximizing their overall damage capability compared to alternative compositions.
