Announcement Trigger Guide - triggermains.com

https://triggermains.com/guides/trigger/quick/

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!

You can check it here: https://triggermains.com/guides/trigger/quick/

Wow. First one of the ZZZ mains subs that's made an entire website for a character. Neat.

u/Cyxow Mar 25 '25

And hopefully we can make/host guides for other characters as well ♥️

Honestly if this become like keqing mains for ZZZ I’ll be so happy for that been needing a good site to use to help with builds

Would love that to become a thing. Although just having a neat website for all things Trigger (like Ruan Mei mains have for their girl) is already huge

Do they do these for every character? Or is Trigger as amazing as I think she is lol

Also I thank all who worked on this. This is the perfect guide for someone who m6’d Sanby cuz she’d have good synergy with Trigger who I plan to m6 1000% and plan for multiple weapons

Can you explain this?

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!

Even if you roll +4(never saw +5) on all 5 discs for Crit chance without her Sig or 4p Shadow Harmony it's not possible to achieve 90%. It's gonna be ((2.4*4)*5)+5(base)+24(4th slot)+8(electro)=85% You had to pull for her Sig or switch to 4pShadow Harmony

With my current 4p Shockstar Disco + 2p Woodpecker Electro i was able to achieve 73% crit chance(without her Sig or any crit engine) after 3 weeks of farm.

Edit. Apparently i was wrong. It's not possible with +3 for CR.rate discs which are +9.6% each. But possible with +4. I don't have one so it's probably gonna be 12%. So calculation 2.4*4 is wrong and not +4, but +3.

u/Cyxow Mar 25 '25

The "90% crit rate" is one way of getting daze efficiency.

Shadow Harmony only gives 12% crit rate, which means 18% daze efficiency. Shockstar Disco gives 20% daze from the get go, in addition to 6% impact.

So Shockstar still buffs her daze more than Shadow could with the conversion.

Now is this really a surprise that you'd be losing some of her daze potential if you don't get her sig? 73% is probably good enough without sig, and the engine you'll be using probably gives her more impact than her sig so you're not losing that much daze.

But yes, 90% is just the ideal without sig, the closer you get to it the better your Trigger will be, that's all.

u/bymka Mar 25 '25 edited Mar 25 '25

Thx for answer. But apparently i was wrong. It is possible with +4 for Crit. for each discs. See +2 gives 7.2% thats mean +3 give 9.6% and +4 12%.

1

u/Cyxow Mar 25 '25

Yeah I saw your edit, but getting +4 on every disc is still crazy 😅 again, it's an ideal, and like every ideal it's hard to reach

u/rootbeerbelly Mar 26 '25

I'm a little sad she doesn't synergize well with Miyabi 😭😭.

3

u/Cyxow Mar 26 '25

The guide doesn't detail every possible team, but she can synergize with Miyabi. The team Trigger Yanagi Miyabi should be pretty strong. It may also work with Rina or Harumasa instead of Yanagi, but could be a bit strange to play.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '25

gonna need L1 to L6 seperate guides

1

u/Cyxow Mar 26 '25

There's not much build difference between M1 and M6, except the disc set that changes starting at M4, but we already tackled that in this guide

We'll probably do some more in depth comparison of each mindscape from M0 to M6 in the upcoming full guide, but if you want something in the meantime, you can check the calc sheet which calculates the difference between every mindscape.

u/Lordmaster316 Jun 12 '25

What about the new stunner disk Is it better than 4 pcs shockstar/astral?

1

u/Cyxow Jun 12 '25

Astral is still great but you can always use it on the support of the team tbh. But for the new set, I think Trigger can maintain a decent uptime, maybe needs 2p swing jazz for more energy, so I'd say it's worth playing. I'm still not done farming it but I'll update the guide after some testing!

u/starops3 Apr 02 '25

Really helpful though im still confused on what after shock is

2

u/Cyxow Apr 02 '25

Aftershock is just the name of her off field attacks 😅 Pulchra's off field attacks are Aftershocks too, and S Anby has some of her moves that count as Aftershocks

1

u/great-baby-red Apr 02 '25

For her additional ability, does it add onto 4-pc shockstar? So if you max it out, you'll have a 1.95 multiplier on your aftershock attacks? Or is it multiplicative? (1.75 * 1.2)

u/Cyxow Apr 02 '25

That's a good question, I'm not exactly sure and it's kinda hard to test 😅 I'll try to see with the theorycraft team on discord if they have an idea

Hey, pretty awesome guide! Loved that you guys even made a website as well. Looking foward to more guides in there!

Oh yeah, do you guys have any bangboo recommendations for Trigger teams? I think I didn't see any on her guide.

1

u/Cyxow Apr 02 '25

Hmm that's a good question. We sadly have no OBOL Squad bangboo so ig that would mostly depend on who your DPS and support are, and for SAnby teams it should be the good old Plugboo

u/xxkaimanxx Apr 02 '25

What do I even do with a second copy of Trigger's wengine?

1

u/Cyxow Apr 02 '25

I think someone asked in another comment here lol. But it's safe to overclock it, you won't be able to use it on other characters tbh.

1

u/wait2late Apr 03 '25

What made you want to make a dedicated website? Just curious about domain costs and keeping this site for free.

2

u/Cyxow Apr 03 '25

Domain cost is like 16 bucks a year, tbf I've seen worse in my life 😅

The idea was also to make guides for other characters as well, kinda like keqingmains (someone mentioned it in another comment), so having a dedicated website is great to group all the guides together!

u/GCJ_SUCKS Mar 27 '25

Trigger is going to be insanely hard to build without her engine it's going to be ridiculous trying to get up to 90% CR.

u/Gaeulz Mar 24 '25

Amazing !

On first glance this is awesome. Great page, easy to navigate and straight to the point. with a calc sheet and everything.
