Just wrapped up a marathon gaming session with Trigger, and I'm absolutely blown away by how versatile she is in Zenless Zone Zero! As a Lightning Stun specialist from Obol Squad, she's completely changed my approach to team building. Her off-field Aftershock mechanics are chef's kiss - allowing me to focus on my main DPS while she handles stunning in the background.

What makes Trigger truly special in the 2025 meta is her universal stunner status. I've tested her in countless team compositions, and she slots in seamlessly with almost any Attacker. The way she can accumulate Purge or enter Coordinated Support means my other characters can trigger multiple Aftershock attacks when hitting enemies. It's like having a constant lightning storm at your disposal! 🌩ī¸

Trigger + Anby + Astra: The Dream Team

After weeks of testing, I've found my absolute favorite team comp featuring Trigger. Pairing her with Soldier 0 - Anby is a match made in New Eridu heaven! Here's why:

Anby needs tons of field time to stack those Silver Star marks, and Trigger perfectly complements this by doing her job off-field. I used to struggle with Anby's on-field requirements, but now Trigger handles stunning while barely taking any field time herself.

Adding Astra Yao as the third member creates what I consider the perfect trifecta:

  • Anby: Main DPS powerhouse, Aftershock trigger

  • Trigger: Off-field sub-DPS, stunning support, buffer (her Signature W-Engine is worth every Polychrome!)

  • Astra Yao: Support goddess, buffer, and clutch healer

The synergy is unreal! When Astra's Idyllic Cadenza state is active, the whole team gets massive buffs, plus her healing from her Ultimate means I can be more aggressive with Anby. I've cleared some of the toughest content in ZZZ with this team, and it feels almost unfair sometimes. 😅

Miyabi Team Variation

Not everyone has Anby (I got lucky on her rerun banner last month), so I've experimented with other comps too. Miyabi remains a top-tier powerhouse in 2025, and pairing her with Trigger creates a team that's equally destructive:

  • Miyabi: Main DPS queen

  • Trigger: Off-field stun specialist

  • Yanagi: Secondary DPS with Disorder buffs

The beautiful thing about this team is how they all complement each other's Additional Abilities. Miyabi and Yanagi trigger each other, while Yanagi and Trigger do the same. The rotation feels so smooth - I start with Trigger's setup, switch to Yanagi for buffs, then unleash Miyabi's full damage potential.

I used to run Astra in this slot before getting Trigger, but now I can use Astra on my second team for Spiral Abyss-style content. Talk about resource optimization! đŸ’Ē

Double Stunner Experimentation

For those who really want to lock down enemies, I've been having a blast with double stunner comps. Since Trigger barely needs field time, she pairs perfectly with another stunner who shares the same philosophy.

My personal favorite combo:

  • Evelyn: Main DPS with incredible scaling

  • Trigger: Off-field stun support

  • Lighter: Secondary stun support and buffer

This team absolutely dominates in the new Shattered Dimensions content that dropped last month. Enemies barely get to move between all the stuns, and Evelyn's damage output is insane when she has uninterrupted attack windows.

I've also tested Pulchra and Qingyi in the Lighter slot, and both work beautifully. It really comes down to personal preference and which characters you've invested in.

Building Trigger

One thing I've learned is that Trigger's Signature W-Engine weapon makes a MASSIVE difference in her performance. I initially tried her with a 4-star alternative, but the moment I got her signature, her contribution to the team skyrocketed. The buff potential is just too good to pass up.

For those still saving up for her weapon, focus on these stats:

  • Energy Recharge (priority #1)

  • CRIT Rate/DMG

  • ATK%

Remember that her primary value comes from enabling others, so don't stress too much about her personal damage numbers!

Final Thoughts

After a month of playing with Trigger in various team comps, I'm convinced she's one of the most flexible support units in ZZZ. The way she enables so many different attackers while requiring minimal field time makes her an incredible asset for any account.

What team are you running with Trigger? I'm still experimenting and would love to hear your experiences! I just pulled Grace yesterday and am curious if there's potential synergy there too...

Until next time, happy stunning! ⚡
