Trigger
Trigger is an S-rank Stun powerhouse that enables unique coordinated playstyles through Aftershock mechanics. She provides massive team-wide synergy by increasing Stun multipliers and facilitating coordinated support attacks.
Trigger is an electric Stun unit who utilizes a unique Purge mechanic to fuel coordinated support attacks from squad members. Through her Sniper Stance and various Aftershock triggers, she actively manipulates the enemy's Stun DMG Multiplier. Her kit transitions fluidly between personal offensive utility and enabling high-frequency team coordination.

CRIT Rate
When the equipper hits an enemy with an Aftershock, causing Electric DMG, the target's DEF is reduced by 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% 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 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%, lasting 12s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. At full stacks of Spirit Lock, the equipper's Impact increases by an additional 8/9.2/10.4/11.6/12.8%.
Why it works —Spectral Gaze maximizes impact growth and team debuffing via Aftershock procs.
Impact
Upon launching a Quick Assist or Perfect Assist, the equipper's Impact increases by 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% 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 1.5/1.72/1.95/2.17/2.4%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad.
Why it works —Blazing Laurel provides significant impact buffs through Quick/Perfect Assists.
Impact
When a Basic Attack hits an enemy, gain 1 stack of Tea-riffic. Each stack of Tea-riffic increases the user's Impact by 0.7/0.88/1.05/1.22/1.4%, 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 20/23/26/29/32% for 10s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Why it works —Ice-Jade Teapot offers sustained impact and flat team DMG buffs through frequent basic attacks.
Impact
When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% 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.
A-Rank W-Engines
Impact
When the target's HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% more Daze. When the target's HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further enhanced by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%.
Why it works —Precious Fossilized Core is the best budget alternative for high initial Daze potential.
