ZZZ Trigger: A Detailed Guide and the Best Build

Examples of various commands for implementing a sniper from the "Obol Squad" and recommendations for assembling for damage, stunning or team support.

Guide to Gashetka in Zenless Zone Zero is aimed at fully implementing the mechanics of a "pocket" stunner and a sub-DD with support functions. In combat, the sniper supports allies in the arena with aftershock shots, which not only deal damage, but also impose a stun multiplier on the enemy. Due to this feature, it can complement any potential squad build, as long as the requirements of its additional passive ability are met.

In the build, she prefers crit chance, impulse and increasing personal DPS, and if desired, she can wear sets to strengthen the team. Considering that her aftershocks are interconnected with the basic attack, she has a wide arsenal of weapons, including extremely effective budget options.

Gashetka is a sniper of the "Obol Squad" of the Obsidian Division of the New Eridu Armed Forces. Due to the effects of ether on her eyes, she completely lost her sight, but honed her other senses to perfection and learned to hide her presence. At the beginning of Phaeton's activities, she already carried out orders with the protagonists, and after personally meeting Weisz and Belle, she became a frequent guest on Sixth Street.

Features

By investing resources into leveling up and developing the sniper's skills, the values ​​of her basic characteristics increase:

Unlocking the potential, in turn, helps to raise pulse with 113 to 131 points.

Basic skills

In ZZZ, Gashetka plays the role of a secondary damage dealer and support, who helps the fighter on the field with fire support. To do this, the heroine uses aftershocks, which are launched after the active character's techniques hit opponents. Launching one aftershock takes 3 or 5 units of "Inflexibility", obtained through shots in a sniper stance.

Additional abilities include a quick help call to the left, to the previous character, as well as an additional status "Coordinated support" with no limit on the number of aftershocks per second. Thanks to the passive, the sniper applies a stun multiplier to enemies, even if they are not in a stun. Thus, the set of skills of the Gashetka is aimed at comprehensive support of the active agent strictly "from the pocket".

Fires up to four shots at a target, with the first three dealing physical damage and the last dealing electrical damage.

Hold the Basic Attack button to enter Sniper Stance and fire continuous electric shots. The following effects are active while in the sniper stance:

• Hitting enemies charges the gauge "Inflexibility" by 25 points up to a maximum of 100 points;
• when deviating to the left, right or back, the sniper will change position, which can trigger a perfect dodge and subsequent counterattack;
• If an enemy attacks the heroine, once every 8 seconds she will automatically dodge and launch a perfect dodge;
• as soon as the button is released, the girl will conduct final blow in a state of invulnerability;
• on hit finishing blow A quick help is launched at enemies from the character on the left, this effect has a cooldown of 25 seconds.

The skill is triggered when the girl has "Inflexibility" points and another active character in the squad hits the enemy:

• basic attack;
• dash attack;
• counterattack;
• skill without wasting energy;
• quick help.

The sniper fires two quick shots from different directions, consuming 3 points of "Unyielding". "Sniper Concerto" is considered an aftershock and can be activated no more than once every 3 seconds.

Whenever the active character hits an enemy with a heavy hit from a boosted special attack, an extra attack assist, or a super ability, a boosted variation of Aftershock is triggered.

The Sniper consumes 5 points of "Unyielding" and performs three shots from different directions and a finishing blow. Skills of the same type can trigger "Sniper Concerto - Tartarus" up to 2 times per 20 seconds for the entire squad.

A quick dodge while dashing.

While dodging, raises his rifle and fires a shot that deals physical damage.

After a perfect dodge, press the Basic Attack button to deal Electro damage to enemies in a quick shot.

Performs a chopping move that deals electrical damage.

Lunges forward, slashes, then jumps up and fires a powerful shot at the ground, dealing heavy Electro damage.

When a skill hits a monster, a quick assist from the previous party member is activated.

Hitting with the skill puts the girl into the "Coordinated Support" state with the following effects:

• Hitting an active agent with any move triggers the basic Sniper Concerto attack without spending Steadfastness points and without cooldown restrictions;
• the effect lasts for 8 seconds, and a maximum of 4 aftershocks can be launched;
• Re-entering the state extends the effect and grants additional aftershock activations, up to a maximum of 20 seconds and 10 activations.

Fires multiple powerful shots with the Electro attribute.

When activated, the ult deals massive damage in a large area in front of him, launches a quick assist, and enters the "Coordinated Support" state.

The effects are the same as those described in the Instant Burial skill, except that after the ult the condition lasts for 12 seconds, and aftershocks can trigger up to 6 times.

When the active character is thrown up, he enters the field and makes a quick shot.

Parries an enemy attack and accumulates a lot of stun points on the enemy.

After assisting in defense, performs a series of chopping blows and a powerful shot after landing.

Whenever Trigger's Aftershock hits an enemy, their Vulnerability Multiplier is instantly increased by 20-35% for 5 seconds. The effect is applied even if the target is not stunned.

When there is an Assault class agent or one with the Electro attribute in the squad, every 1% of Trigger's critical chance over 40% increases the stun from aftershocks by 1,5%. The maximum bonus is 75%.

Attributes > Basic Attack > EX Skill = Super Ability >> Assist = Evasion

Being a support and sub-DD, the heroine needs to develop skills that will increase her personal damage, stun efficiency and buff volume:

1. Makings: The priority in terms of supporting the damage dealer is to apply a stun multiplier during the battle.
2. Base ATK: all sniper aftershocks are scaled through this skill, so as it develops, the stun and damage will increase.
3. Skill and superpower: Powerful sources of damage and the Coordinated Support effect.
4. Help and evasion: the character rarely fights on the field, so upgrading the skills in question can be postponed.

How to Play as Gashetka: Rotation

When playing as Trigger, you need to take into account a number of effects with different durations and combine them for the best efficiency.

• By holding down the basic attack, the sniper fires continuously and accumulates "Inflexibility" points up to a maximum of 100. The ability ends with a quick help call to the left - activated once every 25 seconds.
• Aftershock "Sniper Concerto" is triggered by the active agent's standard abilities once every 3 seconds and consumes 3 points of "Relentlessness".
• The enhanced variation of "Sniper Concert - Tartarus" is triggered by an EX skill, ult or additional attack assist with a limit of only 2 times from one type of skill with a cooldown of 20 seconds. Consumes 5 points.
• Empowered skill applies Coordinated Support status for 8 seconds, grants 4 Aftershock charges, and triggers Quick Aid. Steadfast does not consume.
• The Super applies Coordinated Support for 12 seconds, grants 6 charges, and also activates a character swap to the left.

The team rotation alternates skills so that the strong versions of Aftershocks fall during the stun window, and the enhanced special attack follows the ult. Filling the "Unyielding" bar is as easy as holding down the basic attack button.

The best eidoses

The girl's mental picture increases the squad's DPS due to additional buffs and increased personal damage.

After performing aftershocks, the heroine gains 1 level of the "Hunter's Gaze" effect. The finishing blow in the sniper stance gives 2 levels of "Hunter's Gaze".

Each level of the effect increases the unit's critical damage by 6%, stacks 4 times, lasts 10 seconds. Repeated launches reset the timer.

At the beginning of the battle, the girl receives five armor-piercing rounds. For every 25 points of "Inflexibility" spent, she receives 1 more round. The maximum you can hold is 5 pieces.

If the heroine has ammo, then hitting targets in a sniper stance spends one ammo to deal additional Electro damage equal to 1200% of the attack power, while a 50% damage increase buff begins to take effect. Triggers no more than once every 0,2 seconds.

The best consts of the Gashetka are the first, second and sixth:

• M1 Gives an additional 20% to the stun multiplier, which is equal to the overall damage bonus. Among other effects, it reduces the heroine's presence on the field.
• M2 Provides the entire squad with a nearly constant 24% critical damage boost.
• M6 Provides a good start to the fight, and also dramatically increases DPS with each subsequent refill of Steadfast.

F2P players looking for the best value for money in a sniper banner should stick with the first const. As for the Ghost Gaze sign, it's better than the M1.

Best Builds for Gashetka in ZZZ

In battle, the sniper supports the main damage dealer on the field with damage and stun from aftershocks, as well as a vulnerability multiplier. Performing three different roles, the heroine can focus on developing personal DPS, support potential, or give preference to impulse.

When selecting drive discs and weapons, pay attention to the presence of the following characteristics:

• crit chance - thanks to the additional passive "Silver Lantern" the effectiveness of the stun will increase proportionally to the chance of critical hits;
• pulse - a key parameter when it comes to the speed of accumulation of stun points on enemies;
• Attack power and Electro damage bonus - have a positive effect on damage in general.

Along with the critical chance, it is worth developing critical damage in a ratio of 1 to 2. However, in rare cases, the Trigger can be in the same squad with Anomaly class fighters - for them knowledge of anomaly is more valuable than crit damage.

The best weapon for Gashetka is her signature "Ghost Gaze". The amplifier offers the heroine valuable increases to crit. chance and impulse, and her team gives a cut to the defense of enemies. In the absence of a signature, all amplifiers of the class are considered, capable of offering increases to damage, stun or third-party buffs for the squad.

AmplifierEffectFeatures of the Ghostly gaze⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Base attack power 48-713 CRIT Rate: 9,6-24%When an agent with this item hits an enemy with Aftershock and deals Electric Damage, the target's Defense is reduced by 25-40% for 5 sec. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. If the agent with this item is not the active character when this effect is triggered, he gains 1 stack of "Spirit Shackles", maximum 3. Using one skill can only give the effect once.

Depending on the priority role that the sniper plays within the pack, you can equip a set for personal damage or aim to strengthen squad members with the help of support drive disks.

One of the best support sets with a total damage bonus of 24%. However, it is important to consider that the sniper calls for quick help once every 25 seconds with a basic attack, as well as without reloading with an enhanced skill and ult. Therefore, it is important to keep a character of the Support class in the team, who will refresh the duration of the effects if necessary.

Can be combined with any of the above drive sets.

The table shows the priority parameters in the drives:

When choosing equipment, focus on the optimal indicators of all key stats:

• health: from 10 units;
• ATK: 2 units and higher;
• pulse: not less than 170;
• CRIT Rate: at 90% the maximum buff from the Silver Lantern proc is achieved, increases during the battle are also taken into account;
• CRIT DMG: 120-140% - optional;
• knowledge of anomaly: 250 points - in abnormal builds.

Companions in teams are selected based on the main DD's needs for damage, anomaly or control. A good option among the banbu for Gashetka and the team she supports will be assistants with energy restoration for skills, because the resource is needed to perform the aftershock "Sniper Concert - Tartarus" and launch "Coordinated Support".

• Every 22 seconds, Banbu gains 3 Camera Rolls. If Clicker has Camera Rolls and an agent launches a Dodge Counter, Quick Assist, or Extra Attack Assist, Clicker will consume 1 Camera Roll to take a photo and apply a damage-boosting buff to the agent for 10 seconds.
• If the squad has 2 or more agents from the Lyra Constellation: When Clicker places a buff on an agent, the agent is immediately restored to 4% health.
• Flashes a powerful light into the enemy's eyes, dealing Ethereal damage and causing a powerful accumulation of Ethereal Attribute Anomaly.

• Restores energy to the agent who received the treat.
• If the squad has 2 agents from a domestic staff agency «Victoria", energy recovery with an active skill increases by 20%.
• Attacks targets at a long distance, inflicting high physical damage.

• Periodically bounces on a toy horse, creating Knight Stars. When the character picks up a star, he restores energy.
• If there is an agent of the class in the squad Support: By picking up stars, the agent gains a buff to attack power that scales with the banbu's level.
• Summons minions that deal Ethereal damage up to 10 times.

• Jumps on the enemy and deals huge area damage. Has a high probability of interrupting the attacks of affected targets.
• When there is a minimum in the squad 1 agent specialty Intimidation, increases the accumulation of stun points from an active skill at a certain stun level of the target.
• Banbu attack chain is missing.

• Hides in a box, attracting enemies. If Banba is attacked while cloaked, or if the cloak timer runs out, it explodes, dealing physical damage in an area.
• When there is a minimum in the squad 1 agent of specialtyDefense, grants a shield to agents when they are hit by a chain of Banbu attacks on a target. The strength of the shield depends on the number of enemies hit.
• Jumps onto an enemy, causing physical damage over a wide area.

Teams

The trigger is a flexible combat unit that can act as a sub-DD, buffer, and stunner. To get a bonus to the effectiveness of stunning, the girl needs allies of the class Attack or with Electro attribute. When composing a squad, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the sniper launches the "stun window" longer, and also does not appear on the field - if the main DD needs to stun the enemy, it is advisable to supplement the team with a classic Intimidation character.

The Sniper from the Obol Squad will look good in packs with the following heroes:

The best squad for Trigger is a combination with Soldier 0, which increases the damage of all aftershocks. In other builds, the sniper acts as an alternative agent of Intimidation, a secondary source of damage, and an applicator of the damage bonus.

Is She Worth Pulling?

Trigger is a fighter who is fully realized only when she is not an active character. The heroine's skills are aimed at helping the agent in the arena with additional damage, stunning and buffs. Their work is ensured by simply hitting the targets with the active character's techniques, so a short sniper skill combo is easily woven into the rotation of any team.

The build is versatile - you can build the trigger with an emphasis on personal damage and stun, or give preference to buffs for the team. It does not depend on investments in cons, but prefers a signature amplifier to alternative weapons.

To sum it up, a sniper should be knocked out in the following cases:

• There are plans to create an aftershock assembly, for example, with Soldier 0 at the head.
• There is a desire to provide the main DD with as many opportunities on the field as possible, but I don’t want to give up the stun.
• I liked the gameplay A-rank Pulchra, but I want to replace the mercenary with a stronger character or create a second squad with a “pocket” sub-DD.
