Trigger

Zenless Zone Zero, Trigger is an S-Rank Electric-type Stun agent who fills a unique role focused on long-range sniping and supporting her squad by inflicting Daze and triggering Aftershock attacks when her allies hit enemies. Her kit revolves around building Purge and unleashing coordinated follow-up shots that disrupt and stagger foes, making her especially valuable in teams that want heavy stun pressure and off-field support.

🧠 Who Trigger Is

• Trigger is a sniper from the Obol Squad of the New Eridu Defense Force. She’s often portrayed as calm and precise, using her vision and electric combat prowess to control the battlefield from afar. ([X (formerly Twitter)][1])

🔫 Her Weapon: Phlegethon

• Trigger’s signature firearm is the Agent Weapon Phlegethon, a military-grade electric sniper rifle custom-built for her by her teammates when she first joined the Defense Force. ([Zenless Zone Zero Wiki][2])
• Lorewise, Phlegethon was originally intended to be her codename, but because it was too long, she was named Trigger instead and the rifle took the name as a symbol of their bond. ([Zenless Zone Zero Wiki][2])

🔧 Weapon Mechanics & Role

• Phlegethon is designed to handle multiple combat scenarios — long-range sniping, rapid firing, and close-quarters engagements — though its strongest application in gameplay emphasizes her electric damage and stunning capability. ([Zenless Zone Zero Wiki][2])

• In gameplay terms, Trigger widely uses a version of this rifle through her Signature W-Engine “Spectral Gaze”. This weapon accessory:

  • Boosts her Critical Rate and increases her Impact (which helps induce Daze).
  • Reduces enemies’ DEF by 25% when she hits them with electric Aftershocks, enhancing team damage potential. ([Game Rant][3])

🎯 Combat Style

• Trigger often fires from a distance in Sniper Stance, building up Purge that lets her unleash follow-up shots when her teammates attack. These follow-up attacks deal electric damage and contribute heavily to her stun role. ([Zenless Zone Zero Wiki][4])
• While she can actively shoot and build Purge, her strength lies in how her weapon enables supportive electric damage and daze buildup rather than purely raw damage output alone. ([X (formerly Twitter)][1])

In short, Trigger is a sniper-type agent armed with the electric rifle Phlegethon, using its long-range shots and electric energy to stun, daze, and support her squad from afar. A nigh-blind sniper and frontline survivor of the old capital's fall, Trigger is a member of Obol Squad, where she uses her array of close-range, sharpshooting and stealth skills obtained from her time at Lyre Squad along with an ability gained from her corrupted eyesight dubbed 'Ether Vision' and heightened senses in hopes of finding the true culprits behind Eridu's fall.

Outside of being a soldier specializing in killing targets from afar, Trigger has a caring side. Her desire to protect those near to her has a notable effect on her psyche, and she also gets along well with children.[1] Also, she likes red bean buns.[2]

Trigger wears a mask with two lights at the bottom two corners that light up depending on her emotions.
