The latest Zenless Zone Zero banner has players sweating bullets over whether to chase Trigger or Zhu Yuan. Both S-Rank Agents bring thunderous power, but they play wildly different roles—and that’s where the real drama kicks in. Imagine: Trigger, the electric stun queen, lurking off-field like a shadow, while Zhu Yuan crashes in with brute-force attacks. It’s like picking between a stealthy ninja and a wrecking ball. But hey, no cap, your account’s needs will make or break this choice. Let’s spill the tea on their vibes, builds, and teams before you burn those hard-earned pulls.

⚡ Trigger: The Off-Field Shockwave

Trigger’s not your typical frontliner—she’s a master of chaos from the sidelines. As an S-Rank Electric Stun Agent, she slings Aftershock damage while ramping up Daze and Stun multipliers. Think of her as that friend who low-key runs the show without lifting a finger. But building her? Oof, it’s a tightrope walk. She demands 160-190 Impact AND a hefty 75-85% CRIT Rate to unlock her full potential. Skimp on crit, and her core passive throws a tantrum.

Her gear game’s no joke either. For W-Engines, these babies top the list:

  • Spectral Gaze (her signature—pure fire)

  • The Unrestrained

  • Blazing Laurel

  • Ice-Jade Teapot

Drive Discs? Shockstar Disco 4-pc is her BFF, paired with Woodpecker Electro 2-pc for that sweet, sweet 8% CRIT Rate boost. Because let’s be real, crit stats on a Stun Agent feel rarer than unicorn tears.

🔥 Zhu Yuan: Your Straightforward DPS Beast

Zhu Yuan’s the definition of ‘no fuss, all smash.’ As an Attack Agent, she’s all about tagging in, nuking enemies, and dipping out—zero drama. Building her’s a cakewalk compared to Trigger. Aim for 2000+ ATK and a cozy 1:2 CRIT ratio (60% Rate / 180% DMG), and she’s golden. Her core passive and Chaotic Metal Drive Discs hand out free crit stats like candy, so even meh gear rolls work.

W-Engine wise, these are her MVPs:

  • Riot Suppressor Mark VI (her signature—utterly broken)

  • The Brimstone

  • Marcato Desire

Slap on Chaotic Metal 4-pc, then mix ‘n’ match 2-pc sets:

More CRIT Rate Woodpecker Electro

🕒 Playstyles: Minimalist vs Mayhem

Trigger’s the introvert of the duo—she hates hogging screen time. Her off-field Aftershocks mean your main DPS (like Soldier 0 Anby) shines brighter. Zhu Yuan? Total opposite. She’s that burst-damage maniac who leaps in when Chain Attacks pop off, then bounces. Simple? Yeah. Boring? Never.

Team-wise, Trigger’s a social butterfly. She slides into squads like:

  • Trigger + Soldier 0 Anby + Caesar (meta overload)

  • Trigger + Nicole + Billy (F2P king)

  • Trigger + Miyabi + Astra Yao (elite speedrun)

Zhu Yuan’s pickier. She’s stuck with Qingyi or Caesar for Stun support, and only vibes with Nicole/Astra Yao. Stray from her clique, and her damage tanks harder than a bad meme.

🤔 Pull for Trigger if...

  • Soldier 0 Anby’s already your ride-or-die 💥

  • Your Stun Agent roster’s emptier than a ghost town (missing Qingyi/Lighter/Lycaon)

  • You crave flexibility—she’s a plug-and-play queen

💥 Pull for Zhu Yuan if...

  • Your Attack Agents are MIA (no Miyabi/Evelyn)

  • Qingyi or Caesar’s on your bench 🛡️

  • You dig mobile, self-sufficient types who don’t need babysitting

So, who’s the winner? Honestly, it’s a vibe check. Trigger’s the meta-defining Stun Agent who elevates teams silently, while Zhu Yuan’s your go-to for uncomplicated carnage. But remember—neither’s a must-pull. If your account’s stacked, maybe skip and save. After all, in Zenless Zone Zero’s 2025 scene, patience pays. Now go make that pull count!
