Discuss tips, guides, and questions for Super Saiyan Trunks (Teen) here.

[spice rivet]

He’s the drink enough said

[drowsy raptor]

Fax

[spare stirrup]

is there like any tips or is it just zeno saying some corny line about the whole cast

[carmine violet]

Youll have to wait a bit before people play the characters enough

[wide radish]

Pretty good character i'd say

[wide radish]

Alright so heres some #tips

Trunk's main weapon of big burst damage is his Skill 1

The lower the opponent's health is, the more damage it deals

At max level, it's pretty it covers a lot of vertical distance so it's good for poking enemies from a distance

His Skill 2 makes you lunge at an opponent

It's very good at catching people off-guard and putting their health in range to get one shotted by his skill 1

His Skill 3 shoots a blast

It's good at attacking opponents from a long distance without getting pummelled

it also messes with the opponent's vision with smoke too

it does pretty good burst damage

I'd say like a good combo would be Skill 3 to Skill 2 to Skill 1

You do quick burst damage with Skill 3, and then you get infront of the opponent and then you use your skill 1 to deal a lot of damage at once

Trunks's main problem is that like, you can't just rush in and deal damage, you gotta wait until there's an opportunity to deal big damage.

But then after you find that opportunity it's very easy to get going because Trunks's passive allows you to use a skill instantly after you get an kill or an assist

[zinc stratus]

whats the level path for trunks

[wide radish]

I run Super Snowball, Prepare to Die, and Backstab for Trunks

[zinc stratus]

but what order do you recommend lvling skills

[wide radish]

I just do the usual skill 1 -> skill 2 -> skill 3

You wanna max Skill 1 first tho

[zinc stratus]

Alright for a bit a survivability since Trunks has some of the lowest defense in the game i use Build up for card 1, Giant Slayer as high health enemies are the only ones he can struggle with, and the third card that gives two vanish steps which helps with overall mobility

[wide radish]

ehhh

heres the thing

Usually you're not gonna want to be getting in long fights as Trunks

you wanna end things quick

which is why I use Super Snowball, Prepare to Die and Backstab

[zinc stratus]

Yeah but end game his damage ends up collateral on a lot of people, and i wanted something different than snowball as i get caught a lot with him and it resets

[wide radish]

I usually don't get caught if I don't play too risky\

[zinc stratus]

Cant help it when your forced to play bottom lane at times

And cant allow the tank to die when they play too reckless

Super Snowball unless your playing perfect and not dying isnt preferrable for me as Trunks already has the best burst damage in the game

[halcyon junco]

I use lightning step and prepare to die and then that one Goku card that gives you an extra step which is just simply broken

[proper estuary]

yo someone have already a divine card setup in mind

[fathom pumice]

I was wondering trunks role is he more of an assasin or jungler im tryna main him on release since hes my fav char

[tight frigate]

Its like midlaner i think, assassin like Zed. He can burst a lot in a few attacks but then he need to stay away from the fight a bit

[low pumice]

they should add an emote where trunks has a drink as a reference

[violet swallow]

if they actually add emotes that reference memes (like marvel rivals) the game will pop off

[brittle cairn]

Patch 1.1.0 Details:
Stats: (Buff)

• added Base HP during the endgame of the match
• +10% All Attack Up upon transformation (120% to 130%)

[gray prairie]

Looking for allies I main baby player code YMjDBiJ9nypFmUe9

[dire spire]

This dude is so fun to use bro he is so goated

[fathom pumice]

Frrrrrrrr

[brittle sierra]

What cards and what skills to prioritize? I wanna try him

[dire spire]

Prioritise his skill 1 and use the cards super snowball prepare to die and backstab

[fathom pumice]

Could i use steel skin instead of prepare to die to get snowball more consistently since ill live longer?

[dire spire]

Yea sure
its really preference if you want more attack or defence

[fathom pumice]

I see so if i want to go full glass cannon or focus more on snowballing over time right?

[dire spire]

Yea

[fathom pumice]

Cool

[fiery lodge]

i think steel skin is worth it 100% of the time

you already deal insane damage and % missing health damage to execute people when theyre low with your right click

so the extra defence is nice to survive and chasedown

[fathom pumice]

That was my idea

[proper estuary]

I also prefer the extra vanish instead of backstab

[fiery lodge]

this^^^

lightning or snowball for card 1

then steel skin and jump for 2 and 3

[young meteor]

which helper do you guys use

[strong nova]

Is trunks’s third skill useful at all or should I just always max his first two skills and ult first?

[fathom pumice]

Personally world king or nail

[carmine fog]

Personally, i max the others skill first then i max the third one. Since in my experience the lvl 1 burning attack is pretty useful in it’s purpose (Initiating the combo, helping allies to escape, ward off enemies, etc) even during later parts of game.

[worn rapids]

guys i figured out if u go to information u can get 5000 goku mini shards for a limited time

[jade frigate]

S rank trunks only here 👋

[modest lagoon]

I think I'm in love. I don't think I've won so many matches in this short amount of time.

[vital sphinx]

after trying out trunks with the trial, i kinda regret going for 17 first

i went with him since i had a lot more dps units but man is he fun

and he;'s my favourite character too, deffo getting his tank top skin with caulifla's fasha armor

[robust dune]

Kinda same

He was my main in beta so i wanted to try smth new

I mean i don't regret getting 17 ofc he's good don't get me wrong

But I'd rather if i picked Trunks first he's so fun

[vital sphinx]

yea my only issue with 17, which i have for any character, is the teammates i get sometimes

other than that, he's amazing with his suppoet and dps

but yea trunks looks insane, and his tank top fit is my favourite one in the anime

[robust dune]

Yea he ain't built for soloQ

[vital sphinx]

doesn't help that i don't know anybody else that enjoys this game 😭

[robust dune]

My friend picked it up recently & I'm having a better time ngl

But apparently we r better with Trunks/Zamasu than 17/Dabura

[quiet wolf]

Can we about howncracked trunks is

I just got a 5 mvps in SoloQ

[vital sphinx]

BRO his s2 and ult combo is insane

it's literallty what he did to frieza

[quiet wolf]

Early game i did die a good amount but once I got ssj and Snowball stacks I just shreds

Got some of the easiest teammates with this man

[vital sphinx]

he's oppressive asl

great transition from playing caulifla most of the time

[quiet wolf]

I mostly play Tanks

I been try to find someone super aggro as a tank and so far Zamazu fits what i was looking for

[vital sphinx]

same for me but i've played too much caulifla

she';s my favourite rn but i'm also regretting not getting cooler as well

he loks insane

[quiet wolf]

Fr

I ended up getting trunks early cause I got all 3 of his legendaries in some gold capsules

[vital sphinx]

niiiice

i'm looking to get him, both him and caulifla's skins

and maybe do a few multis

[ocean trench]

Guys i dont understand Trunks skill 2, does it make the ult come out faster or what?

[vital sphinx]

it;s meant to be comboed with the ult to help reduce the cooldown of the s2 to be used again

but it feels like the ult does come out quicker ngl

[ocean trench]

I thought it was that too but i tried in training and It doesnt reduce cd of skill 2 and neither speed up the ultimate from what i can see

[vital sphinx]

that's odd

it did for me, unless it;s from ko

did u try it on vegeta oron that block

[frail flower]

ult comes out faster after s2 but its not by much

[pale lava]

kicking myself rn for not picking up trunks. he's so fun.

[heady vale]

I definitely wanna unlock him

Need more levels ups lol

Do y’all just run 3 attack cards on him for maximum burst damage

[quiet wolf]

Snowball, prepare to die, and wicked warrior or pursuer

Early game trunks is a bit on the weaker end for me but once you get to lvl 5 and burst thrust starts doing insane damage then you just start melting

He could die pretty much but you can end up killing anything else much quicker

Especially late game cause then it's just kill with a skill cooldown resets then just do it again and again

[vital sphinx]

same

like 17 is not bad but man trunks is so fun

[thick harness]

we runnin nail right

what cards

[heady vale]

@thick harness These ones

And yeah run nail

He just helps you burst down enemies even faster

[modest lagoon]

I find, at least i've had most success with Trunks if I don't brawl. I'll jump in, use my poke, burst, vanish out, use burning attack if they start to run or I jump back in and I've been dying much less

[heady vale]

Finally got trunks

Any tips on using him? Feels like his role is to jump at someone and blast them with smoke screen, dash to them with skill 2, then blast them with skill 1 and rush til they die

Burst damage is wild

[modest lagoon]

Basically, yeah, if you can't kill them in his best I probably wouldn't recommend staying to fight. Almost playing him similar to Hit, I guess?

I also kinda like trying to rush to his level 3 ult as soon as possible. His level 3 skill 2 and ult seems deadly

[heady vale]

Those two moves seem like his highest burst damage moves too

And I heard he’s kinda weak early game but when he gets his upgrades and cards he becomes a burst damage beast

Could always do enough damage for a teammate to get the kill at least if I can’t

[heady vale]

Is his skill 1 just for finishing off low health targets who are running away? Doesn’t seem useful for up close burst attacking

[modest lagoon]

Probably to finish off yeah, if they start to run, although burning attack might be better for that?

[quiet wolf]

Or his skill 2

I love his skill 2 it's such a Jump scare move

[modest lagoon]

I usually initiate with his skill 2 so it's usually on CD for me, I still don't know what's the better skill to initiate with

[quiet wolf]

Skill 2 then skills 1 or Ult

Burning attack for thay extra damage or if they try to run

[modest lagoon]

Yeah that's what I usually do

[quiet wolf]

If they stay to fight just start tossing basics

I never really end up max leveling burning attack tho always ends up being last

And by the time I do get to max it out the match be over

[modest lagoon]

If they stay to fight and I'm solo, I usually play like Hit and try to run and create distance while throwing basics so I can skill 2 again

[quiet wolf]

That's a smart strategy I just got in guns blazing

I don't really like to go crazy with trunks until lvl 5 then once I hit 7 and have some stacks on snowball or have prepare to die as well I'll start shedding nappa or help top with 16

[thick harness]

whats the usual combos

for me its

S3
S2
Rush
S1

[modest lagoon]

I do S2 => S1 => burst => S3 if they run.

[thick harness]

u dont use s1 for finishes

[modest lagoon]

Isn't S1 the poke? I find S3 is better if they run, it's got a little wider range than S1.

[thick harness]

s1 is the poke that does hella damage the lower hp they are

i always use s1 for execute and 3 to poke cus 3 does so little damage

tbh i find 3 to be so useless at times

the smoke does NOTHING

at best its to def a tower

[modest lagoon]

I guess I'll start using S1 if they run then

[thick harness]

yeah i like using it as a finisher cus of the passive on it

have u ever found any use with the smoke on s3

its

bad..

[quiet wolf]

I never found the smoke to do anything nice

[thick harness]

tbh the only use its had is aura

[quiet wolf]

Unless it messes with the enemy's vision

[thick harness]

i love the burning attack

[quiet wolf]

Same

[thick harness]

it does not afaik

[quiet wolf]

S2 is my favorite skill

If i don't use burning to catch someone S2 does the job for me

[thick harness]

i really only use burning for aura for def

to interrupt a burst

[heady vale]

I got hit by the smoke screen in a match and it does blind you as long as you are in it

So I assume the plan is engage with smoke screen, get in with S2, and use either rush, ult, or S1 to finish them off

S1 seems good for finishing off low health people running away since it does more damage on low health targets and Trunks can get people to low health very fast

[quiet wolf]

Yup

[cyan birch]

Which helper you use for Trunks ?

[modest lagoon]

Mayor. Pure damage

[cyan birch]

Got it, thanks

[heady vale]

Thought nail was a good option but feels like boosting the damage of his skills is more important actually

[modest lagoon]

Yup, I started off with Neil, too. But, Trunks REALLY wants to kill in as little time as possible

[heady vale]

So basically just press the helper button after smoke screen to boost skill 2 and ult even more?

Not sure where to place the helper button in the burst skill combo plan

[vivid rivet]

Hoping Trunks gets his "Change the Future" animation as a Finisher

[modest lagoon]

I thought it only boosted his basics?

[thick harness]

thats so fire

[fiery lodge]

he sits there for ages you can just drop it as soon as you engage

smoke it > dash attack in > drop helper > rush attack > wait and use as mayny cooldowns as possible > execute them with stab attack

[heady vale]

Yeah the helper does stay there for a long while

I was surprised. It’s like way longer than the actual fight in the zone would take

[fiery lodge]

yeah exactly

they could probably reduce it to create some sort of skill gap

but its fine i forget to use it half the time anyway

dont really need it

[heady vale]

Yeah I don’t think the helpers do anything absurdly game changing tbh

I forget to use them too lol

[fiery lodge]

theyre dead before i need them lmaooo

only on tank do i use cabba just to make sure i can actually finish the 1v2 successfully

[quiet wolf]

I just did something insane

Late game with trunks my team ended up team wiping then when for the God

The whole enemy team pushed bottom and I 1 v 4

Team wiping them again by myself 😭

[heady vale]

Truly the burst damage of all time

Can’t lose a 1v4 if you hit them all with a 4 second kill combo

[quiet wolf]

Exactly

Truly a "THIS IS FOR GOHAN" moment

[heady vale]

Even better if android 17 and 18 were on the enemy team

[quiet wolf]

What if I told.you those was the first 2 people I killed 😭

It's was 17,18, baby, and Goku

[heady vale]

LMAO

** “I did it! The future is saved!”**

[dire spire]

I take back what i said this dude is buns

[heady vale]

Bro didn’t burst damage hard enough

He’s weak at early game tho

Don’t be afraid to just run if you don’t think you can kill the enemy yet

[thick harness]

i keep noticing my kills reset without any kills or assists

whats triggering that

[dense blade]

Hey I was wondering what would be a good general divine cards build for trunks ?

[modest lagoon]

steel skin, super snowball, and giant slayer

[dense blade]

Wait, you can't put steel skin and giant slayer together

[quiet wolf]

Super snowball, giant or prepare to die and Wicked Warrior

Giant helps with tank and prepare to die makes sure you get a kill especially with S 1

Wicked Warrior makes your already mid range rush damage even better

I don't do any defense cause trunks is made like a Jungler

High damage but no means for defense

[dense blade]

I'll try that, thank you

[modest lagoon]

can't you? Then just ignore me because I don't even remember what I had been using

[dense blade]

It's ok don't worry

[fiery lodge]

Lightning or Snowball if you know youre goated, steel skin, and the extra vanish one

[fiery lodge]

yes but steel skin can keep you alive for just enough to reset your cooldowns to kill

id argue its a non negotiable

[dense blade]

the thing is with lightning step is that it only increase the damage of energy attacks and trunks only has 2 moves like that (burning attack and the 2nd part of his ultimate)

[fiery lodge]

yeah so when someone gets just out of range on low hp you can vanish and burning attack them at range

[dense blade]

I prefer using vanish strike to catch someone running away since it comes out faster

I believe so anyway

I could be wrong tho

[fiery lodge]

yeah but it purely depends if you have it off cooldown

[dense blade]

or sometimes if I want to run away because I'm low health and I keep the ability with his overcharge passive on top off it, I use it 2 times in a row to travel a long distance really quick

[lyric vector]

How did you chain skills with trunks again

[vivid rivet]

Use a skill, kill a guy, you can use a skill on cooldown again

[oblique axle]

What skills should I start with and what’s the priority for upgrades

What’s the divine cards build for It too

[fiery lodge]

1 2 and ult are priority imo

burning attack should be the last that you max out

and id even argue maxxing your 2 before putting the 2nd point in ult is also better

[thick harness]

1 >> ult > 2 > 3 is the priority

[fiery lodge]

i dont agree with ult over 2 tbh

once you have everything levelled at least once

maxing 2 is so much more worth with how often youll get to use it compared to ult

[topaz elbow]

So you actually have to kill with a special to use it again during cooldown?

[thick harness]

I see get argument but the thing is u rarely get to upgrade the ult too

I find it more important to get ult to lvl 2 before the 2nd skill

Cus u can get a quick snipe by doing

S2 > Ult > S1

By the end of the kill u can prolly level up and get ur s2 leveled up too lmao

[vivid rivet]

Okay my mistake

So imagine you kill someone with Skill One

(even an assist counts if I'm correct)

You can use Skill One again while it's on a Cooldown

But if u use something like S3 after u killed with a S1

You can use S3 again

[topaz elbow]

So killing with regular attack won't let you use specials on cooldown

[vivid rivet]

u can kill with regulars

so in better wording: Get a kill, be able to use a skill on cooldown again

[topaz elbow]

Nice

[cunning narwhal]

what do u guys like to do early game? im struggling on fidning something consistent. like id if i should play with the tank or techs most of the time i usually like to play with cell if there is one one the team tho.

[thick harness]

go top every start of the game

tanks r too well tanky

u will have a hard time trying to get kills and creeps

[young meteor]

Something I was wondering but didn’t notice during the games, does his passive stack more cd resets or just one at a time

[urban tartan]

Learning trunks while he's still a trial character how does one get good?

[topaz elbow]

what do you guys level up?

[vital sphinx]

I normally do s1

But after watching doto’s vid, I go with his s2

[thick harness]

i do notice at times it resets even without kills so most likely u got an assist

[raven venture]

Way too squishy and way too much needed buildup to survive out there

[thick harness]

the damage and kill potential easily makes up for that

just play smart

trunks is literally the genji/yasuo of the game

[raven venture]

I feel like he’s better when you actually have a team instead of fill, that way he can focus on attacking instead of defending

[thick harness]

abosloutely yeah

but he can carry games

which i do like for solo queue

[raven venture]

Yea but it just brings me to the issue where I’ll be really low level and my teammate rushes so I’m stuck defending

[thick harness]

i like to use that downtime to farm the creeps

i just roam or rotate

[vital sphinx]

Trunks in this game is a straight demon bro, the way he can assassinate characters is just insane

Insane burst damage and quickly going in for the kills

[cunning narwhal]

Idk what it is but he feels so much squisher than everyone else I know he's not an initiater or anything but I feel like a hp buff or sum could help

[vital sphinx]

i think that's the payoff for his insane damage

he can snipe and take away precious exp from the enemy but he gets shredded easily

[cunning narwhal]

I agree but I also think there's other characters that also can do that

[broken shadow]

I think post transformation his health compromises for the damage he gets late game. But the health he has pre transformation is the problem

He has thee highest burst damage in the game btw according to the stats given to us in character details as well as from personal experience

[visual osprey]

solid build that got me to A with trunks is lighting+ barrier+ backstab/brave warrior barrier is too goated its like immortal shield bow from league you neglect all attacks for 10 sec so when you jump to ult no one cane interrupt you for those 10 sec so free kills alos it coutner hit blind he cant blind shield will ock it

[broken shadow]

I use lightning+barrier+the one with 2 vanishes

[visual osprey]

Yea man its too good

[broken shadow]

You obviously can't use snowball until you are overleveled

and the synergy between lightning and the 2 vanishes is just too good

[vital sphinx]

oh yea absolutely, goku and kale are still monsters but i just wish i dind't miss out on him man

[thick harness]

has ssj3 goku shifted trunks in anyway shape or form

has this affected his legacy

[jade frigate]

apart from getting melted by the super kamehameha no

[visual osprey]

Good trunks stomp ssj3 easily

[vital sphinx]

Yea I’ve been able to squish my far share of ssj3 as trunks

Especially with his s1

It’s such a snipe move

[frigid smelt]

HES A TEEN?

...wait how old is future trunks

oh damn he is 17 when he first arrives to the present

color me shocked

[whole ember]

whats the rank order off trunks

sword then jump?

[thick harness]

for me its
S1 > ULT > S2 > S3

around level like 7-8 ur s1 and s2 should be level 3 and ult around max

[cedar viper]

You can really steamroll with him

[crystal kelp]

what is skills do you level in order

[brave thunder]

i feel like he is so strong when i play as him but when he is on my team he is very afraid to engage for some reason. Does anyone have opinions on the best laner to pair with him?

[cunning narwhal]

Gohan

Gohan is a great set up character for trunks if Gohan knows to max his stun skill first

[warped python]

loving trunks rn, snowball + prepare to die + backstab is amazing

[fringe pulsar]

Looking to try Trunks, what should I know going in? Any card recommendations?

[fossil topaz]

I Don’t play him, but my friend plays him. Something like snowball, prepare to die and limit breaking jump would probably be good. You just have to play him really aggressive, otherwise you’ll be useless in the endgame.

But I don’t any tips or anything for his playstyle

[brave thunder]

he's always my lane partner when i am tank, i never see him go top

[cunning narwhal]

Top is better for trunks because he can farm faster due to the creeps having lower hp then bottom lane

I'm not saying he can't go bottom but top is more optimal

So if u always see trunks going bottom he prolly selling

[brave thunder]

selling? I guess that's my prob then because yeah he's easy to support with any support but with a tank i feel like he watches me die from the back and doesnt dive in

maybe his early levels are too risky to dive botlane

[cunning narwhal]

Depending on your rank in my opinion it's best for trunk to to box until at at least level 5 he's to squishy to be tryna kill people without his ult especially if your going against a strong character like goku or kale

[fair rune]

So with Trunks would it be better to go S1 > S2 > S3 or S2 > S1 > S3 for leveling skills?

I assume the S1 would be better but I'd think there'd be an argument for getting damage upped on S2 first to make your S1 more effective since you'll chunk them more on the initial attack.

[final valley]

ive noticed this too and i think it is god of destruction ki or assist

[proper estuary]

I think is still better S1 cause you get range

[blazing nexus]

Trunks really looks like nerfed version of Goku isnt it?

[thick harness]

uhh no

different playstyle

[fringe pulsar]

No not a nerfed version, just different

[cunning narwhal]

No I definitely agree trunks is literally just goku without kaioken which I personally don't have an issue with

I personally think trunks is a character u actually need to have decent game sense on compared to goku or other characters because of how squishy u are early game

[fathom shoal]

Trunks is such a cool character but your lane partner really needs to understand that his early game isn't the best

Either they play sum that can almost solo lane like cooler or gohan or you just need to be a bit more passive early

People don't get that and legit always bumrush

No matter the

Matchup

And then get surprised when they just get killed smh

[plucky owl]

Well goku has 3 second cooldowns and does roughly just under twice the damage of trunks with his abilities mind you trunks has two 13 second cooldowns and one 9. Trunks is one of the worst dps on paper and loses most matchups.

He is def weaker goku

[cunning narwhal]

I absolutely agree with u

It's pure bias on the devs side with who they decide to make cracked but with what they have shown me so far every single goku they release in the future will almost certainly be meta relevant imo

[plucky owl]

They got to be trying to keep it somewhat lore accurate lol sad to say your right trunks will never get any love

[cunning narwhal]

I think they will buff him up some more but he will never be on ssj gokus level and that's just based on how they decided to design them

All I personally want is for them to just make him less squishy early game

No other character has felt weaker to me early game to me other than like bojack

[plucky owl]

Yep those 13 second cooldowns are pretty wild I hope they buff. One of my fav char I still use him in quick match just to have fun

[cunning narwhal]

I don't think there gonna touch the cds

Something is just telling me they won't

[plucky owl]

his whole damage output is pretty bad his ult is decent not best in slot but its okay

[cunning narwhal]

His damage is good it just takes a while to notice

[plucky owl]

enemy needs to be 30% health to activate the skill 1 boost

[blazing nexus]

Meanwhile Buu found dead in the valley

🕊️

[plucky owl]

its half of ss1 goku

in terms of dmage output

[cunning narwhal]

Yeah but when u start comparing everyone to the best character in the game it makes it look a lot worse than what it is

[blazing nexus]

SSJ Goku is just an exception like Cooler

[cunning narwhal]

Like trunks in comparison to other characters damage I think is pretty solid

[blazing nexus]

You can be any role but there will be one guy standing out claiming awards and popularity

And then theres Trunks

[cunning narwhal]

It ain't busted and it's not bad either

[plucky owl]

picco doing some damage now lol

[cunning narwhal]

I do think that his buff was unnecessary

[plucky owl]

Id say trunks is amng the bottom 3

[blazing nexus]

Piccolo can one shot full hp Kale with lvl 1 light grenade at max reach

[plucky owl]

kale can almost 2 shot picco ome shotting

gamma might be on trunks level

[blazing nexus]

My jaw just dropped when my friend made that kill

It felt illegal

[plucky owl]

18 can get pretty crazy

[blazing nexus]

People need to learn to wait out for her S3 approaching

Honestly

Once the combo is gone her damage becomes abyssmal for like 10 seconds

And if she gets jumped she will be forced to ult

[zenith tendon]

what skills do i level up first for trunks?

[cyan wing]

I dont think its that deep on who is good or not lol

I think its just a coincidence

[plucky owl]

Well I'm sure this game was produced by professionals who 100% have planned their own meta.

Im 100% sure they planned for a goku meta which is fine we all love goku plus they got to sell the new goku just saying trunks needs love

[cyan wing]

I don't think they made any of the characters expecting one of them to be the best atleast is what I think

[blazing nexus]

We still have SOH Trunks coming up somewhere

[plucky owl]

I like Z trunks over super Trunks but Ill take it lol

[proud stone]

Best level up order for trunks?

[radiant vigil]

1 2 then 3

[proud stone]

What about my ult

[radiant vigil]

always level it when you can, It's ur greatest ability for teamwiping

[proud stone]

Also, is there a reason why my moves sometimes redirect themselves and cause me to miss?

[radiant vigil]

Like throwing you into the enemy?

[blazing nexus]

Why not max jump, 2 I mean

[proud stone]

Well, no

Like my stab (S1) will be aimed at the enemy but it'll redirect and just hit nothing instead

[radiant vigil]

I max jump on super start and put 2 points into his 1 for normal games I'd like to have his 1 maxed first for potential secure on objectives

[radiant vigil]

weird

I'd turn off any autoaim setting if its on

[proud stone]

Im on mobile so I'm kinda dependent on it

[radiant vigil]

ah

Do you have quick cast on or off?

[proud stone]

Wdym

[radiant vigil]

Like when you use an ability or press the button for one. Does it activate the ability instantly or do you have the option to manually aim it for throwing it out

Like for burning attack you'd see the circle where it'd hit

before throwing it out and you can hold it

[proud stone]

I can hold it if I feel like it

[radiant vigil]

alr

Only 2 options could be is 1 your abilities are being redirected by a caulifia on the enemy team

or 2 ur autoaim settings are messing with that

[proud stone]

Hm, I'm not sure

I'm missing like 3 characters though, and that's pissing me off because I need like 49 more levels just to get Cell

[odd island]

playstyle for trunks, also skill priority order?

[crystal kelp]

imo max 1 and 2, dont put any in 3

and hold point at level 7 to max 1 and 2 @ 8

[cyan wing]

yea I agree

either that or get the super to level 2

I would definitely get S2 to max tho

[proud stone]

nice pfp

[odd island]

Golden time 🙂

[proud stone]

What's your quote from?

[odd island]

Golden time lol

Koko quote

[proud stone]

The one in your status too?

[odd island]

Indeed

[proud stone]

I'll have to watch it eventually

[odd island]

Sweet

[vital sphinx]

would y'all say trunks is better at top or bot

[cyan wing]

IMO top

easier to kill chain with the lower HP totals

[urban tartan]

Agreed getting that first thing of overcharge make things so much easier so top lane is the best for trunks to easily get more overcharge chain kills

[cyan wing]

Trunks also doesnt have the damage or sustainability to easily fight the tanks at the first kai

[vital sphinx]

yea i think the same too

late response so my bad, but i've had way more success at the top than at the bottom

[thick harness]

top every time

too squishy early game

cannot deal with tanks

[vital sphinx]

Mhm

And I’m a caulifla main

So if I’m what it’s like to bully squishes with provoke

Why would I want to be in that same scenario as trunks 😭

[cyan wing]

I was actually tilted for a momemnt when I picked Dabura but the Trunks on my team wanted to go bottom

was actually the worst lane mismatch ever

[vital sphinx]

yea i don't get that

why take dabura over to top

not tos ay he can;t cook but like he way not to use him where he'd perform best

[crystal kelp]

which lane doesn't matter, he will struggle the same early that's part of his identity. you always just gotta play super scared get 2 points in skill 1 before any other skill (your trolling if you don't do this, level 1 is not reliable enough) and outplay to steal the first kai while not getting caught knowing the enemy will focus you

but if you do get 1st kai its relatively easy from there to snowball into a big game

maybe the easiest hero in the game to snowball with after getting first 2 kais

just use camera to keep track of whos close to half health in teamfights and jump in secure -> repeat

[rigid jacinth]

But which card I use for him?

[fringe pulsar]

I personally go snowball, Giant slayer, and limit breaking jump

[runic dune]

Can someone tell me how to redirect trunks ultimate while playing on the switch

[proud night]

i find myself leaving people with teeny tiny bits of health when using burst sword

all the time

am i just gonna have to be a bit more patient

or am i missing something

knowing what the extra damage percentage is would help too

oh

ive been bottom laning as trunks this whole time

thatm ight do it

granted im usually playing with a tank friend

[cyan wing]

about 30%

once the enemy is below 30% Burst Sword does 50% extra damage

[final valley]

caulifa mains should not be aloud in trunks chat xD that unit single handedly takes trunks out of game at any stage of game xD

[vital sphinx]

😭 😭 😭

That’s why i selfishly don’t go bottom lane as trunks

[final valley]

i dont have to much of an issue bot lane as trunks as long as tank knows only og in on dps lol

but top is def easier and a req if caulifla bot xD

climbed to 2400 on him so far mostly solo/duo and my duo never in same lane xD trunks is high risk mid to high reward fun unit

ss3 gokus dont stand a chance

[cyan wing]

didnt we discuss trunks is probably better on top

[vital sphinx]

yea we did, but that's also a personal reason as to why

funny part about being a caulifla main, is that you wouldn't want to experience what it's like to fight against yourself

[cyan wing]

like it's also probably way harder to get the 30% HP for S1 too on a Tank

since they heal

[vital sphinx]

precisely right

vegeta is an even worse cause since she's just healing non stop

[urban tartan]

Kinda wish it was 40% HP or at least 35%
30% HP is when a slight breeze will kill any enemy

[bitter bobcat]

How do you play this damn character

[urban tartan]

Your an assassin/kill rat
Mid-late game you jump in fights where is the enemy is low and cut them into ribbons then get out

[final valley]

is it me or do all the new chars and every buff they do make trunks less and less easy to play xD

[analog edge]

As a trunks main with him grade 9 and 562 kills 156 wins and 704 assists I would say he cooks

[mild granite]

What's the biggest learning curve with him? Cooldown management?

[analog edge]

For me personally it was learning how you use his skills in unison in 1v1 to put out the most damage

[mild granite]

S3 to blind and hide, S2 to dash in and S1 to finish the job?

[analog edge]

I was doing skill 1 then 3 then 2
Then I went to 3 1 2

[mild granite]

Is 1 the sword or is it 2?

[jade dust]

1 is burst sword, 2 is vanish strike

[analog edge]

Ya that

[plucky owl]

he loses all matchups straight out even to some tech characters. You should be sniping and killing bosses w trunks. Cooldowns 13 seconds so sitting on rush attacks w very squishy hp means just run after you exhaust your skills or you will get easily killed. You can finally win some fights w 4 snowball stacks though no surprise there. His best skill is none just dont play him in ranked he was already bottom tier and after the recentt buffs to other characters he may be worst in slot.

[mild granite]

Got it. Kinda sad, he’s my favourite DB character.

[plucky owl]

Same bro super sad I bought his outfit and everything hes fun in quick match

[final valley]

how u get his shards man im stuck at 6 with more of all of that xD

[final valley]

he isnt as bad as all that

[analog edge]

You gotta play him a lot and pray you get his shards

[final valley]

he is all about timing he makes sure 3ku cant play , id put him b tier

[analog edge]

A tear when it’s late game

[final valley]

for surre i only put b because he literally is useles till 7 other than stealing kais and bosses unless enemies mistep

7 he spikes

11 he carries

[analog edge]

Yer

[mild granite]

Yeah that’s the think with hit-and-run characters

I’m just bad with them. I kinda regret choosing to unlock him and Hit to a certain degree

[final valley]

im at 1,455 kills 167 mvp 786 assists rn he is my only dps i play used to play uub refuse t play 3ku lol

[final valley]

i regret hit aswell, i like him but his playstyle so ratty xD

also another major factor of trunks is teams not expecting u to dive in first thats also an rng check xD

[proud stone]

soo whats trunks lvl up order?

and when do I put points into ult

[analog edge]

Ult is immediately and it’s however you want as your play style I do 1-2-3 as a combo and it works well for me

[analog edge]

The 167 would be wins not mvp I thought that’s what it was till I got more wins the mvps with trunks

[proud stone]

is there like a go to combo when you run into someone?

[final valley]

honestly thats what it was originally and someone told me it was mvp now i look troll loool

[analog edge]

Skill 3
Skill1
Skill2
Then if that don’t kill dash in and use the ult BUT if low enough health just rush attack

[analog edge]

You can tell by the badge it has its the games won badge not mvp badge unless they changed it bc I got 103 mvps but 167 wins and it shows me 167 on the figure 😭

[final valley]

i almost never use skill 3 as an intro , wind up to longand can usuall burts skill 2 and 1 when time is right

but im sure there is multiple ways to play , biggest thing is getting confy with the reps

my skill 3 is always last to max

i max skill 1 for boss and skirmishes to get snowballs rolling pre 7 then max 2 ult then 3

@proud stone biggest thing is matching it to ur playstyle, fool around with order till u can safely judge when u can go in and burst down , u almost never win trades so look for kill angles and rushing to 7

[analog edge]

It blinds thes so that’s why I lead off with it but i haven’t played in a hot minute if I got time tn I got 1-2 other people in my corner who would love a 4th you down to role with us

[final valley]

hit me up ill see if im available

[analog edge]

Will do

[civic jay]

what cards are good for trunks?

[plucky owl]

You dont HAVE to try to snipe kais and steal xp with the other characters so people dont unless your in SS rank matches those guys are just good at the game period and thats why they play that way. Go figure if you play Trunks like you play at a higher level you can do something.... just hope the other team dont play that way cause they picked a better character.

[analog edge]

Snowball
Giant slayer
Double vanash

[final valley]

i mean thats every character went against pika bob and zoro 4 stack and got the w mvp with trunks and id say they know how to play very well xD trunks just has a tad bit more of a learning curve

[final valley]

if 3ku in game i opt for barrier and back stab , there is literally so many ways to play this champ

[analog edge]

True

[plucky owl]

idk what you mean by that just read everything i wrote i dont think you did bro or something just isnt clocking. You have to steal xp and gap with trunks because he cant win fights against people his level. People in SS already play that way. You have to play at a very high level to be good with trunks is what im saying

But you shouldnt have to. He should be able to win fights straight out the box like every single other dps character.

[analog edge]

https://tenor.com/view/wesker-albert-albert-wesker-resident-evil-resident-evil-4-gif-5143688443782660001

[plucky owl]

I wasnt replying to you and you should be running barrier on every character also backstab on dps is better

[analog edge]

I run what I want not what others say I should I give an option of what cards to use nobody gotta listen just like nobody gotta listen to what you say we all do what makes us happy

[plucky owl]

Right i never said you have to and I know your not reading or listening you have already made that abundantly clear.

[final valley]

oh i took it as u cant play it vs high lv players my bad ^.^

[plucky owl]

Trunks needs a buff thats it thats all. Compared to other dps he falls short idk what ppl are trying to argue are ppl saying he doesnt need a buff or something idk he very obviously is worst in slot dps. Having to steal xp and kai to outlevel to actually put up a fight is wild. You avoid conflict and steal xp to outlevel people cause you cant win any matchups straight out.

[final valley]

i i agree he needs a buff, like maybe an hp buff and like 2 or 3 seconds off od coold down on skill 1 and 2 , there may be hope since they overhauled the gammas so hard haha, but he is still more useful than bojack xD

[plucky owl]

Hp buff to start no doubt but his fundamentals are wacked out. I mean change the boost from his skill 1 to activate from 30% hp to 50 or 75% hp so you actually get something from the boost. The damage boost is only a 50% increase the skill already doesnt do much damage anyways.

You can tell they made all his cooldowns long because of his passive. They just kept nerfing him. He was good in the network test. Their playtesters are horrible look how cracked gamma is everyones OP which is fun but Trunks in a weird spot.

[molten nimbus]

not joining teamfight as trunk is so bad

not using my kit to good use

[molten nimbus]

i keep being the worst rat trunk you ever see

always s2 into boss and steal ult twice

[quiet wolf]

Who yall think is better in the snowball department

Trunks or android 18?

I main trunks for dps but I wanna spark a nice little debate

[urban tartan]

I don't own 18 but I say trunks
Using experience when i fought good 18's she is better at bursting down a single person from full HP
But trunks can potentially burst down half or even the whole enemy team if he hops into the fight while they're at mid-low HP

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-ball-z-future-trunks-frieza-blast-gif-12179320

[honest reef]

I suck with trunks, times I’m fire and it’s only mid/late game. I have to stay back and farm and really use Burning attack

How do I get better man, the dudes cooldowns for skills are too long, and he’s too frail

I like to go either with a ranged fighter or bottom route (tec too fast and they get me) like I just suck or I do what he wants and just clean up everyone’s damage and get kills

[honest reef]

I agree this too lol, I have to farm exp while everyone fights just so I can get ahead and do something cause being a close range fighter ain’t it, especially with SS3 being a mile away. Too little hp and terrible defense

Now I’m using S2 and S3 to start fights and be away, switch with my ally once he has little hp and that kinda works for some sustain

Burning attack needs to do more than just smoke man

[warm jasper]

Doesn’t help it takes 9 years to cast

[molten nimbus]

Trunk...so as

[honest reef]

He’s so cool tho but he just needs more hp and to shorten his cool downs naturally by a few seconds at least man, hopefully they buff him

And BA to idk, make them slower, or have a burn effect that does mini damage over time idk

[final valley]

18

18 does what trunks does but faster and more survival , and alot faster its a pain to admit it

[final valley]

it does enough it just needs waaaay faster cast time lol

[urban tartan]

Everyone is trunks!
#✨game-moments message

[molten nimbus]

He should at least be able to hop in time machine

[urban tartan]

That should be his legendary intro or MVP animation

[rare shore]

So I just got Trunks, am running Snowball/Barrier/Limit Breaking Jump, are these the recommended cards?

I considered going Pursuer, but Trunks already hits like a truck, and I need ways to avoid attacks since he has a glass jaw

Also considered backstab, could help out in using S1 more in a fight too, but an extra vanish is too good to pass up...

[urban tartan]

Yep since trunks has the potential to team wipe with overdrive and his ult mid-late game but has no HP at all really

[rare shore]

With good reason, I just went on a killing spree with him

Normally I'd feel bad but enemy team had a SS3 Goku

[urban tartan]

Trunks really needs a HP buff so he stop eating shin and dying over the littlest things early game in addition to either getting CD reductions or being allowed to stack an additional overcharge to justify them being so long in the first place

[plucky owl]

He was good in the beta or network test or w.e. Now with the newly buffed characters he is worst in slot debatable alongside bojack but everyones good with 4 snowballs. Burst sword boost needs to activate at 50% at least not 30%, huge hp increase to counter his massive cooldowns and sitting on only rush for 9-13 seconds.

[plucky owl]

And they just gave him to everyone for free which means they wont be buffing him they arent gonna give a good character out for free they gave trunks because hes so bad

[honest reef]

I don’t even use snowball, it’s a just too risky early game, maybe if you hold onto it mid/late game but still you’re at a disadvantage. He’s just too fragile and the cool downs are too long to. He’s meant to clean up and one shot. Low Hp and snowball ehh I know but it’s hard to stay alive, not saying it’s not possible but it’s a team game too

Bottom route for him cause tank has survivability so while trunks farms exp, he can clean up what the tank does damage while trunks stays back, that’s how I use him and I go solid, but late game SS3 man, and Buu and Gotenks are an issue for him or me at least

[plucky owl]

well 4 stacks of snowball is a 70% dmg increase its the undisputed best card in the game... if your team has 4 stacks you basically already won unless you slip up real bad. Most S+ rank matches pretty much anchor around who can get 4 stacks first and keep them

him being fragile cant be helped its something wrong with his charcater he has the same health pool as frieza almost which is lowest in game

[plucky owl]

also not to nitpick but you want to be going top lane for easier opportunity to steal xp and so you dont have to fight the tank which you stand no chance against you can be more passive top lane as well. The tank needs its dps bot lane with him fighting not being passive. Also trunks pairs best with techs. Like gohan he can actually fight w gohan and he pairs well with hit since he blinds.

If you go bot lane jumping on trunks first for quick easy kill is a strategy a lot of people use just like they jump on cell hp is just too low

[past vapor]

Guys what skill should i be focusing with Trunks

[honest reef]

Nah it’s cool bro idc maybe im wrong but we all have our experiences

[plucky owl]

skill 1 and ult

[honest reef]

I’ll try top lane for him and get back to you

I start S1 and S3, BA them and keep my distance for rush attack and clean up with S1

I tend to stay close to the god to recover bc he can’t tank so I have better survivability

[plucky owl]

Hes so bad bot lane he just doesnt stand a chance. Bot lane is way more aggressive the towers are much farther apart. Not to mention you literally do so little damage to the tank your tanks gonna have to 2v1.

[rare shore]

Being forced to go bottom lane as Trunks is torture lol

[plucky owl]

100% torture he just cant stand his ground. I always tick im going top before match but some people just dont get it

[rare shore]

Yeah, usually if I go bottom lane I'll likely get the kaioshin and get killed right after lol

but a lot of times I can't even do that, so I just die

I leave S2 ready to escape 'cause damn, Trunks is pretty useless early game

[nimble pewter]

Snowball is good esp if you max skill 1 early on. Then prepare to die then backstab so he basically becomes an assassin. hear me out on backstab. its a better limit breaking jump because you'll get so much more 2 activations. Pair this with his passive and youre unstoppable when defending GODs. The card combo bonus also shortens skill cooldowns even more. With this set you can easily get at least 10 KOs.

I compensate fo his lack of hp by farming a bunch early on. Dont commit to fights bc 8 times outta 10 especially if ur partner cant defend you ur gonna keep dying. When he gets to lvl 8 (i have skill 1 maxed out & ult lvl 2 at tht point) thats when I start melting the other team. Also dont go super saiyan just yet when you get it. Wait for when youre in the middle of a battle so it can recover your hp.

[honest reef]

Idk I like bottom lane and I do good lol

Well maybe not good, but I play well, and I’m only susceptible to my personal mistakes

And I get kills so idk what to say man

So when the game starts, I stay in the bush hidden, S3 while my ally and enemies are meeting in the middle, keep my distance bc Trunks has a nice enough range for his rush attack but I steer close to my side of the GOD incase. S1 to kill the Kai (fast animation/good damage) and get to Lv4 to get S2. Still have my vanish and S2 to run away if I need to

But being kinda away I make sure my enemies use their skill on my tank so I don’t have to suffer it, so I come in to clean up, bottom route, and I go damage cards, works for me so again idk

And I like to use Nail to help farm exp

[nimble pewter]

Top lane is better because everyone has less hp there

[honest reef]

My thing is everyone is also faster there

Gotenks buu Frieza hit 17

I’ll play top and let you know what I experience

[nimble pewter]

yeah trunks is low on hp AND slow early game. hes just squishy like that. So when in doubt just farm. Most supports can defend a GOD on their own decently early game anyway. Ur concern is getting high enough by the time the boss for top lane shows up.

[rare shore]

I did considering backstab, can be used for S2 when jumping at someone, didn't think of it being good to defend towers too...

Not sure about running a red card as the second one, surprise kamehamehas are deadly

[nimble pewter]

Honestly either red card works but prepare to die builds up on executing others & making skills more available

[rare shore]

makes sense, I'll consider it lol

[nimble pewter]

Cuz the whole card set up is just capitalizing on his passive lol its really just a sniper build. It does have its weaknesses though. If you dont get to farm early game for whatever reason like u keep dying you wont be of any help to the team lol all ur effort is in late game

[plucky owl]

The only reason im on the fence about backstab is cause I usually open with skill 3. The range and dmg dropoff for skill 1 makes it hard to land before they spot you. His skill 2 and skill 3 do so little damage that having their massive cooldowns halved just aint doing much. I been runnning backstab though but im not getting what i get from say ss3 with it. I can SEE what backstab is doing for me w ss3 not trunks though

I been debating pursuer because limit jump dont help much with escape as youd think

[plucky owl]

Thats a matter of foresight and not putting yourself in bad positions to get chased the towers are also much closer so escape is easier. Idk what rank you are but at S rank trunks going bot is completely dead your a meal you aint escaping bot the towers are so far and the tanks all have chasedown abilities

[nimble pewter]

True. Skill 3 so buns bruh. I max skill 1 & ult first to compensate. Once his skill 1 is max i think it has a good enough range. Super useful when its super start too. Now I rarely upgrade skill 3 bc it doesnt have a bunch of benefit. Usually i dont upgrade it it beyond even just 1.

Dropoff damage still buns though ✌️he needs a buff

[honest reef]

I’m S rank because of Uub, A2 overall

Trunks having fun and getting better

Obviously I wana be better

Idk man I do better bottom

[plucky owl]

Yea I dont wanna give too much juice out on this thread or everyones gonna be running around crazy good with him. But believe it or not his skill 3(burning shot?) does a good amount more dmg than his skill 2 surprisingly also its cooldowns 3 or 4 seconds shorter so if anything id say prioritize 3 over 2 just a bit. Getting them both to 2 before you max one is fine too for the extra range whenn chasing and jumping. Skill 2 should exclusively be used for chase or escape or just farming never to do damage to someone with more hp.

[nimble pewter]

Ooh. Noted noted. I used to use skill 2 for escape because it was his second dodge…… but thats it. Lol. Next game ill see about prioritzing skill 3.

[plucky owl]

It's all good lol I was neglecting his skill 3 too and using his skill 2 a lot even using the free activation w skill 2 just to do dmg when I first started w him lol I wouldnt even upgrade s3 until last but Ive definitely learned a lot since then. I would tell you a way to use his s3 to give you a huge edge but I gave out too much juice here already. Trunks straight up isnt as good as almost every other dps but if you play him a certain way he can get pretty scary mind you everryones scary w 4 snowballs still needs a buff.

[rare shore]

Trunks is a win more type of character basically lol

[rare shore]

Funny because I'm struggling more with Uub than Trunks, and I've been maining Uub for longer

[plucky owl]

A if you wanna play this character figure out a way to force wins for me lol

[rare shore]

I gotta stop losing for that lol

[honest reef]

Cooked with uub now lol cause I got tired of ss3

From using trunks

[plucky owl]

Your first mistake was picking trunks lol. In a one shot zoner meta. On the bright side, if you get good enough to carry w him, you can carry w anyone your goated your unstoppable and doing it w every odd stacked against you.

[nimble pewter]

Right he’s genuinely a menace …… if you can handle his aching weaknesses 😢

[plucky owl]

Plot twist trunks isn't the menace you are

[cosmic obsidian]

hello

[idle lantern]

Hi

What's the best tip for an extremely beginner no experience player who's trying to play trunks

[nimble pewter]

I think you can already learn a bunch just by backreading but i think my best tip is when in doubt live and farm rather than commit to a fight and end up getting KOd. Ur priority is to get higher hp & enough skill points. Being KOd wastes ur precious time

[cosmic obsidian]

like tree trunks or car trunks whats the specification

[idle lantern]

YEAH LMAO I'VE BEEN DYING A LOT ACTUALLY I think it's bcs I charge straight into everything

How much should I farm before like confidentially fighting someone

[nimble pewter]

til 7 or 8

8 for the skill points

[idle lantern]

NOTED

TYANK YOU

[mild granite]

Trunks is an assassin. He doesn't want to initiate battles, he wants to finish them. That's pretty much his big weakness / learning curve.

Very much a dash-in dash-out type of character, even moreso than SSJ Goku

[urban tartan]

Yo I called it

[proud stone]

is there a level up order I'm supposed to follow for trunks?

[plucky owl]

S2 coming out lets pray trunks has a HP buff at the very very least god willing so you dont have to run to heal every time someone presses R1

[nimble pewter]

I get why skill 3’s useful now Skill 3 and backstab go in tandem

[plucky owl]

Its a good barrier breaker but you can use it for something a little more practical basically sniping xp I feel like backstab is wasted on such a weak skill but they can go in tandem im always unsure of what to run his 3rd card ive been using backstab too not getting much from it though

[nimble pewter]

Oh i just use his skill 1 to snipe lol. For skill 3 every skill after that counts as recently discovered bc of the smoke. keeping in mind his passive, having backstab means he can do a lot more activations in a single instance. great for fending off at the GoD

[frank gorge]

Solo necesito que Trunks tenga un poco de más vida o defensa sobre todo por qué al inició te costará mucho sobrevivir con el, cosa que por ejemplo en una batalla con los buff cell JR te costará el poder tener un buen inicio y adaptarte al combate, el personaje tiene buen daño pero su error quizá es su defensa solo pido que aguante solo un poquito más para que en el inicio no cueste tanto enfrentarte a personajes como Toppo o Gotenks

[fossil topaz]

guys I played with one friend with the rank e2, d4, b3 and i was c2 with my class and we got two rank a people and one b1

[plucky owl]

I mean the basic mobs skill 1 for everything else

Part of why you need to got top w trunks you cant snipe xp bot unless you always extend to the enemy tower

[nimble pewter]

so trunks’ only shadow buff was his rush attack getting faster

Okay. 🫩

at least it’s not a nerf

[plucky owl]

What could they nerf that isnt already bottom of the barrel tbh bojack buffed and dabura got some mild seasoning too trunks has to be undisputed worst in slot now

[thick harness]

no trunks buff

what the hell

[dusky heron]

Is it only me or trunks does no damage and dies literally to everything?

Is it cause of the cards?

[nimble pewter]

what r ur cards

[dusky heron]

I use the automatic so I don't really know what the game picks

[plucky owl]

Barrier will help you from getting wiped immediately its the second card a green one

[dusky heron]

Ok

Thanks

So barrier is a green and it's the first card I have to pick right?

I tried once using as first card the snowball and then steel skin is it a good option?

[plucky owl]

Dont use auto get snowball its the best card in the game rn for dps barrier is regarded by many as a must have card for every character to stop you getting burst down immediaately

[dusky heron]

Thank you pal

I appreciate that

[plucky owl]

1 snowball 2 barrier 3 limit jump or backstab

[dusky heron]

Thanks a lot

This for every dps or just trunks?

[plucky owl]

Most dps... 4 stacks of snowballs is 70% dmg increase some people run certain builds with build up though its not the general meta

[nimble pewter]

im gonna be ngl with the recent dps buffs especially 18 & dabura im inclined to pick a green card for 2nd slot now

its not like my usual set up hasnt been working but holy frick can i get one shotted even late game

[plucky owl]

What you aint been running barrier your wild you must be using giant slayer

[nimble pewter]

nah i use prepare to die

it works on god

but yeah it ain’t proving so good in all situations like before

i’ll see about solid barrier rn actually

even with its nerfs

[plucky owl]

It literally saves your life from instakill burst dmg maybe 20 times a match you can eat an ult and walk away barely no worse for wear

I tested the cards as well both the second red cards dmg boost is negligible

[nimble pewter]

aight

[lusty cave]

Yo

Trunks skill order when upgrading? Specially when Max skill at beginning of the match is enabled, which should I choose?

[final valley]

prepare to die is op on trunks if ur team is goated

[plucky owl]

Upgrade Ult as soon as you can every time then Burst sword is your bread and butter for damage. Best to use your free activation for 2 burst swords unless you really need to escape then jump. Burning shot does more dmg and shorter cooldown than your jump but both are weak. Unless its skill 2 boost then in that case prioritize jump heavily.

You guys can backread for a lot of information its all talked about in depth pretty good

[sonic lichen]

Hi everyone,
So i am trying to main trunks but I have so much trouble hitting his 1st skill. Got any tips for that?

[dusky heron]

I use it mainly when the enemy try to escape

Or to steal bosses or kaioshin since he does a lot of damage with first skill

When there is super start I pick the first skill then I max the second and then the ult 3 skill for last

I'm not a pro but this build got me to s rank season 1 and now I'm on b4 but I'm climbing pretty fast

I suggest u to play safe until ur level 9 or 10 cause of the low health he has

[sonic lichen]

I play safe but I have trouble in team fights

[wet spindle]

for me i often prioritize farming until im level 7 for transformation

after that i have a much easier time winning fights

[nimble pewter]

don’t commit to a lane fight until super saiyan no matter how hungry the other one is to battle

use your skill 1 to execute low hps

that’s the only safe way to get kills before a viable level

[sonic lichen]

My main struggle is first hitting s1 in close range. Second how to fight as trunks in late game team fights

As for farm and all I can do that pretty fine and win lanes most of the time

[nimble pewter]

for that first one either you set auto aim or practice lel

second

you defend your GoD

trunks is such a menace on late-game defensive like if you’re down to your last 2 or even 1 GoD

[sonic lichen]

How?

[nimble pewter]

just stay on the one being attacked and defend

lol

his burst damage alone can change the tide of the entire match even if the enemy team is gaining the upper hand

if you’re lucky

enemy team k.o

i’ve done that many times before

[sonic lichen]

I think i am not being clear. In close range I will aim at right direction but they can just move away easily

[nimble pewter]

oh true

well to be fair it’s his highest damage skill

only makes sense it’s got a narrow range

[sonic lichen]

I think once I understand these things I will be much better

I am losing in farm I am loosing in skill as of now lol

[nimble pewter]

personally i really only use it to snipe. slowing people down with skill 3 helps. personally for the kill i go

s3 (blind) -> s2 -> s1

[sonic lichen]

How do you play against SB

I usually use s3 to break it

[nimble pewter]

skill 3 not only blinds but slows them, then you can warp to them, and now that they’re close to you and don’t have mobility, you can skill 1 them :^)

[sonic lichen]

Or s2

[nimble pewter]

SB?

[sonic lichen]

Whay about ult?

Solid barrier

[nimble pewter]

oh i just

don’t engage trunks against high defenses

hes a glass cannon. Solid barrier & tanks r his downfall.

better to live and farm than die and wait half a minute. anything can happen in half a minute

[nimble pewter]

team kills at the defense

early game you can also use that to execute b4 ssj

[sonic lichen]

Hopefully i will get better

Game is not helping me anyways. Pairing me with 2 bots always

Cant even find out if my trunks is bad or its coz team is bad

[nimble pewter]

hear me on this

9.99 out of 10 times if you’re losing as trunks it’s not you. it’s your team. he’s genuinely a menace and the sole hero that got me to S dps last season. however he has little influence early game, meaning if you even have a not-so-good tank things may turn for the worse as early as the first zenos’ round.

my advice

when you’re this 🤏 close to getting your rank up

don’t solo q

[sonic lichen]

I dont really care for rank that much I will reach S somehow anyways. I just hope they fix this 2 bots per match issue

[sonic lichen]

More update: I think trunks is a team dependent kind of dps

If your team is not pulling their weight and doing dmg on team trunks alone can't do anything

[molten nimbus]

Build up. Boss hunter. Lbj. Prioririze S3 and support blind from far away. Only ult at boss

[molten nimbus]

S3 has best value in term of upgrading it

[honest reef]

Had to come back over here after playing both sides, I do better bottom route. Ppl can say what they want about tanks and techs, but I play better bottom for trunks

Course there are times I don’t play well and get destroyed, but from my experience I just play better bottom

[sonic lichen]

Boss hunter?

Is not solid barrier more imp for trunks

Especially in current meta where enemies have lots of hihh dps range aoe

[round river]

to be honest with a 4 stacked snowball you can do a lot on your own !! I killed like 3 enemies by myself earlier today

[nimble pewter]

yeah actually

[nimble pewter]

but this has value

bc it dont matter how buns ur team is. if u get triple boss k.o., the tides will turn in ur favor

bc THEN can u use his ranged stuff and team kill. leave his ult for when like 2 or more people are in range btw. you can get the boss with any of his other skills

[plucky owl]

to be fair you snipe the boss when its at 30% hp regardless boss hunter isnt gonna help you increase that percentage and boss hunter only activates when boss 50% its already dead at that point

[molten nimbus]

I should have ult faster to wear boss down and s1 then

[molten nimbus]

S1 upgrade doesnt increase damage whatsoever

Actually the range of s1 affect

Further = less damage

[rare shore]

Yes it does lol

[molten nimbus]

It doesnt i test it

It only increae range

I guess snowball, boss hunter, lbj

[rare shore]

I have the game open here man

[molten nimbus]

Chance are you just gonna be reactive about it

[molten nimbus]

I still priority s3

I dont throw myself into group of people

[rare shore]

Level 11 Trunks vs Level 15 Vegeta with S1, the damage between each level is 3101, 3445, 4134

[molten nimbus]

I still gonna run trunk bosshunter

[rare shore]

cool, not my point

S1 not increasing damage is just wrong lol

[molten nimbus]

My build is now. Snowball, boss hunter, defense step

I would say ultimg the boss even at 60% gonna confirm kills it

[plucky owl]

buff trunks the glass cannon without the cannon the zoner health pool but doesnt do zoner damage

[plucky owl]

it increases the dmg you need at least lvl 2 to finish some bosses 30% its your hardest hitting skill though without the boost so you shouldnt just wait until 30% hp on players to use it.

Its unfortunate the boost only activates at 30% hp anything kills something at 30% hp

[molten nimbus]

I simply just gonna ult when it 50%

[honest reef]

Yo, there are moments when I kill an enemy (late game) OR use a skill on an enemy for damage and I just randomly get an extra free use of that same skill. How or why does that happen?

It helped don’t get me wrong but catches me off guard cause I don’t expect a free skill. Does anyone get that with Trunks?

[nimble pewter]

that’s his passive

[honest reef]

I’m sorry

[nimble pewter]

also there’s a skill (i forgot what exactly it was) where if you use another skill immediately after using that skill it’ll activate said skill faster

[nimble pewter]

no need to apologize (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎

[honest reef]

My fault man. I meant killing an NPC with a skill late game.
Or attacking/using a skill towards an enemy hero, not killing them, but I see the skill highlights again?

Ex-I’ll use Burning Attack on an NPC or enemy hero, not even killing but I see the skill highlight so I use it again, why not. But why or how? Maybe an assist?

[rare shore]

Killing bosses also counts towards activating his overcharge

If it's regular NPCs though, I dunno what's up lol

[honest reef]

I have no idea lol, maybe it’s an assist and my ally made a kill idr, but it happens

Maybe it’s an assist

[honest reef]

If I can record and show guys what I mean I will, last match with Trunks we got cooked, but late game I had extra free Skills, so I kept using S3 and I have an extra free 2 while using but not initially killing on an enemy hero

So idk but I’m not complaining but still I’m not killing (yet) and it highlights

[jagged echo]

What exactly is the level up path? I usually go 1 2 4 3 in terms of what im maxing out.

Oh and what cards are good for him? I go build up giant slayer and pursuer but I might change it

[kind fog]

I prefer Super Snowball on him coz the damage ramp up is a great synergy to his passive and makes you spam his skills even more

[nimble pewter]

why?

it’s purely benefit though

build up don’t do much

the 4x? You need to approach trunks like an executor

early game, that is

the way to build up snowball’s multiplier is to steal kills

you won’t need build up by then because you can take out anyone lol

overleveled?

there is no overleveling as trunks

if you’re not overleveling you’re doing something wrong

that’s the only way to raise his base hp anyway

[nimble pewter]

sounds fine to me (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎ Why r all the messages gone 😭

[molten nimbus]

My trunk is just build up. Boss hunter. Backstab

Im fully commit into constantly smoke people

[fathom shoal]

if youd be fully committed into smoking people youd run snowball bro

[honest reef]

Can someone educate me, I still can’t find what’s Boss
Hunter as a divine card??
You guys mean Epic Hunter?

[old steeple]

Yes that’s the card

Personally I wouldn’t run it up hey people do whatever

Imo

The cards that synergize with trunks playstyle is

Ofc snowball

Sheild

And last one it’s between light breaker jump

Or defense step

Defense step lets you go for steals a lot more with your ult and survive

[glacial willow]

he’s useless ✌️

[fickle yarrow]

💀

[nimble pewter]

he is

buff him next szn pls

[glacial willow]

should’ve seen the trunks i got yesterday night

2/13/0 level 6 14k damage

just delete trunks atp ✌️

[nimble pewter]

true trunks fans know he’s the worst in slot by a mile

even just slightly more base hp would make him actually viable

[glacial willow]

any buff would make him viable

he’s completely outscaled in everything

he’s not tanky,he doesn’t have a ton of aoe, and his damage is lower than most dps

[nimble pewter]

i can’t play him anymore in this ulthan meta bro. it’s nigh impossible to even just farm because trunks is slow AND low on hp AND can’t last more than 3 seconds in a fight AND ulthan will just stagger me with all his skills

on toshi soul he getting buffed next season

[glacial willow]

ulthan is the equivalent of ssj3 on release

no way to play against it until it gets a nerf

[honest reef]

Trunks is still incredibly slow early game but he can still cook, got mvp with him with ulthan. I think they go good together

He needs an hp buff asap at least, and shorter skill cooldowns, but he definitely has the capability to perform well

[shrewd grotto]

I play trunks and find a lot of success despite the hardships

My build is

Too easy!
Prepare to Die
Limit breaking jump

Too easy! Card saves my life very often and gives me that hp of wiggle room early and late in the game.

Prepare to die helps me kill at around 45%Hp really effectively I think it’s a must have card. (Too easy makes up for the lack of barrier)

Limit breaking jump helps with getting away and getting in also very important against late game

Try it

[fickle yarrow]

I have my bad matches, my good matches or my great matches

But due to ulthan they’ve been decent or terrible

My poor trunks

[molten nimbus]

i'm fully commit on being alive in teamfight the longest to take down boss

[nimble pewter]

,,,yeahhhhhhh you can just snipe though

like you dont even need to fight

esp boss like any skill u do around 30% will take it out

[honest reef]

I’ve sniped bossed with S1 more than Ult since that’s instant and Ult takes some time

Also yea facing Ulthan is not good for trunks, man just toys with him pushing him anywhere constantly

[old steeple]

the worst are his cooldowns imo

they are so damn long

his only half decent cooldwon is his skill 3

imo

i think the devs tried to use league of legends balancing on him

he is most similar to a char like katarina ( same archtype of reset assasin) but trunks is no where near that

he only has one reset on a kill

not all his cooldowns just one

so even with that you cant even go for another kill cause most of his skills cant do the damage to oneshot anyone lmao

[carmine fog]

whats a good build to run on trunks

[rare shore]

He would be absurdly powerful if he overcharged all of his skills lol

[honest reef]

Like all I want is this guy to have a health increase more than skill cool downs man, his hp is like less than half of other characters

[molten nimbus]

i mostly play build up, boss hunter, lbj on him

so at least he tanky and survive enough to end kill or someting

and i focus on S3

[old steeple]

how?

to put to perspective

he has no way to deal with tanky enemies or tamky dps\

[rare shore]

Because he's a damage monster, and would be capable of using six skills lol

[old steeple]

rn his best way to play teamfights is to run around and hope your team gets someone low before you yourself jump in to try and kill them. his cooldowns are massive

[old steeple]

he has no good damage scaling ways or mobility

his only engage tool is his skill 2

and thats his only escape tool as well

im saying if they wanna make an assasin they got to give bro something

cause dude has low health

lowish mobility that cant even go over walls

long cooldowns

[rare shore]

Let him overcharge like that and damage would no longer be an issue lol

[old steeple]

the worst ealy game period

[honest reef]

Just needs more HP and all skills like 1-3 seconds shorter, that’s all, not that hard devs cmon do it

[shrewd grotto]

#1382552464158621800 message

gives good survival especially early and prepare to die let’s you kill people at like 40% with skill 1

[urban tartan]

I finally figured out an simple early game strat as trunks that I enjoy doing
Steps 1 and 2 Get S3 and S1
Step 3 During the kai fight use S3 when it's getting low on HP to blind your enemies
Step 4 Steal it with S1
Step 5 get S2 to jump out

Then you just repeat it when a bulky damage type enemy or 2 enemies are trying to kill the kai again when it respawns

[honest reef]

Yeah after Kai just run to recover hp lol, I think most of it is situational depending on who you’re facing but I agree w you

[molten nimbus]

trunk with boss hunter really good, but he not that good at stealing boss regardless

with bosshunter it like secure kill if you can execute it just about boss at 30% hp

[urban tartan]

Doesn't boss killer only works for 1 hit when the boss is under 50% HP?

Plus i literally just took all 4 bosses the last match I was in

[rare shore]

No, just checked it against 16

with a level 15 Trunks using rush attack, 92 damage before Boss Hunter activates, 116 after, for every hit

[urban tartan]

So far I'm can get away with it my main thinking and experience is that if I try to take the kai with my ally...I may just end up dying thanks to having low base HP if both enemies get the kai and then focus on me I'm gone...

So if I have my enemies work on the kai for me blind them from a distance at the last second when it's under 50% HP then just brust sword it and run i could gain a massive advantage by always having a level lead and upgrade my skills faster

[rare shore]

Lol, man, epic hunter is bugged, if I kill Nappa, rush attack will do less damage to 16

[urban tartan]

Maybe that was the bug I was thinking of

[nimble pewter]

it’s why i use backstab. i try to compensate for the cooldowns with having as many activations as possible in a particular instance. ulthan’ll just pinball me around and completely neg my skill 2 though

[urban tartan]

I try to use backstab but limit breaking jump just feels too good...maybe I can give it a try now since I'm running build up and solid barrier instead of snowball

[urban tartan]

Hey how much does vanish strike increase the speed of shining slash? I can't really tell the difference

[urban tartan]

Thumbs up for trunks buffs
#📬submitted-game-feedback message

[urban tartan]

Now i can tell it makes the slashes from shining slash faster

[analog edge]

W self teaching

[honest reef]

W trunks user

[urban tartan]

OK if there's clouds I'm just going to double upgrade S1 and try to steal the kai at the last second

[rare shore]

I always stop beating up the kaioshin and check out clouds exactly because of that lol

[urban tartan]

I think i peaked as trunks
#✨game-moments message

[honest reef]

Tbh I don’t think that’s a good idea,

[nimble pewter]

double upgrade s1 is always the way to go though

its for the first hit

s2… sure, but if someone bursty spots you you have one less escape measure, s3 is too slow

[honest reef]

As I got better S3 and S1, yea save S1 for Kai of if you can get the kill, but stay on your side and save your vanish. S3 to get some damage from the distance which helps cause S1 cool down too long which imo ain’t great early game

If you get Kai I use the vanish and s2 to run away but you should be good but everyone’sd different

[urban tartan]

Broly spotlight dropped and...we're really going to need buffs otherwise

#📬submitted-game-feedback message

[mortal shoal]

Not going to lie trunks feels broken

[rare shore]

If he's dominating he can be overwhelming, but he's very momentum based character. He's too frail to survive in team fights for long, and his early game is really rough

[urban tartan]

Yep when the ball is rolling in his favor it can be hard to get him to stop but if the ball is rolling in the enemies favor he doesn't feel that threatening

[wet spindle]

i swear i cant win a damn round as trunks

[mortal shoal]

Solid barrier bro

[urban tartan]

God gave me a massive opportunity and I took it #✨game-moments message

[nimble pewter]

yeeeaaaah i don’t think trunks is getting any buffs any time soon

he’s always been somewhat worst in slot but he’s also one buff away from being best in slot

[urban tartan]

If hit the dude nobody invited can get buffs trunks can at the very least get an HP buff

[solid tusk]

My goat needs an HP buff

[carmine fog]

What is the best set?

Of cards ?

[nimble pewter]

i run snowball/prepare to die/backstab

snowball is indubitable

a green card has its uses in this meta, but prepare to die helps with executing players. i like to capitalize on how bursty he already is.

backstab for two reasons:

his S3 blinds, so whatever skill you land after will count as being recently discovered and thus reduce the skills cooldown and then mean more burst.

if you just use s2 from far enough or on someone fighting somebody else, it will proc backstab and reduce your cooldown for it, and then you can use it as an engage and an escape or for more burst damage to finish someone off.

[carmine fog]

Ok thanks

[urban tartan]

Yeah LBJ is good for safety with trunks but backstab just fits too amazingly with his quick assassination type of plays he can do

[carmine fog]

Where is gotenks discussion?

Thanks

[gaunt night]

hey what do you guys use for cards, used a couple of combinations and gotten good games with them all idk what to stick with

[proud night]

i find that trunks is too frail to make build up work so i end up just using snowball

and then barrier + lbj

cause those two always go well with snowball

[honest reef]

Before Gohan, top route -build up worked for me, like getting g the kills, with LBJ, along with S2-extra skill and vanish, can help his escape quickly

But with Gohan, and now Broly, I feel hes gotten down in the tier, can still cook, but SS4 with his stun on s2, Broly literally tanking via the despair gauge, makes it so hard to use him. And Gohan bulling anyone on a 1v1, poor trunks man

[urban tartan]

My man really can't catch a break
SSJ4 Vegeta has great early game HP and will stagger trunks if he tries anything
The same goes for ultimate gohan except he'll also knock him around like he's in a pinball machine so they'll be no hope to escape
And Z Broly will just kill him for the slightest thing

[weary aspen]

skill priority?

[fresh swift]

My favorite character in the game is this forum. Seriously trunks is a good character and has goated burst damage

He does good dmg but ssj1 Goku has good overall damage due to his kaioken booster

But trunks is an all out rounder and has good snowball pontential

And I have him at 6 stars

[weary aspen]

is the rest of his moves skill order irrelevant or something lmao

why just 1

[nimble pewter]

oh

prioritize maxing his S1. s2&3 are interchangeable depending on who you’re up against in your lane

obviously prioritize his ult too but you’re gonna want the range of S1 early on first

super start s1

[fresh swift]

S1 is heavily ranged and whenever a enemy is low it’s a great finishing move to kill them (especially at zenkai, I call it zenkai because I’m used to it)

What I mean by zenkai is that it’s fully leveled ul to 3, sorry if you can’t understand what I mean

[weary aspen]

oh so trunks actually levels his ult? ight ty

been playing chars that don't so yeah lol

and as for uh

s2 and s3

what type of chars would make me prioritize one of them over the other?

[nimble pewter]

s3’s pretty slow so you’ll usually use s2 to catch/retreat against quick fighters like techs. s2 deals more damage so it’s best used against tanks n other dps

[weary aspen]

ty

[urban tartan]

Trunks bros I think we're cooked in S3 unless he gets buffs

[wet spindle]

i just ran him and got vanquished by a broly

I cant even handle season 2, so s3 is outta the question

[nimble pewter]

🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️trunks hp buff🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

[honest reef]

Nah I don’t think so

S3 is amazing especially maxed out. Takes long to use, but nice aoe, and you’re from a distance to obscure their vision, not bad imo despite you don’t want to get hit with him. Trunks’s main issue is the low hp and super long cool downs, if those were adjusted he’d be much better imo

[wet spindle]

s3s cool and all but it dont mean much if he gets vanquished in literal seconds

[honest reef]

This season he’s cooked don’t get me wrong

Ya

S1 he was cooking, S2 he got cooked

Season^^

[wet spindle]

yeah had a lotta fun s1, not so much this season

[nimble pewter]

trunks buffs

in the sense that

s2 cooldown was reduced by 2 seconds

s3 cooldown was reduced by 1

haha

hahaha

snowball got nerfed too

i fear it may be over for him

[wet spindle]

balance changes are out?

oh nah thats it???

cooler getting more buffs than trunks

[urban tartan]

In a way we're still up
High HP characters/Immortality builds just took a hit vs the guy who wants to hop into the fight at the right time when they're weak and kill everyone in a few seconds

[fossil topaz]

where can I see the balance changes?

[wet spindle]

ig so

but solid barrier was theone thing keeping him from dying in 0.2 seconds

[fossil topaz]

are they even out yet?

[wet spindle]

i found it on reddit

i think its in their website or sumtin

[fossil topaz]

ah okay i‘m gonna check it out

[fossil topaz]

yeah it was on their website thanks
