Super Saiyan Trunks (Teen)

[sour walrus]

Outlook is very bleak 🫩

[urban tartan]

We just gotta be even more careful

Most characters aren't used to dying fast but us trunks mains...it's just thursday for us

[honest reef]

Trunks made me a better player
Because dude gets destroyed, so you’ll have to play safe

[sour walrus]

NAH FR I KNOW HOW TO ESCAPE ALL SORTS OF SHI NOW

[sand cosmos]

Ok so. Is snowball dead on him

I saw that the nerf was hella major

[sour walrus]

I'm not using it anymore. Been running strategic.

[sand cosmos]

Elaborate

[sour walrus]

I am running the heck away from Broly/Ulthan

Mostly I'm just not sure if any of the card 1's are that beneficial to him at this point

[sand cosmos]

I thnk Im just sticking to SnowBarrierPursuer

[urban tartan]

Yeah ngl getting that final stack can be a pain
If only if it was changed to 50 x4 instead of 40 x5

[honest reef]

Been using that and had more success early game than snowball, late game when it’s meyham yea snowball, but survivability is much more important

Especially with Ulthan, anyone if I’m top route I strongly pick strategic escape, just good to get out of someone’s range, or in/out of tower

[nimble pewter]

he’s a vegito victim regardless even at full stack

it’s kinda situational now i do NOT run it when i see ulthan/vegito

[sour walrus]

THIS

[sour walrus]

Trunks being a perpetual victim is just canon, unfortunately

[honest reef]

Better to get away FR, gohans pin ball game/stagger and Brolys S3 buffing S1/2, it’s too much upfront, need distance

[honest reef]

Situational is key to this game imo, even super start, I wait till I know who I’m facing and buff skills accordingly

[whole dagger]

any trunks coaching?

if any

i need advice cause im gonna main him solely

ill take anything

[lyric heath]

i got a legendary intro animation for trunks so now i wanna main him. What's the best way to use him?

[proud night]

be really really careful and take fights you know you can win

[lyric heath]

is Trunks lowkey buns?

[wet spindle]

too damn fragile

[slender frigate]

Yes
Incredibly mid

genkidamatsuri tomorrow guys

the first super announcement is actually trunks getting 7 major buffs

[wet spindle]

all of which will be towards his cooldowns

[urban tartan]

Finally we got more HP at early/mid game!

[nimble pewter]

TRUUUUUNNNKKKSSSSSS BUUUUUUUFFFFSSSSSSS

THE AGENDA WORKED

MAINTAINING THE AGENDA PAID OFF

[wet spindle]

HELL YQHH

[sour walrus]

LET'S GO

[rich quarry]

Tried to ask this in the main channel but I feel like its more appropriate to ask here, so is trunks s2 bugged? Says its supposed to make super attack come out quicker but it just.... doesnt?

[urban tartan]

It's does it makes the sword slashes faster

I didn't notice at first either

[rich quarry]

I kinda see it at max level (tried it in the range) but its barely noticeable

Its also weird that theres no combo prompt like goku has w kaioken

[nimble pewter]

highkey he’s kinda goated cause of the buff

just gotta be more versatile with his cards

i switch between giant slayer & prepare to die a bunch depending on what lane he’s up against for the meantime

that early game hp lets him save even tanks in a pinch now

his late game decrease hasn’t been too glaring so far… just avoid broly and 18

[honest reef]

He needs someone who can either take the damage while trunks is in the back end attacking, not getting damage, or a good Buu player

[mossy ibex]

Hi guys i havent play this game in a while is trunks still good?

[mortal shoal]

Trunks always been good

[glass orchid]

Me when I lie 😞

[glass orchid]

Trunks isn’t as good as before but his burst damage is still comparable to, if not better than newer characters

[mortal shoal]

you guys are copeing he was broken before buffs literally easy solo q s tier

you guys just dont know how to play

[glass orchid]

I mean, he was mediocre, imo there was just better options

Actually

Looking back at it

His only downside is his hp

And his small ahh ult early game 🫩

[mortal shoal]

idk man he was never dabura level

[glass orchid]

I don’t think any character was ever Dabura level (exept 18)

[mortal shoal]

Trunks got good kai contest and dmg tbh

[final valley]

this is cap, as a trunks lover and enjoyer, trunks was good s1, unplayable s2 , and now playable s3 xD

[sand cosmos]

My main issue is tha stupid revive draw, it just says, Hey you did great doing your burst combo. You ready to do it again? At a probable 4 health?

[mortal shoal]

there is even a bug that makes trunks broken his passive resets his skills even without getting kills or assists

[final valley]

they nerfed it now so its not that bad

[final valley]

this bug ur prob refering to is when u kill or assist on boss or god of destruction xD they count as kills for his passive

[mortal shoal]

lol op

[nimble pewter]

real trunks fans know to admit the goat is washed

he was unplayable from season 2 up until the hp buff

ulthan + 4geta would just turn him into a pinball

[low trail]

well trunks is useless against the new hero

[nimble pewter]

i mean i get why he’s a bit lacking cause if they buff him any more anywhere he’ll be ssjku 2

[mortal shoal]

He was pretty good in season 2 lol

[wet spindle]

Son

[final valley]

s2 trunks was less useful then a frieza not laying down his units all game xD

[glass orchid]

Uh

I disagree with that heavily

I mean atp it’s just high speed fights bro

With trunks teleporting around and sniping

[mortal shoal]

Damn lots of people suffering from skill issue afufufufj

[lyric heath]

Did trunks get buffed?? Mine is doing so much damage

[mortal shoal]

Hes always been good lol

[lethal trench]

How do I get good with this character... What skill to prioritise ( a progression order will be helpful )

[old steeple]

im not a trunks main, but basics exist

trunks prioty for skills is

Skill 2 -> Ult-> Skill 1-> Skill 3

this is kind of the default leveling order . as you get better you can max out whatever you want based on how you play

iv seen trunks players max out skill 1 for the range and start sniping escaping players from afar

i think trunks is about pateince

you cant box like other herous as your cooldowns are like 20 seconds long lmao , farm up early and focus on securing with skill 1 .

This next part is about your own expereince in situations

trunks dash can be a rly good get in or out tool

but until you get that first extra passive skill you need to be very careful about using it for engage early cause without it your a squishy little boy and you will get touched up

you play around fights and looking to jump on the squishy dps

keflas and them are you targets , they have mobility but you can be smart and play around clouds to get the jump on them

in 1v1s your kills rly come from either your ult or skill 1

**Skill 1 execute damage is no joke so you need to try at hit that when they are about half hp or lower **

Trunks is not a 1v5 machine dog

you aint beating tanks

you aint killing the beefy boys from full hp , you get the drop on them when their hp is low mid fight or their trying to run

@lethal trench ask more in the chat her for better advice , im not a gaint trunks main i just dabble

imo best expereince is your own .

[mortal shoal]

2 and 1 max 2 and 1 at 8

[lethal trench]

Thanks for info gng... I ll practice with him 😊

[mortal shoal]

I play controller so i always insta auto aim dash onto people so its prob easier that way

use s1 to secure kai early game

[lethal trench]

What about super start ??

[mortal shoal]

use ult late game with world king to one shot dps

max s2

always

[lethal trench]

Ok

Cards ??

[mortal shoal]

super start you get s1 level 2 at level 4

snowball giantslayer/prepare to die/barrier/ double blink

[lethal trench]

Snow ball grew on me.. i was almost always able to get 2 stacks per boss ..

[mortal shoal]

trunks is good at farming and ok at bosses with s1

[lethal trench]

Isn't pursuer better for trunks.. ?

[mortal shoal]

pursuer is useless does nothing

[lethal trench]

Yeah.. his s1 secure at kai 's is really good .

[lethal trench]

What does it even do ??

[mortal shoal]

small bonus damage when you hit 2 skills and movement speed boost towards target

you usually going to s2 into people and blink away or s2 s1 blink away

[old steeple]

lies

but double dash is just worth it

pursuer lets you get some disgusting half hp executes with skill 1 after you land skill 2

[mortal shoal]

then you die lol

[sand shale]

Wouldn't backstab be better

It lowers cooldown a lot when getting the jump on the enemy (which is something that trunks does alot) and it still lowers cooldown a bit due to it being a blue card

Double dash isn't bad, but i think trunks already has enough movement with skill 2 and his passive

[mortal shoal]

you get cd resets on kill

[sand shale]

True

But trunks biggest weakness is cooldown

And backstab cuts his cooldowns more than in half

With backstab and his passive you can use a move 3 times before a kill

And when you get a kill, you never need to worry about cooldowns ever again

Using 2 sword thrusts and 2 jump slashes instantly is insane

Then you get a kill, pop the passive, and you can do it again to the next enemy

3 SWORD THRUSTS

Completely atomizes the enemy

Why use pursuer for a tiny amount of damage and speed when you can get 3 uses of a move with virtually 0 cooldown

Besides, his ult already gives speed on hit so pursuer seems kinda unneeded in that area

[final valley]

im a firm beliver in back stab trunks, just fills the gap when other dps are launching 234234 skills during ur cds xD

[nimble pewter]

backstab is the strat

ever since szn0 its been my goat

it’s the one card that builds upon his passive

& the only card that addresses his cooldowns anyway

[sand shale]

Good answer nephew

I can’t send pictures

[sand shale]

Btw love your profile

Its funny

[nimble pewter]

thank yew

[honest reef]

I’ve been using backstab trunks and I have to say wow he can cook

Wanted to have some fun and try out the ideas ^^ and I’m impressed

[honest reef]

Kinda neutral about trunks buffs, good his S2 the Cd decreased, good for running away or getting people faster, but idk about the damage part, since trunks is built for kills, if he goes in he must kill or he’s done. I do like S1 doing more at 50% than 30% tho, I think this skill needs a 2-3 second shorter CD too

[regal ridge]

you WILL feel that burst sword when they hit 50% trust

[frank sphinx]

So, assuming Trunks lives to see 7 seconds of a fight, Vanish Strike actually deals more DPS, now, roughly 11% more.

[warped python]

these buffs were long overdue, but exactly what i was hoping for

[final valley]

guys we are so back

[urban tartan]

Ok backstab trunks + S2 Cooldown is nuts

1.5 seconds vanish strike is mad funny

[urban tartan]

Did someone hand me some reading glasses? Because I read that 3ku like a book!
#✨game-moments message

[urban tartan]

these buffs are having me platonically fall in love with trunks all over again

#✨game-moments message

[rustic lance]

So I've been running snowball, giant killer and backstabber for cards, is there a better combination I should be using or is this good?

[urban tartan]

That is one of the best divine cards build for him but most like myself take solid barrier over giant slayer for extra safety

[honest reef]

I got trunks infinite skin cause he’s freaking awesome and i actually have fun with him

[urban tartan]

He was my first infinite skin i got around S1-S2 since I got like 2 legendary finisher dupes for first form frieza and I haven't regretted it ever since

[urban tartan]

I think on the rare chance when I'm not using barrier i would use giant slayer

GS gives rougly the same amount of damage old snowball gave for the entire fight assuming they can't run it's either they die or you die

and prepare to die while gives more damage then SG after like 2 seconds have passed you enemy needs to be half dead and while it would have great synergy with his S1 now the effect has been buffed i rather have the damage to get them to 50% HP off rip and then try to execute them with his S1 while having the GS boost

[honest reef]

Snowball, GS, and backstab. If not GS, solid barrier but i like the extra damage cause hes an in and out character. GS because it’s a team game so i want to do as much damage as i can before i run back while my ally attacks, then i can finish the kill.

[old steeple]

why not prepare to die lmao

if its a team game

[blazing cedar]

Ain’t he a burst damage character anyway

[old steeple]

Yeah i never figured out why giantslayer is used more on characters who don’t go in first

Cause one hp goes bellow 80% it’s useless and can’t proc

[blazing cedar]

I mean “burst damage” as in that the fight shouldn’t last that long anyway

His hp is too low for long fights

It might work with the skill 2 cooldown draw

[regal ridge]

because prepare to die is useless because it takes 2 whole seconds to give the full damage boost which is weaker then percent based damage that giant slayer has

[old steeple]

thing is though

its a lot easier to proc than gaint slayer

especially since gaint slayer falls off when you leave combat

and you need to hit them before they fall under the 80% hp mark

[regal ridge]

you not only need to fight somebody at 50% or less but they need to last 2s to just do less then giantslayer it's never worth using

[wild ember]

[urban tartan]

Plus the damage from giant slayer lasts for the entire confrontation

[honest reef]

Exactly

[fast tapir]

Somehow became a top 3 trunks due to Snowball, Solid Barrier and Defense Step

[quiet wolf]

I'm about to get back into using trunks as my main dps

[glass dust]

Hey I'm getting into Trunks. Could any of y'all simplify the best way to use him?

[regal ridge]

snowball, giant slayer and backstab only use burst sword when the enemy is around 40% never level up burning attack just dump your points into the other 2 skills and ult

[glass dust]

Is it a good strategy to hide in bushes/clouds and just jump people from the shadows?

[regal ridge]

only if a teammate is fighting a enemy

[glass dust]

Gotcha. Does the Burning Attack hit everything in that circle or does it just smoke it up?

[regal ridge]

everything in the circle

[glass dust]

Thanks a lot

[final valley]

this but barrier second card, if ur starting out and or ur goiing against good players imo

makes up for ur tank not doing tank things

[fast tapir]

Yeah barrier is crucial considering that you might get stunned or aggro by other character

[sand shale]

Idk if I’m just bad with surviving as trunks or the enemies just do so much more damage but even with barrier I feel like it’s not enough

Might be a skill issue

[noble abyss]

But burning dont make proc backstab easier?

[violet swallow]

I see more value in defense step than backstab

[final valley]

Do you play solo alot? Trunks can be a pain when teams don't engage, just gotta time ur entry and make sure when u go in its a kill.

[sand shale]

Yeah I mainly play solo bc none of my friend play the game as much

[final valley]

Same, its just a grind but when it works trunks is really fun

[urban tartan]

Trunks-bros I haven't gotten on since god vegeta's release yet
How are we doing vs him along with nerfed bardock/kefla?

[urban tartan]

Also NGL since S2 cooldown is better now do we still use backstab?

[honest reef]

Yes he’s still good with backstab but personally I like using it with S3 cause the smoke, the distance, and it does more damage than S2

But he has great mobility with the S2 cooldown

[fast tapir]

I only use him on S2 cooldown but the build I got is Snowball/Solid Barrier/Defense Step just cause his S2 can help him escape

[blazing cedar]

Icl Im still running giant slayer to this day

[sand shale]

I think giant slayer is better than barrier, but you have to be more careful

I'm not good enough of a trunks yet to not have barrier

I'll get there one day

[blazing cedar]

It’s even easier to use giant slayer if the divine card is s2 cooldown

[sand shale]

Ofc it is

Maybe I just suck balls at trunks

[blazing cedar]

@sand shale yo son i watched yo trunks video and it’s tuff

[sand shale]

Yo thanks

Glad you like the content

[blazing cedar]

Let’s go Im top 500 trunks now!

[sand shale]

Congrats

[sand shale]

Congrats

[blazing cedar]

Thanks

[sand shale]

I wish the damage role didn't overwrite the tech role

I want my name to be blue with the damage tag

[round kettle]

Why does Abe hold Trunks in such high regard?

[regal ridge]

because all of Trunks problems were lessened and all his strengths were giga buff making him a proper assassin.

[sand cosmos]

Also he is 100% anti-meta, everyone is sustain damage/healing, so you have this one dude with ultra burst. Suddenly you die before you're main gimmick even comes out

[urban tartan]

Not to mention that the dude with ultra burst can also kill 2-3 enemies in a row if he shows up to the teamfight late and pick off the weak ones

Or if he ults as god vegeta pulls everyone in/ults

Despite being fragile in a meta where AoE is everywhere trunks has the best of both worlds rn
A way to burst down strong tanks like god vegeta
A way to clean up in team fights that were probably going on thanks to god vegeta

[frank sphinx]

I think another big part of Trunks that even I overlook at times is that he has 2 “Ranged” attack specials on top of a solid “Warp” Melee special. Allows him to cleave off health from a safer distance if need be.

[glass dust]

I'M COMING

[sand shale]

ILL RUN YOU THROUGH

[glass dust]

WITH THIS ONE STRIKE

[sand shale]

THRUST

[glass dust]

HAAA-AAAH

[urban tartan]

I'LL FINISH YOU!

[sand shale]

I’m hoping the xenoverse outfit uses ex coins instead of gems

[urban tartan]

I wish but I'm betting that's not the case

If they had us pay irl money for april fools skins they'll have us pay for collab skins as well

[sand shale]

[urban tartan]

Gentlemen the fabled trunks culling is upon us!
#🐦squadra-posts message

Do not be upset with the future influx of bad trunks players since the throwers/kids playing him terribly will protect us from nerfs

[sand shale]

It’s very encouraging to see more people play trunks

[blazing cedar]

Yep

[urban tartan]

I would be happy to help anyone but this place is kind of a ghost town

That or...not a lot of people want to live through the horrors of the future

https://tenor.com/view/trunks-dbz-futuretrunks-trunkssleeb-trunksdbz-gif-23329441

[heavy rose]

I'm looking to learn how to go about playing Trunks. Any tips on what to level first and how I should go about playing him?

[shrewd bough]

Skill 2 Max out first

Then Skill 1

then ult

avoid skill 3

at lvl 7 save ur skill upgrade thing until u get to lvl 8

[sand shale]

“I’ve lived through the horrors of the future”

[sand shale]

I usually get skill 3 at lvl 6

It’s situational but it’s a decent strategy

[urban tartan]

You want to take out the weakest links or the most vulnerable in fights or suddenly turn things around with your ult

Your S1 is your execute since it does more damage if someone is under 50% HP it also works on mobs so that makes it the best kai and boss secure skill in the game

S2 let's you suddenly hop onto targets or run away when things are too dangerous

S3 gives you a temporary blind to your enemies in an area with the added benefit of being able to do it from a distance

Your ult/super attack is fast damage if your enemies don't have defensive step to eat it using S2 first then your ult actually makes it faster it makes it perfect to either suddenly do damage to a group or burst down a single yet dangerous target or carve a boss down down into S1 kill territory

[heavy rose]

Alright I see, how should I go about cards and is he better bottom or top?

[urban tartan]

And of course you got your passive overdrive if you get a kill/assist on an enemy or a boss it gives you a charge which let's you use a skill on cooldown 1 more time

[urban tartan]

Top lane is usually the best imo even tho trunks can work in bottom and the divine cards you want are snowball solid barrier and either LBJ for more mobility or backstab for faster skill cooldowns

What i personally live by as trunks is even if i don't exactly know what i want/have to do i gotta do it fast since he's good at speed blitzing once you get the hang of it

[blazing cedar]

I get skill 3 at level 4

I avoid leveling it for the rest of the game until level 12 but i want to have it after the first Kai

[sand shale]

I should try that

[urban tartan]

We're literally back in black guys
#✨game-moments message

[modest lagoon]

Chat, how is the drink these days?

[indigo ibex]

Pretty refreshing especially with that skill 1 draw, if you have epic hunter you can one shot him when he’s half

And he can go over both of friezas walls so that’s good

[quiet wolf]

Super start

1 v 4a team, team wiped them, and got boss at the same time

Yeah trunks is amazing

[modest lagoon]

It feels so satisfiy when you're able to jump, insta kill, vanish away

What's your level order?

[urban tartan]

S2 -> S1 -> S2 -> Ult -> S1 -> Skip -> S2 + S1 or Ult if the 2nd boss hasn't spawn or been defeated yet -> Ult/S1 -> S3 -> Ult -> S3 -> S3

[quiet wolf]

The game i got the solo team wipe i had superstars and maxed skill 3

[blazing cedar]

Pretty good

[blazing cedar]

Thats just the stuff trunks does

It doesn’t mean that maxing skill 3 is better

[blazing cedar]

S2-S1-S3-ult-S2-S1-Ult-Ult-s3-S3

[quiet wolf]

Oh of course I wanted to test it

[low trail]

What's his cards peeps? SB, PTD, BS?

[sand shale]

Burning attack should be a soft combo for jump slash

It would give it more utility other than smoke and mediocre damage

[urban tartan]

I think it would be good if it just went a few meters farther at lv1

[urban tartan]

Snowball solid barrier backstab

[sand shale]

Yeah

[urban tartan]

That way in early/mid-game team fights where it's far too dangerous to dive in you can just send out burning attacks from a good range as support

Then when someone is under 50% and blinded by smoke you can just S1 them

[low trail]

appreciatechu

[quiet wolf]

I hate that people downplay trunks

He's disgusting when you get set up properly

[indigo ibex]

If yall don’t know, if you have epic hunter during the skill 1 dmg boost, you can kill Nappa at half HP

[modest lagoon]

skill one is his poke?

[urban tartan]

Yep

[modest lagoon]

Damn. You wouldn't know how much health Jackie Chun would need? Also, epic hunter is just always active, right?

[indigo ibex]

If you need to know you could go into training mode, just you can’t test with any divine draws

[urban tartan]

I swear the devs are testing me specifically
#✨game-moments message

[urban tartan]

Note: I took the bait and got the finisher

[modest lagoon]

You're locked in as a Trunks main now

[sand shale]

I got almost 50 sg capsules saved for gotenks mvp to return and goku black

Lowkey might have to use them here

[urban tartan]

Bluds can officially call me the drink now

https://tenor.com/view/trunks-gif-25101569

[sand shale]

I GOT HEATDOME FINISHER

Sadly no intro but I got vegito intro on the same summon so I can’t complain

[whole oar]

another thing that is very important but i dont see enough people saying/doing is saving your passive cdr for when you're mostly confident you can get it back (e.g. when you're about to get a boss or you're confident you can kill someone)

the only other time that you should use it is if you absolutely need to in order to s2 out

cooldown resets are really op in mobas so using his passive properly is really important, but many people still use their passive as soon as they enter a fight, when farming, or really just whenever they feel like it even if they arent getting much value

[modest lagoon]

It's weird how there doesn't seem to be too many Trunks guides, when he's a prime canditate for them

[limpid umbra]

Fr

[quiet wolf]

Cause not alot of people wanna pick up trunks even tho he's actually really good this season

President with skill 1 boost pretty much one taps anything at the threshold even bosses

Yeah early game sucks and some characters can bully trunks but once I get level 5 I'm normally good to go and then level 7 is just body collecting

[quiet wolf]

Build normally stays the same Snowball,SB, and Backstab but I seen some trunks run lightning step as well

[modest lagoon]

Remind me what SB is again?

Oh, I'm a dumba** Solid Barrier

[quiet wolf]

Your good LS is nice if you can't keep consistent kills with trunks

But if you can manage snowball early one and transform into ssj trunks damage gets out of hand so fast

And he's one of the few Dps I have played that I got a very easy team wipe with cause of how easy he can burst people out

[low trail]

Here goes nothing. Time to give Trunks a shot again.

[low trail]

Cell Saga Trunks when?! I want my USSJ Trunks!

[hollow widget]

trunks best in top or bottom lane? I would assume bottom

[indigo ibex]

Top, tanks and the dps mainly for bot lane is too much for trunks with his low hp

[hollow widget]

just hit A rank w Trunks

playstyle is too fun

[sand shale]

I got his finisher a while ago but I never landed it bro

[glass dust]

Do y'all still use Super Snowball, Solid Barrier, and Backstab?

[sand shale]

Yep

Run giant slayer if you think you dont need barrier
