I was looking for S2 Bash. But someone just bought the last one. I ended up with S2 Triggs. Please can someone tell me any good things about him? I really wasn't thinking of getting him. I need good advice and tips on him as I am really concerned.

His Wow Pow is pretty useless however he is actually pretty powerful on the safe thrower path. He is actually one most powerful ranged attackers in the game in my opinion.

I have him the S2 Bash and the Legendary Bash, to me his very powerful and he can even defeat a Giant in pvp if you know how to use him. Also his very hard to find here were i live.

Trigger Happy is a great character.
However, Bash is probably even better!

Well, I have S1 Trigger Happy, who as far as playing is concerned would be the same except for path switching and Wow Pow. Since people on this thread have declared his Wow Pow to be useless (what IS his Wow Pow, anyway?), that doesn't make much difference except that once you pick a path you commit to it.

Looks like the path I chose (like 10 months ago, yikes!) was the Golden Gun path, and looking at the paths, I stick by it. The fact that one upgrade allows your bullets to bounce seems quite handy, and the MEGA blast of fully charging your gun is addictive. Whenever my nephews' play him, they can't resist doing it over and over, LOL! Sends him flying backwards and is VERY destructive.

Though I would be interested to see what the other path is like, how strong the safe/pot gets. smilie

I also often pully Trigger Happy out when they stick an enemy higher or behind some barrier I can't destroy, his arcing toss is good for high or over. smilie

His Wow Pow is with his gun. He shoots off some kind of flame thing around it. I am not sure how much damage it does as I don't really use his guns. The safes when they are fully upgraded can do anywhere from 40-60 a hit and then will throw smaller coins in an AoE that do 15-20 damage. If they land heads up and a bad guy walks on it it will also do damage to him.

Yeah, I remember reading about the coin flip thing, it was part of the reason I DIDN'T pick that path, I dislike having to get lucky, LOL! Usually I find with luck stuff like that, the game usually votes against me, so I'd have a pretty useless upgrade.

Had to look up his Wow Pow on YouTube to see for myself, it says that while you're using the machine gun (which I use ALL the time with him), you can press another attack button for a super blast. smilie If that at all compares to the super blast I already have for him, this Wow Pow sounds far from useless... ???!?! Watching the video it looks AWESOME, so I think the people who said it was useless didn't understand how to use it or something. Or had trouble with the two buttons thing.

I also don't understand how you DON'T use his guns, he fires as fast as you can press the button! In a second you can fill the screen with bullets/coins, no enemy is safe! Ah, to each his own.

He can do damage with the guns. Just not nearly as much as what his safes can do. You can also flip safes out pretty fast with him also.

Trigger Happy is all about the Gun path- you can fill the entire room with bouncing bullets all the while hearing him cackling away. I tried the safe path- just turns trig into a boring and bad lobber, its all about hammering A smilie.
As for his wow pow i rarely even use the machine gun, so i don't really use it- but it looks fun

I picked the Money Bags path and I managed to beat up enemies easily( the Snipers were tough). To easily level and money him up, I put SSA in, did Lair of Kaos a lot, and easily got upgtades and Level 10. But I actually don't regret buying him. But I still need to look for Bash.

You simply cannot say that Triggs is better on the Golden Frenzy path.
"ERMAHGERD 3 MOAR DAMAGEEEE OMGGG"Yeah well that's not enough, other projectile characters like *cough* Dino Rang, Zap, Flamesling, Drobot, Drill Sergeant, EVEN FREAKIN' BOOMER.Beat him, and many more that I haven't named.

The Golden Money Bags path...the range is amazing, and the AoE is pretty good too, and even if you don't always get heads, it dosen't matter, because you'll still be doing 60 Damage per lob, and it gets amazingly fast.

But about his Wow Pow...yeah it sucks ._.
The turret gun is just too slow to aim, not to mention that one hit gets you out of turret mode.

A disadvantage to the gun in addition to the slow aiming is also the "ramp up" time required for him to get started. Unless they are far enough away...they usually get to you by the time you unload (so it really doesn't matter if you have infinite bullets).

Let me try and state the obvious here. No one will ever agree on what is the character. I hate Wrecking Ball. Some people love him. I really don't like Ninjini. A lot of people love her. It is what you like to play.

I don't think the machine gun's bullets bounce, so Terreneflame is talking about the normal gun, spamming Attack 1. Which HAS no ramp up time. smilie

Right, but what I'm saying is correct too. Disadvantages of Using the turret gun that is. I wasn't giving a full character analysis lol.

To each, his/her own, I guess.

The delay in Ninjini's main attack is actually what I love the most about her. Adds a different element to her play-style, rather than just being another spam-attacker. Timed properly, the X-X-(hold)X sword combo is vicious ... but you won't get the combo effect if you just spam X.
If you want to play Ninjini as a spam attacker, just use the magic orb/ball ranged attack, rather than the swords.

^ that is not exactly very fast either and i always try to do combos because they are good BUT i when i mess up i like that i can try again right away with most characters. i cant do that with ninjini because of the delay and i end up getting hit. Sometimes i can do the combo over and over and it is good but like i said you cant start over right away like with most characters and i get hit when if i had been playing with someone like crusher it would just immediately flow right into the next attack.

The few combo players I've played so far as a bit touchy---reminds me of Mortal Kombat in terms of the specific timing element involved. I actually feel "at home" with this mechanism but I guess if you just want to droll and hit a button over and over and over I guess that's an option.
